Darkdancer

Not my thing

Sorry, but this is absolutely not my vibe. Had to skip through a lot of it. Some people live for this style of music, but I have never been able to find enjoyment in it. Maybe I just to be rolling face or something 🤷🏻‍♀️ It did lead to me searching how many songs have sampled these so that was fun to read about.

p848. 1999. A double album of mediocre 80s influenced dance music. Fuck no.

Just didn’t do much for me. Sounded outdated and repetitive.

Mon dieu que c'était pourri ahahaha

another one that is very hard to understand how it is one of the 1001

Very boring and repetitive. The fact that this album is so important that I have to listen to it before I die is hilarious

Had a bad day so this will be biased but fuck this album honestly. Disco to disco is one of the worst ones I’ve heard yet. Rest of the album sounds like a shit version of the Sega all stars racing soundtrack. And why all the bloody remixes. It’s already remixed in the first place. Stop. Specific rating - 0.5 Fav song - dreamin Least fav- from disco: to disco

Nooooot good Bob, not good at all. This is like if Fusion Frenzy was intentionally a parody of itself.Disco II Disco was so bad I had to subtract a star 😂 1/5

Absolutely giga ass. This deserves to be on interpols least wanted list. The synths sound like sonic the hedgehog if he was suffering from pancreatic cancer. The voice is stupid as fuck. But every once in a while... it sounds exactly as ass as the rest of the album. This is the music equivalent of being spit on by a hobo with neon hair. I would rather die slowly of radiation poisoning than listen to this abomination again.

Irritating and repetitive. Reading through some of the lyrics was mildly interesting but the sounds were painful

Not music that I can really get into, music for a club but not for listening to

Hated this a lot

Pre-listening: Any time I have never even heard of the artist, I chuckle about it being an "album I need to listen to before I die," but let's see what *checks notes* Les Rythmes Digitales has for us today... I enjoy reading the Wikipedia pages of these albums for some context before I listen. Sometimes those pages are WAY too long to read in one sitting. That was not an issue with this one, lol. But it included enough information for me to gather that I will probably not like this album ("In a 2005 review of the album's re-release, Paul Sullivan of BBC called it 'ahead of its time' and credited it for launching much of the electro-pop vogue of the 2000s... In 2015, Thump placed it at number 97 on the '99 Greatest Dance Albums of All Time' list." Oh well, here goes... Post-listening: The lyrics to "Soft Machine" were hilarious. I do not believe they were intended to be. At the risk of hyperbole, this album's inclusion shakes my faith in this whole project. But only slightly. According to the history page, we are now 99 albums in, and I have really enjoyed it and even learned quite a bit. But I absolutely did not need to hear this album.

Oh yay, more techno...

wtf

Meh, niet m'n ding. Waarom deze lijst dit bevat in plaats van iets van Weezer of the Cranberries? Geen idee, maar er zal wel een publiek voor zijn zeker? 1.4

didn’t like it, was to boring for me

After the 2nd track it became unlistenable to me.

Album 834 of 1089 Les Rythmes Digitales -Darkdancer (1999) Rating : 1 / 5 I try to keep an open mind with this project, but this one just didn’t land for me at all. It felt like weird electronica for the sake of being weird—and I couldn’t connect with it in any meaningful way. Not much more to say. Just not for me.

Utterly maddening. The 1980s and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Once you get to hell they play this on repeat as they torture you and that's why he says Lucifer is rising Favorite: Hypnotise

Ugh. Bad electronica

Firstly, WTF is that album cover all about!?! Secondly, French electronica, on the whole, isn’t very good. You can tell whether electronic music is French in the first few seconds of listening to it because it has one short continuously operative sequence of twangy, nonsense sounds. They all do. It’s like The Gorillaz of electronic music. This is no different. At least Daft Punk managed to elevate their twangy French electronica beyond twangy French electronica. This did not. It’s just twangy French electronica.

