Reviews (page 7 of 8)
Das war etwas stressig für meine Ohren.
I really don’t know what to make of this. Most of it I find forgettable and not interesting. I don’t see why people like it. I would say maybe it will grow on me but I doubt I’ll listen again.
Its the music that plays in the last 5 minutes of any cable drama's season finale, where the audience gets slow-motion cuts of what each of the characters is doing as the main protagonist walks (also in slow-motion) out of their house and into the 'mysterious new world.' This is just not for me. Its over-produced with too much distortion and vocals that make me want to stab my eardrums. I gave it a listen, and its the last time I ever will.
Why the fuck have this band got 3 albums on this list. Apart from the fact that each track and album is almost indistinguishable from the other, it just sounds awful. I couldn't have said it better than this fellow reviewer "If you want to listen to 45 minutes of a dude playing with an effects pedal while people moan incoherently, this is the album for you."
Hey. You wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
Bloody mess! Ugh
There is a quote that I, of course, cannot find that I believe was attributed to Lou Reed. Whether or not he said it, or anything like it, the sentiment was "people believed the Velvet Underground/Warhol guys to be so cool, but really they just sort of did nothing." This potentially imaginary musing played in my head, as my dopamine addicted brain yearned for something other than what it was hearing. My word, this was nothing. Endlessly vibrating, but not noisy. There were attempts at melody, but I think they were purposely so abstract and limp, that one could conceivably still say they weren't trying. I wanted to like this. This band has a lot of cache in music nerd circles and I was anticipating some interesting riffs with perhaps a buzzy, melancholy drone. That sounded like a great recipe for an album I could feel superior about. Instead, we just got grey noise with horrendous vocals and an overall pallor of death. This was a thoroughly unpleasant 48 minutes. Just an awful experience, and not even in a cathartic way. 0 HIGHLIGHTS: "On closer inspection, these are loafers."
I do so dislike it when they have a curtain of crackle between the listener and the music. Its not big and it's not clever, its just plain annoying. Thankfully it only lasted for the first few tracks. Unfortunately it hadn't been concealing anything of value. Musically there was nothing worthy of comment and the vocals were too indistinct for actual words the be discerned, and too muffled to be called a melody. It's a big fat 1 from me.

When I listen to an album this terrible, I think about all the people involved in the making of it and how not one of them thought this was a bad idea.
Just what I needed in my life. Another album that made me believe I was tripping my balls off while listening to it. This could very easily have been the sound track to a Stanley Kubrick movie because I have no idea what any of it was about. When there was vocals, it was breathy, foggy, and purposefully layered behind the instrumentals to make it difficult to grasp any of the words. When it was just the instruments, it was chaotic, aggressive, and so repetitive that you wanted to be institutionalized to get away from it. It’s not a matter of would I listen to this again, I don’t think I have the mental capacity to endure it after the first attempt.
I really thought I couldn't hate anything more than electronic music, I was wrong. I hate this more.
Most of this album sounded like either a) a radio station that was really going out of tune (mostly static) or possibly some kind of music that was way over-amped? or b) a skipping record. Did not enjoy.
if you want to know why the youts of today aren't having sex as much as past generations, just listen to this album. 1/5
I hadn’t heard of this band before, and it’s not really my sort of thing. One star...
Dreary, dull and largely tuneless. Wouldn’t listen again.
Too atmospheric for my taste, very boring and annoying.
I don't think shoegaze is bad but I do think my bloody valentine is bad three albums for this band on the list man
1 stern
I don’t think I could hate an album more than this. This sounds like the noise a neighbors lawnmower makes next to your bedroom window at 6 AM on a Saturday. Muffled white noise guitar with whiny whisper vocals. No treble or bass. It also, somehow continues to get worse throughout. Really just awful. And in a very annoying, irritating way. 1/5.
Thats a no for me dawg
3/10
What's the actual point? Of a so long collection of songs that are merely instrumental with very airy vocals. And they are also soporific. Honestly, I can't find anything to like in here. For this to be called music is like a joke for me. To make very dreamy, monotonous songs doesn't imply you are interesting at all. And this album is not, either.
Noise. I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me the guitar part in this was made to purposefully induce headaches in a lab testing environment.
I’ve decided that I will make my reviews in quatrains. Here goes: The numbing drone of indie guitars A fitting soundtrack to review your scars Singer quietly croons And understands your wounds.
It was not my taste whatsoever to be honest... It was all just noise to me, with each track just blending into the next. It was one of those albums where you kind of just want it to end, in my opinion. I found no interest in any of the tracks, and after listening to the first one, I hoped that it was just a one-off and that the other songs would sound different and have a bit more to them, but they didn't. The vocals were lost in a reverby, distorted mess in most of it, so there was nothing really that stood out to pay attention to or give any interest towards. There were no tracks that stood out to me in this album, unfortunately.
Eyeroll. Now I have to go and thumbs-down all these songs so my streaming service doesn't play any of this shit again
It takes a lot for me to give an album a 1, but this accomplished that in less than 3 songs.
I was not expecting shoegaze. Was expecting more emo. Not really a fans and kinda disappointed tbh. I guess you could have sex to some of these songs. This is very similar to cigarettes after sex in the sense that every song sounds the same. The last two songs are grating. I want this to end
Not our vibe
Nope. Just no.
I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing ever did. This album is very much not my thing.
1.25 - There are some moments where I can recognize this is good music, but many more where I do not. I don't like this any more than I did the last time I tried it.
