Reviews (page 8 of 8)
Dear TV On The Radio, please start playing better tunes or shut the fuck up.
46/100
What? I wrote notes on this while listening and 1001 deleted them. Annoying. Anyway, my notes on this were basically that it didn't seem to settle on any one sound and I felt like the band was playing around with different genre exercises more than they were writing songs.
A little bland.
I don't like it. I don't hate it, but I don't like it. It does belong on the list. A perfect example of that horrible 2000s electronic indie sound. A warning to not ever make music like that again. Favorite song: Dancing Choose.
mittelmäßiges Songwriting kaschiert durch alle String Audio Libraries die aufgetrieben werden konnten. Fühlt sich komisch entkernt an
So bad i couldn’t Get through it
ok-ish, pretty uninteresting
Meh. 2 good songs, the rest ok. 2.75
Don't wanna give too detailed of a review, because it would date the listening time more than usual (based on current headlines vs. lyric content). But it wouldn't have been higher than a 3 regardless so I'm not that pressed.
meh
Alright 2000s rock?
Painfully late 2000’s.
3rd song in and I feel like I'm still waiting for the album to start.
Excited for this one, a few good songs but pretty bland album overall.
Heavy
some electronic, nothing special to be honest
Decent to listen to, but I have no idea why this is on the list. Didn't seem notable in any way.
Perfect example of an album that I’m sure is technically perfectly good but just isn’t my taste. I found the music mostly boring and the singer mostly annoying.
Got 3 songs in and was bored.
hated it for a while but it took a little turning point for me around Heroic Dose (the song, not my own) 2.5/5
This is a band from my era that I always ignored. After listening to this, I will continue to ignore
Reminds me of loads of other stuff - !!! most notably. The opener sounds like someone's been listening to a lot of Beach Boys. Hard to know what to say about this - it's pleasant enough, but doesn't feel like anything new. Good, but not great.
This started off sounding very cold, then the soul arrived on track 2. There was even a punk lite edge to some of the songs. It gets a little Coldplay crappy in places, then launches straight into some Chic funk on the next track. I can't be doing with all the genre bed hopping tbh. Not really my kind of thing.
Shit
It was fine but didn’t really strike me as anything special
Not the style of music that I like, wouldn’t listen to this album again.
Ok, it’s hard to know what will make the canon. Important stuff fades. Obscure stuff gets noticed. And some stuff starts a the top and stays there. So I might be wrong. But while pleasant enough I don’t see this as a must listen. Or even a yeah, might listen. I might be wrong. This might go on to be a beloved album listened to for half a century. But I doubt it.
"A bombshell: as good as it undoubtedly is, this record isn't going to change your life. Nor will it be considered an OK Computer or a Velvet Underground & Nico in ten years' time. Did it ever promise to be? Some people seemed to think so, and many still might." - Rob Webb, Drowned in Sound. It's ten years on, and I think his prediction has become true. This was the flavour the year, 2008, but do we really still need to listen to this record? It sounds great, it's smart and approachable, even if little short on real hooks and energy. 1001 Albums; I suspect this was a relatively fresh album when putting together whatever edition this went into, but I'm willing to bet it will be cut from the next edition. Just my little prediction there.
It was whatever, just one of those things that sounds like the rest of the bands but I guess they were first to do it
Musically this album is absolutely solid. Vocally though, it is awful. There were so many times it sounded like the singer was singing to completely different music and his voice overall is pretty bad.
Meh - trying to be all things to all audiences.
This album didn’t move me one millimeter.
Didn't really click with me for now. + Love Dog + Shout Me Out (reminded me of Bombs Over Baghdad, the drums, for whatever reason) Kept thinking of Flight Of The Conchords and Damon Albarn.
Not the genre I typically listen to, a few great tracks though!
