Vanishing Point

There were a couple of interesting tracks but it just felt like wierd-ass background music. Not much of interest here.

The (very) poor man's "Velvet Underground and Nico"

Background noise, but inoffensive.

The space-rock thing Primal Scream's going for isn't terrible, but it's very undercooked. Also, it's one of the few renditions of "90s space-rock" I've heard - and there's a reason there aren't many albums in this category. Without the low-production, experimental, semi-psychedelic charm of the 60s and 70s, there's just something lacking. Most notably, the melodies sound incredibly low-effort, as do the vocals. There's nothing in the form of catchy melodies, interesting (vocal) rhythm, emotion, drama, or really anything to hone in on in terms of singing. Instrumentally, my criticism is similar, but I'll give Primal Scream some leeway here because the mood set by the slow synths and light drumming is pretty nifty. Something else that disappointed me was that all the best tracks on the album - the run of tracks including Jesus, Know Your Rights, 96 Tears, and Rebel Dub - aren't even on the album. They're only included in the expanded edition. The exciting hard-rock guitars and high energy in some of those tracks boosted the album to a 3, until I checked and realised they weren't actually there! (Must've been my imagination.) 2/5 Key tracks: Star, Medication, Long Life

They have 2 albums on the list. This is the newer of the two. It’s more consistent. The music got better. The singing got worse. Really bad at times. Favorite song: kowalski

Some of the dub songs were chill and nice, but a lot the other songs were just terrible noise.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this singer thinks he's really, really cool.

+1 for the instrumental tracks

Not vibing with it Also if you’re gonna name your band primal scream, there needs to be some screaming

Kinda boring? They had a big album about 5-7 years before this...I assume that's on this list somewhere. Otherwise, I don't get it.

Never understood the love for this project. To me this sounds like Neo Psychedelia with annoying trip hop influences.

Better than Screamadelica, in my opinion. Still not very good.

Nice bass lines, boring everything else.

with a name like Primal Scream I kind of expected a little more out of this band

Gennem de første sange tænkte jeg “den eneste forskel på det her og så Yes og ZZ top er at med Primal Scream har jeg da et håb for at der kommer noget ordentligt musik. På samg nummer 6 og 7 begyndte det håb så småt at forsvinde. Men så kom der lige pludselig noget helt andet. Medication var en okay rocksang, om end ikke nyskabende. Og på de næste sange blev jeg mere og mere positivt overrasket. Særligt Trainspotting er super fedt. Den gode stemning sluttede dog med Rebel Dub, men kom tilbage på lukkeren. 1 ⭐️ for sang 1-7 + Rebel Dub 4⭐️ for sang 8-14 + How does it feel…

More bad than good but still some good ideas on this album. I found myself anticipating the end more than anything unfortunately.

Some cool ideas and interesting sounds. It all just blends together but overall there are waaaaay worse albums on this list. Just listen to “Movin on Up” off Screamadelica and that’s all the Primal Scream you really need

90’er rock, lidt indie, lidt elektronisk, ikke spændende nok

Hmm: "anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak road-movie record" Some songs are very ok, other much too much "anarcho" for me ;-)

This isn't Screamadelica but it's not faqr off. It begins in an almost psychadelic Pink Floyd circa 1967 wqy before merging seamlessly into the thoroughly excellent 'Burning Wheel.' This trance, spaced out style wears out its welcome by the time Kowalaski finishes but 'Star' is a welcome respite and brings enjoyment levels back on track. All in all its too dance orientated for me but certainly interesting. I might paly it again one day.

Pleasant but forgettable.

It was good. Interesting. But nothing special.

Selten spannender oder guter Psychedelic Rock.

Not a fan!

Understand why it's here, just not for me.

From the title of the band I would have thought thrash metal so I was kind of surprised to find it was much chiller. Like if rock did trip-hop... Trip-rock? It's pretty good but some of the songs seem a bit pretentious and experimental but I didn't hate that. Just didn't love it

Completely forgettable and uninteresting.

Soundscape vibe; nothing profound. How did it make it to 1001 albums list?

A mess of ideas and styles - some songs are meant to be a soundtrack to a film, some songs are meant to be some dubby/ambient noise, some songs are indie rock and some are just bland Motorhead covers. Too much speed, too much incoherence. Best Tracks: Kowalski; If They Move, Kill 'Em; Trainspotting

A bit too much noise which I wasn’t particularly fond of

Größtenteils langweilig, stellenweise recht interessant. Ingesamt naja.

