Reviews (page 6 of 7)
Sounds nice but not my kind of music.
as a westerner myself, this isn't something I'm truly drawn to. I love the representation, it surely is good, but just not something I'll listen to on a regular basis.
Not exactly my jam and was very hard to actively listen to but once I spaced out and it was just in the background it wasn't actively painful to my ears.
Indian music. I mean, you can tell that it’s quality, but I can’t really say much about it. Album is super long, and I cannot understand what’s being said. It is good, but it’s nothing I’ll come back to or understand. Awesome album cover though. Standouts: Yeh Jo Halka Saroor Hae, and Haq Ali Ali Haq.
I'm sure Nusrat is the very best at what he does. It's just not for me.
12 six minute+ songs and they aint hittin that hard.... they are quite upbeat tho which i quite enjoy its just very long 2.4/5
I listened to just enough to know this isnt for me. It'd probably be a great live experience though
I wanted to like this but I just couldnt get into it. I like the arrangement of instruments and sounds but two songs in and it just felt like a chore.
Pretty perky for prayers. The Episcopalian hymnal could take a lesson. Not my preferred listening material though.
It's not bad. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Horrible
Hade kunnat vara en stark trea om det var hälften så långt
¿Por qué nos hacéis escuchar esto?
This would have been way more accessible if all the songs were half their length. You get a minute of "this is pretty interesting" followed by three to seven minutes of "enough already."
usually diversity is a good thing, but this really ..... is something special.
Wenn ich die Stücke höre, bedaure ich, dass ich die Texte nicht verstehe, da ich die Sprache nicht spreche.
Great getting ready music, not great driving music
The music was great but the vibes were not.
Someone’s hands must have been sore after that recording. Great sitar playing.
Appreciate the listen for a new perspective. Unfortunately just kinda sounds generic for me. Maybe if I spent more time with the genre I could have a more informed opinion. However, I probably won't Will I listen to again: 0%
I'm not racist, but, this didn't do anything for me.
Great to listen to something different. Unfortunately, I totally lost interest after 10 minutes.
While this was a nice LP to mix things up culturally on what has been an extremely Western-centric project, it was simply too damn long for my taste. The sitar compositions are rich and recorded wonderfully, but even the most beautiful instrumentation would struggle to carry an hour-and-a-half album. The tonal center doesn't deviate much either, meaning things blur together after a while.
Didn’t finish. YouTube being a pain in the ass. Got through enough to allow me to rate it. It’s ok.
Not for me.
This was quite a challenge; not really my thing but has interesting flourishes dotted through the long runtime. Crassly, reminded me of a night out on Brick Lane. Veers into 1* territory at times, but I'll chalk that up to my general ignorance of the style. He can certainly sing for long periods uninterrupted! As another astute reviewer here points out, "better than Radiohead"
I don't understand the lyrics, and musically, it just ain't my bag. Perfectly okay, but a bit bland.
Not for me
Genre: Bollywood (?) Instruments: 3/5 Modern Translation: 3/5 Dance Potential: 1/5 Listening Location: while writing a contract Heard it before: no Favourite Song: NA Made me feel: good album to work to since I can’t understand anything. Impressive range and was upbeat. Probably wouldn’t listen again.
Sounds are interesting and enjoyable. Major drawback is not being able to understand what he is singing about. It seems highly repetitive.
instrumentals are nice-interesting to hear a very different type of music. However....after hearing a couple of the songs, they seem to blend together (same formula, building of music/lyrics, and long). his voice comes off as shouting at times, but there is also a language barrier.
Not meaning any disrespect, but all I can hear is the backing music to people ordering many many pints of Cobra and some jalfrezi with naan breads
¿Por qué nos hacéis escuchar esto?
Not really my thing but im sure its someone's.
I’d be happy to listen to the odd song but a whole album is a bit much
An entry by the King of Kings of Qawwali. Qawwali is a genre of Sufi Islamic devotional music that borrows from ICM (Indian Classical Music) with an emphasis on the dynamic range and intensity of the vocalist. Nusrat is a person who could sing for serious periods of time to awe the audience. He takes the show away. As an album experience, few people want to listen to so many 8-minute tracks over the course of 1.5 hours. It's far too long and exhausting, and almost none of the track justify their lengths. It feels a bit formulaic in terms of the song progression, straight from the minimalist intro to the buildup. And this is just boring and predictable for the weaker tracks, but it does grab your attention when some cool improvasional technique is performed, especially with what his vocals could do. The backing is lush and quite beautiful, and has incredible moments, but for the most part it is repetitive and tame in an attempt to highlight the religious themes and lyrics. Favorites: Yeh Jo Halka, San son Ki Mala Pey, Yaad-E-Nabi, Ali Maula
Interesting. Not something I will listen to too often, but a different musical form. A bit too whiny for me...