Awful
This is now my third My Bloody Valentine album I’ve listened to and I just can’t get into it. It’s all just sound and noise to me.
Rock/ punk, not sure. Strange music.
I enjoyed the vocals and the guitars a little bit, but a lot of the album just felt like noise for the sake of noise...
Boring schoegazer mcguffins
By the end, I felt on the verge of a panic attack. Absolute tripe.
Knew the artist name but had never knowingly listened to anything by them. Very floaty vocal and fuzzy loud guitar: I thought, in the right mood, I could potentially like it, but I was clearly not in the right mood as I listened to the first 1 and a half tracks and then abandoned the whole album until the next day. 24 hours later and I don't like it any better. Only Tomorrow seems long and plodding with not enough ideas for its runtime. Then Who Sees You did basically the same thing. They seem to enjoy bending notes in a way that makes it sound like you're listening to it on faulty turntable that's struggling to run at a consistent speed. I abandoned any attempt to comment individually on specific tracks at this point, because they pretty much all sounded the same to me (though I didn't totally hate New You). In general, the longer it went on, the more bored I became. I was unsurprised to learn it was in the 2014 version of the book, but then got removed by later revisions. It's not as dreadful as other albums I've given a 1 star to, but 2 stars would be laughable, so: 1/5
Not a fan of this. it all sounded the same 1/5
There were moments in a few songs where something happened and I found it interesting, things that in other songs would lead into a greater, more interesting picture. Those moments in this record just kind of went on and on and never really led to anything. I don't like this record.
noise
Three from these noisemakers on this list is madness. Reverb and distortion wrecks the music and completely masks the vocals, if even there are any - I couldn’t even tell on a couple or three songs.
i d g i
Is this even music? What is this?
A different kind of boring.
wa is deze existentiële crisis kan mss goe zijn op heeel specifieke momenten 1.5
???
I don’t mind weird music, but weird music that seems like the band was completely uninterested in being here is the worst. This is probably one of the top 10 worst albums I have ever heard. At least it made me want to turn it off and listen to Failure
Previously unknown. Too noisy for me.
Mam wrażenie, jakby nagrywali to na kalkulatorze i miksowali na pralce automatycznej. Nie wytrwałem dwóch kawałków.
I get My Bloody Valentine and My Chemical Romance mixed up. I don't think either are my scene.
What a horrible night to have ears. Look, I'm a fan of Ride, Sonic Youth, I don't mind some some fuzz, some "sonic landscapes", some whooshing, but this is pretty fucking bad. At least Loveless has some catchy tunes amidst the murk. Nothing redeeming here though.
Excuse me, while I go hang myself.
Meh
Wow. This is just awful and unlistenable.
What even is this? Why?! Seriously, WHY?! It's boring, it never ends, and says nothing.
This sounded like someone learned how to play the drone string on a banjo and forgot that they needed melody to go with it in order to ACTUALLY MAKE A GOOD SONG. Drove me spare. Occasionally I'd hear something reminiscent of a lyric, only to wonder if I actually heard anything. No. This is not music. My bloody Valentine? More like my BORING Valentine. I'd rather listen to Kid Rock. At least he can modulate his voice and speak above a whisper. My Rating: 1/5
Noisy rubbish. Did not enjoy
Why so bad
I liked the first track..... It would have made a great (interesting) opening track if that's what it was but then every track after that turned out to be the same.... whispery vocals with badly played guitar effects over the top.
Depressing Shoegaze / Noise Pop. This album took 16 years to record due to the band breaking-up 1 year into recording, and even after reuniting 9 years later, it still took another 6 years - but I wish they hadn't bothered. I'm surprised that the band reunited because the thought of continuing with the making of this dreary album would have not have appealed to me. How this album received critical acclaim and was named among the best albums of 2013 is totally beyond me - I don't remmeber 2013 being that bad.
If there was a '1001 Albums I never want to listen to again' I would put this one on that list.
Calling it dogshit is disrespectful to dogshit
No words needed, just no
Very dreamy. I could never really get into My Bloody Valentine. I like one of their songs, but ir’s all kind of boring to me. I prefer fast stuff to slow, melancholy, dreamy stuff. Fav song is ‘nothing is’.
terrible audio quality, boring and uninteresting songs.
Started out awful and got worse as it went on
Odd choice idk why it’s on here
This is a very noisy album. It starts off as a cacophony of distortion and ends the same way. The middle part sounds like the band Air and none of it goes anywhere. It's very rare for me to be irritated by music but this has reached that level.
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a My Bloody Valentine album before. Going in, I was half-expecting depressed-teenager / emo vibes, so I pressed play on mbv with an open mind. This can be summed up very simply: listening to this album was a miserable experience. The vocals are buried to the point of being unintelligible, the sound is endlessly droney, and nothing ever really goes anywhere. It feels shapeless and joyless, like a wall of grey noise with no hook, no tune, and no payoff. I get that this is “the point” for some people, but for me it was truly dreadful. Favourite tracks: I honestly couldn’t pick one. Every track blurs into the next, like indistinct mumbling background noise that offers absolutely nothing. Least favourite tracks: She Found Now, Is This and Yes – some of the most boring, aimless tracks I’ve ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Album artwork: Really cool cover. Easily the best thing about the album.
They could use this album as a means of interrogating prisoners of war. Zero stars.