From Wikipedia: “Darkdancer is the second studio album by Les Rythmes Digitales, released in 1999. It peaked at number 53 on the UK Albums Chart. In 2005, it was re-released with an additional disc that included remixes, unreleased tracks, and music videos.” Lol. “Peaked at no 53 on the UK albums chart.” Seems like another winner… Fuck, I don’t care about this at all. Maybe someone who’s a fan of the genre would appreciate it. I’m two tracks in and so, so bored. Why is there so much edm in 1001? There have to be better options from 1999. Anyway, for what’s it’s worth, it sounds a little different than what I expected. But I just don’t care. It’s boring and I don’t want to listen to any more of it. Skimmed through first 3 tracks. Still better than Destiny’s Child “Survivor”. 1.3/5

No.

Not my cup of tea. Could be good, but I'm not in the mood

Easy 1 star. DNF Best Song: N/A Rating: 2/10 (An Abomination to Sound) Stars: 1/5

Incredibly boring and uninspiring! Write a line, repeat it 100 times, next song do the same. Boring!!

Aerbobics Class Music

At some point, one has to ask himself: "is this original, does this contribute somehow to our happiness, does this add some value to whatever"?!?!? The start was not bad but after some minutes the repetition ad nauseam really got me headaches! And from that point on the amount of repetitive beats, songs and themes was such that I struggle to keep listening to it. I do love electronic music but please, there's a limit to what you should praise in it :-/

Got very old very quickly

As soon as I saw this album cover I thought, "Oh boy! This is gonna suck!" I was right This book is a fucking joke

Almost everything I liked about this album was sampled from somewhere else or came from a featured artist. Obscure french house music is not something anyone needs to hear before they die.

*shakes fist at sky* THE FRENCH

No. Just no.

Why in this list?

Boring and dull electronic music. So many better artists

Rather generic and a bit pointless and dull, didn't really offer anything of any merit

There were a few tracks that were okay on their own, but as an album, it's all over the place, not good.

Oh God this is irritating. "From: Disco to: Disco" is tragic

No appeal.

Boy howdy, I mean to tell ya, that blew chunks.

I just didn't care enough to finish

Did not get far

Not for me. Super repetitive. There’s a joke in this that stops being funny by the 3rd song.

This list is so bad. It’s been over a year and I haven’t discovered anything good that I haven’t heard.

Crap

I had an open mind, listened to a couple of tracks. Instant dislike.

Too repetitive and generic electronic record.

I genuinely tried to listen to this, but I only made it to Disco II Disco and just couldn’t take any more. The fact that this album made the list over any Modest Mouse or Yo La Tengo album is depressing.

What was this? I found almost no single minute of interest here. Repetitive subpar electronic music Daft Punk-like. Avoid it if you appreciate your time.

Never heard of this and honestly, has anybody? After listening to this album I don't think anybody should listen to it. This is some low quality electronic music. 1/5

Even if I did like electronica, I would still think this album sucks.

This one was a chore to get through Last track was cooler than the others

The poor man’s Daft Punk. I don’t even like Daft Punk

What is this crap? this is like the most basic craptastic eurotrash dance music. what is it doing here? it this somehow notable? wtf. Sound like a kid with fruity loops. one star and even that is too much.

The music is about as good as the artwork. 1/5

A fun electronic album with some remixes of songs i recognize. Mostly it made me want to listen to the originals though.

No thank you

Jason Mendoza’s DJing was probably better than this! Zero talent on display here. This guy (complete with his eminently punchable face) just makes boring sounds that loop over and over. When sub-4-minute songs feel super long, you have a serious problem. A bad album: that’s what you are.

Over 30% though this list, I am completely perplexed as to how we have yet to see a single offering from The Who or AC/DC, yet this hollow and empty techno continues to rear its head.

I know. Let’s come up with a song title, throw some beats down, then proceed to repeat the song title throughout the song as essentially the only lyrics. Whatever.

Les Shit. I love when you can tell right away the album is gonna be a one star.

My initial thoughts: The cover looks like anime. I’m not going to like this. I was unpleasantly surprised. This was terrible in an entirely different way than I expected. Most of it sounds like the background of a video game. But not a good one. Utter waste of time and I resent that it was put on this list. I want my money back.

