not really my vibe. i do appreciate these albums / artists that helped to paved the way, but i won't say that this was the most enjoyable album for me. like... its just fine. i guess this could also be a three star middle of the road vote, but realistically i wouldn't ever go back to this and listen to it.
Not bad by any means but I found myself pretty bored listening to it. Fun to hear different styles from around the world but I won’t be coming back to this one.
This is what happens when a cult leader convinces everyone to make an album rather than murder a celebrity. ....he still makes everyone have sex with him though.
This sounds like something from a Ren Fair. Meh.
Ganske udmærket på anden gennemlytning. Første var lidt mere wtf.
Yah I hated this album. It was torture to sit through. I kept thinking it would get better but it’s so grating to have such overbearing strings that never go away and never get overshadowed by anything else. There’s absolutely no variety in this album. Almost every song on the album sounds exactly like the previous song. I can appreciate how talented these musicians are, but this is the greatest example of having too much of one sound and it waters down and drowns out the rest of the album.
I started to listen and all I could think about was Monty Python. While the music is interesting(?) ah...make that jarring, some of the lyrics are a stretch for my brain. Not something I would return too.
An album so wild and weird I have to give it some positive praise. While at times it can veer into a cacophony, I discovered that all the pieces intentually and thoughtfully fit somehow. Fans of the Strawbs and Robert Wyatt will find quite a bit to enjoy here.
I think this is the album that made me question myself. I don’t mean that in the sense that I thought it was awful, like seemingly 90% of the user base here thinks. But because I’m starting to ask myself if I’m just easy to please. This is my fourth album given to me from the lowest rated part of the list. I was expecting a shitshow of weird 60’s psychedelic music that was probably made by a cult or something. But like the other lowest rated albums I got, I left wondering what the hell people thought was that wrong with it. Yeah, it’s got its share of bizarre lyrics, it sounds like it comes from the pits of a local renaissance fair, and it slightly overstays its welcome. But the music mostly competent, dare I say slightly soothing. The instruments and vocals do blend really nicely, which is nothing what I thought it was going to be. Much like the other lowest-rated albums I got (outside of Kollaps, that was rough), I have no idea why this got the rating it did. It’s weird, I get that. But there’s got to be way worse on here. Maybe I’m just easy to please. Favorite track: Koeeoaddi There Other hits: Witches Hat, A Very Celluoid Song, The Minotaur’s Song, Nightfall, Mercy I Cry City
What a beautiful first minute or so; I was not expecting it to be so pretty. I had to make a concerted effort to temper my expectations; it would be such a shame to be overexcited for the album after such a short time. The rest of the album certainly engages my folk nerd brain a lot more. I love the recording that makes the instruments sound like they're right next to my head. So refreshing compared to modern production techniques. I love the utterly unpredictable melodies and sound palettes. The unabashed extended vocal techniques only add to the folky charm. Great stuff, albeit slightly inaccessible depending on my mood.
fantasy campfire realm
I really liked it at the start, but it sounded worse to me in the end.
Exceptional, fun time, really liked it, everyone hating on it doesn't have any whimsy and joy in their life 5
Live strings are awesome campfire songs lowkey not my style of music
óheyrilega tilgerðarlegt og innblástur margra myrkraverka ímynda ég mér. þrátt fyrir það finnst mér þetta skemmtilegt og betra en margt breskt fólk frá svipuðum tíma.
Their third album. Scottish Psychedelic Folk Rock. This album is wildly bizarre. A lot of acid was consumed here. I don't know if they're sincere, fucked up on acid or delivering genius level parody. Maybe a bit of all three. I do get some Monty Python vibes at times. To say this is experimental is an understatement. It makes me want to go live in the forest with pixies. It is somehow whimsically beautiful. Only the UK music scene could serve this up !
Absolutely not!! This is awful. I haven't skipped an album yet through 98 albums, and I said I would listen to every track on every album for all 1001 albums, well this one broke me. This is an amalgamation of tripped out Scottish hippies who only ever heard The Beatles and never learned how to make music but within their commune and small circle who live in a cave, they are talented. I listened to somewhere between the first 30 and 60 seconds of every song and literally felt like torture on every single song. What a fucking joke. There is literally bath water as an instrument in one song (about water) which isn't in and of itself a terrible idea but mixed with jingle bells and singing through their nose and the flute from Zelda just makes it more insane. I can't forgot to mention the horribly played sitar aimlessly placed throughout the record. What the fuck was this? This has to be a joke that it is on this list. The last song you can literally hear the spit in the person singing's mouth stick on his tongue. .2/10 (credit for putting themselves and there art out in the world) 99/1001
Terrible. Awful
If only this was a self parody, it would be genius! Either way, I’ll never subject my ears to this again. Not my jam.
Yeah, pass. Thanks for the effort
Interestingly, The Incredible String Band is not incredible.
I wanted to like this but it was just too silly
Very odd lyrics with a wide range of predominantly folk instruments...can appreciate how it was influential
Have you ever known you're going to hate an album within the first 10 seconds? No? Try this one. I feel further vindicated in my opinion after listening to the whole thing. I regret electricity was wasted to play this in my home.
Never heard of them so now idea what to expect. It's a strange one. I listened to this, sat in my garden on a beautiful sunny day, relaxed. It sounds ok. 3* I think it could have been different on a cold, wet, miserable day in January, it would have made it worse so only 2* on that occasion.
Honestly this was fun, y’all just don’t have enough whimsy in your lives!
The strings are indeed incredible. Very psychedelic.
Bra, men lite kämpigt att ta sig igenom
If it turns out that this band a part of cult, that was surprised me not.
This is just terrible and I hope to never hear it again
tree hugging hippy crap
Gives me Over the Garden Wall vibes. Very wacky; psychedelic is indeed how I’d describe it. I think because it’s folk ant its core, it escapes the one star rating. A few highlights. But mostly discordant, which I don’t like.
Eh, I get it, sure, but it's not my preference of music.
Barely got through it! But I get the sentiment I think...? Favorite: Swift As The Wind
I love Bob Dylan and think I hate folk music. There's borrowing from older musical styles, and there's copying a type of music that died out half a millennium ago to appear "creative" or "authentic". This is like the music Hobbits listen to except they aren't real. Wes Anderson loves these dorks. The lead singer sounds like Nico. This is like a gag album. I hope Dynamite Hack or Right Said Fred made the list too. Robert Wyatt probably loves these goofballs too. I bet you could play this over the video for Safety Dance and it would feel like it made sense. Have to love the random water sounds behind all the wizard lyrics on The Water Song. It definitely feels like Led Zeppelin liked this band. The Indian influenced songs are much better than the English ballads. This is insufferable. I spoke too soon on the sitar music.