I'm getting some Achtung Baby meets Pretty Hate Machine energy. Is that just me? In any case it sounds older than it is. Except for Star, not sure what that is or where it belongs. I remember liking the other album by Primal Scream that the generator gave me, and reviewing that review all the songs reminded me of something/someone else too. Anyway, overall I found this album to be acceptable background music, but I didn't like it as much as Screamadelica and am not 100% sold on Vanishing Point's place on this list. Best song: If They Move Kill 'Em

Wasn’t in the mood

I've only ever heard screamadelica so let's see what this is like... Yeah it's exactly how I thought it would be lol. Boring

A little too chill

The album art had me a bit deceived. I thought this was going to be some driving and distorted guitar heavy music. But I am pleasantly surprised by what this album actually is. Despite my expectations being wrong in a pleasant way, I'm not sure I really actually enjoy this album. It's better than what I was expecting it to be, but there's a lot of misses for me on the album.

This is what the 90s sounded like. I dont love it. Gives me specific visions of 1997

is this a proto-meme?

If this hadn’t immediately followed Public Image Ltd’s Metal Box, I’d probably have given this a 1/5 too.

Didn't care for this one

L'impression d'avoir écouté un total de 15 artistes sur 700 albums

Screamadelica is an awesome album and still gets played in our house, at least once a year, I'd say. I love that album, and I feel like I should know more about Primal Scream than I do. To that end, I've tried getting into Vanishing Point before. When it came up as today's album I thought "oh, yeah, that's a good one!" But then, when I start listening to it, I'm not so sure. Things I like: I love the track "Kowalski". I remember hearing it on late night Radio 1 when it first came out and being blown away. I like the sampling of Miles Davis's "On The Corner" and the early Pink Floyd type riff in the first song. I thought "Star" would be too sappy for me, but I like it. I love "Trainspotting" but then I love the Trainspotting soundtrack album. Things I don't like: The overall "vibe" of the album. It feels like Screamadelica's evil twin. Similarly to that album there's a few rock / pop songs in a sea of psychedelic dance tracks. But this album feels unsettling and dark somehow. That's an admirable quality in music if it's what you're after. But I prefer the blissed out feel of the "good" twin. Another way of putting it: It's just not as good! But I could possibly reduce the album down to 4 or 5 tracks and have an E.P. that I really loved, or half of a great album. In fact, here it is: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4D9jH61ldeGTxQBatmEhRj?si=9782f37d01004adc UPDATE: Mark mentioned "Echo Dek" is a dub remix of this album. Having listened to it, I vastly prefer that. Five stars to Echo Dek!

Huh. Not sure about this one. 2.5/5

Bit all over the place

I remember disliking Screamadelica and also didn't love this overall. The songs that don't sound like a video game soundtrack are fine, but nothing too special. With that said, I feel like some hardcore Primal Scream fan could change my mind, but until I come across that person, I'll keep channeling my inner crotchety old woman. Also, the album cover kinda blows.

4/10

I’m fairly mixed on this one. There are some interesting beats and it wasn’t an unpleasant album, as far as electronic music goes. However, there also weren’t any standout tracks, at least not to me.

Perhaps I listened to close to another Primal Scream album. Perhaps it’s just not that good. We will never know.

Ihan ok yhdistelmä rokki+syna+sämpläysmeininkiä ja hyvä tunnelma, mutta biisit oli vähän liian hitaita ja mitäänsanomattomia että ansaitsisi paremman arvosanan.

Jotain kiinnostavia kappaleita, mutta kokonaisuutena en oikein saanu kiinni levystä. Jotenkin vähän liian irrallista/eteeristä mulle. 2/5

Not super interesting to me

Really quite dull, not representative of them at their best, not even close. Shouldn't be on the list.

It was fine. Not what I expected from "Primal Scream". 2

I can't say I'm a fan of Primal Scream, nor have I listened to much of their work. I love the film, Vanishing Point, this album, not so much. Nothing to get excited about and for the most part forgettable, at least I can't remember what I listened to. Reminds me a bit of U2, if U2 took acid and tried to be experimental. I can't understand why this is essential, but maybe you have to be in the proper mood. Clearly, I wasn't.

Forgettable.

No thanks.

This was put on in the background and really didn't divert my attention from what I was doing. So....meh. 2.5

Over produced

Could be fun. It has one of my favorite samples on it the drums on kowalski, but just dont feel like listening to this. It doesnt sound too good to me sadly.

This album is not good. That is all.

Not really bad, but fails to grab my attention. 2/5

Is this really the same band as Screamadelica? I mean, I wasn't crazy about that album or anything, but I actually liked a decent chunk of that one, where this one other than one more actual rock heavy tune in the middle I could not get into this, and at some point was actively disliking this, like whenever the songer decided to put on that cringey voice changer. THAT got hard to listen to. I could see a band like Radiohead being influenced by the electronics on this album, but I find it much more likely that they found that on their own merits as a good sound, and not on this record. Not bad enough for a one, but it's close.