No.

Oof I had to listen to Physical Graffiti again to get the taste of this out of my mouth. How can this garbage be on the same list as Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" or even "Homework" by Daft Punk? It sounds exactly like what this cover looks like: childish, contrived, soulless - the look on that dude's face says it all. I guess it's supposed to remind me of the 80's, but I was around in the eighties and it was NOT like this. And thank god for that. Shockingly, this person has won 3 Grammys, which I guess says more about the Grammys than it does about this guy.

Meh

Reminded me of when everybody was playing around with FruityLoops back in high school.

Music Makes You Lose Control??

Well........I listened.

Just awful

ok first thought - "I'm nervous, what is this?" Yeah, I don't think this one is gonna be for me. I assume a bunch of people have sampled this album and that's why we're here?

Lightweight dance music with the world's most annoying vocals.

Cacophonous elevator music 1/5

Half of this album was not on Spotify so I’m judging based solely on what is on Spotify, I can’t be bothered to go looking for it, especially bc what I have heard isn’t all that good to begin with. Idk if this just isn’t my type of music or what but this is kinda ass. I’m sure he was like foundational for the genre or whatever but doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s mid. I read his little snippet on his Spotify page and the first sentence compares him to Daft Punk which is one of the more disrespectful comparisons I’ve heard. To be clear I meant that it’s disrespectful to Daft Punk not to this clown. This is a 1, if I can give it lower I will but I think 1 is the lowest.

Did not feel that there is anything extraordinarily special about this recording. I imagine it is a great electronic dance recording, but not my thing...

Stuart Price is now a pop music producer and he does an awesome job providing stellar disco-adjacent instrumentals for singers such as Dua Lipa or Jesse Ware, helping them hit the charts quite gracefully. He also works with the insanely boring faux-indie act The Killers, but I guess you gotta earn a living when you operate in that part of the music industry. As long as nobody died because of The Killers' duds... Well, did someone *die*? With a name like that, maybe I should err on the side of caution here... But I digress. Let's go back to 1999, just like Charli XCX once did (if you know, you know). That was when British-born Stuart more or less started his career under this French moniker, "Les Rythmes Digitales". The name sounds good in French, even though there's a huge grammatical error in it (it should be "Les Rythmes *Digitaux*", "Rythmes" being a masculine noun, and adjectives taking on the 'gender' of the latter in a 'groupe nominal' in my -- admittedly difficult -- native language). But I guess Price was too much in a hurry to catch on Daft Punk and friends' *French Touch* train (while it was still a hot thing) to double-check how correct his idea for a cool artist's name really was... You got to have priorities in life, right? French grammar and French Touch aside, *Darkdancer* is an absolute borefest that aged so badly you kind of want to put whoever mentioned it in Dimery's book in prison for life. It's not repetitive in a hypnotic way. It's just repetitive in a *poor*, unimaginative way. It's neither joyful nor sullen. It has the emotional range and connotations of a desk lamp with faulty batteries. Textbook one-star album. Now if someone suggested to add Dua Lipa's *Future Nostalgia* in Dimery's book, I, for one, would certainly consider it as a valid suggestion that could be honestly discussed. But please, oh, please... Not *this*. It's as if you included Picasso, Monet and Cézanne's early childhood doodles in a book about the greatest art masterpieces of all times. And make no mistake... I'm not saying that Price's *current* work can be considered as up to the level of those painters in the field of modern music. I'm just saying that he has become a gifted and resourceful producer, who is now excellent at what he does, nothing more. Everything in its right place, please. And you know what? Let's start by ejecting this *Darkdancer* thing from all future editions of the book (if ever it's *still* in the latest ones). We can do this. Together. Let's save the turtles, as someone in this group -- someone wise -- once said. 0/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums. 5/10 for more general purposes (5 for musical competency + 0 for the artistry) Number of albums left to review: around forty, as I've gone over the 1000 line and this generator is including albums from all editions of the book Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 455 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 271 Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 329 (including this one)

This was a very painful album to listen to. Now I've got a headache; the cringy album cover isn't helping. Remember Daft Punk's "Homework", an album with long and repetitive songs? Well, "Darkdancer" is that, but without the good, funky beats (and shorter). There was a glimmer of decent music by the end. 1 star for "Darkdancer".

ehhhhhh not my thing

Repetitive and boring and repetitive and boring

I think I'm understating it somewhat by stating that this is a heaping plate of fuck. 'Les Rhythmes Digitales' - oh behave, you grew up in Reading.

