All samey, and I don't enjoy this guy's voice. It's like what I don't enjoy about punk. Did this deserve to be here? Probably not.

eh ... it's okay for a minute, but pretty repetitive after a while - it just isn't working for me.

Not really my vibe, to rock for my liking but I appreciate the art the album entailed.

Yeah, New Wave, Post Punk Euro pop rock. I've only heard Pretty In Pink before listening to this but its pretty much same as all the othe bands of the ilk during the early 80's

Not my cup of tea, but I’m sure others would enjoy

Was this more than one song?

Incomprehensible album, just like the band name.

This is not good. Repeating boring instrumental breaks. The singer sucks. Some of the lyrics are creepy. I had written more at one point, but I must not have saved it. And this album honestly doesn't deserve me writing those thoughts again. Favorite Song(s): -

Sounded more like harsh noise at times than something coherent. Very chaotic, more than I like.

I tried to like this, but I just, I didn't like it.. Sorry guys =(

I guess maybe I’m bringing preconceptions of what this music is supposed to sound like, but wow, the stuff on the first track was super out of tune. Couldn’t hang.

Had high expectations based on how much other artists that I like revere the Furs but it was kind of awful. The vocals I mean

Not for me

What a boring album! The singer really is unbearable, it sounds so amateurish it is ridiculous. He projects the image of someone who woke up and was forced to sing the lines. And when he hold notes (or attempts to) it just sounds garbage, what a drag. Removing the singer from the equation couldn't save this record though, everything sounds uninspiring and the same to me. This will have to be one of those records that gets a one star because of how boring it is, and failing to evoke any kind of positive emotion.

Grating voice. Modern English did it better.

Reforça para mim que é muito disco, assim não percebi nada interessante, foi irrelevante.

Vomitrocious

Sehr generisch gefällt mir nicht so richtig hab nach 3 Liedern aufgehört

Ugh. Damn my completionist morals, I really wanted to turn this off. The singer has a truly awful 1/10 voice. He at times sounds like he's a trolling drunk at karaoke seeing how many people he can get to close out and go to a different bar. And it's just a monotonous CD overall too - few exciting moments, long stretches stuck in the same moment, nothing interesting sonically and not much variety. I have a pretty high tolerance for offensive, but I'll also point out that a handful of songs, like "I Wanna Sleep With You" and "Into You Like a Train", are more offensive lyrically than I think anyone who might potentially like this kind of music would enjoy, and not really in the service of any kind of redeeming message.

The most irritating of all the new wave voices, a genre of which I already don’t appreciate. I couldn’t stand this album and considered turning it off half way through, but I regrettably persevered. I Wanna Sleep With You was the worst of the lot, akin to nails on the chalkboard.

Jesus, this is fucking terrible.

This sucks

This was lazy.

My body rejected this completely. Annoyingly British garbage.

not a lot of variation in the first 8 songs on the list...

new wave post punk albumi jonka keskiarvo arvosteluineen päivineen on 2.98-3.04, jep! tämä on maailman mitäänsanomattomin albumi. tyypillistä rock mällätystä ilman mitään syytä ja päälle banaalia lyrisismiä jota ei jaksa edes yrittää kuunnella. ei talenttia... ei ollenkaan talenttia. jos haluatte nähdä talenttia niin siirtäkäämme katse 2020-luvun hittiartisteihin.. mielestäni huonoin kymmenen vuotta musiikille oli 1340-luku (bubonic plague in eurasia) 1980-luku varmistanut kakkospaikan tällä saatanan tempulla.. puuduttavaa, puuduttavaa, puuduttavaa, psykedeeliset turrit. albumi nappasi meikäläisen huonona päivänä, vai tekikö albumi päivästä huonon? heh vähän filosofeille mietittävää, kotitehtävää filosofian opiskelijoille, vähän tekemistä, puuhaa pikkusen filosofiasta kiinnostuneille... mr jones

He is way too British, and altogether too horny, for this album to be good. Across a forty minute runtime, he may have sung four different notes and none of them well. I hate that this mediocrity plagues the 1001 albums list when there are so many albums and artists that deserve the recognition. Here, it's just another horny British artist that can't sing backed up with vaguely psychedelic instrumentation that ends up being way more post punk, not that the recategorization makes it any more intereresting.

Boring, and obscure. Not something I needed to hear before death

One of those albums I wish wasn't on this list. Incredibly same-y songs, very repetitive instrumental phrases backing up a monotonic and boring singer. I Wanna Sleep With You is a turn-off for me. I realize I'm listening to this album 40 years out of its context, and I read about the influence of the Psychedelic Furs during their 80s hey day, but in my mind an album on this list should hold up no matter what era you're listening to it in. I was bored by track #1.

Yep, they put out an album and I have unfortunately listened to it.

I can see the appeal, I'm just not into New Wave.

A painful listen

Was this supposed to be a Talk Talk album instead?

Disappointing! Thought I’d like it because of their song from Pretty in Pink; nope! The guy is either yelling or talk-singing. Not good!

Boring. Singer has no range. Not punk, just soft rock

Meh fell flat for me.

"Talk Talk Talk" No. Stop talking. As this album has interesting instrumentals, but is utterly ruined by that voice. It activates my fight and flight response.

I was never a fan.

Combination of my two least favourite types of music: punk and 80’s.

Not for me