Amusing? Definitely bizarre. Made it through. This to me is awful. Still better than Oasis.
I could handle the sitar. I could not handle the singing. Jesus Christ himself could not handle the singing. 2/10
I'll preface this by saying that this is much better than most of the lesser known 60s psychedelia that I've gotten in this generator. However, I don't think I really in the right state of mind to judge it properly, if you know what I mean. It's not really a "Monday morning in the home office" kind of album. I did enjoy a lot of the instrumentation though, and especially liked "The Minotaur's Song" and "Walz of the New Moon". Maybe I'll come back to it again some night after a few jars.
2/5
make it stop
I can’t name one instrument used but I think it’s alright.
Unlistenable noise.
This is one of the strangest albums I've come across on this list because it's not good, but I also can't turn it off because what the heck is going to come next? I can't imagine who honestly enjoys this, but if you hate this I think something is wrong with you. It's just so weird and whimsical and strangely captivating.
What a vibe. Liked it way more than I thought I would. The different styles all worked well. Not sure if any one song would be a “single” but loved it all.
get fucked haters
# Album Name: The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter # Artist: The Incredible String Band # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Woah, you gotta be trippin dude. not for me this one. # Top Tunes: none # Would I listen to it again? no
pretty cool sound
Putting a sitar on the record doesn't make a record good. It's unlistenable
Good record.
Weird, but might be worth a register at another point in life. Medieval folky musical tone
There is some cool ancient or medieval folk, but most contemporary folk music is sedative to me. It is just so monotonous, often with no standout parts, which for me is boring. The only monotonous music I enjoy is either using this monotony to create a captivating atmosphere or is comprised of extremely fun rhythms that I’m not opposed to hearing over and over again. And folk does neither of that, so it just falls into the background and looses my attention (since there’s nothing to pay attention to). This album is not terrible but just boring.
This band certainly took on the 67 summer of love Indian music influences 100%. It has a poetic and dreamlike quality to it. There is a certain pastoral Englishness that makes for a unique sound. I really enjoyed this album and the Cellular Song is a masterpiece.
Like a hippie tavern band
Hmm. More UK folk. Just not my thing. I appreciate the melding of forms and traditions and tend to favour the Williamson songs (Waltz of the New Moon pops), but a great deal of this is like having a joke explained to you. That I found the history of SoTec’s creation and their mixing board manufacturing a more interesting history kinda says it all for me and the soon to be scientologists.
To a guy like me it's just a regular string band
It's upsetting to know that Woodstock festival goers we're subjected to a 20 minute set from this group.
Genuinely a terrible experience for my ears. I couldn't wait for this album to be over. It sounded like a bunch of people were handed instruments they've played for 1 hour and were told to make an album.
Seemed like some Monty Python scenes. ———————————— My non-musician scoring system. 5 - Love it. Would play anytime, buy, see live… 4 - Good music. 3 - Average playlist. Depends on time and setting. 2 - I can’t listen to whole songs. 1 - No.
"The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" is the third album by Scottish psychedelic folk group the Incredible String Band. Acid folk is the Wiki-listed genre. The key word there is acid. The album uses a wide array of exotic instruments, utilizes multi-tracking and overdubbing and continues the band's development into the elements of psychedelic folk. The bandmembers included Robin Williamson ( lead vocals, guitar, gimbi, penny whistle, pan pie, oud, mandolin, Jew's harp, water harp, harmonica), Mike Heron (lead vocals, sitar, Hammond organ, guitar, hammered dulcimer, harpsichord), Doug Collins (flute organ, piano), David Snell (harp), Licorice McKechnie (vocals, finger cymballs), Richard Thompson (vocals) and Judy Dyble (vocals). Commercially, the album amazingly reached #5 in the UK and #161 in the US. Robin Williams' clear voice and an acoustic guitar begin "Koeeoaddi There." In comes a sitar and the pong-y noise of a Jew's harp. He's singing about gardens, trees and skating on ice. Are we in a commune? Oh boy, we're in the midst of a psychedelic ride now. "The Minotaur's Song" tells a story from the point of view of a minotaur. It's a faster song. Lots of backing vocals. It makes sense now that minotaurs have Scottish accents given Shrek and all. Mike Heron takes lead vocals on the 13-minute long and heart of the album "A Very Cellular Song." Multipe parts with a wide variety of instruments including the harpsichord, kazoo and Jew's harp (again). The first part is about a family who keeps repeating good night. There's a part about the life of an amoeba and the song finishes with an Irish blessing. I didn't see that Irish blessing coming. "Mercy I Cry City" might be the most straight-forward "folksie" song on the album. Acoustic instruments, the harmonica and extensive use of the penny whistle. I was thinking a waltz would be good now and what do you know on comes "Waltz of thr New Moon." Layered acoustic instruments including a harp. This song could have fit in nicely in "Led Zeppelin III." The words psychedelic and acid do not do justice to how "out there" this album is. I was getting medical treatment and somewhat under the influence while listening to this; therefore, I thoroughly enjoyed this album. The lyrics are psychedelic, dreamy and fantastical including mentions of communes, a minotaur, witch hats, a fire king, a whole moon and mitosis of amoebas. I'm not sure this album works anytime but in the late 1960's. How did this album reach #5 in the UK? It is interesting listening to, if just for all the instruments used. Instead of demanding more cowbell like the SNL skit, I think producer Joe Boyd was yelling more penny whistle. That thing's all over the place. Robert Plant said this album was a big influence; I could also see Jim Morrison being influenced. It you're in the mood for a wild and trippy ride, look no further.
Bad. Sounds like hippies at the rental Faire in 1968, because it probably was
wait i was really surprised at the global reviews for this nice, peaceful listen i didn't care it was a little weird!
It's not as bad as a metal album, but it's fucking close. This is some annoying, wack ass shit. Take that sitar and go back into the woods, man.