This is laughably bad and shockingly annoying at times. The only reason it doesn't get a 1 is because I liked About Funk once you get past the repetitive first minute. Wait, never mind, there's a half minute outro of people talking. I no longer like it. 1 star it is. BOO THIS ALBUM! BOOOOOOO

I was liking it at first, but the more I listened, the more annoying it got for me. It's irritating.

If I could eliminate any genre of music from existence, it would be whatever this bullshit is.

While this is fun music, there is absolutely nothing unique or special about it. There are any of a number of other DJs that put out way better quality dance music than this.

Fuck me, and fuck this.

Dancey dance is no good. Couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Not a fan of electro dance music. Boring.

Thanks for the inclusivity! It’s nice to know that mediocre electronica can be found beyond the shore of Britain.

This is not for me at all.

I listened to this while working out, which is probably why I didn't mind it as much at first. But then it got worse. And worse. And waaaaay worse. I don't really understand this list to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I love doing this project, but what's the point of adding in some completely random album that is neither good quality-wise nor commercially successful? Yes, I admit I am far from an expert on electronic music, but I refuse to believe that this is the best the genre's got to offer. 1.5 stars

Just no

No thanks. 1.5/5

"Well, Daft Punk started at the bottom and is still at the bottom, then I listened to this album and turned out it wasn't the bottom." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My_FCRu8mnM

That was a pretty annoying techno album.

Elektroschrott! Eintönig, stupide, …!

Wtf? How is this in this list?

Disco II Disco may be the most annoying song I’ve listened to. I didn’t have high hopes from the get-go, the album cover lets us know right away, this guy sucks. This was tough to get thru, I really don’t understand the need to include this basic electronic album. This whole album carried the energy of that bratty kid kicking your seat on a 6 hour flight. 1 star

The soundtrack for an aerobics workout. Bloody awful.

"Hey you what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down Ahh yes ain't that fresh Everybody wants to get down like that" Tot hier en niet verder.

Volgehouden tot From: Disco to Disco. Toen was de maat echt vol.

Well I was really dreading having this in my listening history and ultimately listened to mostly snippets because that's all I could take. Added one track to the playlist and that may not last. Not my thing and that's just fine

um!

Didn’t listen, but no interest in expanding “dance” music

I recognize the samples used from the album, but I don't really care for the album overall.

Disco II Disco is why people hate EDM. If the only thing they say is that this album was number 53 on the charts I’m going to need a good reason why it’s on this list.

Not very good, I'm afraid. Not sure what this is doing here.

not worth the effort

I was so primed to hate this as soon as I saw the cover and that it was a French DJ, but you know what, it's a pretty fun 90s version of a disco album that's full of great synth sounds and decent beats. It's dumb and fun, and doesn't really have ambitions beyond that. The vocals are pretty awful though and the samples are extremely annoying, and they just get played over and over and over and over and over. We get it, music makes you lose control - shut the fuck up already! So the songs get extremely grating very quickly making it much harder, sometimes impossible, to just enjoy the synth stuff and electronica production.

it's not that the songs itself aren't good, it's just im expecting to hear this type of music in a club setting since im evaluating albums as an art form, i couldn't give it higher than a one because i just wouldn't listen to this as an album

I feel like even by 1999 this was out of date. Very cheesy and even at 43 minutes this overstayed its welcome.

This was OK. Its not really my music but there were some good tunes on this. I am not sure ill listen to it again though. Favourite song: Music makes you loose control is a good tume Least favourite: Hypnotise Album artwork: Its a pretty naff album cover

Some fun stuff, but overall feels cheesy and vapid, like watching Barney.

the same bad song repeated 12 times

a writing friend turn for the music choice came and i can’t prove that they put this on but it was similar and bou did i not write. could i write poetry to this? n

I got like 30 seconds in and was like nope

I never want to listen to this again.