Another foreign-language song where the connection is really hard to establish; it has some nice sounding stuff and an undeniably great rhythm running through it, it's atmospheric and skilled but I can't really get on board with it because of that distance between me and understanding the content.
A pleasant sounding listen, but 90 minutes really drag when you can't understand a word of it. It's pretty samey, too. 2/5.
I respect the culture and tradition that this album represents, but, for me, it has very little value. It obviously has no lyrics for me to connect to. It wasn't written to have hooks or to be "progressive" musically or challenging artistically. The album is a reflection of a culture and spiritual tradition and utility, which I don't share or connect to.
technically interesting, but not my taste
Fateh Ali Khan is the undisputed king of Sufi music and he’s an incredibly passionate singer. But I think we already had one of his albums and if you don’t understand his language it tends to all sound similar after awhile.
So very different. Not my cup of tea. Each song seemed to be a ramble.
Impassioned vocals, cool instrumentation. But I'm such a lyrics person, it's hard to listen to a full album of this music without knowing what he's singing.
Geen idee
I like the energy, but I can't listen to an entire album straight through. My ears are not trained for this type of singing.
I'm going to try to set aside the fact that this is essentially religious music, someone wailing away to a made up god who doesn't exist and, if they did exist, would be a cruel and corrupt deity not worthy of worship. Musically this was pretty much as described, some bloke moaning and wailing for around 45 minutes, with simple drums and stringed instruments backing him. It wasn't terrible, but every time he sang Allah I was reminded that this is for idiots who follow a made up man who lives in the sky and then fight other people because they aren't similarly deluded. It gets a begrudging two stars for being kind of relaxing in places.
This is too much to try to learn to appreciate in a short period of time. It unfortunately all sounds the same and has an irritating quality.
I appreciate this but I don't enjoy it
Nah.
This is exactly how I think this type of music would sound like. 4/10
Ehh not for me 3/10
I found this horribly boring. The singing was too monotonous and repetitive for a language I don't speak to be engaging, the backing instrumentation changing so little in any song that it lacks any sense of movement whatsoever. The sound did little more for me than invoke a Hollywood depiction of the middle east. I understand this is likely hugely influential in Sikh music, but as someone lacking any cultural connection, I bounced off.
Best song - Yaad-E-Nabi Gulshan Mehka
Reminds me of being in good old Detroit Can be nice at times but probably not anything I'll go back to
Uhm, ok, we gaan weer compleet iets doen waar ik nog nooit naar geluisterd heb. Wat dit precies is, geen idee. Volgens mij kerkelijke muziek ofzoiets? Heel benieuwd, wel een lang album met anderhalf uur. Ik ben bang dat dit een hele, hele lange zit gaat worden. Dit is gewoon niet echt mijn muziek. Ik kan waarderen denk ik dat dit ontzettend belangrijk is voor mensen die hier in geloven, maar ik zou dit nooit zelf luisteren en vind het lastig om hier nu van te genieten ofzo? Yeh jo Halka Saroor Hae vind ik tot nu toe het beste nummer? Ook omdat het ene soort van door blijft gaan en steeds intenser word, maar zelfs dan, de tekst en de muziek pakt me niet zo. Toch geef ik dit album 2 sterren, in plaats van 1. Het is niet voor mij en ik zal het niet snel luisteren, toch snap ik ergens wel de relevantie van het album envind ik het ook wel vet dat zoiets in de lijst word opgenomen dat zo afwijkt van de normale muziek norm.
Interesting enough listen but it dragged on, didn’t feel essential really
I dont hate it, but I feel so far removed from the culture I got no idea what to really feel about it. When I saw that this dude has a song that goes for longer then an hour I actually got scared. Its impressive shit and obviously very important, but its lost on me
Not bad but not for me
African nasal mumbling, not my thing
Unique in this list, not sure if that deserves stars but it will get 2 from me
Interesting enough
Not my thing
Music was interesting but I could have done without the vocals, they got old real fast and fairly annoying by the end of the album. Thank being said I still appreciate the music.
