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.

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

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

Nicht mein Geschmack

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

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