Not for me - vocals were off.

A dance album that would clear the dance floor. Lame.

repetitiva tanto la letra como el instrumental, el ritmo parece que lo hace al voleo. tarda 40 mil años en que empiece la cancion, no tiene contenido, mismo ritmo todo el rato, previsible y plano

anstrengend zu hören, tlw. musste ein Lied "geskippt" werden

Sounds like a bad 90s film

Overly repetitive, tedious, annoying crap suitable for breaking down and cracking prisoners at Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

The whole album is just one repetitive sound after the other... I couldn't finish listening to most songs, it was really boring and annoying.

I hate this type of music

I just don’t get the reasoning for repeating the same thing over and over again.

When I said yesterday that whatever crap I was served up (forgotten already) had broken new records of been my first 3 in a row 1 out of 5, I gleefully hoped that this miserable sequence would end. It not only hasn’t but this offering has surpassed the depths my list has recently sunk to. I was up all last night with excruciating toothache but even that was a thankful relief than giving this a listen. The actual music (and I use the term loosely) reminded me of a video game I used to play with my kids. Forgot the name but the one where you race around indefinable circuits throwing bananas and bombs at your opponents featuring a man dressed in overalls who comes to your house to mend things. You know the one? It was played on an early computer where my kids used to also make up short passages of elementary tunes. Despite the fact that these used to get right on my chest hairs they at least were significantly better than those arranged here by Mr Darkdancer. Most interesting thing about this album, and has got me wondering if the time 12:14 on his watch has any significance? May have but will have forgotten about this album in an hour, so who cares? 000000.1/5 2/4/24

This sucked. Surely there are better examples than this album in this genre. In fact, I know there are, but the question remains why is this in this list at all?

I think you need to be around 1999 to understand the hype of this album.

1-2

Who gave this cunt a drum machine?

Non, s'il vous plaît, et merci.

I feel like I'm on the loading screen for an online poker game at the very start of Dreamin' before the vocals hit. I got bored and changed the playback to 1.5x for a bit and it was interesting. I think this almost works better at 1.25x. Maybe 1.15..., 2.0 is too fast. From Disco To Disco feels like a gag. I can't help but picture the twin brothers in Baskets opening for this guy. This should not be on the list. I swear if you give this a 5....

This is a solid 1 star, just because this thing doesn't allow anything less. Get it out of here. Never again.

I would have given this 2 stars, since I didn't hate it, just didn't like it, but I actually did hate the 'For What It's Worth' pseudo-cover.

The repetitive and obnoxious vocals on this album completely ruin it. There are brief moments where the electropop sounds great, but those moments are completely overshadowed by someone repeating a line like “Lucifer rising in my head” multiple times. There were also at least a few times the sound of this album reminded me of the Ghostbusters song, which isn't exactly a good thing. The only decent track was Mdc vendredi.

Most of this was unlistenable. Hated the vocals. It seems like an album any semi-talented DJ yahoo could’ve made. A couple of OK things (e.g., Damaged People), would give it 1.5, but a 2 vote I can’t do because I don’t want to help the Global Stats for the album.

Why do none of the songs go anywhere? I thought this guy had some half decent big beat stuff but I guess I was thinking of someone else. Far better records with this kind of vibe, Todd Terje's It's Album Time! For one. 3 songs in and I'm ready to rate. Nothing has changed with the rest of the album. I recognise the hey you what's that sound sample obviously from Buffalo Springfield via Skee-Lo, and this version was on a Gatecrasher album remixed by someone else, so I can't even give credit for half liking that. Oh god ok yeah I do remember Jacques Your Body. It's shite. Total background nothing music.

This was not my thing. Tried to listen through but the 90s house scene just didn’t do it for me.

Did not like this one

Day29 - this should be on the albums no one should ever listen to list

If this album were a cup of tea I would tell people “it’s not mine.”