This is not a single day listening challenge album, or something to casually put on in the background! That "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" appears on the 1001 Essential Albums further indicates that this reference tome is compiled by British critics because the rest of the sonic world would firmly situate it on the 50-100 strangest albums ever made with Os Mutantes, Alexander "Skip" Spence and other hip oddities intended for the smuggest of bargain bin scavengers and psychedelic damaged exotica collectors. In the late 1960s "acid" was being inserted in front of existing genres creating louder and more claustrophobic sounding musical classifications of existing idioms. The Incredible String Band would definitely be considered acid folk, and the Hangman's Beautiful Daughter meanders through fractured variations on traditional English folk music and instrumentation with lysergic Dr. Suess/Lewis Carroll rhyming lyrics that are almost spectacularly bereft of conventional melodies, pastoral instruments enter and exit a composition jarringly, a sitar plays on "Koeeoaddi There." I kind of love the intense creativity, but don't know that I can sit through an entire album... The irony being that I owned a CD copy of this album while living in Seattle and never listened to the entire record....still haven't.
Yuck! Far from incredible! I persevered through it but couldn’t wait for the album to end. Might have sounded better in the 60-70s if you were on drugs??!
mierdón.
I hate this
Psychedelic Folk from the late 1960s. I suspect that drugs were involved taken during the production of this album - and you probably need to be under the influence of something when you listen to this album. More Psychedelic Dirge than Folk.
Album 791 of 1089 The Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (1968) Rating : 3.5 / 5 Want something different? Craving some Scottish psychedelic folk? This is the one. Can't really fit into any category. Some exotic instruments such as sitar, gimbri, shenai, oud, harpsichord, panpipes, and kazoo. Themes of life, mythology, and esotericism and love.
I was kind of looking forward to this, looks weird. But unfortunately it wasn’t interesting/cool weird it was just … uncomfortable weird. • sitar • harmonica • harpsichord • recorder • tin whistle • kazoo • possibly box with rubber bands (?) • hurdy gurdy (?) • rambling lyrics that are possibly being made up on the spot • bad singing Normally some of these CAN be acceptable in a recording (with the exception of the kazoo), but all at once? Intolerable. The fact that this made it onto any best of all time list is puzzling to say the least.
Elfos e duendes planejam cruzar o hippie trail enquanto colhem cogumelos selvagens. Folk psicodélico é a definição musical de bicho-grilo. Esse álbum estar entre os primeiros do projeto é indubitavelmente uma homenagem a mim.
A lesser The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
I’m not sure the strings I heard would classify as incredible.
No good
I don't have the words to describe this shit.
Oké, zelf zou ik nooit keltische hippiemuziek opleggen, maar ik ben hier om mijn horizon te verbreden. Op zich klinkt het niet slecht. Bij elk nummer dacht ik: "Oké, cool, weer een nieuw instrument". Bij het eerste nummer was dat dan een sitar, bij het tweede een klavecimbel, dan weer een orgel etc... Dat maakte het wat interessanter, want mijn moed zakte al in mijn schoenen toen ik een sitar hoorde. Op zich niks tegen dat instrument, maar na één nummer heb je het ook wel gehad. Al bij al dus geen slecht album, al is het maar om één keer te beluisteren. 2.8
Todella hippimäistä menoa. Intian hippimäistä, ei tätä modernia hippimäisyyttä jota ei katsele pirukaan. Jousia, puhaltimia ja muita hippimäisiä soittimia.
My god, this is what they play at those religious indoctrination camps in the south isn’t it. Unique but get this out of my ears.
One of the weirdest albums I’ve ever heard. It’s like a Monty python skit about how pretentious folk music is. To each their own.
I started off with 'oh no, not another hippiefest' but it actually grew on me in the second half with more of the world instrumentation. Of its time, no doubt, but certainly an influence. High 2s.
Хорошая музыка, более классическая, но интересная
Curious and interesting. The lead vocalist was annoying, though, esp. when he tried to sing below his range.
Awful nonsense
I have some familiarity with this band. It was psychedelic sample fodder for me when I was younger. I owned a beat up copy of Wee Tam at one point. The palette is drone-y strings and background vocals, hand drums and off-key flutes and it is pretty consistent throughout. Vocals are a little dramatice and over the top. The moments I liked are the end of A Very Cellular Song, and Three Is a Green Crown. The song I I recognized and listen to the most is Mercy I Cry City, which I connect to things like Love, Tim Buckley, and Animal Collective in my mind. I think I prefer the Mike Heron songs. Closer to a 3.5.
What a trip!
Eclectic, psychedelic folk music using a variety of weird instruments. On paper, this should be right up my alley. In reality, I don't think I'm quite high enough to fully appreciate this album. Overall, there were some good moments on it, but it was just a bit too out there and I don't think I'll be seeking this one out again. Favourite track: Nightfall As an aside, Rain by Dando Shaft started auto playing after this album finished. I had never heard of them before, but I'm checking out their debut album, An Evening with Dando Shaft, and it absolutely deserves to be on this list. This is the psychedelic folk music I signed up for! I'd give it a 5/5 so far.
I'm not averse to late 60s psychedelic folk and rock. Pentangle were incredible, Fairport Convention were cool. But this is dreadful! There's a religious element to some of the lyrics which turns me off, and the rest are nonsense, I suspect magic mushrooms were consumed!🍄
These guys swear that fairies are real, but that you have to take their special mushrooms to see them 🍄 Definitely think some people misinterpreted doing drugs as being artistic in this era of rock.
The biggest compliment I can give this album is that it came from the same era as the Beatles, who produced some groundbreaking psychedelic music. This is not it. Really quite terrible. Few redeeming qualities besides being amusingly whimsical, and credit for experimenting with lots of different instruments and sounds - even if most of them don’t work in the slightest. Albert Hoffman should be named in the credits.
I doubt there is enough weed in the land to make this enjoyable for me. But it's not the worst on here by a long way. 1.5.
Jeg prøver at være positiv overfor de mere avantgarde albums, for jeg ved godt de ofte er indflydelsesrige selvom jeg måske ikke altid elsker lyden, men jeg kæmpede virkelig med den her. God produktion? Måske? Stadig en 1’er
Som fremtidig englænder vil jeg lige sige at det her sgu er en tand FOR engelsk. Kan ikke regne ud om det er seriøst eller for sjov, men synes ikke det lød godt.
This was a really hard listen for me. The flutes didn't sound very nice and the songs just didn't catch my attention.
This sounds like a parody of late 60s music. If it's not, then it's the greatest argument for a renewed criminalization of drugs.