Pas du tout du tout mon truc
Ambient music but not the kind of ambiance I would ever want
Too much reverb for my liking
My Bloody Valentine ist eine irisch-britische Band, die mit m b v 2013 nach über zwanzig Jahren ihr erstes Studioalbum veröffentlichte. Die Aufnahmen entstanden über einen langen Zeitraum hinweg, überwiegend in Kevin Shields’ eigenen Studios sowie in weiteren privaten Studios in Irland und England. Inhaltlich und klanglich knüpft das Album direkt an die Arbeitsweise der frühen 1990er Jahre an, ohne nostalgisch zu wirken. Musikalisch bewegt sich m b v im Spannungsfeld von Shoegaze und Alternative Rock. Charakteristisch sind stark verfremdete Gitarren, schwebende Drones und eine zurückhaltende, oft fast im Klangbild aufgelöste Gesangsführung. Stücke wie „She Found Now“, „Only Tomorrow“ oder „Wonder 2“ zeigen unterschiedliche Facetten dieses Ansatzes: von dichten, langsamen Klangflächen bis zu rhythmisch verschobenen, beinahe technoid wirkenden Strukturen. Das Album wirkt geschlossen und konsequent, verzichtet auf klare Hits zugunsten einer durchgängigen Atmosphäre und fordert konzentriertes Hören. m b v bestätigt My Bloody Valentine als Band, die ihre eigene Ästhetik weiterentwickelt, statt sie zu reproduzieren.
Irritating like a short blanket.
If you want to listen to 45 minutes of a dude playing with an effects pedal while people moan incoherently, this is the album for you. 1⭐️
This is not music to my ears. On Nothing Is it sounded like stuck on a scratch vinyl.
Gave me a headache and turned it off midway through song 3. You know it's edgy because of all of the lowercase letters.
Shoegaze dream pop. The first and last few songs have way too much noise. The middle songs are less so and slightly more enjoyable. "nothing is" is terribly monotonous. loveless is better and innovative.
Not for me. 1/5
For some reason I had never heard this band. I was actually excited when it got assigned to me. I was really looking forward to listening to it. I thought "oh, maybe this is a cool band that I can discover". Nope. There's nothing there that grabs me. No beat. No melody. No interesting lyrics. No emotion. No highs, no lows. No twists, no turns. Just endless monotony. It's not even offensive, it's just boring nothingness. I listened to it twice and, somewhere along the way, forgot I even had it on. It just drones on and on and on. Even when it continued playing back at the first song after going through the whole album the first time, I didn't realize I had already heard it before. There are no memorable songs on this one - at all. Apparently this took 22 years from their last album to make. Seems like something someone could have knocked out in an afternoon just fucking around with some effects pedals. I saw that this site is going to give me other albums by this band - so I'm bracing for a similar experience - but hoping/wishing it's somehow better. I read that the "shoegaze" genre was inspired by songs like Tomorrow Never Knows (Beatles), All I Want to Do (Beach Boys), and Heroes (David Bowie). Maybe that is so, but the big difference is that those are good songs that are enjoyable to listen to and this not at all. Liked songs on Spotify: 0/9 Rating: 1/5 (should be 0)
Not a fan personally. All feels very same-y and nothing really stands out. Almost feels more like a background noise album?
I almost enjoyed the few moments of this album that sounded like music.
Didn't like this one. Too much distortion and fuzz.
This… was not for me. I like to sing to songs but can appreciate when the music is good and there aren’t any lyrics. That being said, I couldn’t understate these lyrics and it just sounded like noise to me. I’ll try again but I did not enjoy this album
não gostei
Not a big fan of the ambient sound that the whole album gives.
This is a whole album recorded with all instrument and vocal tracks on the same level so it all just sounds like music mush.
Songs will never end
All that time and money and they only managed to sound like the middle school band down the road from who also cannot stay in tune and insists on playing every effects pedal at once. The Emperor has no clothes, but the English music critics are unwilling to say so. I need a bit more My Funny Valentine in my life, not My Bloody Valentine.
Day715 - i dropped my guitar down a couple flights of stairs and it wrote a my bloody valentine song
Absolute cat splat
1.11
Seems like endless experimental guitar fuzz. Hard to locate an actual song anywhere on this one.
what if we made an album where the same indistinguishable chords are played again and again with the worlds quietest and mumbly vocals fighting to be heard above it. AWFUL.
Nope.
Bloody horrible. Bloody awful. Bloody nonsense. I'd like to bloody these talentless idiots. Who is the moron that thought this should be recorded? And to the author of 1001... F.U. Nobody, and I mean nobody needs to listen to these crap. Ever.
If you think you missed an MBV concert, just take any vinyl record, put some scratches on it, play it on max volume, leave the room, close the door, go downstairs into the bathroom, close the door, dunk your head in the toilet: now you are listening to m b v. No melody, no lyrics, just a smear of sound on repeat, lacking even tuning.
Never heard of album have heard of band. She found now is fine? Music is pretty good, lyrics don’t add anything. Not really Catchy at all. Not a fan of only tomorrow. Some cool sounds but not a song I’ll ever listen to again. Same with only tomorrow. Too much guitar so far. Need a little variety. This is angsty teen music and I am not an angsty teen. Really good guitar solo on who sees you with that being said. Is this and yes sucks. It’s not a song it’s low fi wavy beats to study to. 4.5 minutes too long. Still waiting for the song to start. If I am is better but still not great. New you is more of the same. Vocals are way too quiet. Last 45 seconds is such a waste of time. I actually kind of like in another way, something abt it is better than the rest. With that being said, it’s a minute too long once again. Still waiting for “nothing is” to start. Same bad guitar riff for 3 minutes, what was the point. Didn’t even fade into the closer. Again, what was the point. You can’t tell me someone heard that and said “this is a great song”. Album didn’t stand the test of time. Influential in the sense that it’s a blueprint of what not to do when making an album. 1 star.