Absolutely not my style.

This sounds way older than 1999. I would have guessed 1985-1988ish. Very euro electro sound. Annoying at times. I heard it - couldn't finish it, don't want to hear it again.

Not for me.

Blah

I don’t like it. Electronic video game music

Unlistenable

Just no.

Fucking terrible

Anstrengend, wenn man es ohne Drogen und Tanzfläche hören muss.

Boring and repetitive. Too many substances were involved in the production of this crap.

No more disco please

This album was so bad my cats left the room.

I should know what my rate will be even before I start it, and I also don't need to wait 1 hour to know that it will be 1 star. It's not the most generic electronic album that I have here, but still boring.

This album doesn’t belong anywhere close to any top 1000 list of anything

Hot traaash

Ik heb het tot track 7 geschopt, dat vind ik al aardig ver. Wat een drama.

Nope. Just nope.

This felt like a sick, cruel joke. I hate this album.

😬

Actual artless garbage. Worst album on 1001 albums so far.

Not a fan

This is definitely an album I could've died before listening to. You have failed me.

I think I don't want to listen to music anymore

This is the kind of album that makes me question why I do this.

Not my kind of music

This is not music.

Just the perfect mix of video game music and Milli Vanilli.

Irritating yet boring, repetitive and mindless.

hey you what's that sound everybody look what's goin down hey you what's that sound everybody look what's goin down hey you what's that sound everybody look what's goin down hey you what's that sound everybody look what's goin down hey you what's that sound everybody look what's goin down hey you what's that sound everybody look what's goin down etc

"It's...fine? I guess?" This was my first thought after maybe 10 minutes. ...I would hazard an assumption that most of us make while going through this massive list of albums - that there's *something* in each of these that can make us say 'holy shit' or 'ok that's unique' or even 'i didn't know music could even sound like this...and this is the worst thing i could have imagined' - something that sticks out. 1000+ albums is a lot but obviously a drop in the ocean of everything ever released so give me something. So what actually does this album even have?? Honestly this is like listening to someone's boring sample pack for an hour. "For just $39.99 you get these copyright-free beats to compose your own..." blahblah. This finally and fully went off the rails for me when it went from "fine background" to "what am I even listening to" to "holy shit this is terribly boring." I'd been thinking all along: "where are the songs?" and then the track "Sometimes" came on and it became terribly apparent that he *cannot write a song* - junior-high-school level writing. As an album: this stinks. 2/10 1 star.

1/5

ew

Not my type of music

Nah

Sounds like the garbage I made on GarageBand when I was 12.

In the top 5 for the worst albums.

Yea, I think I snapped halfway through Disco II disco and whatever that repetitive sound it kept making during the "song". I made to the end, but it put me in a terrible mood. Is there anything more annoying than electronic/techno dance music? Michigan football fans for sure. But most them are wussies so give them a quick bitch slap and off they go to annoy someone else.

Disco, maar kut

Give someone a keyboard for Christmas and this is what you get

I held out for hope that this was going to be like Daft Punk. It just plain sucked instead. Just Look how awful that cover art is. It tells you all you need to know right there

that's the first one I'd call bad. The songs are the most annoying ever and soooooo fucking repetetive. No, just no. And he's French so it's even worse 3/10(1/5)

I don't like it.

Dude. I thought this was gonna be bad. 3 2 Ok some of this is fucking stupid I take it all back This fucking blows

I found this to be extremely repetitive and annoying.

This is bloody awful.

Oh boy, I gave it a chance but that’s about all I can offer here. For anyone asking, the music is as bad as the album cover.

Turned it off halfway through. I guess this qualifies as music since it's got rhythm and melody (sometimes), but it sounds like something that would be blared at 4 in the morning at Gitmo as a means of some type of psychological torture.

Nah

OMFG with the EDM on this list. Before starting this project, I had zero feelings about this genre. It didn't bother me, I didn't bother it. We might even pass each other on the street and nod politely. Now, though? It's war.

