Reviews (page 7 of 8)
acho que ouvi algumas músicas repetidas e não percebi, de tão parecidas que elas são entre elas. talvez na época do lançamento fosse uma grande novidade esse estilo musical, mas hoje em dia é apenas mais um álbum de música eletrônica qualquer, genérico.
I just cannot get into this type of eletronic music. I dont know, it just feels like random sounds mixed together. Not saying its bad, just that I dont know how to appreciate - songs are long and repetitive, not in a exciting way - I guess the genre is not for me.
Did not really enjoy this. Too long.
Sauvés du 1 sur le gong
Wasn’t a big fan of this one, it felt drawn out and wasn’t captivating. I zoned out several times and just wasn’t interested in the sounds that I heard. Faves: Blueski
Enjoyed the techno sounds but the lyrics were forgettable. Would serve well as background music.
It was fine but ultimately was just repetitive background music
I checked a handful of times to see if this was almost over. Not only was it a 'No' every time, but I was still on the first track... Not for me.
Não me recordo, então não marcou rs
Pearl’s Girl is the only song I liked, but the rest of the tracks didn’t leave an impression on me. They are too drawn-out and just sort of meander with no satisfying conclusion. Maybe I would have enjoyed this album more if it was being blasted through a good sound system in a club at 12 am while I was under the influence.
Its way to long and way to repetetive. Ive found that Electronic music generally is really interesting but this somehow manages to be kind of boring
Decent on the whole but just needlessly long and repetitive
Tepid and tedious chill/club music. One may be missing some subtlety, though there's nothing to engage non-fans, nor any reason to listen to it before or after death.
Meh
Not my thing. My dad would like it though
The most positive thing I can say about this LP is that it helped me fall asleep on the plane.
90s electronica is very distinct.
This veered a little too much into DnB for me to enjoy it, and I cannot with the super long songs. I didn’t mind “Banstyle / Sappys Curry” but I’m not sure I’d even add it to my highlights playlist.
Genre: Electronic I was never a fan of the modern Electronic music scene until I started listening to albums on this 1001 list. Most of the albums I don't care for the first time I hear it, but after several listens I really start loving them. This is the first time I'm hearing the one and this "band". First Impression: Descent. I need to hear it more.... Standout: probably "Rowla" Rating: 2.5 Singles: ---------------------------------- Pearl's Girl Rowla Juanita
1/2
I'm not a fan of techno/dance so this was quite boring, just repeating random noises ad nauseam. Nothing that stands out from other albums in the same genre, but maybe something a fan of dance would enjoy.
Just not it
I don't hate it? Not sure if i like it either. tries too hard to be Aphex Twin at times sound extremely outdated somewhat hard listen: mid
This album felt like it lasted 45 years. I don’t remember ever starting it, it’s been so long. What do I rate it? How do I rate eternity? How do I rate an album that has managed to evade the bonds of time? Probably two stars.
I mean… it’s unique to say the least?
Es bueno pero no me agrada escuchar esta música
As an inhabitant of the underworld, I can confirm that we always listen to techno beats that could've been decent if they aren't overlong and unnecessarily repetitive. As for the "Second Toughest in the Infants". It's not really as brutal as it sounds. It's just something about a kid's experience in a nursery school in the UK. Of course, a good bunch of us know what kind of underworld nursery schools are.
Very long and repetitive
Ik voelde me ergens tussen verveeld en geënerveerd.. niet mijn ding. Maar vond het oké genoeg om niet het minimum te geven
This didn’t do it for me.
Bit boring in places as the pieces are left for too long. Some sounds too much like the Born Slippy hit, others sound like bjork should bee singing them. I think there were better electronic dance albums during the 1990s.
1996, name and album cover, I'm going SCUNGY UK TECHNO. and boooooooom nailed it. Oh and it goes for over an hour, because of course. 2/5.
Not my thing
GABE HATTO MUSIC
Boring.
Some of these tracks remind me of the background music that you would play in a scene where life around the main protagonist is sped up and blurry to denote the passage of time. Similarly, these tracks blurred together and nothing stood out for me. It was fine as background music.
inte för mig
nothing great
Nothing stood out to me on this album. Fine production but nothing to write home about personally.
Electronic musiczzzzzz
Endnu et elektronisk album. Måske lidt bedre end de andre, men stadigvæk meget repetativt og meeeget lange numre. 16 minutter 😕 2,5 stjerne
It shone in a few moments, but overall it felt very repetitive within songs and I in cohesive as an album 4/10
4/10. Would've been better without any vocals I think, but overall fine.