Watchgaze
Wow! This album is exceptionally bad. 1 star or F-.
2nd My Bloody Valentine album in my first 100 and after this one I can confirm I am not a fan of these guys. I find them boring and a bit pretentious. The good news is, there is only one more of their albums on this list. The last album got a 1/5, this one gets 1/5, and baring anything crazy I'm anticipating the third one also getting a 1/5.
Very stressful listening
Just another ex-1001 album!™ http://1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie.wikidot.com/album-artists-a-z-ex Such miserable tripe! Cliché shoegaze. We get it, they found the distortion pedal and couldn't figure out how to give it a rest.
m b e my bloody earholes
I saw them live in 2008 in their much hyped return from a decade or so away,. Not because I particularly liked the ‘Loveless’ album, just because some mates were going and they were supposed to be very loud live. Everyone was duly handed free ear plugs on arrival at said gig, which was a novelty. And it was indeed spectacularly loud, at times like an airplane taking off in your face and so powerful your clothes were vibrating. Quite impressive really. Sadly, most people don’t have a stack of Marshalls in their front room so that trick doesn’t work in the album home listening format. Therefore you’re left with this pile of toss.
Not for me 1/5
I hated this
How many albums does it take on the list to confirm when a band is just so niche that only 8 people are going to enjoy. It doesn't take 3 on this list. They all sound the same and as equally as bad as each other.
not a fan
No thanks
Poorly produced noise
No.
Didn't like the first group of songs. New You is almost ok. But overall this album is garbage. Just completely boring. The use of distortion for so-called "dramatic effect" is just cheesy and irritating. And it doesn't sound good, either. The thematic tomes of "everything sucks! It's like a rainy day!" followed by one mildy hopeful song in "new you" just feels immature I'm sorry, but being dark and broody doesn't make you cool..
You know that old video of some emos trying to dance? That applies to this masterpiece. And they're on tour nowadays as well????
Not Good. 3/10
It's just noise to these ears, and it's hard for noise rock to be good. I was able to mostly tune it out and let it be crappy background noise until the last track when I had to stop it. Ugh. I'd like to be able to say that I'm open-minded enough to appreciate this style of music, but I couldn't get there. 1.4
Not even going to listen
This was both terrible and boring.
3eme album généré pour le groupe. Incompréhensible d'avoir autant d'album de ce groupe dans la liste. Cet album a un son aussi mauvais que dans les 2 autres, ce qui gâche complètement l'écoute. Et cette fois ci je n'ai pas eu envie de perdre mon temps à l'écouter jusqu'au bout ... Heureusement c'est le dernier ! =>1/5
I didn't get it.
Do not like this one. Sounds like it is broken or something, too much static noise.
It’s more like a bad acid trip, or that moment you realize you’ve drank too much and it’s time to leave the party, but you’re too dizzy to find the exit. It’s a bad feeling, and so is this album.
This is just not good. How did it take 17 years to make this?
Bleek
No, the whole album sounds just like noise to me.
I ain't high enough for this
Not in my edition of the book! 2013. 1 star. Trashy Brit guitar noise with no tunes. And it sounds like it was recorded in an underwater garage. This actually hurt my ears. Fucking awful. Someone shoot the sound engineer. And save some bullets for the band.
Dull and boring. I don't want to waste anymore time on this than that.
Album was ok but not something I would buy
What the….whoever mastered this must be deaf? Not a great album in my opinion.
I hated it.
First of all, it was quiet so I had to turn the volume just to hear it. And even after turning up you couldn’t understand anything they were saying. Then the songs were long and repetitive. I thought maybe I would give it a 2 for at least musical talent but this is solidly a 1.5 for me.
not my thing at all. I can see how this band inspired and pioneered dream pop / shoe gaze, but this 2013 project did not mesh with my taste. It's a damp drug mumble over a damp chord progression and clanky percussion. I tried to listen to it but I kept zoning out.
bad. Really bad.
t h i s f u c k i n g s u c k s
endless noise
At one point I thought I heard something interesting but it turned out it was a moth stuck in the ceiling light.
There are My Bloody Valentine songs I like, but not on this album.
Really? MBV has released three albums, and ALL THREE made this list? This collection of droning, shoegaze non-compositions goes on and on and never gets anywhere interesting. MBV already showed us what they were about in the 1990s, when their sound was novel. In 2013, they had nothing new to offer--and definitely nothing that would qualify as essential listening.
Droning crap
My Bloody Ears! What a bunch of crap music...not for me at all...worst album on the list so far...by far...
Favorite Song: None
Like a turgid, regurgitated turd
noise - terrible
not that big of a fan of this album. the sound is too soft, it also has that kind of airplane sound effect, like you're recording on an airplane or near an airport. the overall production imo is poor and i just didn't get the vibe of the album.
The constant distortion is awful, especially paired with the slow, droning vocals.
Dirge
# Album Name: MBV # Artist: My Bloody Valentine # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Well for some reason I thought MBV was my chemical romance. So it was a bit of a surprise when it turned out that was not the case. I have to say this album was absolute fucking junk. It felt completely out of tune. Maybe that was the intention. Not sure what the fuss is about. # Top Tunes: Not a single track # Would I listen to it again? No
Disappointed
Nah, Don’t get it.
We both really struggled with this one
Bit dull and repetitive techno, not my style
Nothing is may be the worst song I’ve ever heard.
