Fucking boring

Tämänkin kuvittelin arvostelleeni jo. Sietämätöntä disney sheissea! 1:5

Rufus Wainwright? More like Rufus Wain…not…wright. I don’t know, I don’t write comedy. One star 👎

What is it with the early 2000s and bombastic pomp? It's very tempting to blame Oasis and The Verve, but I'm not sure it can be in this case. Everything is soaring, full of grandiosity - and a bit shit. Vicious World has some truly unpleasant stereo imaging, which is I can only assume the mixing desk equivalent of an extremely drunk bloke at a house party flicking the lights on and off while shouting "Disco!" to a bunch of unenthusiastic and slightly embarrassed teenagers. Every track has that bright ostentatious sound. An old piece of bacon never eaten by Elvis.

Gag. Absolute shit.

As bad as I thought it might be

I hate Rufus Wainwright. Wish I could give it a 0.

Very whiny

Ugh. I know this name, not sure where from, but the music screams "posh twat." I'm not even British, and "posh twat" just popped into my head. The album opener has some lines about how unbelievable today's world is, straight men reading fashion magazines?? Inconceivable. This guy just seems really full of himself. Musically, it's fine, but seems high-brow in a way that just isn't fun or inviting. Not really interested in making new fans. Favorite tracks: Vicious World. Album art: Cover does look really cool, but the picture seems to confirm my feelings. Is that him? With the eyeliner and brooding look? Again, feels very self-important, this one. It's a really cool, elaborate cover though. 1.5/5

I don’t like his voice. The album was whiny and repetitive, not for me 1*

Didn't like this.

wow so same

1/5. This is just an awful Michael Buble wannabe. Not my taste of music at all and really a disservice by Apple Music to categorize this album as “rock.”

I still think Wainwright has one of the most annoying voices in pop music. I just can't stand it. I can't get past the voice to even pretend to determine if there's anything "there" in the rest of the songs. I hope this is the last Wainwright on the list. Is it better than Want Two? Maybe, at least it didn't start with something I wanted to turn off 10 seconds in. This one took about half way though the album before I kept reminding myself that I don't skip songs during this challenge. But man, did I want to.

No sé por qué, pero parece que ya había escuchado este disco. O puede ser que todos los de Rufus me suenan igual.

I certainly don't Want One. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned his annoying voice, it really got under my skin and I had to skip through the songs. Campy, showtunes for the wannabe hipsters

It's bad. Not good. Better than a one but ot by much. I was bored. Glad it's over.

Dreadful divorced mom pop. Sounds like Thom Yorke but less interesting. Club me in the head with a bowling pin. Eughh, gotta wash my ears out with Blood Incantation or something.