2.5 This reminded me of Depeche Mode a bit with the first song, but then shifted into much more of a heavier-electronic direction (though I feel like I heard some Coldplay in there at times). Anyway, I walked away with mixed feelings on this. This style of electro-rock is generally pretty hit or miss with me, and I found that to be the case with most of the songs on this album. Sometimes it does some cool things, but other times I thought the electronic emphasis was a bit much or a tad repetitive, and honestly, I think that made the album feel kinda long. That being said, I really, really liked DLZ, both in regards to the intense, musical atmosphere it builds and from a lyrical perspective. In particular, I loved the line “But this is beginning to feel like the dog wants a bone” to close out the verse and kick off the chorus - it’s a cool line that just feels like it fits the tone of the song perfectly. Don’t have a ton of specific comments beyond that, though I will credit Lover’s Day for comparing love to cannibalism - that was a new one for me. So, that all said, this one kind of balances out to middle-of-the-road status for me.
Meh
I liked it more than I thought I would but not enough that I’d listen again.
Not interesting, meh
eletronica chatão
Just can’t get into these guys
Ugh. It's an indie album. I didn't skip any songs but I didn't really care for it. I will round up
Meh
Eerste 4 nummers heb ik echt meeega snel geskipt want echt niets aan en weird?? Maar daarna vond ik het wel soort van oké, maar nog steeds weet ik nou niet zo goed waar ik naar geluisterd heb hoop dat jullie dat ook hebben!!
Werd wel beter naarmate het album verliep maar heeft zou geen onuitwisbare indruk gemaakt. 2.5
I don't get this one at all, does very little for me.
Generic indie. Nothing memorable. Why is this album on this list?
ну как-то не туда, не сюда... не знаю что еще сказать ттцаэоащпрэыкпотпрщщырпломтрпшгыэдопщшщерщшкрпооаикпщр
The only album so far I genuinely didn't enjoy listening to (only just started this challenge). Bad vocals , some songs have good ideas but execute them in the worst way possible.
I liked Family Tree. The rest wasn't really up my alley.
þokkalegt, gæfi tvær og hálfa stjörnu ef hægt væri
Still not dead.
I’m not sure why this was on the list. Felt like it was trying to be too many things. Not awful, but not good enough to be on the list.
Not great, there was one or two songs that were ok but the rest was not my style. Seems like another experimental album with jazzy themes and strange lyrics
Good background music, not much more to say though
Very much a product of its time, but I found the melodies to be very much outdated and at times borderline annoying. Not really something I would gravitate towards and there wasn't a single song that stuck out to me. I knew one TV On The Radio song before ("Will Do") and was perhaps expecting something similar in sound, so I was a bit disappointed by this.
This had all kinds of random stuff in it. Some danceable grooves. Vocals not much to speak of. I didn't look these guys up but I'd guess...British?
Not terrible but not memorable either. I just have to shrug and wonder why this album would be here. It's nothing special to these ears.
I’m already tired of this albums generator making me listen to a band’s album that isn’t even their best album. Feels pointless. Band is good, album is mixed for me.
tja, ikke det beste førsteinntrykket kanskje
08/15. It's not bad, but it's also not special and a bit boring
Like the electronic style drum and beats, mix of dance and rock almost. Really dislike the vocals however.
no me encantó
Never heard of this, or them. About a third of the way through I'm thinking "does this fella want to be Bowie?" About a third of the way through I ponder if that he would perhaps prefer to be Prince. Then it started being pompous and orchestral, which demanded that I look up and find out if it was from the mid-2000s and yes, it just about was, released in 2008. Which is a shame. ... But hang on there. Red Dress. This is a bad song, but it is at least not the dirge/bilge of mid-2000s post britpop wankery. I don't think I am the target demographic for this album. I can find very little to redeem it. It doesn't engage me, I'm not blown away by the production and it seems pretty derivative.
Pós-punk com programação de batidas que funcionam bem para estabelecer o clima e definir uma linha melódica.
Kerrankin B-puoli oli vahvempi, siellähän alkoi ihan juhlat! A-puolella vaikeampi keskittyä, fiilistelypoppia mutta ei dreamia.
2000-luku ja "vyöryvä äänimassa"-pop. Noin joka toinen biisi kuulostaa hyvältä, joka toinen taas ei. Osa kuulostaa melkein kamalalta, eikä yksikään kuulosta selkeältä hitiltä.
Couple good songs. Lost me though.