Perfect album if you think On the Run is the best Pink Floyd song. 3/10
Maybe it would be higher if they just dropped all the vocals
Electrónica. Monótono. Cansino.
Not my thing, but it seems like they do this well
The problem with frontloading your album with the biggest, most epic-length tracks is that you're going to burn out the listener right off the bat. Unless you're, I don't know, Kraftwerk, you shouldn't do it. Even Rush couldn't really pull it off... I find myself shutting off 2112 after I make through the title track, and that's a much better album than this. This album starts with two tracks that each clock in at over 15 minutes, making it a tedious exercise to grind through while checking this album out for the first time. There are some interesting ideas here amidst some dated textures, but the structure of the album has killed its forward momentum for some auditory dick-wagging.
Only had time to listen to one track so far. Wasn’t expecting electronic music like this in the list tbh, but will finish it later
Mmmmmmm not my cup of tea
Boring BG music.
Seemed like a standard 90s foreign electronic album. A couple of the songs were a bit long and were pretty easy to get lost in but the other songs were pretty hectic noise. Nothing my style. 3.7/10
Meh I did quite like dancing to it, but also kind of bored by it the entire time
Droney and flat. not my thing.
Gets super tedious. I almost feel like ambient music shouldn't have song breaks. Just work it right into the next song. Like Floyd would do. It's not terrible by any means, just goes on too long. It's like they made their point at 3 mins but kept going for five more.
no techno for me
Far far below the standard set by their previous album - all very dull really with only a couple of good tunes
Nu maakt Underworld echte coole nummers, maar om dat nu zo thuis te gaan luisteren. Nee, dat kan ik niet zo goed.
Teveel van hetzelfde en het gáát maar door. Zenuwslopend op een gegeven moment. Op een festival is dit fantastisch, maar om gewoon thuis te draaien; nee.
I now only need the smell of smoke and stale beer to make my morning complete.
well made album, but I found it kind of boring/repetitive
Meh, lots of long repetitive songs, some of which were extremely annoying. I did, however, like one or two songs.
Not really into it. Very sleepy.
This is just entirely not for me.
It was okay, pretty average. Nothing really stood out for me apart from the first song. 2/5 stars.
Songs were way too boring to be that long. A little change of pace here or there would have been nice. Almost a 1 honestly but not bad enough that I wanted to turn it off.
Šta sam čuo, ok niš spešl
Wasn't great. Beat heavy and low on tunes.
Boring 😴
Far far below the standard set by their previous album - all very dull really with only a couple of good tunes
Nothing noteable in here.
Ok, but kinda boring
Ok, pra falar a verdade eu nao prestei muita atencao
Not a great fan
No Born Slippy - no party
There is really no point in including albums like this. Their purpose is not from a songwriting perspective.
Needs some drugs.
wasn't feeling it... didn't get far
Boring...repetitive....
Hypnotiserende techno beats, udmærket baggrundsmusik,
1996. Key Songs: Rowla
Feels like the soundtrack to a 00’s street racing game.
IMO “Pretty boring” is kind
Bored halfway through the first song
DNF. Just mindless electronic noise.
Se vc não está drogado em uma pista de dança nos anos 90, vai precisar se drogar pra escutar o disco. Insuportável. 16 minutos de techno para uma música apenas. Insuportável.
Not my thing at all. After a while, especially on second listen, I didn’t actively hate it. But it just didn’t do it for me. There were some cool moments where it sounded like Pink Floyd club tunes. But I wouldn’t return to it
If you could mix in part John Wick movie, part roof top bar downtown, and part shopping for jeans at Abercrombie, then you would have this soulless mess.
I need drugs and a dark basement for this to be worth listening.
When you’re in a sweaty crowded club, the dance is jumping and the vibe is high this is good. Also the high hat is somehow out of time on the first track which makes dance difficult. Stripped of context it’s meh. This isn’t a must listen. It’s a highly contextual example of house music. That’s ok. But it’s not a great album.
No.
Noooooobody cares.
Boring techno music
1/5. Find repetative techno music very boring, layered or not.
Choose death
Awful club music. Hate it
Definitely not my speed.
This list could be 101 albums. At the rate I'm going 90% of them are 1 or 2 stars. 1.0. This one takes crap to a whole new level. I really wish 0 was an option.
This is album 972 and if I’m given another shit EDM record it will be too soon.
just noises.