How much distortion can you put on ALL the recording tracks? How far back into these layers of distortion can you put the distorted, droney/dreamy vocals? Listen to this album to find out.
t h i s i s s h i t Seriously. Two albums from this group of people who claim to be a band. This makes country music look good.
Asså va fan. Det är inte ofta man vill att det bara ska ta slut. Men det här var fan extra plågsamt. Längtar tillbaka till the residents som åtminstone måste ha förstått att de är "speciella". En oljudsvägg. Det finns inget att "greppa" tag i. Jag undrar om detta är det närmaste man kan komma som låter som kaos, det känns så i hjärnan efter ett par låtar iaf.
It’s just static! That’s it! Punctuated by the occasional screech! Oh my earballs.
What an absolute racket. No thank you.
Кто-то действительно считает эту какофонию музыкой?!
This is my bloody valentine? People like this? I kept begging for the next song and then regretting it when I got there. Awful. Best: ??? Worst: ???
Not a fan. I have tried these guys before and haven't liked it. I'm not sure what the hype is about to be honest
First 3 tracks sounded like a badly tuned am radio, did not get much better after that. Pretty terrible
Dreary
When it comes to shoegaze, it feels like people have always pitted My Bloody Valentine against Slowdive, and decided MBV is the better of the two. This being the 2nd MBV album on the list, I can't for the life of me understand that reasoning. Really messy album overall sonically. Not nice at all to listen to. Despite being from 2013 the mix is really bad to my ears with too much noise and rattling. The vocals are intently muffled out and purposefully hard to make out. But I think it's overdone completely, and since it sounds like it sits in the same range as the rest of the instruments it all turns to a mess. No good hooks or anything in any of the songs to latch onto on this record, it's all just a wall of sound. Very disappointed actually since I view myself as someone who enjoys Shoegaze, but this just doesn't cut it at all.
This album ranged from passable to downright horrible. Not the biggest fan of shoe-gaze but it's usually ok as background music. This album had a few chill tracks like "If I Am" but i just can't get over they use of effects on the guitar. "Who sees you" is the worst offender of this, with the jarring effects like a "Wah Wah" on the guitar making it impossible to focus on anything else. Was thinking of giving it a weak 2 around "in another way" but the last 2 tracks cemented it as a 1 star.
Eigentlich voll meine Musik und die Band ist mir auch nicht unbekannt aber bisher ist es mir zu viel Noise in den ersten beiden Songs. Der Abschluss des Albums hats für mich besiegelt. Ich halts für trash.
This music sounds like my sleep paralysis demon.
This was the culmination of someone thinking fuzz was cool so more fuzz = more cool. It is not. Add in mumbled moans as vocals and uninspired song writing and this is an album that I couldn't get through. Boring and unexciting. I thought I'd add a few points for some interesting atmospheric keyboards in a song, but then the interesting part got old after 2 minutes of the same thing--and the song had another 3 minutes to go. That's when I decided this album was a list cause. 1/5
mY bLEEDING vESTIBULAR At first, I thought my hifi was broken, then after checking, I realised it must be their instruments or the recording studio. Resonates all wrong with me, uncomfortable listening, almost like bad ASMR… is that a thing? Is that the point?
I appreciate that they're doing something different but I didn't enjoy it at all. The album is split into thirds with some stylistic differences between them, but they all feature droning distorted guitars and little in the way of traditional song structure, melody or understandable vocals. I can see why people like it but it's not for me.
That felt violating, in a subtle way. I don't often say this, but I was glad when it was over.
Terrible all around. Over-distorted guitars, whiny, incomprehensible vocals. Everything is so repetitive.
Musiikki oli sellaista tasalaatuista massaa ja välillä kuului joku etäinen ihmisääni. En kuuntele toista kertaa!
Huhhuh
Kaiutin rikki. Antaisin nolla jos vois
Nyt oli DJ:llä mennyt levyt sekaisin, koska tämän piti olla jonkun sortin rocklevy. Ei ollut.
Tämä levy ei kyllä tiennyt yrittikö se olla bändimusiikkia vai jotain leijuvaa avaruuspiipittelyä. Ei tuosta saanut oikein mitään irti.
Nothing but noise. This might be the worst album I've had on the list so far. It's only 46 minutes long but it feels like an eternity. I can't believe these guys have two more albums on the list. It was hard to pick a "best" song since the entire album is garbage. I picked Wonder 2 because at least the album is over. Candidate for worst album. Best song: Wonder 2
Holy distorted guitarsound! I am kind of lost on what to say about this album other than that. The singing is so so so low volume, the drums and bass is in the middle and then they guitar is twice as loud if not even more. I couldn't get in to this att all.
I didn’t enjoy anything about this. The incessant droning, the breathy vocals. Hard pass on all of it? Is this the shoegaze everyone loves to name drop? If so I’ll gaze elsewhere.
drone, noise, shoegaze ... not worth the 17 year wait
My bloody hell...this was not what I had hoped. Long drawn out noise with the singer either in a wind tunnel or too far from the microphone. A glimmer of hope on the instrumental "nothing is" but quickly back to bad with what could be worst song, "wonder 2." How much worse was 1st version to not make it? Critics are up their own ass to praise this as a top album of the year. This put me in a coma...m b v = must be vegetable or must bring valium to enjoy...0.87 stars.
