Reviews (page 7 of 8)
Cool idea for an album, I'm just not listening to all that shit. I don't know if their idea transitioned into the actual creation as well as they would've liked, but still thought provoking. I hate that to find a good song or 2, you have to sift through 50-60 shitty fillers. Granted, this was created as a theatrical performance type of album, so it's more understandable when you know that. I didn't listen through every song but I read through a lot of the lyrics. There aren't a lot of love songs in this love album, just an album full of random genres with lyrics loosely pertaining to love in a not so direct way (aside from a few). All in all, it could've been good if it wasn't for its ridiculous length and collection of unthoughtful fillers. Personal Favorites: The book of love, All my little words, I don't want to get over you, I think I need a new heart
Songs were very much a 3/5 average not bad, but to make 3 hours of them is self indulgent and a waste of everyone's time
Whew, just finished listening to this whole thing. It’s interesting, I’m glad it exists because I know some people really love it. And it’s a neat idea. But personally I find his singing and lyrics overwrought, and most of the songs just sort of blend together.
Sounds like something Matthew would like
Disjointed and annoying and long
Long and weird... some okay tracks
This monster of an album is a darling of rock critics everywhere. One Christgau gave it an A+, the rock nerds came running and boom, it landed on this list. I've tried to listen to this album in earnest at least 5 times in my life and I've never made it past the first CD. My brain goes numb somewhere around Punk Love and I just can't recover. This time I made it to Promises of Eternity before tapping out. It's a damn shame too because there are several tracks in the first 10 songs that are legitimately interesting and engaging. If only they made this a normal LP length.
there were some decent songs on here. it’s actually kind of impressive how eclectic this album is, so many different styles of music are represented. many of the songs are intentionally tongue in cheek, some more clever than others. overall, this album was about 3x as long as it should have been, too much filler. it was too gimmicky to have an album that was almost 3 hours long full of love songs, 69 to be exact.
I'm not going to listen to 3 hours of love songs from a no-name band
I’m really questioning on why I should listen to these 1,001 albums. This one was ok for a bit but 3 hours?
Boring and samey. Is there really three lots of 23 songs to endure? I sure wouldn't like to actually listen to these. Concentration over that period of time is a legitimate chore, however just having this playing along in the background isn't actually objectionable. It does seem like a lot of effort to go to for such a juvenile joke, though.
Honestly, there's enough ok to decent songs on here to make it not a terrible album but holy shit 69 songs is way too long for this quality of music. 3 hours is a complete slog to get through. I'm still listening but this will probably be my first DNF. The album title is self explanatory. Some people got together and wrote 69 simple love songs and threw them all together on this album. Many of them (if not most) sound like they were written in an hour. They're simple little hippy era accoustic things with simple singing over the top. The guys voice kind of sounds like Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros and sometimes the music gives the same vibe but, with much less thought put into it. (I feel like this comparison is an insult to Edward Sharp) This HAS to be a background album while you're doing other things to enjoy it. Some stuff is pretty good like "No One Will Ever Love You" "Long Forgotten Fairy Tale" I thought were pretty good. And a few others had some quality to them but on the whole its just mostly half-assed filler. There's probably enough decent songs on here to make a mediocre 3 star album but as it stands with the length of this thing and the amount of filler junk on here its like a 1.5 - 2 star album.
A bit too indie band for me. I quite like Merritt's voice though.
Kon hier niet veel Kaas van maken.
meh
Interminable opera magna de Magnetic Fields (amb el permís de '50 Songs Memoir'), amb 69 esbossos de cançons fent referències i acceptant influències de multitud de géneres i autors. Hi ha uns quants encertos i l'exercici mereix respecte, però és massa llarg i malauradament els resultats estan força lluny de l'esforç que requereix la seva escolta
Anything good about this album is buried under hubris and volume.
First off this is insanely long.
Very ambitious, and took too big of a swing
Wow, it's really 69 songs... in 3 albums... ok. I mean, I kind of like this simplified style, and I appreciate the ability to write and record so many songs... but it's a little like going to the Golden Corral--lots of food, but no single item is all that amazing. I'd rather go to Ruth's Chris and get a couple of unforgettable items.
I am reminded of the story of a young man who went to a brothel and asked the madame for a girl to try '69' with. The madame only had one girl available, but she had just come back from a Mexican restaurant. They got into position and were just starting to get busy when the girl passed some mean gas. They kept at it and in a few minutes the girl tooted again. A few coughs and tears later the guy went back to it and was soon greeted by one of the most horrendous farts ever dealt. Finally, after gagging to the point of almost upchucking, the guy rose and put his clothes back on. The girl was aghast as she never before had someone quit in the middle of an encounter. The guy wiped a few more tears away and said, "Darling, I am sorry but I don't think I can take another 66 of those." For this album, quirky as it was, I tapped out at ten.
Of all of the albums I have listened to, this is one of them.
Not a huge fan of this one.
When I first saw a three hour run time I was about to nope the fuck out but then I saw it was broken down into three 23 track albums so I listened to 1 a day. It’s at least listenable too but definitely an exercise in endurance.