Jamais écouté avant. Je crains d'être passé complètement à côté de cet album, dont je veux bien admettre que les qualités hypnotiques doivent être du plus bel effet sur les dancefloors interlopes de Manchester. Mais dans le cadre d'une écoute plus active (et moins défoncée), qui plus est un jour de canicule, que c'est long, répétitif et fatiguant ! En dehors du dernier morceau, le seul qui peut vaguement être considéré comme écrit (ce qui lui vaut, sans conviction, la place de "Top"), le reste est une suite de beats et de basses électroniques vaguement agrémentée de mélodies ambient au synthétiseur et de parties chantées dont on se demande pourquoi se les être imposées, tant le chanteur semble blasé et les paroles cultivent le non-sens le plus total. Même rythmiquement, il ne me semble rien avoir entendu de particulièrement nouveau, funky ou même marquant. Incompréhensible. Top : Stagger Flop : Air Towel
Repetitive, long, and boring. Doesn't go anywhere. 1/5
I’ve had a really shitty week and this just made in infinitely worse. Thank you underworld for making me feel even more nauseous than I already was. This kind of music is just so fucking irritating. Especially when it’s so fucking bland like this. Pass.
One of the more boring electronic music albums here
En commençant cette liste je me demandais quel serait le pire style que j'allais découvrir. 506 chansons plus tard, difficile de ne pas considérer l'électro anglaise des années 90.
I still have a hard time taking purely electronic music seriously. Acts like Underworld, who don't even have a real singer, don't make it any easier. Their album “Second Toughest In The Infants” consists of various kinds of ringtones, which are, at least, layered in a rhythmically coherent way. Is that a creative achievement? I don't think so.
Wishlist version of Nine Inch Nails with less creativity and bite.
I needed an Anacin two minutes in.
“ it’s okay Tim, not every genre is going to be for you….” I gave it a good though!
The author cant be serious with this nonsense. Let me save you some time. Just listen to the first minute of every track and you have the full experience. Skip around the songs if you want, all you'll get is incoherent mumbling and awful staccato beats. Its like when you're trying to hear someone speak and they just dont speak loud enough, and there is awful eurobeats pumping around you.
Groan, another electronica album. The overly repetitive loops make my head hurt.
Even in my second attempt to get into this one I I couldn't. I ended up skipping around just looking for something redeeming
Uh...no.
bad one :)
First song is the best one, legit banger. The rest kinda fade into the background.
Bom bompie bom bom, bompie bom bom, bompie bom bom. Wat is dit ongelofelijk saai. Toing toing, toingtoing, toing toing, toingtoing. Vijf kwartier lang herhaling. Bonk, bonkbonkbonk, bonk, bonkbonkbonk.
La electrónica no me gusta y no entiendo mucho tampoco. No es lo mío.
Don’t like edm
Back with the noise pollution.
These electronic british albums are really testing my patience, seems like I hit the wall if this was a marathon
Yeah, you could not get more repetitive and padded-with-unabashed-filler than this. That was my thought at first. And that was my thought for most of the album. Juanita / Kiteless / To Dream Of Love... is this opening track supposed to be representative of progressive music? There's hardly any progression to speak of. The rhythm and tempo remain exactly the same for all 16 minutes and 36 seconds. The strongest part of the song is around the 13-minute mark, when some fairly good modern-sounding vocals come in and the percussion is completely cut out to give the ears some space. Otherwise, the song mainly consists of this one irritating electronic percussion pattern. Which wouldn't be so bad if it were 3-4 minutes long... but 16 minutes? Nah, man. I got places to be. I got In Rainbows sitting right there on my Spotify homepage giving me the sexy eyes. Banstyle / Sappy's Curry is marginally better, at least for the first half. But then the synth soundscape starts, beginning with a two-chord pattern that slowly builds over the course of seven minutes. By the final few minutes of the song, the atmosphere is positively orgasmic. Reminiscent of the middle section of Pink Floyd's Echoes, and every bit as good. I'm not exaggerating. (Though it could be that all the preceding slog let me to temper my expectations.) It's not like a carbon-copy of Echoes, though. You can hear plenty of futuristic-sounding production to cement this record firmly in the 90s. The remaining tracks never hit the same peak as track 2. Confusion The Waitress, despite beginning with a promising drumbeat, falls into the repetitiveness trap (which electronic artists think makes for good music. Yeah, I don't get it either). Those mumbly vocals can't be good for the ears. Following that, Pearl's Girl does the same thing with repetition, this time for almost 10 minutes. At least we get some vaguely decent synths. Air Towel? Just shy of 8 minutes of the same 1-bar melody, accompanied by poorly enunciated whispering of some lyric or other? No thanks. At this point in the album I felt kind of bad for the Underworld fellas, so I gave Blueski a like (despite it just being one looped riff on an acoustic guitar). It helped that it was only 3 minutes long. Stagger is a pretty solid way to end the album, though: the keyboard lines are quite pretty and wouldn't be out of place in an underwater-themed retro video game. It beats most of the other songs any day of the week. So much wasted time on here, though. Less than a third of the album runtime is actually listenable. 1/5 Key tracks: Banstyle / Sappy's Curry, Stagger
I couldn't listen to all of it, it's just too long and boring.