A rather boring kind of background music

some primal sounds pretty random assortment of sounds not my favorite

Not keen on this one. Seems to lack a lot of anything

From the name alone I dreaded this album and wondered if it’d be another Napalm Death, so I was caught off guard when I didn’t hate what I heard. The album showcases a variety of instrumentals, from the accordion in “Star” to the catchy guitar riff in “Medication.” “Stuka” reminds me of “On The Run” from Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, and “Kowalski” sounds more like one of those prehistoric three-foot-long dragonflies got stuck in the Matrix than a penguin that got stuck in Madagascar. “Get Duffy,” and the album in general, sounds like James Bond on quaaludes. If one were to ask what it sounds like to cross metal with nineties alternative, Primal Scream’s Vanishing Point would be the answer, with a strong focus on the “nineties alternative.” There wasn’t much that stood out to me, but at least it wasn’t death metal.

Living up to their name, this album provided little, combining a genre I can somewhat tolerate (Krautrock) with a genre I tend to find completely unnecessary (90s electronic), this just doesn't bode well and doesn't offer anything appealing

This is like electronic noise rock. Noisetronica if you will. Star was a pretty good song. Stuka was not. The singer reminds me of The Verve. Some of the experimental aspects remind me of Radiohead. Idk about this one. Found myself headbopping a couple times, but spent more time waiting for the album to finish up.

This is the second fifth studio album in a row! They've stepped it up. Just plain weird. Inconsistent. Difficult to get into the groove... hmm, makes me want to listen to Madonna. Why is there only one Madonna in this list?

Nearly a three, liked several of the tracks more than anything from Screamadelica but none of them meshed well to form an actual statement as an LP. Wish there had been more focus on the synths mixed with the pounding drums and lively guitar, this at times almost felt evocative of proto-Black Moth Super Rainbow and I would've been all over that.

Not sure about this. I expected to hate it but when it started off I thought ‘ah nice one’. A bit trippy, bit weird. But after about 3 or 4 songs that are cookie cutters of the previous it gets old very quickly. Sounds like they just ran out of ideas. And some of the lyrics are lazy as fuck. Proper 6th form poet stuff at times. Not for me.

I didn't really enjoy it - genuinely didn't realise it was on. Hesitant between a 1 and a 2, but I can't say I hated it. It just didn't stand out.

This passed me by a bit, thought some of it was ok, but largely didn't really enjoy it. The songs with the robot voice thing annoyed me, but the ones with guitars were better. Medication was probably the best track, actually the last few weren't bad Won't be listening again

I liked the dub sound of Stuka. That is all.

I didn't love the first Primal Scream album I listened to, and I liked this one less. I don't understand why this is on the list, outside of a small pocket of people in the UK, who is listening to this?

2/11, 18%

Weird ambient low energy nothing of an album

Electrónica.

not my cup of tea

i thought this was pretty alright. ambience and atmosphere feels coherent for what its going for but i just wasnt hooked

Meandery, rock I guess?

Very late 90s, very busy, not my thing. A few interesting tracks, some variety I can get behind.

There's some ok stuff sprinkled in here but you almost forget about it amidst the sea of boring noises.

Pass

Meh

"The Lack of Focus: An Experiment" should be the name of this album.

Pretty okay background music

Had a hard time deciding whether this was good experimental stuff, or not. It definiely sounded very 90's for me somehow, and I liked some songs as mood setter background music, but the album never really punch through for me. The only track that really caught my attention was Trainspotting, which I liked, but that's not enough to cover up for the rest. I think this is going to have to be one of those albums that tried valiantly with its quirkiness, and ended up on the wrong side of the line. Still, not by any means so bad that I'd say "there's nothing I enjoy in this, burn it". 2 stars.

Eipä ihmeitä tarjonnut. Tässä haasteessa jo klassinen tilanne eli pari ihan hyvää biisiä ja loput skeidaa.

Sekavan ahdistava. En saanu kii, vaikka välillä oli ihan lupaaviakin biisejä. 2/5

My experience with Primal Scream is limited. I was introduced to the band with XTRMNTR. I love that album and held the band in high regard because of it. I listened to Screamadelica, but wasn't impressed. Then I kind of left it there. I assume there is some merit on this album, but I'm not sure what it is. On a whole I was thoroughly bored throughout this album. I don't quite get my relationship with Primal Scream anymore.

Really hate to rate this one so low as I think Screamadelica is in my top 10 of all time and I actually really like their more bluesy stuff they did in the early 90s and the 2000s. This was just a mess though of no direction. Just layering on sounds and expecting magic would happen in the final product.

