Just not for me.
I honestly think the 80s were the lowest decade for music and this hasn't helped sway my opinion
80s glam, not my jam
Oof I hate the song I know from this band so I'm not looking forward to this but we'll see! I am shocked to learn this is not only not a one hit wonder band (the song from The Breakfast Club), but also that song isn't even on this album. I tried to find stuff to like in here but ultimately hated it.
Was this band Duran Duran at one point? New Wave music is terrible. Each song is somehow both better and worse than the one before it. This album is awful. This is one of the worst non-experimental albums I've ever heard. I understand why this album made the list. This is the band that literally every other New Wave band of every variety sounds like. A uniquely terrible album.
pff.. typische eighties brol... synths, gezwollen zang, plastieken drums...alle nummers onderling inwisselbaar
Whole range ehhs no massive 80’s hitters for me. Quite boring throughout the album. Only redeeming song is Someone somewhere and even that’s just alright
Literally didn’t bother, nothing good came from the 80’s except for Miami vice and it’s aesthetic
Not bad but not super memorable to me. It may be this site is giving me too much 80's which is a shame as I've turned around on the decade but these guys aren't standing out from the best of that decade's new wave/pop bands as of yet.
ugh i tried i’m so sorry simple minds but this is just not it for me. everything sounds the same and why is the whole album 4 hours long, with different versions of the same like 6 songs. i couldn’t even make it through disc 1😔
So tired of this new wave bullshit. This shouldn’t be in the top 10 million albums. Stop it!!!!
Dreary stuff.
Usually when talentless bands release an album in the 80's there is at least one hit written by some some songwriter not in the band. NOT HERE! This album doesn't even have a hit...
For this phase of 1K+1AtLtBYD, I'm not wasting my time for the sake of the project. I hate this.
1. Open up 1001 albums generator 2. Check your new album of the day 3. See that it is a new wave album (ol' reliable) 4. Click the one star rating 5. Continue on with your day
Umm no
This is some UK new wave pop synth stuff from the early 80s that I just could not care less about listening to.
3/10 very subpar 80s music
I hate how hard it is to hear the lyrics. I really did not care for this album. Extremely boring. Couldn’t hear the lyrics. Unemotional.
Just a collection of nothing songs.
Didn’t enjoy this sound
Simple Minds = Simple Music? Not for me...
80er ja, dieses Album nein!
Metallisch kalt.
I liked Promised You a Miracle but it some how managed to be repetitive despite being fairly short. The rest of the album was Simply Forgettable
snoozefest
Dated and incredibly corny music.
This album cover is the worst. Oh this is not my kind of music. The bass player stands out. Promised You a Miracle and Glittering Prize are okay. Still plagues me, why do so many 80s singers sing like this? Not even this amazing bass player can save this for me. I gotta go 1.
2 Fuck it this was really fucking boring 1
not my jam
now sure who is this new wave boring shit is, but its not for me NNN
Unbelievably bland. Like unseasoned chicken left under a heat lamp for an eternity. Doesn't even have the end of the Breakfast Club song. Probably a good cure for insomnia. Definitely inspired U2s post 1997 output.
Didn’t even make it past the first song.
Not much of an 80s pop fan and this contained all of the tropes that put me off. Takes itself way too seriously, a particular crooning singing style that wears thin and overuse of wishy washy synths. Sounds more dated than a lot of the 60s/70s stuff we've had. Bass is tight though.
I expected a lot more. Very, very boring and forgettable.
This album is so 80s, I just hated it all. That sound just has not aged well.
2 80s 4 me Didn't enjoy any of this really, this kind of 80s sound just doesn't do anything for me at all...I will concede that there is some good bass at times but still no
Anyone who rates this above a 2 has a simple mind.
Nope, nothing there that I liked
Didn't listen too much cause I can tell I don't like it. Album cover is too religious too
Why?
ugh too 80’s for me!
One of the worst albums I’ve ever heard
1.5
Aika tylsä, ehkä yksi hyvä biisi ja loput solahtaa toisesta korvasta sisään, toisesta ulos.
Tutussa Miracle-biisissä on jotain potkua, mutta yleisesti ottaen levyllä on tehty melodisesti ja soinnillisesti aivan liikaa heikkoja ratkaisuja. Laulu ei myöskään kuulosta hyvältä - kyllä, se on taito myös taitamattomassa muodossaan.
Demasiado sonido ochentero para mis oídos
To 80's for my taste