No solo odio a este álbum, sino que también odio a cada persona que afirma disfrutar esta música.
Why is this here? Why am I here? Why?
Absolutely no idea what I’m getting into with this album. I’ve never heard of the group, so I’m guessing it’s electronic from the United Kingdom. The title, Second Toughest in the Infants sounds like an infant named the record. I don’t get a good feeling about this, but I’m diving in. By the by, it turns out the album was named by a preschooler. Track 1, and I can already hear the stupid electronic drums beating out a rhythm only a computer would love. Ugh. The song is called Juanita:Kitless:To Dream of Love. Oh, now a robot is singing. I don’t understand how electronic music with no groove ever became popular. I will admit, as the song plays on for what seems like an eternity, I find myself moving my leg up and down like I’m waiting for test results. It could be that energy shot I took 15 minutes ago, but it's probably the music. Not sure that’s what Underworld was trying to accomplish with their life’s work, but it does make for decent background music while you work. Damn, track 1 is 16 minutes long. The whole album is over an hour long. I knew I had too good a start to the week with Iggy Pop and ZZ Top to keep that streak going. Hmmm, Pop Top. Track 2 is Banstyle/Sappys Curry, and it literally sounds like music you’d hear in the background of a late-night TV ad hawking some Ron Popeil gadget. This music is made for TV show montages and background music. Track 2 is also around 15 minutes long, and midway through the song, it sounds like something that would be played in the movie version of Miami Vice. Maybe Crockett and Tubbs are sneaking up on the Cuban drug dealers in the shipyard as Crockett’s main squeeze is being held hostage. But otherwise, this song has been background music. Track 3 is Confusion the Waitress and to be honest, I didn’t even notice it was a new track until about 4 minutes into the song. Not a good sign. This is just chill music that kind of hypnotizes you. It’s actually making me sleepy. Track 4 is Rowla, and it’s waking me back up. It’s actually starting to annoy me. The bass is pumping constantly. It’s the stereotypical bass pumping that you do when you make fun of dance clubs. This album came out in 1996, maybe they were the kings of boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. This song sounds like what would be playing in a Mission: Impossible movie as Tom Cruise chases the bad guy across the rooftops of Prague. They parkour and make these long-distance jumps until they finally reach one that's a bit longer than the others. The bad guy tries to make it, falls short, and splats on the ground. Cruise yells out a loud, but short, “NO!” before returning to his team to report the bad guy’s demise, before they got the crucial information from him. Track 5, Pearl’s Girl, sounds very similar to track 4. Though this is more drum and bass, I think. I’m slowly becoming an expert. This annoying bit of trash is slowly winning me over. It’s noise, but in a good way. And now there are vocals, or at least a dude yelling loudly. Track 6 is called, Air Towel, and after a cup of coffee, I’m really starting to bop that leg up and down. Again, I think it may be the caffeine more than the enjoyment of this music. In fact, I’m more tolerating the music than enjoying it at this point. The Tony Kornheiser Show is calling to me more and more. Track 7, Blueski, sounds like it has….guitars? It must be a sample. Back in the day, I loved a band called Tesla. Tesla was a band out of time, as in, they became popular during the hair metal era, but they weren’t really hair metal. They did write some great ballads, but for the most part, they wore no makeup or frilly blouses. They were jeans and a t-shirt and rock and roll, with a twin-guitar attack brought to you by Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch. The reason I bring Tesla up is that in the liner notes of their albums, they would always put “No machines!” in there. So, what does that mean? I thought it meant they weren’t using synths or keyboards like some of these other bands were starting to use. I say all that to say this, with Underworld, I think they would have put “All machines!” in their liner notes. That’s a long way around to get here…I don’t think that’s a real guitar being played on Blueski. Track 8 is called Stagger and I LOVE this song. Holy crapballs! Why didn’t they do this the whole album? It is still all machines, but the singing has passion, and the song makes me feel a certain way that doesn’t involve me writing a movie scene. This song is like a real song. I think that’s why I like it. And I’m sure it’s not the greatest song ever written, but Underworld put me through so much robot rock that when they actually deliver a real song, it’s great. This album isn’t for me. I’m sure all the ravers have this on their Mount Rushmore, but if you aren’t into dance music or electronic music, this album won’t bring you over to the dark side. But if you like that sort of thing and you haven't heard this album, you should check it out.
