Darklands

So boring I didn't even notice I was listening to it.

Terribly plain “rock” music with absolutely no edge. Mid-paced drum machines under generic chords and not a memorable line to be found.

The original shoegazers. Musically I found it pretty boring and lifeless.

turned ts off after like 5 songs. trash

Wat een onzin

Not good in my opinion. Very repetitive & slow. Not my kind of music.

Not a fan. Stupid songs, weird music.

They named themselves after an ancient mother and son. The son got nailed to a cross. The mother weeped. "Dad", the son shouted. The father was nowhere to be seen.

Sölig tråk-rock. Riktigt trist… Lyssnade inte klart

meh, it felt like it was trying to be the cure.

boring

Wow, this afternoon was even worse than I expected!

The only track I liked here was “Happy When it Rains”. The vocals are boring, guitar solos are uninspiring, and I couldn’t care less about the lyrical content. I’m getting tired of all of these 80s records that are a slog to get through.

bro this is just the same song forever

This album is depressing dog shit 1001 album worthy: No - 24/43

Just the most boring forgettable album I’ve heard in a long time.

pre: I only know the name and have a vague note in the back of my head that people I respect respect them. nope nope nope. I recognize this period of this genre as important in linking music I like to music I like, but I do not like this specific period. I fully support everyone's right to be whiney about they emotions, but it needs to be better music for me to listen. Listened to the first two songs then sampled every other song, nothing for me here.

There were a couple cool guitar riffs, but overall it’s not really my style.

Can’t see how this is a groundbreaking album of note. Just normal stuff I’ve heard a million times before. There are at least 1001 albums better than this. 1/5 22/10/72

Not my style of music I guess. Wasn't too keen on the mix, and choice of feedback. But good at creating a vibe.

Geht so

This is a slow boring album. Definitely some Pink Floyd blended in, but I’m not a fan.

Piss

Sorry JMC busy with the JC album, no time 2waste

I enjoyed this, hit hair was nice and he sang very well, Clive aged 7

A small shit and a chain

I almost fell asleep

Couldn’t finish, not into it

Nothing really stood out for me, wouldn’t listen to this album again.

Tylsää settiä niin ajattelin testata laskeeko verenpainetta ja yhden haamutuloksen sainkin mittauksesta. En sit tiedä oliko kyseisellä bändillä mitään tekemistä asian kanssa.

Very forgettable, nothing really stood out to me but it wasn't painful. Just forgettable.

Fuck whoever put this album on this damn 1001 albums list. Some of the most bland, listless rock I've had the displeasure of listening to.

The Jesus and Mary Chain, what to say About You? I’ll say that I’m Down On you. This record is versatile in the sense that it’s just as perfect to put on when shooting heroine as it is when cleaning your heroine spoons the day after. The writing is pretty clearly On The Wall for me…it’s not great. I found the songs incredibly uninspired and boring. It may connect with some people, but not me. I don’t have any favourite tracks from this album. I noticed a few Bruce Springsteen-esque guitar riff rip-off’s, which was comical to me. So maybe those songs because they made me feel SOMETHING at the very least. In this genre, there were better songs created before this and after this. After the album finished on my Spotify it automatically went to some songs from The Cure, and it was Nine Million times better than this. And I don’t even like The Cure. Not quite sure how this makes its way onto the list. It must have been #1001. Quite unremarkable.

Similar to Primal Scream... not my thing. NEXT!

Boring.

Should come with a free rope

This is not something I will ever be interested in

Did not enjoy. Tried to listen to the album could not get through it.

Given my dislike of shoegaze, this isn't as horrible as I'd expected. But not something I'd choose to listen to, and not something I'll finish listening to today.

1.5

First time hearing and listening to this band. I dont mind 80s stuff but this album was quite boring.

This might be the most tedious album I've ever heard. Most of these songs are indistinguishable because they're mainly comprised of two chords: a root chord and then its major 4th chord, which they switch between ad nauseam. Once in a while there's a major 5th chord. Those are the 3 most basic chords in all of history. And they're played so lazily too. This album just oozes mediocrity. The singing is lackluster and the guitar playing is so dull; a below average 9 year old guitar student could've have written this music for all I know. I think I'd rather have no guitar at all than have to listen to this unimaginative, unimpressive trash. These guys have MORE THAN ONE album on this list, which is unfathomable. There is better alternative music from the 80s than this.

I just don't understand why some albums make it into the top 1001 whilst other less trendy singers/bands are out in the cold. Not even a sniff. Heavily biased selection in my view towards the 80's onward and towards glamorous groups with a few 00's Spotify plays. I don't mind this band but this album is just derivative and bland.

Boring

fuck off you rock fuckers

Nope

Darklands by The Jesus and Mary Chain (1987) It’s refreshing to hear baritone voices in a rock mix, but drum machine and lack of bass lines destroy this relentlessly boring attempt at music by two archetypically untalented sibling guitarists. Lyrics make you wonder what was on their alleged minds. Because they are ubiquitously expressive of completely numbed souls—delivered with an equally numb vocal tone quality. They sink this dud into a muddy abyss. Slowly. Don’t listen to this album before you die. Save it for Purgatory. 1/5

This isn't really all that good. Just dark and everything sounds the same. 3/10.

Jaren 80 bah

Couldn’t even finish it with a full dedicated 1.3/5

Das dieses nichtssagende Album in diese Liste aufgenommen wurde, ist eine Frechheit und ein Ärgernis. De Artikel über dieses Album in der englischen Wikipedia ordnet die Band zu allem Überfluss noch dem alternative rock zu. Es handelt sich um generischen Pop mit Gitarren.

Nope, not for me. Very tedious.

nice!

wow - where has this been all my life so far...sounds amazing. I am all in from the sound of the first song!

Okay