I like the percussion and music quite a bit, not so much the vocals. And Allah Hoo was way too much for me. Is it a “good” record? I guess so? Do I need to hear it again? Nah.
yeah im too white for this
Árabe. Casi todo vocal. Coros. Se hace pesado y rallante.
I'm 18 sitting in chai ovna. I'm nursing some tea with twigs floating in it desperately trying to convince myself I wouldn't rather be in the union drinking diesel
I have been converted
Very droning once again. 4/10
No. Thank you, but no. Not even close to anything I'd ever want to hear again. 2/5
AJ: nope. Scrolled for a half hour trying to find this album. Dude put out thousands of records apparently. One song I clicked sounded cool musically, but honestly, hard pass. He gets Madonna’s stars.
Upbeat, interesting Indian sound. But, I don't understand what they are saying!
Can't rate. When I get these albums I just picture myself in a midleastern restaurant.
Just couldn’t get into this one
While I appreciate the World Music, this was far too long with very little difference.
Perché?
From looking at the album list for this guy, he had a prolific career, but it’s not for me.
I don't mind world music, it can be nice and refreshing. At least to my western ears, every track on this album sounds basically the same, sometimes venturing in annoyance territory. I had to skip forward from time to time. 2/5
A petite mini dose ca pourrait passer, mais 45 minutes. Ce n'est tellement pas mon style et aussi culturellement c'est plus difficille car on comprend pas trop le but ni le message. Je n'ai pas détesté mais ce n'est probablement pas un album qu'il faut avoir ecouté dans sa vie. Cet artiste a sortit pr`s de 50 albums. Est-ce que celui se démarque ? je pense qu'il ne se démarque probablement meme pas de ces albums a lui, encore moi de la musique traditionnelle indienne... 2
Not sure I listened to all the right songs but I think I got the gist. Probably really nice if you're into that allah stuff.
No problem with it at all, parts are very beautiful, but doesn't jump out.
just okay to me...
Not for me
I don't know this style of music very well, so I don't know how it compares to similar music. I don't hate it, but the songs should have been a lot shorter. Favorite song: yaadan vichre sajan dian aiyan
I love learning about other culture's music but this album's songs were all three minutes too long? I feel like this was an alright one to listen to but I wouldn't really listen again. Nothing was completely wrong with it it just is not up my alley.
ehh I feel bad not liking this because it's so outside my world and I love to get exposed to something new and different... ...but this is just not something I enjoy listening to. At all. Would be able to get through it much more easily if it were instrumental but there's something about this Eastern vocal style - the quick little inflections. ...I'll allow that it's tough to give this less than a 2 (given that this week I had to listen to the band Suicide so I'll pay some respect to tradition and talent) so I'll give it my ignorant grade and move on... 3/10 2 stars
Not my thing but it was still interesting to hear.
No no no. I need something way less pious than this today.
De sfeer vind ik te gek, alsof ik aan de munt thee zit, gehuld in witte doeken in het midden van de sahara, maar doordat ik dit soort muziek niet goed genoeg ken, kan ik 't niet plaatsen en begint alles op elkaar te lijken.
Tja, dit is een lastige. Ik weet dat mijn all-time held Jeff Buckley enorm fan was van Nusrat. Dus met dat in het achterhoofd ben ik hier toch eens aan begonnen. En ja, het is vocaal gezien zeer interessant en knap gedaan. Maar na zo'n drie kwartier aan oosterse geluiden, was de koek toch wel op.
In the proper context, I’d guess that this is a great work of art. I don’t have the background to understand that context at this time, so purely as a listening experience for me, this was a 2.
Ummm
native indian songs I feel weird even giving a score 2.5
Album 13 of 1001 Nusrat Fatch Ali Khan & Party - Love & Devotion Favorite Track : Yeh Jo Halka Saroor Hae Rating : 2 / 5 First Impressions. How many possible positive experiences have been thwarted by acting on first impressions? I would guess many. Some personal, some professional, some musical. My first impression was that my next hour was going to be spent listening to chants. As I got back to my work and let this play, I found that it made for some very relaxing and positive background sounds. The music is Sufi devotional music known as Qawwali. It would certainly round out one's playlist. A little rock and little jazz, throw in some blues and a bit of Qawwali. It was fine, but not likely to make it into my daily listening.
