Kilimanjaro

Very dreary

p468. 1980. 2 star. This has not aged well. Average songs and dreadful lyrics. One great song ("Reward") but that's it.

1. ha - 1.5 2. gaz - 1 3. treazon - 1.5 4. head - 1.5 5. poppiez - 2 6. crazy - 1 7. brave - 1 8. babiez - 0 9. bookz - 1 10. thief - 1.5 11. dream - 1 12. reuuard - 1.5 13. jaro - 1 14. znouu - 0 15. uze - 1 16. traizon - 2 17. zleeping - 1.5

Not for me.

- irgendwie eher nichts sagend bzw hat mich einfach nicht gecatcht

Why have I never heard of this before?! I'll tell you why. I really like post punk/new wave, and could just fancy a bi' o' Bri'ish music, but this was quite dull most of the time. Started to get a little more interesting at the end of the album, can't tell if that was the case or I was just looking forward to it ending. Sounds like it looks. Two stars knocked down to one for their influence on Morrissey. Fuck him. One star.

you wait around, look around and wander around. yes we get it - Unfortunately this album is a little tooooo consistent for me, as in I'd struggle to pick them apart in a line up. I did like the music but the lyrics just did nothing for me.

Every track sounds identical. Why would you do this.

Rough listen. It was kind of generic and didn’t feel like they knew what kind of music they wanted to make, nor did it feel like they really cared.

Early 80s music, did not enjoy.

Man, no way this belongs on the list. Post punk with occasional spacey keyboards. Extremely boring. One star. Another case of a band that’s only on the list because it’s from the UK.

I don’t know how else to describe it, but the overt “British innit” thick British accent singing is terrible to my ears.

Well this fucking sucked

Terrible, innit. Boring and repetitive riffs, nonsensical lyrics, just couldn't listen to it. I found myself skipping a majority of the songs.

0/10. Shit.

dull 80's music

No thank you

Meh. Over all these British rock bands not named The Beatles

It was alright I guess, just clearly not my style of music.

Pass - failed new wave?

Like an echo and the bunny men like sounding band? Not as good? I guess Treason is fine?

80s new wave garbage. All the songs sound the same and the singers voice bothers me. 👎🏻

Mediocre post-punk. Feels like one continuous average track. Least creative basslines I've heard in a while.

A perfect example of the music I hated in the 80's. 1 star or F.

80's Brit pop. Turned off during the 2nd song (Sleeping Gas) when it sounded like the record was skipping. It was not, it was intentional and unnecessary. Not a fan

In a nutshell: surreal The lyrics are woefully written. The combination of post-punk and psychedelic synthpop doesn't work. It is something I'd expect to hear in the background of a shitty 80s soap who couldn't get the rights to an ABC or Simple Minds track. Overall: 1/10

Genre-ly speaking, this is the kind of stuff I love. Unfortunately, this album misses the mark, and the one thing I can absolutely point to is how most of these tracks ultimately devolve beyond mere refrain into an endless loop that feels downright burdensome. I hated when "Message In A Bottle" did it, and I hate it here, too. Shame - because there are some elements on this album that could have been used for greatness. It hurts me, but I have to fail this.

I want to kilimanjaro this album. It's just generic 1980s British Pop, and it gets boring quickly. What a disappointing way to close out 2024. Favorite Song: "When I Dream".

This album is awful. Not a single song I enjoyed. Extremely repetitive and just honestly terrible. I also find it funny that the most played song from this album wasn't even on the original release of the album and was released in 2000 as a bonus track...

O pouco que ouvi devido às restrições do Spotify conseguiu ser totalmente descartável.

Terrible stuff

This sounds like junior varsity police and I hated every dreadful second of it

So irritating

Nothing psychodelic about it

Relentless 80s pop that was very repetitive. Didn't finish the album. Or did I??

This is so forgettable! I don't see how I needed to hear this before I died.

It sucked

Blech. Seriously, just…blech. Tough to get through.

There’s a lot here that I wanted to like. New wave, punk, reggae influence and a cool sound and aesthetic, but the bones of these songs are not good.

TF was this

Terrible

Nicht meine Richtung

Very goofy and dated. Also frustratingly borderline discordant at times. Not a very appealing listen, and a lot of the songs overstay their welcome far too long. Nothing really positive to say, and largely forgettable.

So much 80s indistinguishable british pop albums on this list that I'm starting to think that the project was started just to give some wanker the material to justify making his mates listen to crap music that only he likes. 1/5

Just awful. Some attempts at post-punk/pre New Romantics sounds but shitty vocals and unreproducible melodies. Listening to this a waste of whatever time you have left on Earth.