Idk what this was….
Too long man
Didn’t have the time or motivation to listen to 69 songs. What I did listen to didn’t “grab” me. 2*
Alt for langt!
The sum is not greater than its individual parts, all of which suck.
Quirky, poppy, okay songs but I'm really not so sold on this that I am going to listen to almost 3 hours worth of this. Life is too short
Magnetic Fields have always been a "small doses" group for me due to the vocals and maudlin nature of their sound. So the prospect of listening to 3 hours of not-very-curated output from this band was several giant leaps beyond my tolerance. Did I listen to all of it? Of course not. I read reviews and picked out about 1/4 of what seemed to be the best-regarded. A few were clever. Most were meh. I don't feel particularly bad about missing the rest.
Jeg gjorde det!! Knap 3 timer er desværre for langt, men der var da nogle meget gode indimellem
No album should ever be this long
Got old quick. 69 tracks is 60 too many
Meh
Quirky - hard to assign to a particular genre; some tracks are like C&W performed by Lou Reed. Some tracks feel a bit pretentious.
Wymiękłem w połowie pierwszej płyty
This got funnier as it went on (and yes I listened to all of it). I can't say I'll need to listen to this again and do feel like this guy is punking us a bit.
I listened to the entire album over a couple days. There are some good songs on here but they are sandwiched between a bunch of mediocre songs. The Washington DC song is something else. If this was cut down to 15 songs it could have been a great album.
I love Book of Love. But this whole thing is a little weird.
Too long.
2/5. I am only going to listen to this album once. Sure there are some good songs but this is insane. Like, if this was a band that tried wildly different genres it could super enjoyable but I can’t tell 20 songs from each other. Not a 1 for the ambition.
Cut out about two hours of filler, and this would actually be a pretty good album.
Tried to listen through it all but almost 70 similar sounding songs gets grading, ended up skimming through to find the good stuff and skip the duds (and was happier for it). Not worth a full listen but definitely gonna save a couple songs off this thing
Ugh. 2 hours and 52 minutes of not good. Still better than Lorde
OMG. It is *actually* 69 songs. No. NO album should be that long. Three. Hours.
It really is 69 songs. Oh dear. I'd struggle to listen to 69 songs by The Beatles in one sitting, let alone 69 songs by a US indie act I don't give a shit about. Most of the songs reminded me of nursery rhymes, rather than love songs. I made it as far as track 23. Nice innuendo with the album title, all the same.
Fun in parts, a drag in others. I found it hard to get through. It's way too long. I know! I know! It's in the TITLE that it's 69 Love Songs. Might I suggest 12?
Nothing special and bit of a strange mix across the album.
Muutama hyvä biisi mukana, mutta 69 kappaleen listaan mahtuu melkonen määrä paskaa. Ihan hauska idea tehdä tuollainen setti, mutta materiaali ei vaan riitä.
Weird as shit. Grew on me a bit, but wouldn't want to listen to it again. 2.5
Hard to listen but great name
This album felt like it would never end. The only redeeming quality was that each song felt different and it faded into the background.
5/10
A concept album, self evidently. I can't say I felt the concept translating terribly well. Irony is a selection of about 10 of these songs would have made quite the album.
Listened to the most popular songs, did not listen to all 69. Would give this a 3, maybe even 4, for its quirky humor and genuine feel, if it wasn't so bloody long.
I made it through 8½, then a couple more. Some are good, some are ok, some are shit
Dull and so god damn long
3 hours of love songs. is 2 hours and 50 min to much
1.5/5 some good songs in there, but holy sht is it long and boring with at times very bad vocals
Not terrible songs, but certainly not good enough to warrant 69 of them 1.5/5
You cannot fucking give me this now. It gave me a little bit of hope to get through this though. And then the last line of "The One You Really Love" hit me... "Punk Love" saved it all though ahahhah When you make an album 3 hours long, some of it is gonna sound like shit. Quite a bit of this does just that. 2
too avant-garde. and _long_.
Hljómar eins og eitthvað grín, hef heyrt verri tónlist svo sem.
I get the appeal. But the sheer length is just absolute disregard for the listener. Gotta wade through some filler crap to find a decent record. There is one in here. I could judge it based on its ambition which I might give it a few more points but on track quality and overall experience. It's a 2 from me.
Some good stuff, but a little self-indulgent. Did not listen to the whole three hours.
Too long
Interesting concept, but don’t think I would listen again. Witty lyrics, but not many songs out of the 69 that kept me engaged
Concept albums almost always fall short of the mark. Even when they don't take three hours to get through. The schtick always wears thin as songwriters work to force thoughts into spaces that don't fit like Cinderella's step sisters trying on shoes. In the end, concept albums always find they have to cut off their toes to get the shoe on. The result is a bloody, painful mess. And that's exactly what we're dealing with here. It's a slow, shallow, painful slog of an album. I didn't need it. Nobody needs it. Take the best 15-20 of these tracks and put them on an album without all the trash tracks and you've got something. But that doesn't fit the concept. And, because Stephin Merritt insisted on serving the concept, he's failed the listener.