Onpas outo. Alkuun ei herättänyt oikeen mitään fiiliksii, mutta sit ainakin Red Dress tuo ihan kivaa funkkia tähän kaiken puuduttavan indien päälle. Kaikenkaikkiaan tuntuu että bändi ei oo oikeen tiennyt mitä tekee, tai ainakin mulle kuuntelijana tää levy ei näyttäydy oikeen minkään laisena kokonaisuutena, vaan sekavana kokoelmana yksittäisiä biisejä. 2/5
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: a little? Some nice indie elements on a few tracks but not ultimately something I’d actively seek out and listen to myself. Favourite song: Track 4 - Stork & Owl
2+
It was ok, nothing memorable on it.
Jollakin tapaa olisin halunnut tykätä tästä enemmänkin, mutta vain pari kappaleista päätyi omalle soittolistalle. Lopuista en oikein muodostanut minkäänlaista mielipidettä, tai sitten pidin niitä lievästi ärsyttävinä (esim. Red Dress sekä Stork & Owl). Jos levynkansista jaksaa välittää, niin tässä se oli miinus. Suosikkikappaleet: Crying, Dancing Choose, Love Dog
Soft Rock Melodies, sounds fun.
Boring
I can hear the inspirations but i'm also, just not super moved by it
Good band but this isn't their best.
2/5 couldn’t get into it. Reminded me of bad version of Radiohead
This album was all over the place. Only a couple of songs really stood out to me. Most of the songs felt very boring. The album doesn't seem to have a solid sound or idea its going towards and the song writing isn't anything to write home about. Some songs are pretty catchy and fun but overall the record feels bland. Favorite Track: Stork & Owl Least Favorite Track: Dancing Choose
Ok - but not sure why it in the too 1001
Ok, Non Musical Silence threw me for a loop. I thought I hit the end of the album and the next song made me jump a bit. I feel like my son would appreciate that one. Unfortunately, the silence made more of an impression on me than anything else. Every time I paused, I had "Mothers Talk" stuck in my head. Figure that out.
Dear Science is American rock band TV on the Radio's third album. It's an indie art rock album with funk and soul vibes. This album received widespread acclaim at release and was popular among critics, which surprises me since I haven't heard of either the album or band before. The music was good, but didn't engage me much. This genre or the band's signature sound must not be my cup of tea.
-meh -got boring and kind of lost interest in between songs
One of the most derivative albums I've ever heard. Very little thinking for self going on here
Never got this band and the hype, it's not bad but it's sounds at times like a bad Prince cover band.
Weird
Not my style, too edgy for me
Listened Before? N Mehhhhhhh. Not my style. Also, another generic British electronic/rap/modern rock mashup? I'm good. Added to Library? N Songs added to Playlist: DLZ
Rarely post-punk on the few guitar-centric numbers, but often the songs are overwhelmed with syrupy strings and superfluous horns.
Yay, more weirdness from the 00s, originality not entirely absent but this is nothing really new either. I thought it was going to be something more interesting because Halfway Home is a good opening track, loud and full of intent. Where did it go? Also, the lead singer can't sing, it gets annoying. 2/5 because it's not terrible.
Art-rock, indie, eksperimenterende
ive heard of em but i think i didnt like it? not realyl fair
Some potential here, but not grabbing me on first listen.
just bland
meio fracão
It was fine. It didn't do anything for me though.
Not my speed anymore with the exception of a track or two. Good walk down memory lane though
First time of listening. Not greatly impressed, got a feeling of Wayne Coyne/Flaming Lips light here. Can't see why it is on the list and wouldn't own it myself.
Coldplay lite but with really heavy loud drums
Meh
Not bad but not good. Painfully average.
ew 00s indie rock, and even worse it has pop touches. 2/5.
One or two good songs but ultimately not for me
Forgettable
Meh. This one didn't really do a whole lot for me. I didn't HATE it, but nothing on here was very memorable either. I guess it was pleasantly forgettable, but definitely didn't blow my mind. Fave track: Stork & Owl. Artsy, fun, and a vibe. Enjoyed that track a lot. Normally I rate "meh" albums with three stars, but I'm subtracting a star punitively because having an entire album track that just consists of silence is insufferably pretentious, in a first-college-boyfriend sort of way.