This list asked me to spend over an hour listening to this album. Time I won’t be able to get back, but I very much wish I could. What a waste of time. 1/5
Another boring, British electronica album that is only suitable for hold music
long techno album. Could be a good background album I guess, but not my speed
una pija aburridisimo
Cool looking cover. Unfortunately, the music verges on unpleasant for me. Again, techno with this overlay of vocals intended to give the dry dull skeleton some soul. Buried in an excessively long package - 1 hour 13 minutes! - the CD era did us no favors, as this kind of music was cheap to make and distribute on that medium. And because everything from synth to speaker is digital, it didn't have any pesky issues in engineering. Unimaginative and lifeless.
A slog. First non-finisher.
The American people are tired of these overly long and repetitive electronica albums
I don’t think I want to know who was the most toughest in the infants. Nor do I want to know who approved that as a standard of measure.
I don’t do ecstasy and my club days at Ultra are behind me.
Shite
Ok. Safe to say I’m not an electronics fan. I just don’t get it.
Beyond tired of the electronica genre
Achei o álbum medíocre. Eu não tenho o hábito de ouvir música eletrônica, porém quando ouço normalmente gosto das músicas. Este não foi o caso, porque o álbum era bastante parado, não tinha letras, e ele como um todo era muito confuso.
Je suis d'accord avec Félix.
Le techno est une métaphore parfaite de tout ce qui va mal avec la société moderne.
If this is the 2nd toughest, the bar is really low for 1st place
Давненько не ставил единичек)
eugh
1 - TERRIBLE
when you listen to this piece you keep checking the song that has been playing for the past 15 minutes and realize that you're not even half way through the song. Why does the song keep changing IN the song. I liked the production so clap clap for that. Thumbs down.
i think we can all agree that the mark of truly great music is that it's enjoyed almost exclusively by people under the effects of a drug that increases your pleasure and energy, and we are blessed to live in a world where all of England's most insufferable head trauma victims produced an apparently inexhaustible supply of this stuff in the 90s. I'm just curious why these hard working dolts thought they had to make every album 70 excruciating minutes long, when you could just play the first track from any of them on repeat and none of the people rolling in the club would be able to tell the difference anyway, hell I'm sober and I can't tell the difference!
i think people who enjoy techo should reflect whether they actually like techno or its just the drugs they take at raves that they enjoy
Oh my - EDM with similar beats for 13 minutes and me without any ecstasy or dance floor :(
I managed thirty seconds of each song and even that was too much
Not a fan
Dreadful
Sorry, but I don't want a video game going off in my ear for 45 minutes. That's what this sounds like. Not my thing.
I thought this sucked from the start and then the vocalist came in to show me it can be worse
Really not my thing. Just not my style of music. Feels like you're listening to something stuck on repeat. Even the last track STAGGER - which felt more like a song - did nothing for me. Was just getting irritated listening to it. Felt like that episode of Frasier where Daphne has the song 'flesh in burning, na-na-na-na-na-nah' stuck in her head.
Not keen on this, needs to be on a club
An hour and a half of hold music on Hell’s phone line
Yuck. I didn’t like this at all.
I cannot listen to this. Elevator music at best.
This album doesn’t belong on this list. 90s club electronica, and a decent example, but there’s nothing eye opening or groundbreaking. The genre doesn’t lend itself to being inspiring
I don't listen to much electronic stuff, so this is highly subjective: This was horrible, I couldn't bring myself to finish it. To me it sounds boring an uninspired.
Day686 - i got a headache about pearls girl and it didn’t go away
Not Good in my Ears
Why would anyone chose to listen to this... Under the influence of drugs?? Underground goth techo rave?? Brain has turned to mush?? Diet of Mountain Dew and Cheetos?? Grok is their main news feed?? Background music to a Rocket League montage with 14 views?? Trying to be edgy and ragebait people with your music views?? If you enjoy this, you need to sort your life out. Dodging the predator register like Trumps dodging the Epstein files....
Ugh
I'm not into this kind of music. Everything lasts too long with minimal variation. The loops go on and on and it's just an exhausting listen.
The music was bad but the length was what drove me into angry territory.
