Not my thing at all

not our fave, here wasn’t terrible…

Nope. Not for me. This is neither one thing or the other (and not in a good way). It tries to ROCK but fails on account of being too wet and winey. It's too distorted and fuzzy to be a pleasant indie listen. It doesn't seem innovative or creative. I also hate the vocal. I genuinely can't see the point of this or any circumstance where someone would want to listen to this over a much better alternative. It annoyed me. Rating: 1.5/5 Playlist track: Here Date listened: 18/08/22

in theory, this is a lot of what i like. i.. just don't like it. any of it. gonna have to disagree with sh; this is not a "perfect record"

Question: What do you get when the singer for the Violent Femmes tries to sound like Beck but instead ends up doing a piss-poor job of sounding like Lou Reed instead? Answer: This crap.

Boring droning drivel. Are bad vibrations, going through the air because of rubbish music, the reason for all the shitty things that happen in the world? E.g. every time this album gets played someone gets closer to inventing an even more evil pesticide or invents another stupid product that we don't need. Someone should correlate world events to when albums get released :-(

Shite

Not a fan

Well ... the book says this album sounds "raw". Actually, the sound quality may work as a demo, but not for a finished product. At all. The same is true for the singing, production and song selection. How this made the list is beyond me. 1/5

Ech, no. Not feeling it. Sorry. Can't. There are three listenable tracks on the album, but that doesn't overcome how **unpleasant** it was to listen to the rest. It's okay, I've listened to 125 albums so far and I'd rather listen to at least 124 of them before this one again. It's clearly in the bottom quintile. I accept that there are good reasons this album is here, and know that there are loving fans of it, but they're not my reasons and I am not one of those fans. Now if I could just get a hold of Ferrante & Teicher's Keyboard Kapers...

I literally tried to block this album from my mind it was terrible the singing was awful and the music was just so bland there were no redeeming qualities

Man. I do not ever get the appeal of this. When you sing like Lou Reed you're on borrowed time in my ears. Slacker rock? Is that how to define this? I don't know...at the risk (that I don't care about) of maybe sounding like I'm gatekeeping, at times it sounds like this band isn't even trying. Hence... slacker? I'm not asking for complexity, and in fact some of these songs do have that. But I do have some sort of baseline of composition and this is a goddamn mess. The first song is just flat out dreadful and although it gets a little less-bad, that's the best I can give. 2/10 1 star. I'll never listen to this again.

No me lo tomen a mal, pero no hubiera pasado nada si hubiera seguido sin saber de su existencia. Podría decir que no lo escuché y no ratearlo, pero sí lo escuché.

I find Pavement to be very grating. The production feels shot in places, The instrumentation is much louder than the Vocals, and I guess i struggle to hear his voice? not that I really want to any tbh. But I dislike it.

Not my cup of tea that

Rather hit my head against the pavement

Not for me.

not to my taste really

Terrible stuff... woeful vocalist, bland songs, and production which sounds it was recorded on a tape recorder.

Té lo-fi voor mijn smaak. En die zeurderige zang werd me al na 2 nummers teveel.

Ten seconds in … gee what decade did this come from? I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying not to just skip tracks This is really where a ten star system is needed. They aren’t as bad as other 1 stars but I feel worse than 2 stars. But I’m trending down on this one.

Ich verstehe ja vieles nicht, wieso beispielsweise der erste Song dieses Albums in die Rolling Stone Liste der 500 besten Songs aufgenommen wurde. Uninspiriertes, erbärmliches, stellenweise unerträgliches, generisches Garagengeschraddel, das man mit Anfang 20 hinter sich gelassen haben sollte. Ab 'Here' (anderer Produktionsort, auch nicht besser) nur noch durchgeskipt.

Wtf

Not enjoyable.