Couldn't get into this. Little stood out.
I hate rating systems cuz i always change mine and compare too often ie. If so and so got a 3 then this isnt as good should get a 2 yadda yadda.. so from now on its gonna be 1- bad, 2- ok, 3- good, 4- great, 5- classic. This is a 2. Theres some good stuff and some really not good stuff.
Enjoyed it. Nothing special idk
No le encontré pies ni cabeza. No me gustó el sonido y en general este disco no me enganchó para nada. 1.5 estrellas que suben a 2 porque no es horrible, tampoco fue una tortura, simplemente no me gustó.
I like “Wolf Like Me,” but it’s not on this album. DLZ is ok. This sounds like low-rent Prince or something. Also, the mix sounds off. Like I’m not hearing all the instruments.
Initially this does not seem like my type of music
Pretty dull
TV On The Radio's Dear Science is more of an indie/electro/rock style of an album. Not sure why it was classed as the best album of 2008 by a number of major publications, considering things like Kanye's "808s & Heartbreak" and Kings of Leon's "Only by the Night" were out the same year. Best: Family Tree Worst: Lover's Day
So so, happy idiot and wolf like me rocks as #SINGLES
Meh
Good but probably wouldn't listen to again.
Meh...fine as background music but nothing particularly notable or exciting
It's almost good. Not the type of music I'd listen to again... I could see it working as background music.
Liked the music. Didn’t care for the Volga list or the lyrics
Top Pick: Crying This one wasn't really my jam, only listened to the first half. I enjoyed the instrumentation of a couple tunes and the backing band were pretty tight but I didn't really dig the singer's vibe.
Not very good! I could maybe see some parts of it being good if the singer could sing worth a damn or if the songs were recorded in a style or something but to me, a lot of this album was unsalvageable. Pretty bad. Mostly. I don't think I needed to hear this before I died.
First Listen. Never heard of them before. Definitely a sound I like. Very enjoyable album. I'll listen to this one again. 2/5 for now.
‘Shout me Out’ has really grown on me after 2/3 plays but most of the rest feels disjointed & unharmonious, & the songs phase very awkwardly. 2008 must have been a very thin year if this was one of the top albums
This fucking sucked to be honest. There was nothing interesting or enjoyable about it. Not sure why it is on this list. 2 stars.
Didn’t really do it for me.
There were a couple moments on this album that I enjoyed, but it generally wasn't for me and I felt like it was about a third too long (maybe I'm spoiled by the length limit of the old LPs we've been dealt the most so far, where they're all coming in at under ~45 minutes); I had to take a break in the middle of this album (sometimes I do that anyway) and listen to some Disney tunes before coming back to it LOL
just because it's more palatable than most post-punk doesn't mean it's any good.
I really enjoyed the instruments in this album. However, I really did not enjoy the vocals in it. The singer mainly just "say-sung" through most of the songs. It didn't match up very well in my opinion. However, on songs he was actually singing on, it sounded great. Favorite track: Shout Me Out
A bit too Prince lite at times but some of the more indie focused numbers are interesting listens. "Stork and Owl" is great.
New band to me, not my cup of tea either, too heavy on the programming.
opener is very 2008 skins, decent but does nothing for me and I can't even remember hearing this which I undoubedtly did at the time but I do like the mostly instrumental outro like the music but nothing special "While Zion's behavior never gets mentioned" but this lyric could be from any decade in the last 70 years i feel i would love these songs in a film score on on a tv show more to give them more meaning they lack on their own the band should be called music on tv not tv on radio. i do like the music, violins, cellos, keyboard/piano along with usual guitar, bass and drums. good music, innovensive vocals and lyrics and appreciate it for the use of cello/violin strings which is not overly common in pop music especially of this era Family Tree is probably the best song and if I heard it as the backdrop to a film/tv show about a black couple or a gay couple etc it would probably pop more but still a great song. Red Dress I wish the album was more like this "When the man cracks the whip And you'll all shake your hips And you'll all dance to this Without making a fist" 2 - not for me but doesn't hurt my ears but could possibly be a 3 as I might listen again as the later part of the album intrigued me a bit
not my style at all.