It is Qawwali music. It was alright. I have no idea what they are saying. I wouldn't pick this album to listen to again but I tolerated better than others. I will round up.
Pros: I love hearing music from around the world. This was definitely something that I would have never discovered on my own. The music itself was pretty good and the chanting was oddly calming. Cons: I definitely won’t listen to this again as I am not the target audience. I understand the cultural and religious importance this music has for many people.
I have no idea what to say about this. It wasn't actively terrible, but it wasn't meaningful either.
Nice vibe
Man, that was rough. An hour and a half of repetitive chanting and wailing in a language I don't understand was... well, it was difficult to get through. I'm sure, if you're a Sufi adherent and can sing along, this is a jam. I am not and cannot. Ergo, this is not my jam. It was just kinda grueling.
Listen I'm sure people of the culture can appreciate and I can respect Nusrat's devotion to his music and you can hear it in some of the music, but I can't quite get into old Pakistani music. Not his fault, I'm just from the other side of the world. 4/10.
some of the music was cool but i didn’t love the voice and don’t speak the language so it didn’t do much for me
Not my cup of very strong, sweet tea.
It is nice to hear music from the other side of the World. This is definitely something I would have never even considered listening to without it showing up here. It is nothing I would choose to hear again though. I can appreciate it and its influence on other similar artists, but it is not an album or a style of music that fits into my personal music likings. 2/5
not gonna happen
I puked...
2/10 Escuche el primer disco nomas, aburridisimo. Siento que estoy en una excursión en África o en una novela turca, si lo sacas de ese contexto es malisimo
Interesting to listen to but not my speed.
Is it my fault that every song is the same flavour of bad?
wtf
This is just not for me.
a bit too exotic for my taste
06/24 Boring
I might be totally ignorant about this kind of thing, but this sort of religious ecstasy doesn't really qualify as music in my book. Probably very well done for what it's supposed to be considering all the praise it gets, but I can't stand it.
Chingelchangelmuziek...
# Album Name: Devotional Songs # Artist: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Sorry allah, but this one belongs in the bin. # Top Tunes: # Would I listen to it again? No
0.5/5 Nope.
Often times I say that everything sounds the same from certain artists. What’s unique here is, that everything sounds the same from this genre. From every artist. All the same wailing high pitched singing over a sitar. It’s all just the same shit over and over. Annoying.
Yeah okay, was interseting to some Sufi music, but really not my thing, I can see where it comes from but after a while it gives me headache. 1. Yaad-E-Nabi Gulshan Mehka 2. Haq Ali Ali Haq 3. Mast Narzoon Se Allah Bachhae
So whose bright idea was it to take a 15-second phrase and play it for eight f****ing minutes, and then do that for every track? I'm sure that this is great, if this is your thing, but there wasn't a banger in the bunch.
If I ever get captured at war and subjected to intensive interrogation techniques, I’d quite enjoy the default playlist of continuous, extremely loud death metal. If however, my captors put headphones on me and played 10 minutes of this album, I’d tell them ANYTHING. And I mean anything.
Genuinely couldn't tell the difference between any song
Situations where I’ve thought South Asian music was good: A) In India, where it was part of the cultural experience B) In a curryhouse, and who doesn’t love a curry C) Listening to The Beatles, and therefore not actually listening to South Asian music at all. Strip these things away and this kind of music does nothing for me.
There are 300 albums of his on Apple Music but somehow this isn’t one of them.
Eastern music. So enigmatic and repetitive
I do not enjoy this kind of music.
i don’t really want to listen to music about god that also isn’t available on spotify
I’m good
I really didnt like this. I turned it off.
Not for me
Two 1-star albums in a row--woof!
About 100 albums in, I have come to dislike double albums and the overrepresentation of Anglo-Saxon rock bands from 1966 until 1986 or so. After listening to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for 1,5 hours, I’ll only ever complain about double albums again.
Not available on Apple Music
what the fuck
Ei ymmärrystä kielestä ja ei muutenkaan osunut itselle.
