Vanishing Point

How in the god damn did this shit make it on this list.

I was only familiar with Primal Scream through their hit "Rocks". I was not a big fan of this album. To me, it sounds like a band that had way to much studio time on their hands. There were bits and pieces that I liked on here but nothing that interested me enough to listen to this again.

Jazz, rock, little bit of everything. Music is ok.

Bah

I probably judge this against Screamadelica just because I love that album. Maybe a bit unfair but this is way less "songy". Lots of instrumental sections and not many hooks. Some of the record has a real vibe of Lennon on LSD. I found it ok for a bit but the penultimate track is an 8-minute boring instrumental, and I just wanted the album to end at that point.

could i write poetry to this? n

Seems like they had no ideas of their own here. Motorhead, trainspotting, vanishing point. And a Scottish band singing about Rosa Parks, MLK, and Malcolm X- saying every brother is a star... Seems worse than anything Bono could come up with.

nah did not like that one

Not my thing

This is one of those albums where you listen to the first 2 or 3 songs, and you think to yourself "it's certainly not the best thing I've ever heard, but it's decent. Probably gonna give it 3 stars", but by the time you reach the end you get so fed up with how annoying and repetitive it is that you just decide "fuck it, 1 star". What makes this album particularly frustrating is that most of the songs start really promising, whether it's a cool guitar riff, or whatever other interesting sounds. But then it just becomes extremely repetitive and other layers get added throughout the song that are absolutely insufferable. And not to mention the fucking length, I feel like that's been a recurring theme among almost all the albums I've rated 1 or 2 stars, is that they are just so long and that length is only made to feel longer but how much I hated listening to the album.

Fake garbage music

No thanks.

First song was annoying, then kind of alright for a minute. And then the singing started and I had to skip. Second song was pretty okay, but sleepy. Third one is stupid noise. Fourth starts off promising, and then the melodica starts. And the fifth is a lot of squealing noise and random sitar. I’m gonna go ahead and call this one exhausting. They are really trying to be edgy and interesting. Just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Nothing is working. None of this feels authentic, never mind innovative or necessary. It’s just a jumbled mish mash. And, ultimately, a waste of time.

Why are there so many slow, boring electronic albums on this app... Nothing redeemable.

Average at best, annoying at worst.

I liked one thing about this album…. A chorus that repeated “every brother is a star, every sister is a star!” Shout out to brother! (And of course sister!) That’s it.

Proof of the old adage that if you throw enough monkeys at the wall...this lurches from early Floyd to (admittedly not-bad) dub. It's a mess, for sure. The pretentious packaging doesn't stop it being in the main a fairly basic Stones rip-off, polished up somewhat by some special guests of varying stature and ability. I think my patience with self-appointed 'rockstars' of Gillespie's ilk wore out in about 2005, so this was never going to end well.

through no real fault of its own I just…can’t finish listening to this

Just isn't it for me. The experimental sounds with the long instrumentals is never going to be good for me.

What the point, not very good

Shit stinks

I am not sure why anyone needs to listen to this album. Not my thing.

Besides "Trainspotting", this was horrible.

Shit was trash

I straight up dislike this Star MAYBE otherwise this is a hard pass fam

Not as bad as the Dead Kennedys but still awful. Sounded like something the emo kids on Letter Kenney would listen to

This album sounds like what fruitloops taste like.

Definitely not a great album from these guys, there were a couple of ok moments in some of the tracks, but as am album it simply doesn't work.

This album is weird.

This was an awful album. I didn't even enjoy it as background because there were so many jarring/annoying sounds throughout the album. I couldn't even finish the album because it annoyed me so much.

Before listening… I am confident when I say this is the worst cover of any album on this list. Absolutely no way I ever come across a worse one. What the hell. I really dont like the industrial-techno 90s vibe. Didn’t like it back then and it hasn’t aged well. I also don’t like 60s psychedelia, and the 90s version ain’t much better.

Not very good. Very experimental boring music, with no real stand out songs. And the cover of motorhead is awful. I quite like some of their other stuff, but this isn't for me.

Enough Primal Scream! I'm sick of it! This album was not very good. It's like a mix of fairly normal rock songs and then these instrumental/industrial bits that go on too long. What was the band going for here? Trainspotting is 6 minutes too long - like I get it you use more than 4 instruments, cool. This is the first album I seriously considered submitting this review half way through.

I don't get it

Ethereal and a little annoying to listen to tbh

Not for me clive

Misleading band name. I didn't hate this album at first, but it just kept going.

53 minutes of non songs. Cool... Not! This is bad. Another time I've questioned why it's on the list.

Very little I enjoyed on this album. Overall the first half was better than the second half. Songs like "Get Duffy" and "Star" work, but otherwise a difficult album for me to get through.

So BORING. I've heard the name of the band before but nothing beyond that. With a name like Primal Scream I was hoping that this was going to rock my face off. It didn't. It just went on and did nothing to pique my interest qt all. I don't get why this is here. Just awful. It

Sound like an imitation of Smashing Pumpkins.

I just really don't care about Primal Scream whatsoever. For some reason I just cannot seem to enjoy anything I've heard from them, there was nothing offensively bad that I disliked on this album, but even as background music at the gym it was completely boring me and I was just waiting for it to end. 1.5/5

They have a couple of songs, on other albums, that I absolutely love. Because of that I was very excited to listen to this. However, this album just plain sucked.

This kinda sucks. Might be the most 90s album yet. Everything from the 90s somehow sounds more outdated than anything from the 70s or 80s. 1 Even the coverart screams: "You wouldn't download a car" Some songs are listenable. "Motorhead" is pretty good. "Long Life" reminds me of something that could be good

Gets a bit noisy and clangy, without being interesting enough to earn it.

I hated this. It was the most bland, generic rock. The one meagre highlight was “Stuka,” but it’s not going on my highlights playlist because it still sucked. I want these 54 minutes of my life back.

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Medication Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: If you play Primal Scream for me and you're under the age of 40 I'm looking you dead in the eyes as I disembowel myself in front of you, forever changing your musical bond with this shite band and the trajectory of your aux life

Drie laatste nummers niet beluisterd. Twee grotendeels instrumentele albums op rij is wat veel, zeker omdat dit nogal industrieel klinkt.

I have no clue how to describe what this is but I don't like it.