I’m giving this a 2 just because they are one of my all time favs and this is my least fav album of theirs. Starts off great and then they try too hard with the spoken word rapping bits. Beautiful horn instruments throughout tho.
Didn't like it that much... it was okay. 2/5 stars.
You dont have a friend in me
Very nothing special
Paso.
OK. Didn't hear anything special.
Meh
Surprised this on here.
Agree with Andy and Sean. Seems a little all over the place.
It was okay, definitely not my favorite though.
Ein weiteres Album, mit dem TV On The Radio es leider nicht auf meine Senderliste geschafft haben.
I see what they're trying to do here, and it's not the worst I've heard, but it's not particularly well-executed either. The album opens with Halfway Home, which sounds very Joy Division-esque, but somehow less exciting. The tracks sound like gray noise until you get to Red Dress which breaks out into really what reminds me of the type of rap they try to put in Anime music. It's not good. At the very least, the songs that Spotify plays after this is filled with Arcade Fire, The Shins, and Local Natives, all of which I love. I'm just not really thrilled with this offering.
Fine? Good even? Nothing special that stood out for me
It's fine. 5/10
started weak, got slightly better
too cluttered
Nothing special

Ei
Were you born between 1980 and 1996? Do you have distinct memories of moustache finger tattoos and have been married under or have watched people be married under string lights? Are you asked to calm down at events where "Mr. Brightside" is played? Do you believe reddit to be the funniest website on the internet? Do you wear a cable knit beanie that barely grazes your ears? Well le sir or le ma'am this might be your utopia. Shangri-la even. Yes, when 24 Karat Magic is more of a Saturday night "jam" for you and "hubby," pop-in "TV on the Radio" for those cozy autumn Sundays. Sip an 8 dollar latte and let these boys in blue lull you into a peaceful stupor. Be transported to a land where millennial grey is the pallor of every wall and The Kings of Leon reign with an Iron Fist emblazoned with a "House Slytherin" sigil. Bow down to the deliverer of honey badger memes and declare upon hearing said memes that the teller has indeed "won le internet for today." Allow the quirky (and disgustingly terrible) funk breaks on "Dear Science" to force from you an "errrm" so emphatic, that your finger naturally snaps to a point beside your head. Declare with authority, "Me thinks I LIKE this music" and snicker heartily to no one in particular. Writhe in orgiastic pleasure in your resplendent paradise. Oh millennials. Sure, you were the first generation in a hundred years to be worse off than the previous. Yeah, your complacency and pacifist "protesting" perhaps doomed the planet to cosmic annihilation, and hey, maybe you did have the worst collective sense of humour since the Nazi party and up until modern day red pill-ers, but chin up champ! You can sleep easy in your 4500 dollar a month apartment knowing that at least you had bland, sanitized ass rock (and LMFAO) to ease the daily transition between latest show on Hulu, the dismal torment of Tartarus, and bedtime! 0 HIGHLIGHTS: At least we put that Kony guy behind bars!! We didn't? Oh. Errrrm back to the music xD *chortle chortle*
The band boycott the album in my country so I can't give them respect back
No
A 1-star rating for me pretty much means I didn't like it. Not much else to say ... I didn't like it.
Maybe this caught me on a bad day… but I genuinely hated this one
Subpar killers tat. Not worth imitating. Annoying as a whole
When people recently started using the term "industry plant" I thought of TV on the Radio... When these guys hit the scene it really felt like they were being shoved down our throats by critics and as a good hipster I did my best to swallow! But I couldn't, it's just so mediocre. Hadn't thought about them since then so I listened with fresh ears and yeah, it still sucks. People comparing them to Prince?! Bowie?! Huh?! At best they sound like a shitty U2 (and they got pretty shitty in the later years!) I really dislike the vocals, the weak "funk" guitar riffs and the songwriting in general. And the cover art! Fuck it, I'm going all the way down to 1 star
Har ett svagt minne av att TOR var högt upp på någon av Sonics årsbästalistor. Blev nyfiken på att lyssna då men det är först nu det verkligen blir av. Har tydligen inte missat särskilt mycket. Ordinär 00-talspop. Och vi vet alla att 00-talet inte var det starkaste decenniet om vi ska leta musikaliska mästerverk. Svag sång och allt för ofta trist Coldplayproduktion. När det sen ska bli funkigt som i Red dress vill jag helst av allt stänga av. Det är finns spår som inte är lika dåliga, men inte direkt några som är bra.
