Heroes to Zeros

Dacht dat dit een Youtube project was. Een nummertje stal de show zei Jonaas Timmerhout. Wonderful. Ben streng maar ‘t deed me niks.

Assessment - 8/10 Space - 4/10 Lion Thief 2/10 Easy - 7/10 Wonderful - 2/10 Troubles 5/10 Out-Side 3/10

Kevyen progeilevaa indietä. Höystetty vokaalityylillä, josta käyttäisin termiä "hupiukkomainen". Kädessä rautaiset Danit. Get the reference?

Absolutely boring. The end. 1001 album worthy: NOPE - 71/133

Budget Beach Boys meets half off Radiohead while Interpol is on sale. Meh.

Utterly forgettable.

Whereas the Hot Shots album hit the sweet spot, this anaemic album hit the zero spot. I don’t understand its inclusion.

This makes supermarket music seem dynamic and exciting by comparison. Depressingly unimaginative in the extreme. Who told them it was worth making an album of this tedious bile?

This was dull as dishwater

In a nutshell: sleepy time. A bit synth rock, a bit psychedelic, a bit indie rock. You know, the kind of music you heard overly keen musicians in the 20s rehearse for an upcoming Battle of the Bands heat. It was so drony I dozed off a few times and had to restart some tracks. Overall: 1/10

Fav: Liquid Bird Least Fav: Space In the running for most boring album on this list, and not harmless boring that’s atleast easy listening - this is the sorta stuff that makes you think it’s nearly finished only to find out you’ve got another 25 minutes left

The Good: Self-Depreciation is a lovely thing! The Bad: When this turns out to be true… The Ugly: Were the Beta’s ever Heroes? Another one of those bands who’ve slipped my radar in the “naughties” because, let’s face it, most music that was published in that decade was not really worth much of our attention… So why is this album on the list? What am I missing here? There was 1 tune that made me look up and go “that sounds interesting”… 1 out of 12… that’s a massive Fail as far as I'm concerned. Now, I understand that there will be fanboys/girls of this band, with tattoos on their bodies to show off how cool they are… and I’d like to know what makes the Beta Band so special? Or why Heroes to Zeros needs to be included on this here 1001 list? Back in 2000 a band called 3 Doors Down released their freshman album The Better Life. These guys are NOT included in this list… and their album is lovely, and worth 4* easy… So why do I have to sit through another generic band that used this ridiculous sound as if we’re all standing in a valley—best analogy I can give for this reverbed distant singing style that was prevalent in the ‘00s—instead of some of the, if only few, albums that did come out in that period? 1*

zzzzzz

Astoundingly shitty

I forgot this album as it was playing

Sounds like the cover... Cartoon superhero show music. Not the good kind though... Very boring not gonna lie. Like is it trying to put me into a psychedelic type sleep. Swear the last song "Pure For" is off either Jeffrey Dahmer or The Menendez Brother...

Very electric!

I hated this. Indescribably annoying with almost zero redeeming features. Garbage of the highest order.

1.75

Sounds over mixed and produced. So much so the lyrics sound like they are drowned out at times. Absolutely nothing stands out about this album or band.

What an aggressively mid record. It truly doesn't know what it wants to be, and I don't mean that in an "every song has it's own sound" kinda way. Every track is a mishmash of half baked ideas that never quite land. Seventies singer/songwriter esc at it's core with overwhelming drum loops, disconnected sound effects, ambient repetitive vocals. And that cover?! Some 14 year old boy probably saw this in the shop and thought it was going to be the coolest album ever, and then he listened to it...

Meh. Catchy at first, but then forgettable.

Ganska tråkigt, inget jätte speciellt. Vissa någo helt kivoga idéer

Uma mistura que irritação e sensação de descartável que gerou momentos que confirma mais uma vez que mil é muita coisa.

More British indie garbage. Very forgettable. Favourite songs: Assessment Least favourite songs: most of the album 1/5

I saw these guys open for Radiohead back in the day. They were forgettable but that was the right spot for them. Being on this list is not. I can’t imagine how boring this record was without Godrich’s production.

Not sure what you’d call this band, experimental, alternative. Not crazy about their sound.

So boring I did not pay attention at all. Not really something that interested and I have no interest in

I disagree. Did not have to listen to this caca. 0/5

Generic British rock.

I actually really enjoyed this. But it was not special in any way. Very forgettable.

It has great cover art and awful music.

1/10

You pick the mercury winner not this one

great band name for what they are

Really, desperately boring, feels like on purpose most of the time. I was 14 and into indie music in 2004 and had no awareness of this band, so they didn’t have a cultural impact either. Should have done ‘beta’.

Like some of the other albums in this collection, this just feels very indulgent. I don’t know that it contributes anything particularly special or leaves much impression. Surely there are better albums that could’ve been included.

So much UK trash on this

Gud va dehä suger... lame. Tråkigt. Brittiskt. Noll swag

Trahs

Nicht meins: Schaffe es nicht mir das Album in Gänze anzuhören.

I really like a lot of The Beta Band's other albums & EP;s, but this one has never done it for me. It's slightly too long, not very memorable, and just not as good as their other really impressive stuff.

It doesn't look like anything to me.

Not my jam!

Na, not for me. It's all over the show.