No thanks
Clever totle
Been a while since I got an English club record, I thought “hey I’m in a good mood, I’ll give it a blank slate fair chance!” Still stunk
Great album with its own unique sound.
Bloody hell I hated this. Absolute slog to get through. All I know of them is Born Slippy which is an all time banger of a tune so I had high hopes for this. Instead I was left utterly bored and disappointed.
The song titles are cracking me up. The repetitive nature of electronic music gives me a headache, and the songs are so long.
Meh
Am I a skins character right now?
nope
1/10
Definitely not my thing but good for them.
p790. 1996. 1 star. 90s techno. Tedious beyond belief. Hard pass.
Usually can handle stuff like this but it's was just all the same song and just went on and on. Maybe would be better on different drugz
sucked
Just a rough listen for me
This was so incredibly boring. I think even when I listened to EDM back in the day, I would not have liked this album.
Aphex Vibes but no where near as good. First track became boring as hell after 5 or so mins. second tune is babba, could sit through it so boring. bobbed a little confusing the waitress. some really nice synths and interesting effects, its just nothing seems to go anywhere. Rowla is somebody messing with a filter on the same 2 bar loop for 6 mins. Its pretty shit, could vibe to it. Time has never moved so slow as listening to pearls girl. Some interesting ideas, maybe i need to listen to it in on ecstasy or in a different setting to enjoy it.
starter ret bling bling agtigt. Hader første sang. Hader også næste sang.
My hair isn’t enough different colors to enjoy this.
Sweet Christ, how many fucking Techno albums are on this thing??? I thought to myself “Well, this one is only 8 tracks long, at least it’s short”, but fuck me if this damn thing still doesn’t clock in over the hour mark 😒. Maybe this shit slaps if your online handle is Zero Cool and the feds won’t let you touch a computer again until your 18th birthday or if you got a bunch of molly in your pocket, but if you’re a normal person it’s kinda noisy & repetitive. I bailed after 4 songs which was still 43 god damn agonizing minutes of R2D2 noises.
Not crazy about techno "music". This was just boring repetitive noise.
i knew this wouldn't be for me, i swear i tried but no it's not for me
This was not for me. This was just consistent noise and I couldn’t listen to it all
Way too long. If you're into electronic music then maybe this is something you need to listen to before you die, but the average person could definitely skip this one.
I can't imagine why you would want to sit down and listen to thjis start to finish. This is club music -- that's it. Monotonous and boring after 10 minutes.
Meh electronic music
Is this good electronica? No clue. Has electronica contributed meaningfully to misic? Hard maybe. Is there a reasonable argument that digital recording has actually damaged music over time? Yup. Is it one of the 1,001 albums that everyone should listen to? Fuck no.
Another electronica album that blends in with the crowd. I really don't know enough about the genre to tell the key differences in these albums, but I know there aren't any hooks or riffs that completely pull me in, and that hurts my enjoyment of this quite a lot. I did like the back half of Banstyle/ Sappys Curry, but not enough to add a 15 minute track to my playlist, so I'm going with Rowla instead.
Meh
uhhhhh no thanks Will I listen to again: 0%
After a while it all sounded the same to me.
1996. Late 90's club electro music. repetitive and droning
Unknown band. Not my vibe at all. I find this type of music too 'repetitive' and 'head pounding'.
this sounds like stuff i would have heard while getting my hair cut at the Visible Changes in the mall where they constantly showed fashion shows on the tv
Junge, was eine hundsbeschissene Musik. Der Wechsel zwischen den Stilen und den Rhythmen hat mir absolut 0 gefallen. Ist nicht meine Musikrichtung und ich bin froh das es für heute vorbei ist.
Some substance here and there, but the rest is soulless background music
"Second Toughest In The Infants" is really tough to listen. Being honest, I wanted to finish in the middle of the album, so was hard to end it. The loop on the sound makes it harder. Was a suffer to my ears.
Very monotonous, stressful listening. I suspect it was real 'had to be there' music. There, in this instance, being a club, off your rocker.
Bleepedy blooping bloop
Det finns personer som avlidit av tristess när de har hört det här albumet. Det är säkert!
Ugh techno
Had to skip through. Was like listening to a Gran Turismo loading screen.
Not a fan
90s British electronica. Hard pass
I rather listen to the sound of my farts.
1/5
Sweet, a whole album of 90s racing game menu BGM. Hard to appreciate the few creative musical thoughts buried in the techno drone of the absurdly long, relentlessly repetitive electronic loop tracks.