Appreciate the non-English language music, didn't appreciate this. Just not very interesting and quite long. Didn't find it nearly as hypnotic as others seem to have.
not for me
That’s a bit too Middle Eastern for my taste. I usually hear music like that coming from the overpowered show-off cars of our little friends from Asia Minor in the inner-city ghettos. And even there, I don’t enjoy it. 1/5
Never!
¿Qué mierda es esto?
I don’t wanna listen to normal Paul Simon, let alone Pakistani Paul Simon
I guess this album has deep significance for the right audience but I am not part of that audience.
No thanks. No offense, but not really very interesting at all.
No idea why this is on the list
DNL
Listened Before? N NAH. Added to Library? N
I’m not going to pretend I listened to all of this because life is short and I value it just about enough to cut this one short. Sorry not sorry
Actually not as bad as I thought, but not something I’d ever listen to again
Shite.
Not for me
No thanks. I did give it a go though...
Honestly quite listenable in a rhythmic way, but it was a bit of a marathon listening to both discs. Would be decent for work or something but can't justify a 2
Yeah this is another scenario where I can appreciate the relevance and its place on the list but the music is just not for me. Nothing about this is bad per se but I just don’t get it and won’t be returning again (1/5)
Did me nut in. Bailed after the first track.
Hard to find and not for me.
Just listened to the first one, and immediately understood I wouldn't be able to go all the way.
This was such a slog for me. It would have been fine as an instrumental, but the vocalization drove me up a wall. I was counting the minutes until it finished. The last song of the album was my favorite, but that’s not saying much.
It's just not for me
I would have never listened to this under any other circumstances. To be honest I didn't hate it or really have any negative feelings towards it. It just isn't something I'm ever going to listen to again, I do appreciate it from an educational standpoint though. Playlist track: Mast Nazroon Se Allah Bachae
Interesting but repetitive
meh
Nope I listened to thirty seconds of the first song and skipped through other songs just no I have nothing against this kind of music I just can stand it
That was a musical journey. And one I don't think I will take again.
Look kinda hiphopie. Uhm i tried buttuh i don’t like it😣
Tbh I didn’t even listen to the whole thing. Couldn’t get through it but also didn’t try
p701. 1992. 1 star. Token nod to World Music for the list. I think I heard this as background music in a curry house in Stoke. The food was good, the music less so. Would not listen to it again.
Sometimes interesting. I cannot enjoy, though. He worships a dead god.
Nah
Pues no sé si debo votar, porque no tengo ni idea de si me gusta o no. No tengo la menor formación musical para opinar sobre estos estilos. Supongo que será de puta madre, pero yo he sido incapaz de distinguir una canción de otra. La portada es muy bonita, eso sí.
Devotion
I'm certain there's a cultural piece that I'm missing limiting my potential enjoyment of this album, but it really is not that musically interesting at all. Feels like the same melody and vocalizations for the entire runtime
I do not care for this style of music and the fact he has way too many albums actively annoys me.
26.500.000 flytninger til én af numrene. Tænk at så mange kan tage så meget fejl. Jeg vil hellere høre indiske cover versioner af julenumre hele december, end at lytte til det her album igen.
Det ligger så langt væk fra mine musikalske referencepunkter at jeg hverken kan vurdere eller påskønne det
There were a few vocal parts that were cool and it’s interesting how the songs continuously kept tension over several minutes. It’s always a nice change of pace to remember how big the musical world is but I didn’t get much out of this. Rating: 1.4
Wrong culture, not for me.
I hope to never listen to this again but I’m glad I got the opportunity to listen, if that makes sense? Not for me but I acknowledge the vocal skill.
Det ligger helt utanför min kompetens att bedöma kvaliteten på det här. Det kanske är svinbra i sin genre, vad vet jag. Men eftersom musiklyssning är en subjektiv vetenskap kan jag bara gå på min känsla. Och jag tycker det här är vedervärdigt att lyssna på.
Det verkar ha getts ut ett par hundra album med Nusrat per år från början av 70-talet och fram till idag. Imponerande med tanke på att han dog 1997. Allt som killen sjungit in ges tydligen ut. 2012 gavs albumet Immortal ut. Samma år gavs Immortal vol. 135 ut. Gjorde misstaget att lyssna på disc 1 via Spotifylänken. Men efter att ha lyssnat på disc 2 upptäcker jag att det inte spelade någon roll för betyget. Pakistansk religös folkmusik. Inte min genre. Jag tror inte att jag hade uppskattat låtarna även om jag förstått punjabi.