What a great band name- I love a good primal scream when I get a chance to regurgitate one. I dig this collage album cover too. I think this time period had a lot of album covers that had these slow-shutter-speed photos of movement in them and it hits both a nostalgia thing for me and also a visually emotional thing for me. Seeing a car with all of that blurry "movement" just gives me a feeling. The auto-pan of some instrument(s) on track one is very annoying. Super slow and gradual, the left to right to left to right is honestly just a nuisance. I'm not listening on headphones and usually panning is even more obvious when listening on headphones and I just feel "bleh" about that idea. The visuals are kind of where my enjoyment of this album stops. The heavy handed panning continues throughout the record, the songs feel kind of uninspired, and nothing really jumps out at me. If I was in a record store and I saw this album cover and the type on it, I would expect something energetic and exciting. I don't really get that here. The second most listened to song, "Star" is a laid back super positive sappy song that just hangs around a chord progression. The first song actually has some interesting elements and tension and release going on, but then they throw you into a weed den on track 2 with a track that is so laid back that the exciting voice is a bass clarinet that does a total of 0 exciting things. Of course this instrument is autopanned too because why not... I read that this was supposed to be like an alternative soundtrack to the movie "Vanishing Point" without any actual input from the movie people- so this is all just an album from this band that they made that is really influenced by the movie. That's interesting, and I can see some of these songs being OK to listen to while driving. I can appreciate the moments that are inspired by the dub genre, like in "Stuka", it has some interesting delayed conga hits along with the typical dub repetitive bassline. But that's kind of it- it's just a band that took some elements from a genre that is different and made some songs in that style. Maybe I'm being a little harsh but I didn't like this. I want to give it a 1/5 because I really didn't enjoy it and I hesitate to say it should definitely be on this list. I've given maybe half of the tracks a re-listen and I think it's fair to give it a 2.

rocklåtarna är ju goa men dom är få. resten är hopplöst

boring fuzzed rock

Meh..... Hahaha it's very okay but I'm definitely not blown away.

A lot more mellow and articulated than "an anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak road-movie record" made it sound. Certainly cinematic but overall a bit underwhelming. Everything from design to description made this sound like a thrash album and it just wasn't

Oh no... There is another Primal Scream record on this generator? Wasn't it torture enough to suffer through Screamadelica.... Apparently not. Why is every Scottish band on this generator bland as fuck? Where is the Celtic music? Where are the bagpipes? Is it too much to ask that you inject some energy into your music? As stated above, here is another album which has no signs of life... Just robotic boops and synthesized electronic garbage. This album generator has taught me that electronica as a whole is an awful genre.... Everything on that spectrum is talentless trash. I feel like Primal Scream was trying to do something that The Prodigy saw, took, and mastered. I don't mind the Prodigy's stuff, because it has a pulse. They put so much energy into what they do, whereas these idiots are dead in the water. Apparently the band loved the movie Vanishing Point, but didn't think the soundtrack did the movie justice, so a few songs on here are dedicated to that movie, and that's how the album got its name. Like the movie, this "album" is awful, and will be forgotten quickly. No redeeming qualities at all. Favourite songs: Medication (a perfectly good rock song. They kept the electronica horse shit out of this song. Why can't the whole album be more like this?), Motorhead (could have been a better song had they kept the electronica garbage and shouting robot sounds out of it) Least favourite songs: Stuka (sounds like it's sung by a robot who loves theramins), Burning Wheel (it takes a minute and a half for anything to happen), Get Duffy, Kowalski, Out of the Void, Long Life 2/5.

At times I felt I was at a loading screen for Animal crossing

Hard to listen to. Too sporadic.

PREFS : Burning Wheel, Kowalski, Motörhead, Trainspotting, Long Life MOINS PREF : Stuka

I thought Primal Scream was a lot harder music. I liked this album fine, but it didn't really hit me. It was kind of background music.

Interesting. Not my thing. 2/5

techno

Not very pleasant to listen to and kind of annoying sound to it all. Not a fan of this music.

Pas tant impressionné, pas particulièrement mauvais, mais les changements constants de genre brise le flux de l'album. Je mettrais 5/10

2.5

Not pure electronic, but yet another 90s electronic album

I did not like this one. I liked a single song. Won’t listen again.

Aika jännä kokonaisuus mutta ei niin jännä, että jaksaisi koko ajan keskittyä. Onneksi pari kertaa yllätetään jollain soittimella tai "genrevaihdoksella".

Psykedeelistä tunnelmointia, josta suuri osa skipattavaa, vaikkakaan ei kaikki.

I like the back half of the album - Medication, Motorhead, Trainspotting, and Long Life do set a vibe while being distinct from one another. However, there are other "vibe" albums that I like more. Another reviewer said this is very reminiscent of a specific time and place and era, and that it doesn't really hold up longterm, and I'd agree with that assessment.