Maybe I'm missing something here because what I got was a somewhat pretentious collection of experimental noise rock instead of something that was "potentially timeless", "absolutely breathtaking" or "utterly contemporary". Not sure what makes this "universally acclaimed" but consider me a skeptic. This album reeks of hipster bullshit rhetoric from critics about how "moving" and "deep" it is. Second half of the album gets a little better as it falls into some more melodic shoegaze songs that at least have a semblance of rhythm and musical structure, but even that is being a little generous. There's certainly worse on 1001 but not sure MBV is anything for me to write home about. Maybe I had to be there when My Blood Valentine was evidently "pioneering" the shoegaze genre. This album is "decidedly mediocre at its best" and "quite bad in its execution" by me. 1.34 stars
Viel Verzerrung und Wischi-Waschi...
Song: she found now this is weird but for my opinion its a little bit relaxing only if there wasn't a hard beat and lyrics and guitar Song: is this and yes this is very weird all it says again and I would not recommend it Song:in another way this song is weird and I don't really like this album
I don't like this song because it has no words. I would not recommend this song I don't like this song because it is weird at the start. I would not recommend it. this song. I don't like this song because it still has no more words I would not recommend this song
Im not a fan of this album. The songs sound very cool but arent my style.
I do not like this song its so boring and the beat sucked and you could barely hear anyone singing. the second song was so bad it was just noises and i did not like it. the third song was better because of the beat but it still was bad. i do not recommend this song it was so bad
I feel like this album is very mid. I don't like the name and the lyrics, but I do like the instruments used and the way that his voice sounds. I would not recommend this to someone else because I know they wouldn't like it. I give it 1 star out of 5.
the first song started off kinda weird oh my there's no lyrics bru
I think the cover is cool. "She found now" was okay. The music was decent but I couldn't really understand the singing. "Is this and yes" was weird. I didn't like that it sounded like church organs. "In another way" was better but still not something I would pick. The music was better and the singing was better heard. I would not recommend this album.
i dont like the she found now becuase it has lyrics but very quiet and it talking about someone finding out something Is this and yes i dont like this song either becuase it just has sounds and it only has the lyrics again i give this album 1 star
3/10
The music is interesting until it becomes redundant and boring. Lyrics are nonsensical and hard to decipher. This may be my first one star. I cannot determine whether the music pushes it to another star. Just not for me.
You genuinely hear more interesting and enjoyable music while on hold to the bank. I honestly don’t have a clue who this is intended for. Who could possibly listen to tracks like Is This And Yes and Nothing Is and feel anything but contempt for the pathetic morons who put these annoying and repetitive sounds out into the world.
I can't believe they have three albums on this list, or that they've released more than one album. I don't understand them, but someone must like this crap
Había escuchado Loveless y guardado algunas canciones, no sé cómo estará este álbum. Está resultando un tostón ruidoso. Se salva "new you" y poco más. Se va a llevar una estrella.
i'd rather listen to Trout Mask Replica 2
The Good: We get to play the ACRO game!!! The Bad: m b v does not stand for music become venerate The Ugly: realizing it stands for My But Vomit WTF? My string of crap albums continue… it is going to get boring to sum up, but 4 straight days of 1*, cut short by a 2* album, and now we are already on 3 straight days of 1* This album can best be compared to Chinese water torture, just replace the drip drip with fucking noise and unintelligible vocals. Nothing redeeming on this album for me. Nothing enjoyable… I am understanding why so many people bail on the project after a couple of hundred albums; they probably started getting such strings of bad luck too and said fuck it, I’m done!!! 1*
Did not enjoy. At all.
chamer absolut nix drunder vorstelle. nonie glost aber de name kenntmer glaub? oke s isch afich sehr viel gitarrenoise. bi etz bim zweite song und jo d drums sind cool ich ghör e melodie i gueeeess?? aber scho vorallem lärm. ich checks würkli aber wie chas so ischlöfernd sii? tönt irgendwie wie wenn mini kafimaschine kaputt isch. who sees you het chli komischeri chords. ok bi jetz bi mothing is und finds uuuuuhuere streng
This was a complete waste of time and space on this list.
Listened to 30 seconds of three tracks then gave up. Which is what they should've done. Taking the trash can out is more enjoyable than submitting my ears to this.
Noise
“Yeeeeeh, this kind of stuff might have worked for you in 1990 but if you want me to release this now, you’re going to have to come back with a chorus or two.” NOT record label bosses in 2013, apparently.
Incredibly tedious
The album spoke to mankind’s highest nature transporting the listener to a spiritual transcendence. The profound lyrics tease and conjure imagery hidden behind a “Phil Spector Wall of Sound”—if I could only understand them! Oh, if I could only appreciate the sublime musicianship that crafted this album. But I don’t—and P. T Barnum was spot on.
жму до отказа педаль {эффектов} в пол - и похуй что у нас Рено Логан
Kann ich mir nicht anhören
I spent most of my teen years confusing this band's name with My Chemical Romance. Maybe it's because they sound like a nothing burger that I can't remember them being their own thing.
This album gave me depressed vampire vibes and then it shifted to depressed vampires in space. By the final songs I was glad it was over. Will not listen again
The sounds of a dystopian future, that’s miserable, grey where all joy, fun and enjoyment are banned. Listened, in pain for 46 odd minutes for a song to breakout, only to be frustrated. Had to look at the tracks run times on several occasions because thought they were on for an eternity only to find only minutes had pasted. Guess you can listen to this, ? sound, to experience a waking coma. Not for me, I’ve heard things since I started this project I haven’t liked but have at least now experienced but this no I’m not glad that I experienced that once in my life. The silence when it eventually ended was so much better than anything while it was droning on. Their Spotify entry “redefine what noise means ….” Sorry emperors new clothes, Still shit.