Aweful

Nah bro

Early 90's video game music layered with some 80's exerts and samples. In 1999. Come the fuck on... 👾

I'm very sad... I love this style so I was supposed to love this album... but it's quite awful ! I'll return to Daft Punk to clean my ears I guess

Not for me

How on earth did this make it into the 1001 albums you must listen to?

Like the cover. It ends there.

There are half a dozen good beats here, and for most of the runtime I was thankfully not particularly mad. On the other hand, structure is nonexistent and the guest vocalists are trite. A good producer's bad songs are still bad. It's quite an inverted emperor's clothes situation, I suppose.

Sounds like this record got very heavily scratched, broke, and just repeated the same grating noises over and over and again. The last two tracks, Sometimes and Damaged People, were at least somewhat decent but for the most part, this whole thing was just annoying to listen to.

not my cup of tea

First record that's just not my thing at all. Woof. Very rare!

Post disco, 1999. This record feels pretty lazy because every song is too repetitive and hasn't nothing different from other thousands tracks of this genre. The productions aren't good at all and I found them quite boring and uninspired. Also twelve tracks are definitely too many for this kind of project.

This is not a good album, I do not understand its place on this list. It was made well past the height of Synth-Pop and wouldn't even break the top 10 in the genre on anybody's list. And what the hell is Post-Disco. This might have ruined a Buffalo Springfield classic for me. I did not need a 4 minute synth version of it. I do have to give him credit though. He produced some of my favorite albums and songs by The Killers. Luckily this album didn't quite seep into those to have enough effect to make them bad.

Couldn't finish. Not for me.

I think i need to re-evaluate my ranking system. Ive been hesitant to hand out 1's but there seems like a huge gap between a 3 and a 4. If this is a 1 then so is that Lenny Kravits album.

This is music for an early 2000s sega racing game and half of its missing from Spotify so I’m biased

Generally not a big dance music guy. Feels dated too. This is the first album we’ve done so far that I skipped tracks. Not really for me.

Dated badly. Shite

Suena bastante primitivo y básico para ser un disco de electrónica

05/08/2022 Nope. Overlong and way too repetitive for anything to become worthwhile.

This one is a pass for me.

Honestly I thought I was really really going to hate this but I made it mostly through the album, I find it hard to rate these dance albums. Maybe I need to get wasted and dance around to fully appreciate them. Just not for me.

Other than Sometimes, I couldn’t listen to any song all the way through. I just couldn’t.

It's... meh? Didn't mind the start of it, but from Disco to Disco onwards, it was hard to enjoy.

Lame dance electronica.

I am finding this largely just kind of annoying.

"Music Make You Lose Control" has a nice bass line. If I were at a club, high, and looking to hook up, then this is probably really good stuff. But I'm not at a club, high, or looking to hook up.

I would prefer something actually listenable on a Sunday. This ruined brunch.

Wiki shows that Stuart Price has produced a lot of albums for big artists. He should stick to just producing records IMO. This is one of those albums that makes you wonder what the authors of 1001 Albums were thinking when they included this as it really adds nothing new and there's nothing here that we haven't heard before. Propah good EDM bands like Daft Punk don't have anything to worry about here.

Achei repetitivo demais.

It was a nice enough album to listen to but i found it did not have much depth, so it was almost restful, but not exciting.

Nykyaikaista tanssimusaa. Aika hajutonta ja mautonta, ei ollut tarttuvia hittibiisejä eikä jalka lähtenyt hytkymään niin millään. Lähinnä tuli katseltua kelloa, että milloin tämä loppuu. Junnaavaa ja yksitoikkoista tavaraa.

17. Há coisas que não sabem envelhecer. Sinto-me um gigante que olha de cima para as torres das Amoreiras. MotA: (Hey You) What's That Sound? "Don't just sit there dreamin' dreamin' dreamin'"

nope nope nope

Skjønte ikke helt hva dette albumet gjorde på denne listen? Er det så jævla innflytelsesrikt liksom? Aldri hørt om, og hørtes ut som ganske halvhjerta gutteroms-remixer som man finner en milliard av på soundcloud