Wtf even is this. It's like Bob Dylan does alternative with reggae influences? I didn't find much to like.

Some songs are really cool but most of them were nothing i enjoyed

Didn’t like

I thought this was going to be aggressive and annoying based on the band name and the cover art. Instead it inspired apathy.

another reviewer described it as “background music” and i feel that

I barely remember a single thing about the other primal scream album and this one appears headed to the same fate. This is a good one to listen to high though. The interesting album drought continues I suppose.

Gross (except for the few songs that sound like The Jesus and Mary Chain).

Do all of the drugs before listening to this. Bit of a strange sound

Na een paar nr's afgezet. Kon er niet heel veel mee.

Ik dacht dat Prima Scream best leuke muziek maakte, maar dit is echt behoorlijk suf. Zelfs bij vlagen vervelend.

Ik heb vandaag een inhaalslag gemaakt met Primal scream, Black Sabbath en Suicide. Het was een moeilijke dag.

Het heeft wel iets elektronisch, maar in het algemene is het mij iets te vage muziek. Sommige nummers zijn goed te luisteren, maar anderen spoel ik liever door.

90s alt rock, some hip hop influence perhaps? psychedelic at times, but in a more modern, urban-sounding way than early psychedelic rock Didn’t mind it but I didn’t care for it I can imagine why someone might think this was cool

Got excited when I saw 1997, but a bit of a letdown. I wasn’t a big fan of the instrumental/experimental parts.

The instrumental parts reminded me of video game background music. I enjoyed some of it, but for the most part the songs didn’t hold my attention very well.

Interesting….

dissapointing

This band is so ludicrously inconsistent. Every so often you'll hear something badass, and then you'll get a really dated-sounding canned drum loop. It meanders from wiffly Britpop to big beat to electropop without any sort of flow to it. This is a band that could have benefited from a much better producer.

It was meh for me, but unobjectionable enough for me to give it a 2.25

Not my bag. Odd good song but can't imagine listening to the album in full again.

one of the easier to listen to albums i've recently been recommended by the list. not saying i like it, but at least it wasn't pushing me away. A lot of it melds together, giving it a soundtrack feels. Overall is a weirder album. No standouts

I'm not inclined to say a band or an artist is "overrated", music obviously being an objective thing, but oh boy am I tempted to say that Primal Scream fits into such a category. I could personally tolerate the inclusion of *Screamadelica* in a list of so-called "mandatory listens, mostly because this particular album has something to say about the time and place it was realeased, with those UK club breakbeats and whatnot. But c'mon, let's be serious here for one second, fellas: even for that "historical" album, the writing is subpar at best, not to say totally lazy. Worse; some "songs' are just glorified instrumentals with a few vocal snippets here and there--and you'd have to take a shitload of MDMA to hear something substantial or even just fun in those tracks, something that's won't be there at all when you use more sober ears. What about this particular album then? Well, just like many other Primal Scream albums it just drones on in the background, a mixed bag with a few hooks here and there, but without any cohesion at all, and with moments of intensity that are too far and between. As usual, the main influence when it comes to the melodic lines come from the Rolling Stones, at least if you pay some attention. But it's a somewhat sanitized version of the Stones, mixed with the current trends of that year. Which amounts to say that in the end, there's not much to be found there in term of substance. At least Jagger, Richards and their pals knew a thing or two about how they could make a song feel "dirty"--in all senses of the word. Whereras in here, it's just a pale imitation, barely veiled by the supposed "high value" of its production shenanigans. The result is just boring to these particular set of ears here. And reading a lot of the other reviews in here, to many other ones as well... Number of records left to review or just listen to: 921 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 42 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 19 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important to me): 19 (including this one)

This is mostly just drum and bass with a bunch of electronic effects over the top. Nothing of any interest. Some nice grooves, but going nowhere. I'd had enough after a couple of minutes, but I persevered for half a dozen tracks, getting more and more bored until the vibe changed with Medication. At first it sounded pretty good, I soon realized it was basically just 'rocks off' with different lyrics, so I'm not impressed.

Don’t hate this, but no standout hits for me. Not sure I’d ever listen to the whole album again.

Feels like a practice run for XTRMNTR. The Vanishing Point movie connection is more exciting in prospect than in reality. Like all Primal Scream records, it's better when Bobby isn't singing.

2/5

“The group does rock with a certain trashy appeal.”

Primal scream have some decent songs. Didn’t put any on this album though. Though star isn’t bad.

Doesn’t know what it wants to be. All over the place, couple of decent tracks but that’s it.

Just not for me. I could see someone who loves the genre liking the album because its solid all the way through. While I didn't hate it, it was a one and done for me.

This album is just so bland and uninteresting. Sounds very late 90s too, if anything. 3/10.

