Reviews (page 8 of 8)

i'm sure influential on 90's dance but rating on how much i enjoy listening. so 1

jesus christ. standout track: - mea culpa: (made me anxious bc it reminded me of the hell level in super castelvania IV) 1/5

Lyrics are mainly background noise and very repetitive. Nothing much here interesting for me.

This album doesn’t have enough songs about buildings or food.

Like both not this

A lot of sounds, not a lot of music

It’s not music at all, just fuckin’ noise. Boo

Didn't like it much

Not an album worth listening to

I’m sure I just don’t get it.

Going into this I thought “surely Brian Eno won’t let David Byrne ruin an entire Brian Eno record” and I was right, but multiple songs sound like 5 minute long intros to a Talking Heads song and that’s just such a waste of the time these two had together I expected better

just cuz its ahead of its time dont mean its necessarily a good album

Boring, like everything Brian Eno does.

Schöne Covergrafik. Die Musik mag ich nicht.

I really didnt like this.

A strange blend of blade runner soundtrack, mad scientist delivering a sermon, and hari krishna worship, this album did not have much appeal for me. Very experimental, with diverse ethnic influences and eclectic instrumentation, but unfortunately without regard to aesthetics

They must be taking the piss.

too slow and moody for me.

I wanted to really like this. Music snobs rave about it. Music snobs are dicks. This was shit.

No, bot for me.

Hell no

absolutely awful

This is the kind of album you need drugs to appreciate. Lots and lots of drugs. Unfortunately for me I was sober listening to this and it made for a terrible experience. If I could give 0 stars I would but I guess by default this album gets a 1 out of 5.

Lots of random samples of music put together

I just couldn't get into this one starting with the first track. I like Brian Eno and I like David Bowie I just could not find a groove with this one.

I'm sure it's influential or whatever but I found it unlistenable

David Byrne est le chanteur des Talking Heads. Très expérimental, très pas mon style. Certains sont intéressants, mais plus d'ambiance de film que d'écoute musicale.

bof bof bof

Insanity

plop desde la canción 5 ya se vuelve repetitivo en todo caso se puede escuchar este álbum https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/album/5YNZYOdNSUDyMfJu0exTeb?si=ca-W49qpRmOYR2O8NraPtQ y no es apropiación cultural xd y tiene un concepto sjajsj no sacado del culo con disque experimentación

More of Eno's garbage music for artsy hipsters. When I saw that this was a collaboration album between Eno and the equally fucked David Byrne, I knew I was in for a treat, and what a treat it was.... African chanting, sampled voices, theramin work, scratches, boops, beeps, and other irritating noises all packaged as one dumpster fire of a record. Absolute dogshit of an album. Really dumb, unoriginal album cover, and a nonsensical album title. I'm not on near enough drugs to even begin to enjoy this trash. Waste of an hr of my time (which I had to break up into sections because I couldn't stand to listen to the whole album all at once). Favourite songs: Help Me Somebody, Regiment Least favourite songs: Moonlight in Glory, Very Very Hungry, America is Waiting, The Carrier, A Secret Life, Vocal Out-Takes (why the fuck was this even on the record?), New Feet 1/5

This album might have been groundbreaking at the time for its heavy sampling, and I have respect for both artists, but this is not in the top 10k albums I need to hear before death. There is nothing here aside from dated beats.

Chaotic pile of shit. 0 stars

First listen Saved 0/11

soo boring

What a dumb album. Really excited to be done with this list so I don’t have to listen to anymore Brian eno music. I don’t think there’s anyone consistently as bad as him on this list maybe except for pj Harvey. It’s a shame David Byrne had to attach his name to this. On to the next one. 1.9/10

i get this was really influential and whatever and is like a big reason as to why sampling is used the way it is nowadays but it kinda sucks

Muusikoilla on herkästi tylsää. Tarkoittaako se, että minullakin täytyy olla?

Awful noise

Awful album.

Seriously, this is not good. Sorry Brian Eno, but this is a far cry from the hay days of Roxy Music! This album generator should be renamed 1001 albums that should never have been made!!