Something between boring and annoying. Everything sounds like a porridge of sound with a pillow covering the speaker. 1,5
En tiedä vaatiiko hifi-kiulokkeet erottaakseen edes jotain melodiaa tästä metelistä, mutta kuuntelu jäi yhteen kertaan bt-kuulokkeilla. Joutavaa paskaa.
This was designed to help people fall asleep quicker right? From the band name I was expecting something more punk or emo, either of which would have been more preferable to this. I can’t imagine people wanting to go see this horseshit live at a concert. Boring as hell. The vocals were barely perceptible and added nothing. Fucking awful.
I thought my speaker were broken, played something else. Came back, was adamant that it must be my speakers. This can't be "on the list"? Do people listen to this? I'm just confused.
Low quality audio is full of static. Really ruins anything good in it which is not much. Lacks most of what makes bands successful.
I just couldn't.
m b v sounds like what happens when you accidentally leave your headphones half-plugged into your phone and convince yourself it’s art. It's like they took everything cool about shoegaze, drowned it in a bathtub of reverb, and hoped no one would notice there's barely a song underneath. The vocals are buried so deep it’s like the band was too shy to actually be heard. The guitars sound like they’re melting in slow motion, and not in a good way. Every track just kind of floats around in a fog, going nowhere, like ambient noise for people who hate melody and pacing.
Herttainen mutta lannistava soundivalli syö sisäänsä melodian rippeet ja kaiken rytmin.
I must have a different idea about what listening to music should be like than other people. I did not enjoy this album at all and from time to time was actively annoyed at it. The first song I liked was when Spotify moved on to another band. Hard pass.
What could possibly have got this drivel on the list. Sound like the worlds worst high school band tuning up in someones garage (badly)
No snap.
TBS! AC! NWTT!
Ahh the Shoegazing genre. Never heard of it until I started on this list but well acquainted with it now. Actually I’m a bit of a shoeqazer myself. This is restricted to toiling up English Lake District mountains where steep ascents mean watching your feet plod steadfastly along. This is always done with AirPods in ears listening to my favourite combo’s and every so often averting my eyes from shoes and lifting my head up to enjoy the marvellous vista’s in every direction. Now I’m sure that these shoegazing pursuits will never involve this album. In fact the thought of this album accompanying me up the fair slopes of Harrison Stickle would besmirch the loveliness of that mountain. I know that this review does nothing in accessing the worthiness or otherwise of this album but the fact that it has nothing of merit gave me chance to wax lyrical about something of much more importance. Hill walking with for instance Pink Floyd, now you’re talking. I’d only take this album with me to dump in Mount Doom. 1/5 26/10/24
💩
ShoeGAYze, cheeks, terrible and bad
01) She Found Now - 5,5 02) Only Tomorrow - 5,5 03) Who Sees You - 4,0 04) Is This and Yes - 4,5 05) If I Am - 5,5 06) New You - 6,0 07) In Another Way - 5,5 08) Nothing Is - 4,0 09) Wonder 2 - 4,0 TOTAL: 4,94 (49/100) Current ranking: 321/337 This sounds like an intermezzo between songs. Is there any lyrics at all? Track # 3 is like an old cassette tape going crazy. It is fascinating to me that these 45 minutes of music were recorded and completed over twenty years. Maybe if they had tried for a few more years, maybe it would have been listenable. If song number 8 had lasted half a minute longer, I think I would have gone crazy. Oh, ffs, track number 9 isn't any better either...
This was bad, like, ambient industrial noise
Just constant boring tones.
Noise pop. Un tostonazo sin sentido. Un 1.
Music Bland & Vague
Barely music
Ffs, not another My Bloody Valentine album. This is my third of theirs that I've had so far. Ever wonder what shoegaze would sound like underwater? If so, these idiots may be for you! Super fuzzy distorted instruments and moaning. No clue what the singer is saying...... Utter garbage. The idiots couldn't even be bothered thinking up a cool album name.... "let's just use the band's initials!".... Anything else may be considered work..... Fuck these guys. Also, the prize for shittiest album artwork across all of their albums has to go to these tools. Shitty nonsense, or out of focus photos. Nothing at all about this was enjoyable. It all ran together into one 46 minute steaming pile of horse shit. I've checked, and this is their last album. They only have three. So all of their records were included on this stupid list, while many more deserving acts weren't even included on this list. Revisit your musical tastes you fucking muppets. Favourite songs: only tomorrow, Least favourite songs: this whole God awful piece of shit 1/5.....0 if I could.,
If the sound you heard from Tinnitus was an album, it would be this one. The biggest compliments I can give this album are that I was mildly indifferent to it at times and that it ended. If I never hear this album again, I will be happy and content.
Bad
It's not as bad as my first listen, but it's still dreadful
The buzz saw got old. The songs don’t seem to have actual human melodies.
Ik heb maar één vraag: waarom? Waarom staat dit in de lijst? Wat is hier zo belangrijk aan? (Oeps, een tweede vraag.) Wie is hier ooit door beïnvloed? (Sorry, nu stop ik.) Hoe kom je het idee om zo'n album met repetitief gereutel, dat klinkt alsof het is opgenomen in een bezemkast, de wereld in te slingeren? (Ai, ik kan het nou eenmaal niet laten.) En wanneer is deze baggerplaat eindelijk afgelopen?
Alsof je een tapeje van een tapeje van een tapeje afspeelt...