2.5/5 Trippy album, more background music. A bit too experimental for me. Favourite songs: - Star - Medication

Didn’t put me into a calm prism, too busy and not catchy. Not awful, but not a game changer.

Tämä ei oikein napannut. En saanut otetta, että mitä tässä haettiin, kovin oli taiteellisen oloista.

2 1/2

Definitely not something I like. Mostly ambient noise with little differentiation between songs. Could not finish the entire thing because I found it boring.

I was really expecting some excitement based on the name of the band & the album title but this thing sucked.

2.7 - After enjoying Screamdelica, I was expecting to like this but the beats sound dated, the vocals flat and the arrangements excessively noisy.

Similar experience as with the earlier Screamadelica. Annoying vocals, music mostly quite boring. Waste of time for me.

No sabía de Primal Scream... Es de las bandas con el nombre más mentiroso que he escuchado. Es como... pues musiquita electrónica agradable para trabajar de fondo, sin mucho contenido.... Lejos de ser algo que debes escuchar en mi opinión. Disco competente pero totalmente fuera de lugar aquí. Trabajé agradable como si estuviera en un Café de la Condesa.... no más.

Pensé que me iba a gustar porque sí hay algunas rolas de Primal Scream que me gustan, pero de plano no logré acabar la tercera pasada. Sí, a momentos está interesante, pero se siente siempre como un interludio o un montón de sampleo y nunca se llega a una canción con forma. Creo que tienen mejor material y creo que este disco sí sobra en la lista.

not as creamy as I thought its was going to be

First Listen. Not bad. Like to hear more. Not sure yet. Standouts: Kowalski, Star 2/5

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this but I ended up enjoying how chill it is. The first half is better than second half.

I just don’t get it. It didn’t bore me much. That’s the best I can say. Better than Screamadelica.

No screams, let alone primal. I wanted something raw, guttural, from the soul. Instead, it was... I don't know, what was it? One moment it was Brit-pop, the next it was NIN-lite, the next it was trance-y/trip-hop, then it sounded like Radiohead... I'm convinced this album was made by four different bands, not one. The only connecting tissue I found was that I think multiple songs had weird background moaning about "original sin?" There is definitely some decent and listenable stuff in "Vanishing Point," but it is too disjointed and scattered to rate highly as an album. I liked "Trainspotting." But I didn't keep track of which song was which style to comment further, and Primal Scream didn't do enough to move me to go back through it for a re-listen to figure it out.

When I saw Primal Scream, I thought some death metal was coming. Luckily no. However, this album wasn’t much better to me. I didn’t run to turn this off like I would with death metal, but I did listen to a couple minutes and skipped the rest of most tracks. Medication was the one highlight for me.

Kowalski et Medication sauvent l'album , mais ça reste chiant

2/5 nope

better than silence

Would have said 1 star but there was one decent song on this....Transportation or something

not my thing

it came from the nineties. kinda derivative. never got into this when it came out, nor now.

Fine, I guess. But it's unremarkable to my ears.

Mij te experimenteel en teveel noise

I can't foresee a time where I would want to listen to a double album by Primal Scream. For that reason, I'm out.

Never really loved this band.

listened to the album. Was not memorable.

I just don’t understand what I’m supposed to be listening to…

This is the band that made Screamadelica?

Background music in the worst way possible.

Wasn’t feeling this one.

Some Scottish band you’ve never heard of pumping out some bland 90s britpop turds. If you told me this was the soundtrack to some crappy straight to video 90s action movie, I’d believe you. Tits on a fucking mule — completely useless. Fuck off.

Pas mon del

🫪

1/5 I'd be pissed if I had heard the songs medication and star and bought the album, thinking primal scream were a rock band. Motorhead was the only other decent track on this album.

Wow absolutely hated this

this past week i have been given alternative/psychedelic rock and i'm getting a bit bored now :/ backyard science vibes

You’d think after 971 albums I’d be through with crap UK bands. Turns out I need to listen to more before I die.

Just terrible

Shit

I don't like Screamadelica at all, but at least I get that it deserves to be here for its reputation of getting the indie kids to go to raves. With this one, I just don't see the importance? They bring back a bit of psychedelic from their hippy-dippy jangle pop past, but it's all still so boring.

My favorite song was the last one because it meant I was free Playlist add: "Long Life"

saw the cover and was already annoyed. and i would love to say that i stand corrected and that this was a good album but to be honest it was really quiet shit

You will scream, and not the good kind,.