this is poo
I couldn’t get through this one. The singing was just awful. Felt like the lead thought they could do this high pitched whinny style and then proceeded to do that the entire album. 1/10
Genuinely one of the worst albums on this list. Like Coldplay and U2 had a child. This was so hard to get through, I didn't know 50 minutes could be so long. There was a lack of focus throughout the album, which was annoying and distracting. I just hated this so much and also the guy can't sing
I don’t understand why this is on the list. This was flavor of the month stuff from 18 years ago and has had no lasting impact. The listeners are much lower than other bands of the time which shows that this has come and gone.
oops
boring
говно
я хз, мне в падлу чет писать, просто 1 балл поставлю
I don’t get it
abysmal
uhhh not rlly my type..
mehhhh. only liked about 2 or 3 songs. everything else was a bit annoying. did not like the vocals. the instruemtnals and production were solid. but i dont think i'd go back and listen to this again. halfway home was my fave of the album. 3/10
That was really hard lol
Another album that simply is just not very good. So you read the Wiki page in hopes of understanding and it starts by saying how its sold a whooping 200k copies - I’m just speechless how this shit makes the list.
Rate this a one. Mediocre album
Rubbish
101 albums would have been enough
Wtf 1/1
Nope. Still terrible
I made my lunch today and forgot to put salt on all the food. Even so, it tasted better than this album. A real Chayote Popsicle.
first three songs would all be skips for me and already make me regret this. lyrics are not hitting for me the backing doesn't sound like anything special and I have nothing positive to say about the instrumentation. I did not enjoy this album.,
What the fuck is this shit. I definitely didn't need to hear this before I die.
No idea how this made it onto the 1001 list. Biting, generic and outdated 00’s indie.
laut.de review het gseit "panoramablick über alle genres" NAI. das isch seichte indiepop vlt rock us new york ide 2000er. find so züg nööd spannend. glaub mega viel musigreviewer:inne liebed so scheiss. de song golden age zb fang ah als chönted mega funky sii ich los jetz mol. desch no cool gsi. aber naja. etz nöd suuper cool. find etz würkli nüt guet bis etz. nervigi stimm. es will immer nochli meh mache alses brucht. chli pretentious. gad huere froh bini bim letste song. würkli nöööööd miis. aso mengmol ischs au schön aber finds musikalisch zu wenig fokussiert. ha das 2000er Indie züg nöd geeern.
Didn't like the sound
Nothing here I enjoyed even a little bit
Packt mich nirgendwo.
Probably the worst album I’ve heard so far. If not the worst it’s a close second. Didn’t like anything about it. I couldn’t even finish it.
1. home - 0 2. crying - 0 3. dancing - 0 4. Owl - 1 5. Golden - 1 6. Tree -1 7. Red - 0 8. Dog - 1 9. Shout - 0 10. Dlz - 0 11. Day - 0 ANOTHER SHIT GROUP !!!!!! Big fat zero
Dårligt album, ved ikke hvorfor jeg lyttede det hele vejen igennem, når jeg vidste på anden sang, at jeg ikke ville synes om det.
Absolutely awful
Not for me
desperate youth, bloodthirsty babes was interesting and weird but not my cup of tea, this is just some barely-more- interesting-than-average indie rock with some pretty consistently aggravating vocals
This DID NOT work for me. There were times when I heard a bad mix emo and alt/pop. Other times it sounded like a terrible Prince ripoff. Overall, I didn’t like a single song.
Different sounding band. Not bad, just different.
Wanted to shut it off. Terrible
-C Shein version of Nine Inch Nailes.