This is some extremely hippy stuff right here. Like, if you took a bunch of drugs and wrote down some nonsense, you could probably write this album. But here's my take after a listen: I didn't love it. My first issue is that the singing is not particularly great and got on my nerves after a couple songs. The attempts at chanting and droning were almost physically painful at times. The lyrics are all nonsensical and I don't think it's worth trying to interpret anything for any deeper meaning other than "I saw this in a drug induced haze and wrote it down." It's like, about nature and life and religion, man. Guitars, sitars, organs, and sounds effects abound, it for sure sounds like the 60s, but in the worst way. The guitar is generally fine enough, but a lot of this album sounds very amateurish. I dont really have any standout songs on this album. If I had to pick something, the opening part of "A Very Cellular Song" was okay - they should have ended it there. "Nightfall" was ok too. I didn't think I'd have such a strong reaction to this album but it's left me almost irrationally angry. There's just too much hippy bullshit and forced symbolism in every single song that i didnt enjoy it. I can't in good faith give this any more that 1 star & would actively avoid in the future.
I could have lived my life without listening to this album
It's absolutely dreadful, but also kind of funny with it. They at least seem self-aware. If this were more earnest then it'd be intolerable. 1.5 rounded up.
My high school music teacher said anyone can sing as long as they stay in pitch. This guy can’t sing, it’s unbearable. I was like a dog covering its ears with his paws. The music itself was decent, but that voice! Pick a note and stick with it. Like a dog covering his ears
This album gets a lot of hate, and I admit it's not for everyone. But there's an earnestness to all of the ISB's music that I find compelling. It's definitely weird, but if it weren't, there's no way we'd still be listening to it 50 years later.
Шаманская какая-то движуха, но не Я РУССКИЙ
This one I have to review focused on A Very Cellular Song. This feels like maybe the world ended and you're a traveler. You come upon an old castle that probably meant something but now is inhabitanted by a strange group that have clearly lost their mind. They tell you how fortunate you are because today the boy king is unveiling his musical masterpiece. An epic of song and string the likes the world has ever known. Then they ramble on into madness and there's also a song about a minotaur where they're really excited that they keep finding words with bull in it. Not bad to listen to. It's like The Beatles and Moody Blues were brothers and they also had a third brother who didn't really do anything the other two hadn't done better.
So much jaw harp. Sounds like a disorganized family closet. Like some hippy wizards are trying to cast a low consequence spell on me. A spell to make me eat at least a spoon full of granola every year. Or a spell compelling me to wear patchwork clothes from this day forward, but not strongly.
Interesting!
Man white guys looooved their sitars in the 60s huh?
Oli loitsua ja noitaa ja salaisuuksia ja keskiaikaa. Hyvä larppi. Jäispä joku melodia mieleenkin.
Saa hymyn hyytymään. Myönnän että pariin otteeseen.
miksi emme yhtä suosittuja kuin beatles? kysyy incredible string band... teimme uskomaton exprerinmental pysychedelidc musiikkia ja miten emme ole KAKSI kertaa suositumpia kuin blearles?? biden emme odle hyhd räiggaita guin bleabkesls? mutta mekiin teimme ekxperimentality yhyyyyy yhyyyyyyyy yhyyyyyyy... ei ihme että pehmein generaatio.. soft... osattu mitäään tehdä ilman vinkumisia. oooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaooooooooo tulee vaan suusta kun pienin mahdollinen ongelma ooooo aooooooao ooooooao witches hat
It is actually incredible that this people are a string band.
Music for 19th century Scottish peat farmers to take acid to. Add a half-star, as ISB was allegedly an influence on the early works of Led Zeppelin. Remove that half-star for their influence on Mumford and Sons.
I wouldn't say that I liked this, but I'm happy it exists. They sound like they were having so much fun making it. It reminds me of sitting in friend's basements and jamming on acoustic guitars. Just making up lyrics as we went, often veering into fairy tales and monsters. What we created is mostly unlistenable but it was so fun!
Where in the heck did you find this???
this shi so ahh sounds like they incorporated south asian instrumentals and vocals (or as they say, “oriental”) not my cup of tea
I ironically love this. I already know of The Incredible String Band, and can never tell if it's intentionally or accidentally hilarious. It's so bad it's good, especially when the kazoo comes out. I haven't taken shrooms or acid for years, and this reminds me why.
Simply terrible.
I have so many questions. Like, is this meant to be taken seriously or are they trying to be funny? Music is not supposed to make you angry. This does.
Dad- 2 Mom- 3.5 Mike- 3 Lori- 3 Michael- 3.5 Miles- 2 Cole- 6 Avg- 3.29
Reminded me of Fairport Convention that I had today. Also just gave me Wicker Man vibes. Weird mix (given 60s) with lyrics in left speaker only.
Good, but not my thing
Yikes! I want whatever they were smoking when this was recorded.
À la première écoute, je trouvais que ça se fondait quand même dans la masse des albums «folk psychédélique» des années 1960. Mais l'imaginaire influencé par la mythologie et le mariage des influences celtiques et orientales créent quand même des ambiances intrigantes, même si parfois irritantes.
pass
Yeah too weird
Some of the people on this album knew how to play their instruments and had rehearsed. But not all of them.
This felt kind of rambling and meandering to me. Psychedelic folk seems like something I'd be into, but this one didn't work well for me.
1001 Albums for that annoying hippie couple from art school that’s always doing acid Horrid! At one point I was sick of a song, looked down to see how close it was to being done, only to find it had over TEN MORE MINUTES TO GO, and I audibly said “Oh my GAWD” bc I simply could not believe the gall they had to do that.
In a nutshell: medieval fair vibes. As soon as I heard the jaw harp I knew this would be a difficult listen. And it was. I think this is in the book due to the high profile artists it influenced, such as Robert Plant. Not much else. Overall: 2/10
3.6 - I liked at start but started to drag a little in terms of its usp
Kinda just folksy nonsense. Sounds like people tripping on acid and just strumming chords randomly. Pleasant sound pallette, limited substance. 2.4/5
An okay album, I only really liked The Minotaur's Song.
Skyrim soundtrack unlocked
This album is ok - I am glad I listened to it again 3/5 #musicsky #albumsky
I did find merit in the mixture of genres including Indian, folk, psychedlic, Baroque, and medieval(?) music, but overall, I didn’t really enjoy the listening experience. I kind of just tumbled through it. It felt like a combination between early Pink Floyd music with the electric guitars removed and the lofi production of Smiley Smile. Very odd album, and definitely made that way. Just felt like a novel oddity of the times.