Generic Smiths. Enough with the English wanker music.

Wow, I did not like this. I found it to be extremely repetitive and unenjoyable.

We've gotta do better as a group. This ain't it

Pure shit. Who actually likes this nonsense?

"I want the Smiths" "We have the Smiths at home" (puts on these clowns)

"I just wander around/I just wander around/I just wander around/I j--" No kidding. As soon as I heard the corny, plastic horns at the beginning I knew I was in trouble. Just another subpar 80s British pop record. "Neo-psychedelic"? Get out of my face. Nadir: Brave Boys Keep Their Promises

Føler at jeg lytter til den CD med baggrundsmusik, som pan-fløjte gøgleren på Strøget bruger... Jeg er ved at være lidt træt af "essentielt" britisk musik fra 80'erne...

Very hard listen to me. It started as bearable, but as long as the tracks passed by, it slowly got in my nerves.

Another day, another brit pop album, nearly at 150 albums and I don't think I've gotten a good one yet

Oh man. I got on this elevator and the music put me into such a stupor I was barely able to press the button and stumble off and out on the fourth floor. If I'd kept going It would have left me comatose.

pass

This is what it would sound like if the Talking Heads sucked.

Jeg hader alt ved det her lort.

Did not like

Was intrigued by neo-psychedelic, pretty disappointed by the fairly generic 80s Brit pop rock sound. Should have Zevon on the list instead of this.

Very repetitive.

VERY DATED NOT FOR ME. KINDA BLAH

(regarding 1001 journey: Lately I've been on a down streak and I've come to realize it is not the 1001 best albums, just ones you should hear for better or worse) This album almost had me going, ready to really take it over the coals, until I eventually picked up that it is a joke album, or satire. I should have expected it when the for track literally has "Ha Ha" in the title, but it wasn't until track 5, "Poppies" before I figured it out. Unfortunately every track seems to be making the same joke over and over which eventually got dull, then it kept going on and on to where I had to wonder if maybe it really was just a terrible album and not actually a joke. Now I don't know what is worse. Favorite track: "Poppies in the Field"---because it made me realize it was a joke. 1/5

I don’t know man. This one was hard to get through

Didn’t finish the album. Did not enjoy.

So much did not like this

Feel like I would need to use Quaaludes to fully appreciate this album

Ok, not the worst album I've hear on this list, but it's close LOL. Seriously these lyrics are laughable! Maybe this was impressive in 1980, but now it sounds like something you could generate with Ai. Not good.

Passive Listening Notes: IM SO TIRED OF THIS HIPPY SHIT FUCKKKKK Most of the songs blend together, Ha Ha I'm Drowning \ Sleeping Gas > Tuned out this drivel. 2.5/5 Treason / Second Head - Decent, liked the chorus. 2.7/5 Poppies - This guy never gets tired of waiting. Didn't like chorus, sound, or vibes. Not through any fault of its own, just tired of the sameness. 2/5 Went Crazy - Some shit about boys vs girls and he is pain? 2/5 Brave Boys Keep Their Promises - I actually don't care 2/5 Bouncing Babies - God's bounciest baby, was a bit better than previous shit, 2.5/5 Books - Stopped listening by this point Thief of Baghdad - Stopped listening by this point When I Dream - Stopped listening by this point Reward - Stopped listening by this point Extra Tracks: Not reviewing any other shit except for "Use Me" because it sounds like it goes hard Use Me - A couple of the YEAAAHHWOWOAOOAs were cool, rest of the song was 6 different lines repeated over and over with shit ass strings in the background. 0/5 for not living up to the name Overall: 1/5

Awful

Æj. Þetta fannst mér leiðinlegt. Beið bara eftir að platan kláraðist.

Nicht mein Geschmack

Meh

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

Meh.

Could not get through this one

Painful

When I first encountered the name "Kilimanjaro" (it is the tallest mountain in Africa for those who don't know), I thought it was a kickass name. One of the names that I would consider when I form a band or something. It's a shame that the name is given to a terrible trumpet-infused '80s psych-rock parody.

classico album dos anos 80. todas musicas soam iguais, so o tempo que muda. da pra dançar pelo menos. talvez eu gostasse se eu tivesse ouvindo numa pista de dança a 40 anos atras.

Overstylized & boring

Couldn’t get through this one.

Niks an

Not a fan

Not my style nor impressed with this album. The only thing I will compliment is the album’s cover. Love the beauty in all animals and this safari setting

Yuck