Not on Apple Music
Nah
Today I learned that this exists.
I really enjoy digging deep into ‘global’ music, or whatever the most appropriate term is. There’s so much incredible music out there, it seems a shame to restrict yourself to what are essentially variations if the same thing. Not this though. Definitely not this.
I want to forget.
This was a lot, both in the literal time sense but also in the sense-battering intensity side of things too. An hour and a half of this is a lot to ask of me. I managed ten of the twelve tracks before i just couldn't take any more. I don't fell like I would have been missing anything from the final 2? But it saved me 14 minutes of challenge.
Hate to say it but just too monotonous. I usually go 3 stars automatically for world records but i gotta swerve with this one. Basically unlistenable
Orrible.
Exactly the same as every one of these sort of albums.
point9.
Wish I could give this zero, absolutely miserable.
I know I'm more than likely missing some cultural context for this, but I didn't take anything away from listening to this.
perdón pero no
Not for me.
Sonically, this album is decent. Vocally, it is not. The singer has some interesting vocalizations and tones, but it’s just not pleasing to my ear overall. I found that I enjoyed the intros to a couple of the songs most of all. I’m glad I listened to it, as I’m always looking to broaden my musical horizons. This one just wasn’t my cup of tea.
No me interesa para nada este sonido.
This is not for me.
I feel like I'm so brainwashed by Western music that I can't truly appreciate this.
I have no idea if this is good or not. I listened to less than 30 seconds. Extremely not my jam. Is it important? Probably, maybe. But I'm not gonna find out. I wish I could be more open minded about this but it's not where my head is right now.
Not interested at all
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is this?
Not my cup of tea
Not my cup of tea
I really wasn't feeling it.
This is neither my cup of tea nor my cup of coffee. It became boring very quickly. I'm glad to have it behind me and won't have to listen to it again.
Don't have it on apple music
Now I think I like 'foreign' music more than the next man but this album was annoying as f**k. Sorry not sorry.
Headache inducing. Instrumentals were good at points but I would never listen to this again unless to troll someone
Nope…
I listened to one song and skimmed a few others. I feel like I get it.
I’m devoted to my wife and kids. I will not play this for them.
Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan took me far outside my musical comfort zone. I found it challenging to locate the album, and even more difficult to engage with the music itself. While I recognize that the purpose of this challenge is to broaden horizons through exposure to different languages, cultures, and musical styles, this particular genre didn’t resonate with me. That said, I appreciate the opportunity to explore something so deeply rooted in tradition and spirituality, even if it wasn’t to my taste.
Not very good.
Sorry for being narrowminded and uncultured, but I didn’t like listening to this at all
Mujahideen album.
Just really not my thing
Nope
Awful
This is just so far from what I'm used to listening to. I'd have to give this one more time
No. Just no. It took two songs, that basically sounded exactly the same and then I was done.
meh
Interesting to listen to but really not my sort of thing at all.
WTF?! 🤬
Not it
Shout out to the guy whose review pointed out the Spotify link takes you to a double album. The only way I could find the actual Devotional Songs album was by googling "Devotional Songs Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Spotify". Saves you 45 minutes. I enjoyed just a single song from this slog of an album. It was "Yaad-E-Nabi Guishan Mehka" and I think it's because it didn't sound exactly the same as the other songs which could honestly be a single song for all I know. However, that one song can't make up for how bored I was listening to the rest of it. Maybe if I understood Urdu/Punjabi, I could appreciate it more at least just for the lyrics but that's not something I'm prepared to do at the moment.
Not for me 1/5
This just isn't for me.
Mumba-Yumba
probably won't listen again, but it was good focus music for a work session
Sorry, just not for me.
Nope
No me gusto
awful
Probably a cultural thing but I did not enjoy this album. Probably just not used to this music and it was 1.5 hours which is too dang long!
I respect the vocal talent but this was definitely not for me
The first album in I year I could not finish. I dislike country, I dislike pop but I definitvely hate chanting. Nonchanting religpus albim belongs in any top whatever list. They all suck. gave it one cause I coamt rate it 0
Can’t stand this music
not for me repetitive as hell annoying NNN
God, kill me now...
Not for me.
I don’t feel qualified to judge this one. I don't like the music. Like Ravi Shankar’s sitar, it’s like fingernails on a blackboard to my ears but who knows? Maybe he’s a genius.