Nah.

no idea why this would be on the list. truly a waste of time

I tried, I really did but I hated this. It drags and it’s so uninteresting that I just turned it off

Listened on a walk. Never liked Primal Scream. They have the same problem as Muse in my mind. The band and their fans constantly talk about how deep and groundbreaking their music is but then you listen to it and it's... this album. Appropriates other genres and does it much much worse than the source and packages it as a whole new thing. Insultingly boring.

album hecho para una road movie, no me fue mucho quizas con la peli pega mas... 1/5

Not great. Complete agony, couldn’t get through it then I realised I had free will. Most exciting part was the album cover and that was pretty shit too. I’m sure if I had gone on to its completion there would be something to give me hope. ‘Out of the Void’ wasn’t terrible, but none of the early tracks enticed me to go further. And isn’t that the point of a good album; the “but wait there’s more”.

Clearly not what I usually listen to. It feels like background music, but even then, it’s not really that good. I can understand why people might like it, but it’s not for me. Medication is the only track I liked.

Boooring.

Yeah this is really not a good album so soft so the same all songs. Not even top 5,000

Primal Scream? More like Primal Snooze. REALLY boring.

Bleh.

I would much rather let out primal screams into the void for 50 minutes than listen to this again

Why is the intro so long, it's way too long. Just sounds boring and like a bunch of random noises. Very trippy. 0/10 stars can't even listen to the whole thing.

I've been getting some duds lately.

too much electro, not enough spirit

Didn't care for it.

It’s meh

Nope

A bad shadow of a genius band. 1/5

Dette gidder jeg ikke.

1.5

1 out of 5. I don't hate this album, but it lacks just about everything for me.

Disconnected noise

I had hopes when the album opened, but they soon faded the deeper I got. The more, umm, adventuresome tracks after a while just get more and more aggravating. In the end, super disappointed.

actively dislike

UK slop

This was hard to get through. A lot of it felt like the background music to a hacker scene in a cheesy action movie.

weird not my vibe. there was one decent song

Noise

Meh.

It is an alright album if you have watched the film "Vanishing Point," which they are heavily referencing. Didn't have any favourites on the album.

At times, this album is trying to be edgy electronica like Fatboy Slim, Crystal Method, or Stabbing Westward, but just doesn't reach that energy or pedigree. At other times, it's trying to be an advanced Oasis clone and never really makes it there either. I'm not sure what the aim here was, but it's completely uneven and difficult to process.

Not really sure how to classify this, but I didn’t like it. Just a bunch of messing around with no real direction.

Back to back Primal Scream albums.

Primal trash.

not for me

This was so long

Occasional moments of interest spaced far apart.

Out of the void…not as good as Sabbath’s Into the Void

Honestly, I has some good moments, but not remarkable.

Not for me.

Listened to this whilst working at the shop this morning and it just faded into the background even on a quiet day with no distractions. Nothing for me.

Wtf NO

Very forgettable

Some context might help me understand why this was on the list, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to look it up.

Could not get through the entire album. "Star" is the only track I could listen to again. 3/10

Meh. No reason at all to be on this list. Prime example of the Brit leanings. ONE STAR

can't find it and listen to it.

Just worse Brian Jonestown Massacre, which I don't particularly like to begin with...

really boring stuff

Although I can hear some possible influences to Radiohead (possibly?), this was bad and I hated it. I wanted this to not be on the whole time it was on, which is actually quite impressive in its own right.

I am not sure what I would even consider this. It's some what of the electronic music of its era, but it's more of an experimental techno pop kind of sound. Produced well, but that'll be a no from me, dawg.

What am I listening to?

I can’t believe people listen to this, and I wish I had never had to.

In general, I like a lot of experimental music, but this feels like a failed experiment.

Meh

Maybe if I was on speed, I would like this.

The only Primal Scream song I knew before starting this project was "Movin' On Up," so I had high hopes when I reviewed Screamadelica. I wound up thinking that Screamadelica was just fine, so I'm heading into this second effort from Primal Scream with a bit more reservations. I don't really know what to expect from this album, but I'm curious to find out what's in store. Well, this is going to be a pretty brief review, because I really didn't care for this album much at all. I thought that only "Star" and "Motörhead" were the only remotely listenable songs on this album, and everything else sounded like bland electronica to me. And calling this album electronica feels a bit like a stretch, because this album didn't really follow any particular style to me. I have no problem with an album branching out and defying the boundaries of categories, but this album felt like the Jack In The Box menu: it was so full of a so many different things, that it didn't do anything particularly well. There were no hooks or melodies or even rhythms that enticed my ears, and I found myself incredibly bored by this album. A week from now, I'll probably forget about this album entirely, and that's truly a blessing. Hopefully The Stone Roses can help me expedite that forgetting.

I don’t have words. Just awful.

First listen

Pretty meh in my opinion. Pretty forgetful.