So far, this is the first album I have no previous experience with. Not a band I know other than by name. The opening few tracks were boring and reminded me of late 90's garage band noise with no breaks, just constant sound with barely intelligible (or audible) vocals that drone on. One tolerable tune, but I'd never listen to it a second time. Again, not a 1001 album in my book, I can't see any reason to include it based on influence, revolutionary sound, or anything. Did they get better in later years? I can't make out why they would have had a career at all, nothing stands out. I got thru it quickly as I didn't relate to any of it, nor would I ever want to hear a single song a second time. Worst choice to date.
Not good. Sounded terrible. Intentionally?
Honey crap, I actually cannot believe how grating this album was. I skipped most tracks and couldn't finish it, this was terrible.
Don't ask me how I can adore Silversun Pickups and loathe this, yet here we are.
Had to turn this one off. Terrible
Terrible.
Worst. Album. Ever. I thought my stereo was broken.
I really disliked this one
I kinda hated this, made meca bit nauseous. I really dislike giving 1 star because this is someone's creation and other people will love this so I feel bad criticising but wow, not for me at all.
This is just an sfx pack.
It's like listening to early pixies... like before they ever got an album deal or played a gig or wrote a song or woke up on any day.
had a headache today probably the worst possible album i could have listened to
Band was good but I hate whisper singing
A boring shoegaze
A whole lot of terrible nothing.
Eine Aneinanderreihung von Geräuschen. Bestimmt stilprägend für Indie-Grunge oder so etwas.
My headphones died in the middle of listening to this...that was the happiest I was in this last hour listening to this piece of hot garbage. Are they trying to be edgy and make bad music to make a point or are they just really bad at this? I don't know if it makes a difference for me from a rating perspective but I need to know that people don't unironically think that this is good. This is the worst kind of emo music.
so bad, honestly why are there three of these albums on here, the first was bad enough.
Music for high school shooters
This album is about as interesting as a beige painted wall. "Background noise" is probably a more appropriate term for it than "music".
The worst you given me yet. I don't want to know a person who considers this a "top" album. Do yourself a favor and make it a 1000 album generator, don't need this one on any list.
20% lacking to make it half way decent.
it's just noise. And unpleasant noise at that
what the fuck was this
It's not a bad album. But I've given so many good albums a 2. This is just blah.
This just sounded like noise to me. Was wondering when it would be over.
Ok
I really, really dislike this band. This album is even worse than the "loveless" trash I had to endure before. Normally I am very open ans positive for various genres, but shoegaze so far seems like a crime against humanity to me. It guarantees to put me in a bad mood. I think the art behind it is to make the most annoying sound as possible and this alone annoys the hell out of me. To say something positive: "new you" can nearly considered to be a song... just not a good one.
Nothing but a whole lotta noise.
More like my bloody ears am I right? No thank you.
Shoegaze is the musical equivalent of putting your full meal into a blender until everything is homogenous with no textures. Why the fuck would you do that?
so muffled???? NEXT
As Wikipedia says \"Not to be confused with Bullet for My Valentine.\" Yet, for a moment this morning I did and was looking forward to the time I'd sit down an listen to the daily album. Disappointment after disappointment I found it hard to listen to all of it and yet I did. 1/5.
A bunch of my favourite bands have shoegaze elements to them, so I always find myself optimistically starting albums like this, before almost immediately realising that it's depressing, droney bullshit. It's so fucking miserable! Christ. Turn that frown upside down guys! Go outside for a bit, sniff the fresh air.
I don't think this genre is for me. Drones on and on and on.
Lots of synthesizer and noise, incoherent voices. Nope.
Ich kannte und kenne diese Gruppe nicht. Aber ich bin gerne neugierig und freue mich auf jede neue Anregung. Diesmal bin ich enttäuscht. Die Musik zieht sich monoton mit Synthesizer und Gitarre und etwas Stimme durch die Tracks. Kaum Überraschungen. Vielleicht liegt es an meiner Tagesform. Langweilig
No. Not even a little
Seemed like just a lot of noise, no real rhythm.
Zu viel Drogen im Spiel.
Did not like at all. Kind of terrible
Too heavy
This album might have a place as background to an interesting conversation where you don't want the music to compete. "Did I hear something good in that last song?" No. No you did not. It might also be useful as a party soundtrack for introverts. Sure to get them talking. "This music sucks." "Sure does. Wanna leave?" This will be the third album of 9 that I've given 1 star. I may have been hasty in those other 2. This is the first I've actually disliked. Maybe "forgettable" should rate 2 stars. That doesn't make sense either. Can we have a "kill it with fire" rating for the truly awful?
Not a fan. Could not make it through.
niezłe gówno 1
I am no MBV fan and this is some straight dookie. I despise this style of mixing where the lyrics are intentionally unrecognizable and the instruments are way too loud.
Distorted can’t understand a lyric. Absolutely shit.
Maybe if they had turned down the distortion and not drowned out the singers this would be a good album. A real mess that just annoyed me more the longer it went on.
They should have stayed broken up.
Bloody Awful.
Everyone I know who likes music I like, loves My Bloody Valentine. Bands I love, love My Bloody Valentine. Never in my life have not got something has hard as I don’t get My Bloody Valentine. 3.7/10
This was a solid 2 star album until track 8, when I questioned if my Spotify was broken.
horrible, had a headache by song 4
You can't convince me that every MBV song doesn't sound EXACTLY like every other MBV song. 1 cookie cutter out of 5 🍪
Not my thing
Honestly, this just sounded like a lot of noise. I'm sure there was a point here, but I'm just not hearing it.