More infuriating olde-worlde psych-folk, eh? I've been meaning to listen to this album for ages, as I hear people rave about it. But it's the same kind of formula. Overwrought warbling vocals. "LOL so random" surrealist lyrics ("I wish for a fish on a dish"). Grating first-draft pseudo-folk twiddling. This record has a bit of a lo-fi experimental feel to the instrumentation, which I don't mind. But it seems like much of the experimentation is picking up some exotic instruments and seeing what kinds of grating sounds they make. There are some moments of enjoyable melody and song across the album (normally when they get closer to regular folk style), but these are few and far between. 1* unlistenable.
Hippie wank.
Mystical, whimsical ass album
I feel like I was forced to take acid via my ears. Trippy. There is a video of Leonard Nimoy singing a song about Bilbo Baggins of The Hobbit fame. Look it up. I’m pretty sure these cult members produced that for Spock. HARD pass.
Weird, trippy and authentically psychedelic. Also, not very good (vocals are particularly suspect) and it seems impossible that this could ever have been a hit, but maybe that's 1968 for you. The lesson seems to be that, If you're going to give your band such a name, really you should make better records.
Woof. I did not like this at all.
This felt like a form of punishment. Went to Wikipedia and "Scottish psychedlic folk" felt like a threat. I want to fight everyone on this album cover, including the small children and the dog.
Who paid for this. Lol. I bet they all have rich parents. Incredible!
Nah. Too slow and plucky.
I fucking hate Renaissance Fairs. 2.5/5
If you'd like to hear how copious amounts of drug abuse, out of tune instruments, and kazoos all sound like together, this album is for you! These idiots couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. As soon as I saw they were Scottish, I knew I was in for a treat. This is absolutely horrendous. Favorite songs: The Minotaur's Song Least favorite songs: A Very Cellular Song, Witches Hat, Swift as the Wind, Mercy I Cry City, Three Is a Green Crown, Nightfall.....and the rest of this dumpster fire..... 1/5
A hundred monkeys with a hundred instruments worked for about 5 minutes on this.
J'avais beaucoup d'appréhension concernant cet album, vu les commentaires meurtriers et sa neuvième position dans les pires albums notés de la liste. J'ai donc été surpris par les premières tounes, qui sont pas SI pire que ça, c'est juste du folk rough sur les bords avec un chanteur très approximatif. Rendu à la quatrième chanson, je me suis rendu compte que mon énergie vitale et mon attitude positiviste initiale commençaient à s'effriter de manière exponentiel. Puis les kazzos sont embarqués à la cinquième track, et le chanteur est devenu d'un coup beaucoup plus insupportable. À la sixième, le violon gay est embarqué, pis tout les instrument sont partie dans une immense dissonance VRAIMENT gossante, garder les paupières ouvertes était devenu un défi. À la septième, messieurs les flutios de Sainte-Agate sont apparus et le chanteur s'est OSMOSIS en quatre clone qui chante zéro en harmonie. Faque jme suis tanné pis j'vais été voir où ont était dans l'album: CRISSE DEPUIS TANTÔT ONT EST SUR LA TRACK 4, ÇA FAIT 13 MINUTES TABARNAK. À ce moment là, je me suis heureusement évanoui, m'échappant de ce supplice auditif
You’re in a cult, call your dad.
my head says no, but my heart says YES!!!! i’m not gonna lie this is not what i’d normally get down to at all, but i really liked it (against my better judgement). the “exotic” instrumentation (thanks wikipedia) was so funky and nontraditional that i couldn’t help but giggle to myself. also, i’m pretty sure this album told a story (not 100% but it felt like it did so i also like that). thank you psychedelic folk. 4/5.
Delicious audio engineering. Too bad the music just isn't for me.
2/5, only because I've heard worse. They'll really let anybody put out an album, won't they?
Not really my thing style wise. I did enjoy the playing though.
normally, i really enjoy music from this time period. the late 60s were a great period of experimentation, especially musically, and i love a lot of the general output from then. this is an album i've always heard of but never got around to listen to until now. and i can safely say, this is not really my thing. it's kind of interesting but really rough to listen to at points. it's a bit "experimental" in the sense that it feels very free form. a lot of the songs only have a handful of instruments and a vocal. it is interesting, but i don't know if it's one i really care to listen to again.
Well holy fuck, it’s my 1001st album. It’s seems fitting that I’d get one of the lowest rated albums on the site for this milestone. (I say milestone because I’m still about 90 records from completing the list, since the generator accounts for all albums added/removed across the various editions of the book). It’s fitting because I often find that the overreaction by users on the site to albums like this one doesn’t match the actual quality of music. Every time I get a record like this, I’m one step closer to choosing a Merzbow album for my user submitted record. I suspect that some of you are the same people that got unreasonably upset that the theme of White Lotus Season 3 didn’t contain the same vocal stylings that were in the themes for the first two seasons. If only my life was that simple that I could have time to be upset about something like that. The Hangman’s Daughter is weird and dated and dorky, but it’s not unlistenable. I guess if I wanted to hear a record that was an affirmation of my tastes, I would be very upset about having this record generated. I mean, I don’t really love its medieval folk/hobbit rock/eastern psych stylings, but there is clearly ambition and originality here and I’ll take something ambitious over the hundreds of by-the-numbers Beatles-aping records that the list is fond of.
no jaw harps on my playlists, sry
listening to this album felt like stepping into an alternate universe where i got perma-fried by a bad trip and could only listen to gentrified sitar music for the rest of my life
A Very Cellular Song is worth a listen. The rest of the album wasn’t that great, even occasionally obnoxious, like it needed to get over itself.
Lite halvhemligt album men den får godkänt trots allt.
This wannabe Tolkien shit is one of the major food groups of British 60s rock and good gravy it’s terrible
è tipo ironico? non mi piace.
These posers can take a hike
So bad it's good. I think The Minotaur's Song is the inspiration for Monty Pythons Lumberjack Song.
Very mellow
One hell of an opener song. Love the tempo and texture changes. Though I hate the "boing oing" sounds that are so ubiquitous in this era of psych rock. Sitar is one thing but the boings are just so corny. I also found the Minotaur Song beautifully arranged, but the lyrics and the main vocals are so corny I can't keep from rolling my eyes. The wiki article also doesn't seem to really situate The Incredible String Band in the cultural context, so I don't have a point of reference that isn't "corny 60s psychedelia". They did mention that Led Zeppelin was directly inspired by TISB, which shows up pretty clearly in Zep music (though imo Zep did the sound way better, less corny). Overall, interesting and unique songwriting structure and arrangements that was clearly avant-garde in its time. I feel meh about hearing this before I die though so for that reason giving it a three star.