So repetitive
Here's something I've discovered about my musical inclinations. Before we started this project, I was indifferent to rap and hip hop. Just didn't have an appreciation for it and had never really sought out artists to dive into. I can now say I have found a number of hip hop artists who I really enjoy listening to. I've gained a new perspective on the genre. I've also discovered that I have about one minute and thirty seconds worth of tolerance for electronic music. I literally couldn't care less about this album. I wish they'd stop serving so much of it up. It's excessive and mean. P.S. The album title is shit.
Bizarre, droning, weird and unappealing. Maybe better in a club where you aren't actually paying attention to the music, but then what's the point of music if not to pay attention to it? Hard pass
Appreciate the genre but far too repetitive for me. Really uninteresting use of sound. Very very far from what I enjoy listening to - my heart rate was slowly increasing throughout. But not abysmal - just not for me. I'll knock it down a point to reduce our group average, which is misleading.
Nah sorry but I can’t listen to all this. I respect it takes time to make and there are some cool musical sections but there’s no way people actually put that on just to have a listen
No. Techno from the 1980s through the mid-late 2000s will never be something you "Must listen to".
i'm simply not going to sit here and rate edm i'm sorry it's just not happening
1/10 Anyone less find listening to techno for an hour and a half boring? Favourite Song= Least Favourite Song=
Did not like the clamour.
Well blueski is the #1 track because the actually did something other than tell a computer to manufacture a sad beat. That said, didn't really need to listen to this.
The Good: Nice album art The Bad: It’s Techno… The Ugly: TLDL Seriously, I have to sit through 75 minutes of bim-bam-bim-bam repeat if necessary? I like a nice short techno tune like the next person, but an entire album, which might as well be called a double album, with tunes lasting 15 damn minutes… I have encountered my second Waterloo on this list. 1*
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.
Apparently this band was a huge influence on video game composers, that’s cool! The first two tracks (the first half hour)! Is a difficult listen. Then the album just kinda exists and lingers, pearl’s girl is probably the best song but the ambient sections bore me… actually no blueski because it’s short and I guess the guitar is nice??? Still this is what I define as a 1/5
Just utterly tedious
I really learned to respect a bit more electronic music, but 😮💨
no
This is VERY 90s electronica. It took a special ear (and maybe a healthy dose of Molly) to get into this.
Kolme minuuttia kestävän, mielikuvituksettoman blues-tapailun saa kuulostamaan biisiltä, kun muut raidat kestävät vartin (tai jotain). Ei siinä, etteivätkö nämä jumputukset ajoittain kasvaisi jopa miellyttävyyteen saakka. Mutta silti: vähän kunnioitusta, kiitos. 1+
I will be the first to admit that electronic music is not my cup of tea, I can’t not imagine a world where I am in my death bed and remark well thanks be that I listened to Underworld. Why are the tracks so long and so repetitive. I don’t understand it and please don’t try to explain it is a waste of time for all parties. No one can convert me.
It’s really not music so much as computers- definitely not my thing for more than 5 minutes at a time.
There are far, far too many English electronic albums on this list. And much like 90% of all the other albums of the genre I've listened to from this generator, this album is far too long, far too repetitive and not worth mentioning, let alone listen to. I invariably find myself thinking I'm almost done listening to the album and BAM! I'm only on the 2nd song!
slog slog slog could i write poetry to this? n
75 minutes / 8 songs = 1 star
I just don’t like this kind of music with its repetitiveness
Maybe this would be great if I was high. 1.375.
Today was not a day for techno
Ibiza club music. Mind-blowingly numb. 1/5
I have a keyboard. I can make lots of percussive sounds and random noise. That makes me convinced that I could land an album on this list because goddammit I can do the same thing. Or...if I ran a hostage interrogation operation I could use this "music" to torture and break tough prisoners. They would beg me to turn it off. Or...simply put I fucking hated this album. It gets a zero from me.
What da hell
Gotta be honest. I never listened to the last two tracks. I can’t imagine I missed anything mind boggling. Or even worth the 15 minutes.
I listened intently to every trance and electronic sound...and this shit sucks. You mean to tell me there's not a better album that makes the 1001 list? I don't believe you. 1 star
Managed one track before I turned it off. Could be good in a club or in the background while working, but it's not an active-listening album for me.
I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s when it felt like people started to listening to stuff like this. I was TERRIFIED that this was the future of music. Luckily not true.
Not really my cup o’ tea. I couldn’t make it past 4 songs. The timing of the hi hat on the first and third song drove me insane.