Whoever made this list has their head so far up their own ass that they cant even see they're a dipshit

I’ve never really been into Brit…pop? Is that what this is? I like Pulp and Blur ok, and those Verve singles are cool, but this just feels overproduced and unsurprising to me. This also feels like author bias, bc this album isn’t even listed by Apple as essential. No thanks.

zzz

Wow, there is definitely a lot going on here, can’t say I like any of it.

Eh, nothing special here. Won’t be back to dig thru their catalog based on this offering.

This is definitely in the "I'll pass" column for me. I heard glimpses of something interesting in a several songs but for the most part it was very bland and non-descript. For a band with such a solid name -- the music is just milquetoast.

If I was in prison and this artist’s music was pumped through some speakers I’d slowly be driven mad and try to gnaw my own arm off so I could beat myself unconscious with it. There is nothing redeemable about this album. This is the second Primal Scream album I’ve gotten and neither has made any sense to me why they’re on this list. The vocals, the music. Awful!! I just don’t get it.

The point did indeed vanish.

What a load of shite.

I fucking hate this. The first track sounded like digital Oasis with better vocals, which is as much as an accomplishment to my ears as a chef describing their food as better than dog shit. And then everything got worse. They completely lost me when they cannibalized that Can beat. I might hate this more than i hate Radiohead

I did not finish either Primal Scream album. They just do not work for me.

Langeweile in Reinkultur!

Don't know the band. Too weird for me.

My God almighty this was dull. Was begging for it to end

I released a primal scream while listening to this.

I was really looking forward to listening to this. What a disappointment! It's bloody awful.

They are called Primal Scream because that is what you are compelled to do when you hear Stuka

I'm about to unleash a primal scream after having to listen to an hour of this crap.

1. burning - 2 2. duffy - 1.5 3. kouualzki - 1.5 4. ztar - 1 5. kill - 1.5 6. void - 1.5 7. ztuka - 1.5 8. medication - 1 9. motor - 1 10. trainzpotting - 1 11. life - 1.5

What an earth is this ?

I tried for about three songs

Sorry, that 0 is not possible

terrible

Also not my vibe no cap

I like dub, ambient, and noise, but this didn't scratch the itch of any of that. Put me to sleep and not in a good way.

Awful

no thanks

only 1 song was bearable (Star). Was a tough listen overall.

Aggressively bad music. Probably the worst album so far. I save 1/5 for offensively bad music. British music as a whole doesn't really work for me and this was a disaster. Utter dogshit. Imagine making this and being satisfied with the final product.

1, and not 0 because i can´t

Second album de ce groupe après 'Screamadelica' que j'avais détesté (1/5). Ce nouvel album n'est pas mieux, j'ai sauté les morceaux pour arriver à Motorhead (au cas ou ...). Un vrai massacre. J'espère qu'il n'y a pas d'autre album de ce groupe dans la liste ... =>1/5

not my stuff.

Not sure what this was all about. Didn't sound much like Primal Scream that I know...

More noise rock. Mixed with experimental electro. Hard pass.

There were a few moments where it wasn't completely terrible, but not enough to save the 1 star.

I would rather eat Vinish washing powder than listen to this again.

Like an 80's version of The Prodigy with Sublime vibes? Fav Track: Get Duffy

Another record that sounds like a piracy ad. It is obnoxious to listen to and mostly just sounds like phoned in tracks.

The fuck is this???

This is real dumb.

This is so annoying, self-indulgent and most of all - definitely not worth being on this list. Really don't want to give it more time.

LOL that was cursed. I blast this band and their boring stale sound and I get hit back with a double down the next day. Sorry, not gonna make me like them any better.

Not for me

proper shit

Apart from the first song, I wasn't into this at all. The first few tracks made for good background music on a train journey, but not great for much else. Just druggy nonsense, not essential listening in any way. Screamadelica is a fantastic album, but I really don't think Primal Scream deserve more than that one on this list.

This album is garbage. A lot of the songs are just noise. If this is in the top 1001 I don’t get it as to why. Star is the saving Grace. Favourite song: Star Least favourite: Kawolski Album artwork: I like the cover more than the album

Stick to what you’re good at lads. Get back to some catchy indie pop/rock. 1.2

The only PS ive heard previously was screamadelica. And i really enjoyed it. So when this popped up i thought, great, this could be a good one. Sadly, i was wrong. What the fuck did i just listen too. Someone was definitely on acid or something when they wrote this. I cant think of any other way you'd enjoy it.

I thought this was lazy drivel.

This shouldn’t be here. Does this mean you’ve got the 5 other better albums on this list? What do you have like some Seether and Taproot records on here too? All the shit Suede albums after Dog Man Star?

I was looking forward to this when it came up but I really hated it. Sounds so of the time in the worst possible way. Moody boring. Could possibly sound good when high on mushrooms but I’m not willing to take that risk.