This is legit, without a doubt, one of the worst albums I have ever listened to. I really hate 60's hippie music, and this is the epitome of it. This sounds like, "We love the Beatles and hate showering, let's make a band and make some of the worst music anyone has ever heard in their entire lives. I don't know why this album was included or why I "had" to hear this before I died, but this sucks. This is really a zero out of five.
Meh
What if Bob Dylan was really into the RenFaire scene? There are a couple of good tracks on here, such as “Three is a Green Crown,” but much of it is just self indulgent noodling.
1. there - 1.5 2. zong - 1 3. uuithez - 1.5 4. cellular - 1.5 5. mercy - 1 6. moon - 1 7. uuater - 2 8. green - 1.5 9. uuind - 1 10. nightfall - 1.5
Just did not connect with this album. The lyrics were too obscure and melodies/harmonies just did not resonate. It was a nice break from the pop albums that consistently show up in this list.
Not a fan
If they didn't sing it would have rated higher for instrumental.
Borderline unlistenable at the beginning - Celtic hippie bullshit
Definitely interesting. Not sure if it's something I would want to listen to in my shuffle though.
There is no way that Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding are not familiar with this album.
I'm not sure how something can be so Christian while also sounding like a pagan ritual that will end up with your sacrifice. But it also sounds interesting and I think the band pushed psych-folk forwards technically. Surely an influence on the Super Furry Animals as well.
Leave this album in the middle ages where it belongs. Leave the peasants some acid, too. Maybe they'll enjoy it.
Another one that is getting killed that really shouldn't be. Is this amazing? No. Is it terrible? No. All of the 1 star reviews must be new to this thing. There are some really, really bad albums. This wasn't one of them. That being said, it's not good, per se. 2.5
Did I hear a kazoo in one of those songs?
Hard to listen to early psych, lord of the rings feel, mouth harps and prancing in the forest 1.5
fiddly dee nonsense, nothing incredible about this. right down there with the worst this list have produced, this shit is bad folk off
Just terrible
This gives me early Pink Floyd vibes and I love early Floyd. A very psyched out and rich instrumented record. I’m amazed!
Just terrible whiny and terrible
What in the Hippie Medieval Fair is goin on here? A Kazoo, a Sitar, and a Digeridoo? I don't know what is happening, I just know I don't like it!
At least it was original
I can’t believe someone with ears let the singers near a microphone.
I do not like this band, I do not like their music, I do not like them
My first impression was not favorable, but by the end I realized this is a crazy good/bad album. It really needs a few more listens to appreciate everything: song structure, lyrics, instruments, vocalization. Very weird, very cool.
Thoughts before listening: I think this is 60s psychedelic hippie folk from England...something like that. Review: Well this is different. Celtic folk mixed with Middle Eastern instruments that create a psychedelic drone. It's not necessarily music that I'd typically listen to, but something is drawing me in here. It creates a calming, almost hypnotic listening experience. I'll give this 4-stars.
2,5
there’s WAY too much psychedelia on this list, and this is middling at best
Serious “medieval bard” vibe from these hippies
hát ez káprázatosan rossz, de azt senki nem mondhatja, hogy unalmas. 😆 annyira nem unalmas, hogy adok neki egy hármast, actually.
#504. What the fuck? 1/5: atrocious
Fine! Just fine. Won't listen again
Hippie garbage
If you like pub songs and swa shanties, you'll like this album
Realistically this is a 1 or 2 star but it was actually an enjoyable enough album to be 3 stars
This is a terrible/brilliant album and I'm really glad I listened to it. I'd love to hear it sung by someone who can hit and hold the right notes though
It’s 3+. Fun listen. Not into it but still worth hearing. Love the renaissance vibe
This wasn't an enjoyable listen.
Man, I just couldn't really find anything redeemable about this album to warrant a 2. I barely finished it, but fervently wanted it to end the entire time. No situation really calls for this type of music, unless you're like some magical swamp creature.
Gave it a go, how much did they pay the A&R man?
Meh
Witches Hat was an unpleasant listen. The cover picture for this album looks like a straight up cult living in a commune. Such a hippy look lol Overall decent album for the nostalgia. There were some good songs.
Now we know what the music would have sounded like if psychedelic drugs were introduced in medieval times.
Not for me
По мнению А: 2/5 По мнению С: 2/5 ИТОГОВАЯ ОЦЕНКА: 2/5 (05.02.2025)
I rarely give a 1. Searching for something to up that score, I usually land on musical ability or lyricism. For the Hangman's beautiful daughter I can't do that. Honestly, I thought some players held their instruments for the first time on this recording. As for lyricism, I can't see the poetry in this. Feels like it's for a 70's-80's children's program. No surprise but I had flashbacks to Pentangle's Basket Of Light which also received a negative score from me.
Het is niet slecht, maar ik voel hem gewoon niet
I really wanted to like this, but I really couldn't.
I should have liked this record but found it mostly tedious. Only highlight: A Very Cellular Song.
This was a rough listen. If you want an experimental 60 album where they just got a sitar, this is for you.
I didn't enjoy this at all. I'm not sure how so many bands I like can cite it as an influence.
It’s awful and I love it. Weirdly good.
Ok
Psychedelic folk, never thought I'd see the day.
You would think the string in their band name would imply they can play stringed instruments…
Nice, too many things
I listened to this while sick with Influenza A. I know the strength of my soul.
Too whimsical? for me. I just don't find it interesting.
Trippy and fun. Very dated, wandering vocals.
Not as bad as I feared from the low rating on this site. I liked the outdated vaudeville of 'The Minotaur's Song'. Also 'Three Is A Green Crown', brooding and strange, good use of sitar. I try to listen to these things a second time before rating them. This time I just skipped around the songs I like. Or in the case of 'A Very Cellular Song', just the first three minutes. I mostly kept coming back to 'Swift As The Wind', maybe the best thing on here, messianic and apocalyptic. 'Hangman's Beautiful Daughter' is weird and excessive and yes probably drugs. I don't see it as a 1 or a 5, and sometimes this stuff just averages out. It's an inconsistent 3, not a forgettable 3.