Relentlessly dreadful and uninteresting
Ugh. I did not care for this. And I'm very tired of the electronica albums on this list. How many more can their possibly be. When Blueski came on, I was relieved, I thought wow a break from the same stuff over and over again. But I was wrong. Blueski is just the same thing over and over again for 3 minutes. A welcome break from the rest of the album. But also repetitive on it's own. And then Stagger was also whatever.
1. juanita - 1 2. banztyle - 1 3. confuzion - 0 4. pearlz girl - 0 5. air touuel - 1 6. blue zki - 7. ztagger -
Boring
Saarelaisten tekno albumi.. Jahas Jahas..
Not a fan of electronica = 1 star
Yeah I'm not into electronic or techno at all. I prefer people who physically play an instrument in their hands. Literally anybody can make some weird electronic sound on their phone or PC. Not to downplay their success or whatever, but this aint it, boss.
I don't hate *all* techno. But this sucked ass.
Gave me a headache
3 to 5 minutes of interesting music painfully stretched into 73.
Utterly boring electronica.
Nicht meine Musik
Unbearable. I hoped to find more electronic music to enjoy through this and I think my only good find was Justice. I guess I'm never going to be a fan of rhe genre, just a few outliers.
Why are the worst albums always so long? Hard pass on this one.
das beste am album ist der titel und wie er entstand 😀 - elektro, sich wiederholender klangteppich, dance.
No he sido capaz de escucharlo... es electrónica oscura de ultratumba. He leido algo de la banda y me pregunto si MT la conoce. Quizá en otro mood particular podria explorar el album (son 2).
If you like your singing out of tune, this one's definitely for you.
very boring and redundant for me. I'm not an electronic music person so it did absolutely nothing for me. lyrics boring, melodies boring
What the hell?
Really, really bad.
😐 I hate electronica. We’ve been over this already. Boooo urns!
God awful. Absolute trash. Some of the worst sounds I’ve heard in my entire life.
This album should be titled ‘Anxiety Inducing Electronic Nonsense’ I got 14 minutes into track 1, realised the album is like 2 hours and gave up. Terrible. My first project failure. No one needs this in their life. I’m sure if I was in a field gurning my nuts off on day 5 of a life changing bender, in the middle of a field listening to this with a whole load of terrible people I’d thoroughly enjoy it. But in the car, the morning of total toddler meltdowns and stress levels beyond comprehension, this is the last thing anyone needs. 0.5
Well that was pointlessly annoying.
J'aime pas des musiques electro qui font 17min
Ended up listening to Neutral Milk Hotel all day instead.
British electronic music, euhhh ok. Ouverture du bal en blanc. Chansons longues. Pas dérangeant, mais pas nécessairement bon.
It started with me thinking this was actually pretty good and by the time I got to Stagger I literally said outloud to no one "Oh thank God its the last track." This is really high quality techno but it has nothing to say at all. Its long and repetative and abrasive in an annoying, not interesting way. It feels like musical hedonism. Folks who want to get wasted and zone out on this, be my guest but wow do I hate this.
V boring
I don't have 10 hours to devote to techno
theres only like one good song and that doesnt even bump up the rating because its so long all of the songs are so long like the shortest track is 6 minutes
Ugh no.
1+
Not my thing
Not my style now
I am not listening to this album, I have trouble focusing on a 4 minute song let alone a 16 minute one???? Make shorter albums NOW Favorite Tracks: IDC
Dear Great Gods of the Generator, Please stop giving me electronica albums.
Early contender for least favorite album of the project. It gave me a headache. Not for me.
Snooze fest! Starting with a 13 minute song was not my cup of tea. Immediately I dreaded the rest of the album and in my opinion rightfully so. Super boring, super long, that’s all I could think about.
I started listening to this… and then stopped.
What the fuck did I just listen to?
1. Noped myself out of this pretty fast. This would just give me a headache.
I’ll call this, over an hour of me waiting for something interesting to happen. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, I waited in vain. Maybe I would enjoy this if I was cracked up, but for now, it makes me want to tear my ears off and ask “why me?”. 1/5
Okay for background noise but not much else. Does anyone like techno/electronica? Not me. 1 point.
Listened to 20 seconds of the first track…cmon
not my thing
I did try
Don’t like 2 out of 10
Well that was tedious, not irritating or painful or disturbing, just plain boring; with nothing whatsoever to distinguish itself from the sounds heard in lifts around the world. Nothing more to say
"Banstyle" was listenable enough. That's all.
Cover art: I like the cover. 4/5. Not iconic tho.
From now on any and all electronica trchno albums get a 1. Seriously how many of these do we need on this list?
Don't like it, sounds spooky.
