What even is this
Seguramente fue muy revolucionario y muchas bandas no podrían existir sin que este disco hubiera existido y demás razones para tenerlo aquí, pero di gracias cuando acabó. Seguramente no está cerca de ser malo pero la voz de la vocalista me molestó demasiado y los soniditos discordantes me sacaron de mis casillas. 1.5 estrellas que baja a 1 porque literalmente tiré un volado y perdió.
Awful
Everything about this is wrong. The title is stupid, the album artwork is hideously offensive to the eyes, and the music is absolute crap. I hate this beyond measure.
Ok so first of all.... this album is listed as "rock". I mean... I guess it's "rock" if your version of rock includes dance beats and 80% keyboards. Also: It's in French so again, as I've said before, it's a non-starter for me. I listened to the first song and then about 10 seconds of each additional song to make sure none were in English. Now I'm done. 1/5 stars for the purposes of the list. I'm sure some Frenchman can tell me how good it actually is but I don't care.
Not my thing.
The 4 stages of my listening experience: 1. Really actively dislike this. 2. Only on the third song, and ready to be done. 3. Music shouldn't be a chore to listen to. 4. Ugh!
Always found Stereolab rather sterile sounding and unsurprisingly, this album didn't move me particularly. I sort of like the sounds they use and the voices, but the repetitive krautrock-y bits get annoying. For me, this is background music at best.
Not my thing. Sound experiments and music are not the same thing to me.
Way too ambient for me. Maybe two songs I somewhat enjoyed
Wasn't a fan.
Whacky background music.
Quirky funky opening. First song is typical Stereolab. Groovy. Second song upbeat 60s lounge.
Think this album was released 20 years too late, can understand why they were released from their contract due to poor album sales. In a decade of some pretty outrageous tunes, these fail to get going. But if you’d have put them in the 70’s alongside the likes of pink floyd, we’d probably be wearing emperor tomato ketchup t-shirts and talking about how brave the albums were. Overall probably wouldn’t listen again as music that sounds like I’ve dropped acid in a boulangerie is not my go to 4-5/10
1.5
Nope.