I totally understand why this is insufferable to some people, but I thought it was innovative and interesting. It didn't make my pretentious detector go off; it felt authentically weird to me. Just a bunch of hippies trying to express something. I love that. Highlights for me: Minotaur's Song, A Very Cellular Song, Mercy I Cry City, Swift As The Wind
too esoteric for me
sarcastic air quotes "incredible"
Acid Folk — a genre that could only come out of the 1960s. I don't mind it though.
Strange with moments of beauty. Will listen again.
2.5
This is what Neutral Milk Hotel sounds like to me
Folk taking full advantage of state of the art recording techniques. Its fun to hear Williamson go wild on different instruments in the arrangements but the whole thing is let down by hippy dippy psych lyrics... like.... its cool and all, and there's some mind-bending stereo tricks and all but you can tell these guys really _believed it_ The album is the best when its restrained. The Very Cellular Song demonstrates this when it changes tack halfway from polyphonic nonsense from the first half of the album to a limited set of voices and some beautiful melancholy harmonies. Unfortunately its 13 minutes long (!) and the first half really says nothing (literally and metaphorically) that hasn't already been said in the first 15 minutes of the album. Three is a Green Crown is the highlight and almost elevates the album to something great with that kind of pulsating tension that makes Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit such a hit. The exotic instruments are out in full and my face is melting by the seventh minute. Swift is the Wind serves as a lovely coda to the song. Unfortunately most of the rest of the album is tonally at odds with it. Any album of essentially two players and this much instrumentation is a technical achievement, but their virtuosity lacks the discipline and erudition of the Mothers. There's a good single here but you have to wade through a lot of self-indulgence to get to the gem.
Welp, I heard that, so strange
Fascinating aesthetic but I would never put this on to actually listen to it though. I am confident I've tried listening to this before and couldn't get through it. I did this time, and I don't think I ever will again. I thought I liked 70's folk psychedelic, but this being a classic of the genre makes me reconsider. Truly unique sounding though and maybe it's more foundational than enjoyable. (5 known / 6 new)
Psychedelic folk - there's a new term. This sounds like a folk bad took a tonne of acid in the 60s and went to work. Not bad in any sense, but seems quite aimless. Mind you, that might be the point. Not really much to go back for though.
Dreadful. I can't rightly imagine what the label must have thought as they pressed this. When John Peel arrived at the pearly gates, St Peter probably had this second on his list, after all the Yewtree stuff he was involved in.
Ew. Just ew. For whatever reason none of these songs sounded good to me. Just lots of wacky sounds. I can see why this might be musically interesting but sandpaper to my ears.
Meh
Never heard of this band...based upon the reviews I expected the worst album ever...but in fairness, I thougt it wasn't that bad at all...some songs could actually be a Beatles songs with some small rearrangements...decent vocals...sometimes the overload of sitar/other strings were too much for me...but what do you expect of a band calles The Incredible String Band...the name says it all...
Maybe you had to be there? Sounds terribly dated, and I didn’t find much here to my liking. But if the likes of Robert Plant, Paul Mccartney, and the Rolling Stones admire something, then it is surely something wonderful and can’t be all that bad. https://open.substack.com/pub/richcain/p/project-1001-the-hangmans-beautiful?r=4ztyq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
This album is a real weird one. I genuinely don’t know if this is earnestly made psychedelia, or if it is actually a parody of it. A band being called The Incredible String Band is a pretty funny name, but then again The Amazing Bongo Band are a genuine band, so who knows? Anyway, as far as the listening experience is concerned, I don’t think I’m much a fan of this. It was too zany and just left me feeling confused rather than anything else is I’m honest. Fair enough if you like this, but it isn’t my cup of tea.
Scottish folk/psychedelic band. Could be relevant at that time. Howadays irrelevant, i could be, without the doubd, die after listen this. never again. i lost my time.
It's a good thing they didn't tune the instruments, so it matches the vocals. I've never done mushrooms, and if I would want to I kind of guess I'd have to find another part of the woods than where these guys recorded this record, cause it cant be anything left there.
Psychedelic Folk - spannend zu hören. Nichts für jeden Tag und auf Dauer auch etwas anstrengend. 3/5
Weird
Not incredible.
Why isn't zero stars an option?
There are some OK moments in the back half of the album, and no one can say it isn't creative, but not every musical idea needs to be recorded. However, if you enjoy mooing sounds, fire kazoo, and grade-school level recorder, this album is for you.
not an album id want to put on again but i didnt hate it. it had a lot of interesting things going on
Reading the 1-star reviews of this album was life affirming.
One thing I've discovered on this 1001 album project without fail is that if an album has a very low rating, regardless of genre, even if I'm convinced that this time I will also dislike it, I basically always end up liking it. Or at the very least, think it's just fine. Almost every single time. It's kind of hilarious. I actually like this a lot. I don't think it's gonna inspire me to listen to a lot more psychedelic folky shit, but I think it's absolutely great. Weirdo hippie medieval peasant music. This sounds like something some 1970s sex cult run by a schizophrenic would play on repeat through an intercom system. I respect it.
I'm glad it's over
Was hoping for something similar to the incredible bongo band but with strings instead of bongos, I was disappointed
Listened twice, remembered 0 times
Gear: Focalman Cleardara Artwork: 👨👩👧👦🐕🌲 Production: 🎧😐🆗 Music: 😵💫🥴🤢🤮 Rating: 🦨/5
Not for me
how does this have one of the lowest ratings on the site? at worst, this is the kind of quirky, slightly amateurish-sounding music that would be playing from someone's handmade candle tent at the ren faire. i didn't love it and don't see myself reaching for it in the future, but for god's sake, it's nowhere near the worst of the worst! y'all are ridiculous!
look, i was right there with y’all when i heard “more 60s psychedelic folk,” but sorry to the haters, these guys rock. i truly admire their restraint of waiting a whole 30 seconds into the album before breaking out the sitar. kidding! i’m just kidding folks, we have fun here. but seriously, other than that, this was a fun and enjoyable album. definitely a bit rough around the edges, but i was finishing up Trout Mask Replica from this list earlier this morning, so maybe that primed me to think this album was a beautiful, sonorous gift from the gods. i kept waiting for the moment when i’d realize “ohh, so THAT’S why everyone hates this album” but it never came. i will pause to ask what the hell is going on in a very cellular song... who would hide behind your chair and steal your crystallized ginger? that’s messed up, man. despite being 13 minutes long, this was like a prog rock epic so i actually kinda dug it. love the minotaur’s song too. these songs are so fun, how is this album in the bottom 20?? favorites: koeeoaddi there, the minotaur’s song, witches hat, a very cellular song, the water song
Magical mystical fonky weirdness. I am entirely approving and enjoyed it. God it's nice to hear some people try and do something that sounds like nothing else I can pin down. :)
About what I expected. Boring. Not for me. Giving this a three is kind of disrespectful to the other threes out there but it’s not terrible enough for a 2. I need to rethink my rating system.