Not for me. 1/5
43/1001 Forty-plus albums in, and so far I have not been blown away by albums I have never heard of or encountered at all before. This is nowhere near as awful as some other long-players I've had to endure. Run-of-the-mill electronic indie, at its best coming off like Beck-lite, at its worst like the soundtrack to a 90s commercial which produces a one-hit wonder band you've now forgotten the name of. The vocals don't really work for me, annoying semi-rap, all fake attitude and evocative of something else already done far better by someone else. Dear Science tries to be many things, but excels at none of them, and just isn't very cool or authentic sounding. Compared to others I have encountered on this list thus far, at least there is some semblance of melodic content and interesting moments of musicality. Still only one star, and I doubt I'll listen to it ever again by choice, but by no means the bottom of the barrel.
Couldnt even finish :/
I fully thought this would be a band made of white hipster men until I looked them up. Sorry to all but one band member I guess.
why was this so bad?
I just don't get the appeal unfortunately. I'm all for experimental stuff and it's these types of albums that probably should make the list due to their uniqueness, but it just didn't click. I don't like the production, the synth, and hated the vocals.
The third track made me wonder if they were behind the “Threat Level Midnight” theme song.
very yucky.
I didn’t need to hear this one
This is so bad...
Didn't get it at all
actively didn't like
Wow. Deadly dull. Just totally lacking any kind of spark at all. Zero soul. Zero stars.
Awful
Honestly, I thought this was pretty terrible
"Stork & Owl" was probably the most interesting track on this album. The rest didn't do a damn thing for me at all.
It was just boring, the first song lasted to long, and from there i wasn't interested in listening to the rest of the album, I did but it did not get better. I can't name any song that was interesting.
I went in with no expectations and was still let down. This is bad, just straight up boring.
It's a mess.
Not my cup of tea...
No
2008. rated album of the year by some. why havent I hear of it? I play their best of... / most popular in descending order. nothing for me today. Tidy, atmospheric, but the vocals dont light me up. Boring boy music? So I tried not to dismiss them. I listened all the way through GOLDEN AGE. Nothing.
1/5
It was a chore for me to get through this album; not one song peaked the interest of my ears.
Terrible vocals, obnoxious shitty falsetto, obnoxious music, stupid lyrics. The songs aren't even catchy. Wow I hate this album, maybe the worst one on this list so far.
Could not get through it....

Weird album. Did nothing for me. Meh...put on my own Santana Lotus live CD from Japan in 1973. Now it can really crank.
Ostatni album roku 2k21 i taki cringe, wczesne lata 2k wylewaja sie z tego albumu, tak jak na wczorajszym odsluchu blend wszelakich gatnkow zeby calosc nazwac artystycznie wybitnym rokowanie, mnostwo instrumentow, denerwujacy wokal pana Adebimpe, nie ma to jak zakonczyc rok tak potwornym miszmaszem podanym w sosie nowoczesnej muzyki, gdzie ciezko jest okreslic kto zrobil wieksza robote, ktos grajacy, czy procesujacy caly material, bo tak mialkiego materialu czlowiek nie jest w stanie nagrac o wlasnych silach

I don't really see anything special about this, and I don't see why it's on this list. It probably is about a 2, but I'm rating it a 1 because it shouldn't be on this list. Aggressively mid.
a bit repetitive in the prominent use of drums, but some catchy songs
Just a nothing sort of album.
Volle Deckung! Hipster Blendgranate !!! Ein Pop Album, das nicht viel verkehrt macht, aber mich so unterkühlt zurücklässt, dass ich erstmal einen Ingwer-Shot brauche. Es ist nicht so, dass Konzept, Instrumentalisierung und Struktur per se kacke ist, ich kaufe ihnen nur keinen Millimeter ihres selbstgefälligen Pathos’ auf diesem (dritten) Album ab. Ähnlich verachtenswert ist diese ostentative „Kulgscheisserei“ beim Bandnamen, die mir zu Zeiten von „Starring at the sun“ oder „Wolf like me“ noch nicht aufgestoßen war. Und so bin ich im Prozess ihres Werdens als Follower verloren gegangen, aber Haldern bleibt solch smarten Tierchen immer treu-saftige Headliner Weide. *yawny 1.0
Not a fan. Like a poor mans bloc party
