Clandestino

This is a long way from my taste. If it were on in the background while I was sitting in the sun drinking beer, I wouldn't get up to turn it off. But I'm not in the sun drinking beer, and I don't have to get up to turn it off. So....

Not for me.

A Billy Basic Plucker. Lucky the majority is in a foreign language as his lyrical content in English was embarrassing. Bashing out big bollock bongo around town. Wanker

Didn’t understand a word so, idk how to rate it fairly.

nope.

Pretty sure he just hit record with no preparation at all and just kept going in one take. For the whole album.

This was another one of those albums where I have no idea what’s going on but it sounded pretty entertaining and I could see people listening to this pretty often. However without knowing what is being said and cultural context this could an album that just the list maker likes and isn’t that good. I don’t think it’s standing out either way. 2.9/10

Don't mind that they are recommending international albums, but this one was not for me.

Pop

I listen to a lot of music with repetitive elements that I think many people find annoying but this album bugged the crap out of me. Give the Galaga sound effect a rest, dude.

Also not my thing

Not in English. Not into.

I heard the name before, but didn't know the guy. So I somehow thought this would just be our 200th random US or UK Indie rock album. Unfortunately, it's much worse than that. According to Wiki, this is Raeggae Rock. While I like rock, I don't like it nearly as much as I loathe raeggae. I listened to the larger part of the first 10 tracks, until I allowed myself to stop torturing myself. Calling the vocals understated is a huge understatement. These raeggae people aren't even trying to make music with any semblence of either skill or passion. The instrumentation, while minimal, has more to offer than raeggae normally does. I guess that's the representative rock component? The one track I already knew, Bongo Bong, is extremely annoying [even more than the rest of the album] - does anyone actually enjoy this, or is it only considered a meme song?

I didn’t like it.

This is definitely not my style of music. I could tell it was well put together, but it’s not for me.

This was...not for me.

Boring

I always wondered where that awful "King of the Bongos" song came from and now I know. Imagine my horror when I realised that the shitty bongo song was actually the best part of this album. This is the sort of music buskers play to be paid to stop. I really hated this from start to finish. I guess I just don't like world music, but there was literally nothing here for me to enjoy.

Sounds like whenever they go to Mexico on Breaking Bad. Nando's-core. Shite.

How does this have so many listens? Bongo Bong? Christ - its worse than the background music when the fast and furious gang head to Cuba

But of a mixed bag .

Don't like foreign songs butt the beat was alright.

Pedorrísimo

Not a fan. The closest thing I enjoy are baile and all the different forms of Mexican music. I love those sounds and styles more.

Just not for me.

This seems like something that I would enjoy a lot but I find it remarkably mid. everything is overtly safe and doesn't really stretch far from what I'd expect to hear from some CASIO preset keyboard grooves. Until now I had been relatively happy with the "world music" givings from this list but now I'm starting to understand why it's so notorious. Some particular gripes because I'm going to force myself through the whole thing: The 3rd and 4th song could have easily been cut into 1/4 the length and combined. That way they wouldn't have been offensively bad at least And the lyrics of the 3rd one? Was this taken from a child's beginner french 1 textbook? Hell I think you could say that about a lot of the lyrics. I would even love to say that this album can at least be carried by the good guitar playing and rythms but the fact that they NEVER change is, like, absurd. Song 7 is yet again painfully basic in all of it's composition, the best I could give this is the vocal production at least is a little more interesting compared to the rest so far. Shout out to the russian space race news broadcast clip too Song 8 seems to have picked up a bit finally, but again, suffers from a lot of the previous problems... Maybe if this tried a bit harder to lean into the reggaeton/club vibe and style I'd be willing to forgive this song but when the production is also so lo-fi it's really impossible to say this. Was song 9 an unfinished file that somehow got put on the CD? Song 10 at least serves as a reminder as to why you should pay your session musicians Track 12 gave me a lot of hope. This album has really had to work for the single star that I'm going to rate it and this track and a couple others are its only workhorses

Hate his voice. Music was sometimes alright

Not for me

meh

I didn’t make it through the second track.

Not my kind of thing. I didn't really listen to it. Even as background music it passed me by.

Not my type of content, but I thought it was pretty good.

Nothing on this album did it for me.

Is this guy bleeding from the head? Is he okay? Getting Adam Levine vibes. This one lost me at Bongo Bong.

By track four I had become seriously fed up with this irritating noise. Not worth using the electricity to play was my opinion at rhat point. From then on things got worse. Trite, meaningless and tedious songs with very overworked vocal patterns make this an album to miss. Teria sido muito melhor se ficou clandestino mesmo.

Nervte damals, nervt heute genauso.

I honestly tried, but this isn’t for me. If I need to throw a Cinco de Mayo party, I’ll have some music to play.

For poseurs only. Much better music can be found in this genre.

Utter horseshit

Was ok

Terrible!

C’est assez monotone comme album. Chaque chanson démarre comme un genre de loop et il chante/parle par dessus. Il n’y a pas de formes, pas de nuances, pas de modulation, à peine une petite progression harmonique par-ci par-là. Des fois, on change de toune et le loop ne change même pas.

Latin music is not typically my thing, and I even found this sound more blasé than usual. I would love to pretend like it was profound or moved me, but I just wanted it to be over. 1/5

Estuvo de moda, nada mas

Nope.

Latin music. Idk.

Did anyone actually listen to this....

nooooo