Very tempting to give this one a perfect grade given the bad rep the ISB have gotten on this app (see also: Robert Wyatt's *Rock Bottom* and Einsturzende Neubaten's *Collapse*)... As stated on the wiki page, each track on *The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter* is closer to a suite than a song, with Celtic folk, rock 'n' roll, gospel, plainsong harmonies, near qawali moments, and North African, Indian and Bahamian sonics meshing together to form a rather perfect union -- obviously ripe with patchouli scent, but still retaining its sheer originality to this day. The near qawali moments are especially striking here. And centerpiece "A Very Cellular Song" -- which includes an ode to mitosis, sung from the point of view of an amoeba (!!!) -- is a whole trip in itself, worth the price admission on its own. And the last part of this composition, which saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Page take notes, is an epic affair. You just need to hear that chant "May the Long Time Sun Shine" once, and then your shakras open as if by magic. At least if you're attuned to music that takes a risk and tries to go places... The only very minor issue I see in this record is that it is missing a more straightforward cut such as *The Hedgehog's Song* (from the preceding album). Believe it or not, The Incredible String Band were good at that, too. But I guess that's a story for another time, kiddies.... In the *meantime*, I gotta grade this LP, and I think I'm gonna grade it to something I can round up to a perfect 5. *The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter* is OF its time, sure. But it also feels timeless to me. 4.5/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums 9.5/10 for more general purposes (5 + 4.5) Number of albums left to review: around a hundred, as I've gone over the 1000 line and this generator is including albums from all editions of the book Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 445 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 267 Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 323
Bad hippie music
Okay now, there's no reason why this album is rated so low on this site! Yes, it's shite at times. And yes it meanders a lot and really relies on the sitar as a gimmick. But it's still pretty cool, you know? And I guess without this, then Led Zeppelin would have nothing to electrify on their debut.
Music budget < acid budget I really don’t understand how this is so poorly rated on here? Highly imaginative and interesting - but also too long.
Saved Prior: :| Off Rip: :| Cutting Edge: :| Overall Notes: Much closer to IBS than ISB. I guess it is incredible to tune a string instrument so horrendously that it sounds like a bagpipe
Spot-on album title in terms of piper vibes—and incredibly average strings. Cut it off in the middle of track 3.
There’s kazoo in this. I can’t take it seriously lol. Also it’s awful.
This one is wild. I have a thing for psychedelic rock and this one ticks a lot of boxes. Just for the sake of being weird. I'm here for this.
This.was.bad.Really.bad.
Better than i expected.
what the hell. this can't be real
Fav: Waltz Of The New Moon Least Fav: The Water Song This is nowhere near as bad as some are suggesting
How the hell is this one of the lowest rated albums on the site?! Peaceful and eerie at the same time. Paints a truly idyllic picture of the hills of Scotland, and the picture is of someplace I’d love to visit.
Funky, interesting, not sure I’ll listen to it again
Moments of beauty crossed with Monthy Python esq moments of cod medieval silliness. Fav track A Very Cellular Song
PEAK
Is this the soundtrack to complete insanity?
The 60s were wild.
Best Song: A Very Cellular Song. If you're going to go hippie-experimental, at least go whole hog like this track. Worst Song: Witches' Hat. Ahh, I see we've dipped in the subgenre of psychedelia that can be best described as "being annoying, but musically". Overall: This would be an excellent album to listen to with a group of like-minded individuals, having just smoked any- and everything that grows in a square kilometer around us as we wait for the aliens to land. Your tummy starts to hurt but the Grand Poobah insists he sees something in the stars.
This was fine I guess! I won’t listen to it again but I wasn’t mad about it.
uma merda
I didn't know Monty Python made a folk album
I now know what being subjected to torture feels like
It’s a bit too preachy for me!
I dont know what they were babbling about all album long with the same music, but Im hopefull they were able to figure out how to train their dragon.
It is a 2 with mercy. The album has no arch. Three is a Green Crown saving this album from be a miserable earshit.
Read a bunch of reviews first. Either 5 stars or 1. Here I go…3 to me. Listenable but not newsworthy.
Heady hippie music with lots of singing in unison and sitars, flutes, etc.. Early psych but not very good. Vocals bring the record down. 3.75/10 (1.875/5)
Ummm. I guess I'm not very open minded after all.
If you’ve ever wondered what a fever dream in a Hobbit village might sound like, this album is pretty close. The Incredible String Band leaned fully into psychedelia here, and it’s oddly charming in that medieval-folk-on-acid sort of way. Psychedelic music was easily one of the best by-products of the 60s, and it’s hard not to credit a lot of that to mind-altering substances. This isn’t a casual background album, but if you’re in the mood for something strange and beautifully layered, it’s worth the ride.
Irish psychedelic. Weird vibe.
2.5
I try to be more lenient with older albums but this was just insufferable
There’s no words. Unimaginably bad.
What on earth is going on here, then?
There previous album is way better at incorporating Folk with Psychedelic sounds. However this does have some good sounds (maybe though it doesn’t translate into songs) it’s experimental and definitely another you’d have to be in a mood to listen too. This is a light 3/5. Definitely think people should check this band out.
Good addition
I enjoyed it 3.5
Tudo tem limite. O movimento produziu coisas incríveis. Essa definitivamente não foi uma delas!
wtf did I just listen to okay, that was pretty weird and totally goofy in places, but you know, I can’t say I hated it The wackiness became strangely endearing. I listened while taking a walk on my lunch break, and found myself grinning out of bafflement - I just can’t penalize it too harshly for that (though I don’t know how to begin rating it) Favorite track: Three Is A Green Crown 3* not for being boring, but a truly mixed bag. Honestly, I may round it up to 4
What the hell did I just listen to?
No, just no. Too weird
weird sound with sitar and flutes. Not bad, just an odd combo. Probably won't listen again.