Shockingly shite

really bad album. couldn’t wait for it to be over. actual struggle to get through

not for me

This is a joke, right?

If you like soundscape electronica, you will like this.

An experimental and difficult album to listen to in its entirety. It shouldn't be on this list.

If you'd told me there would ever be a time when I would think, "Damn. I just wish Brian Eno would be more ambient," I'd have laughed in your face. And yet, here we are. I very much prefer the second half of the album where it seems that Eno and Byrne stopped tryin to make a statement and focused on making mostly inconsequential noise. Not that any of it was good. It's just that the last half was less horrible than the first half.

This is the musical equivalent of modern art. I don't care what innovative techniques were used if it's boring to listen to.

achei péssimo o álbum, não gostei de nenhuma música mesmo.

Wtf. Absolutely awful. Just a collection of random noises jumbled together that was annoying from the beginning to the very end.

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, it’s not really my thing for experimental and ambience Favourite song: didn’t have one

Ja vielleicht is es das erste Album das Sampling benutzt hat, ich mag es trotzdem nicht.

"Hmm... Human Music... I like it!" There's millions of albums out there, and this was one of the 1001 that I just had to listen to before I died? This is an example of the editors of the list jacking eachother off for knowing random obscure albums.

This is terrible.

Listening to this is torture... I couldn't even finish it. Never before have I disliked an album so badly

Öööö, joo eips

Horrible. Why would anyone want to listen to this? Twitchy loops and repeated vocal samples. Sounds like a panic attack. Ew.

A full album of drums/space? No thank you

Very experimental rock, Not my type of music. Probably a good source of inspiration for a lot of artists

just not my kinda music

Two insufferable guys making insufferable music.

I don't like Brian eno

I am so glad I got through thus album. I can't even call this music, just noise. I hated it. Absolutely hated it.

I must not be cool enough to understand this album. It makes sense that it's weird with Byrne involved, but just too much for me.

No like sounds

This is an album I actively did not want to listen to. Too much going on

If you’re not going to have a chorus in your songs, you better be Sigur Ros.

Brian Eno's bullshit is usually mostly benign. This was an assault on my ears. Best track: N/A

This was obnoxious noise that I hated but weirdly my 1 year old enjoyed.

Incoherent noise

Nope, don't get it. Absolute art wank

too big to fully understand, might revisit later

His holy mush be offsetting any positives from this album

Did not enjoy

So, it's 1000 albums I need to hear, and this one tossed in. What a waste of time.

Brian Eno is a hack.

First time I've listened to Brian Eno outside of Roxy Music. Not for me but I guess it's influential for its sampling.

I like Brian Eno but this one sucked

Mostly unlistenable. Terrible

Decisamente non il mio genere

This was kind of hard to listen to

This is an album people play when they're trying a little too hard to make everyone think they're interesting. The only saving grace is there's a chance this album led to Paul Hardcastle's song "19". At least he made sure we'd forever remember the average age of the Vietnam soldier.

Nah not my cuppa

Not for me.

Horrible

Didn't like any of this. 1/5 stars.

25th June 2021 Listened on my phone while working at home home. Mum said "that doesn't sound very cabinet" I really want to like arty music like this, but it's just not my bag.

Not for me.

Instrumental noise

Gekmakend

Ik weet dat dit heel invloedrijk zou moeten zijn, maar op een zondagochtend is dit niet de meest voor de hand liggende muzikale keuze. Eigenlijk op geen enkele ochtend.

No. Maybe I wasn't paying attention but sounded like someone trying to tune a radio.

Sounded like a bunch of noise to me

Noniin, aiemmin kuuntelemani "Here Come The Warm Jets" -levy oli melkein kuunneltavaa Enoa mutta tämä menee taas vaihteeksi "vittu mitä paskaa" -osastolle. Teki mieli luovuttaa jo ensimmäisen biisin aikana, mutta taistelin urheasti kerran loppuun asti. Ei enää näitä pliis.

This is distracting noise, not music. It can't be soothing or meditative even in the rare occasion I need something a bit repetitive and I actively listen to it.