Didn’t listen - not available
Garbage.
The music has a nice swing to it at times but I just can’t stand the vocal tone. No way I’m I doing 90mins of this.
Not for me. 1/5
This music …. This is not my kind of music
What!?
Islamic Devotional Songs? I cannot believe this idol worshiping, pagan farce is on this list. If I had to torture someone for exactly 1.5 hours I would simply play them this album.
Just nope. Tedious music. I’m not the target audience.
The only album in this projects I far that I couldn’t finish. They just pick one best and repeat it for like 8 minutes. So bad.
Cannot go past 1st track.
Meh. Devotional songs are lost on me.
Not for me
Can appreciate different music and culture but not an album I would listen to.
Blind album and artist. Not for me. Don't underside it at all...
Nahhhhhh not my thing at all
There were a few songs that I thought were gonna break into that sweet Slumdog Millionaire-type jam, but then didn’t. I get it: this man had what is considered to be one of the best voices in the history of humanity. I’m just not a fan of Qawwali music. Sorry not sorry.
While listenable, this isn't something I want to listen to. At all.
Couldn’t get into this one
I'm at a loss as to how I am to listen to this with no sources for streaming.
I disagree
Songs about the evil man in the sky...
Horse shit
It’s cool he loves God but he should devote some of his time writing better songs.
Звучит очень хорошо и впечатляюще, но я просто очень сильно не люблю вот эти мидл ист мотивы - и этот альбом, несмотря на всю вот эту технику, ничего в моих глазах (ушах) не меняет. Лучшая песня - Haq ali ali haq.
Quite the departure from yesterday. We will see how much of this I can get through. Made it through the first album. Whatever.
This music gave me anxiety. No bueno
Just not my taste
well...
I wouldn't go out of my way to find this kind of thing. Thats the review
Wait a second, I'm like 85% positive I've already had this one. Curse you Mandela, you dimensional warlock, and your Effect! Doesn't have a Wikipedia article, but Discogs says that only the first 6 songs were on the original release, so that's what I'm going to listen to, because I'd rather pour molten slag down my urethra than listen to this kind of music for 90 minutes. Yeah it was exactly what I expected it would be. Appreciate the attempt at diversification, but I guess South Asian music just isn't something my ears were built for. I feel bad, but I quite literally got 0 enjoyment from this, so I gotta hit it with the 1/5.
Fine. Until he starts singing ...
no
90 minutes of wailing. Yoko Ono must be a fan.
There was a moment where I thought "Oh, it's started replaying from the start. Thank god that was such a short album." just to see that I was only halfway through Every song sounds the exact same and I didn't like any of them.
World seems to sound discordant and a bit droning. Also: Not available at any streaming service.
I have no idea what he is going on about. To my ears, just a loaf of whaling and twanging.
One track stretched into a double album. Good to hear something different but way too long. Half of this would have been twice too long
Not much to say here, couldn't get into it
Definitely nope
most songs sounded the same…. that sound you ask? dog meat
Rachel songs. Música do Paquistão.
No vá.
Yeah, I tried... I really did. This gave me anxiety.
I'm certain this is very nice for someone, but that someone is not me.
not for me.
Note before starting the album: This man has the most albums I've ever seen on Spotify. I must have scrolled past over a hundred to find this? This one is too far away from my usual listenings. It felt like the beginning of every song had a unique funky section, then they would all turn into approximately the same song again? I more than likely just don't have the palette for this at all. I'm forced to do something I've never done before. This album gets a 2/10 from me.
Different at least, but also super random on this list
This type of music sounds discordant and a bit droning. Listened and tried to appreciate, but didn't.
Enjoyed the instrumentals not the singing.
Qawwali. Una tortura. Un 1.
It's cool to hear something I otherwise would have never listened to, however, this will be the only time I listen to it. It's just not for me.
Pretty inaccessible
Fair play to the man who has 125 albums and holds a Guinness World Record for it. Let’s just say, this wasn’t for me.
Bronze age ***post
Not my type and language
Not for me.
Bullshit
I like to think I'm really open to different sounds from around the world but that was mostly fuckin annoying, jesus
Not really my genre
If I knew what they were saying in English, then it would be better. They also only use the title as the only words in the song. It gets to a point where it’s just the same thing.