I was dreading this and it lived down to my prejudice. I love The Charm of the Highway Strip and Get Lost, but you can't even cut the highlights of this down to a single album that would be of remotely similar quality. The definition of indulgence, and a real puzzle who has the time for this
Didn't like it at all!!!
Way too long. Sorry
This was fine but I lost interest after about a dozen songs. I liked the ones with the female lead vocals much better than the males ones. His voice reminds me of The National, who I don’t like at all.
This album frustrates me because I quite enjoy the song writing, the wit, the vibe, and the variety of this album but it's length seems self-indulgent and gimmicky. I only made it through 31 songs and I'm just not inclined to continue to listen...the enjoyment just doesn't outweigh my willingness to give it more of my time
Whilst this was playing, I groped a young Japanese man in the checkout queue at Tesco. He was happy and smelt of oranges.
It was just way to much filler
It's amazing how you can make 69 songs on a single album but not one stands out.
Very average, no real highs or lows, just alright throughout. Although the concept is clear, the album is way too long and unmemorable.
Three hours of this? Fuck off.
That was a lot of songs. Did not enjoy them, mostly due to the vocals.
Way too long of an album 3 hours and only a handful of interesting songs the vast majority were quite boring
TLDR
Meh
Ma come 69 canzoni e 2 ore e 52 minuti?! 'I don't believe in the sun' non male. Anche 'A Chicken with its head cut off' e 'Reno Dakota', boh forse come spettacolo da guardare live ci può stare, ma non so se me la sento di ascoltarlo tutto. Qualcuna appunto, si fa ascoltare, ma l'esperienza in generale, non la consiglierei. Il tutto per essere stato mollato, spero abbia aiutato. Non pessimo, ma 1 stella in meno per la lunghezza.
Nice songs. But 2.5 hours???
Appreciate & respect the project, just not songs I'd seek out for three full hours. I listened to it all but it became background music... I know there were songs sprinkled in that almost caught my ear but not enough for me to stop what I was doing to see which ones. Maybe will try again sometime.
didn't listen to much of it
Self indulgent? Tongue in Cheek? Sometimes funny? Yes to all, and that’s why it should not be soooo long. I get that you’re going for 69(hehe) but c’mon.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm. I'll crash test this one. Some quality deep vocals. 3 discs. 3 hours... Sounds like Beck in parts. And like a high school drama production in others. Interesting to say the least. The Book of Love has tender moments.
Some good songs - but hard to get through all of them.
So so so so long. Some of these were good. Others felt like the throw away games on those cheap knock off 42 in 1 video game consoles. Need some filler to hit the numbers.
Way to long. Some of the songs were interesting (I need a new heart my favorite) but I think there was too much filler to get to 69 songs.
69 tracks! I got bored after 5 or 6.
Got it but didn’t want to listen.
Not my jam
Holy shit what a fucking punish. 3 hours of dreary indie rock. Yes it's very ironic, here's the annoying hipster award. I listened to about half, which is still twice as long as it should've been. 2/5.
rather would be 19 songs instead of 69 :)
It was saved from a 1 star rating by The Book of Love alone because that song did strike a chord with me. 1 gold nugget amid 68 turds.
Ok indie music, it actually has 69 songs
No es mal álbum, de hecho es algo bueno pero ¿por qué 69 canciones? Después de las primeras 10 se torna aburrido y repetitivo ¿cómo puedo pasar 3 horas escuchando lo mismo?
I like some of the Magnetic Fields' other songs so I really tried to give this a chance. But this is a classic case of quantity over quality. After about 10 songs they get so monotonous and the voices are so freaking annoying I really couldn't continue. This is a cute gimmick that has gone badly off the rails.
Boring, self indulgent, twee…. And that was just the first 10.1%
Jesus Christ its actually 69 songs long. unfortunately the beginning doesnt seem to be very good
The good tracks are good, and the lyrics are great. But this many tracks is just way too much. There's not enough stuff to tie the whole thing together which I guess means I don't get the concept of the concept album but hey.
There's a good album in here somewhere. I'm guessing a fun game to play would be to pair it down from 69(!) songs to around 15. Then we might have a 5 star album. As it is, it's just too self-indulgent.
Ambitious for the goal in mind. I applaud anyone who actually went through the entire album, as I only went through the first third and any other tracks that had a high number of Spotify plays or interesting titles. A lot of the tracks are decent, and a few work really well, mostly the folk-pop / country-pop songs. They had a lot of fun experimenting with all these different genres, and it helps keep you going through the tracklist, but they don't understand how to use these different genres. Their attempts with world music or synth only possess remnants of the music they try to represent. The sounds and instruments often clash with the vocals and seem like they're doing their own thing. Despite being gimmicky, it gave me insight on distinguishing all these genres.
This album is way too long. I am not a lyrics person in general so I feel like I missed a lot of what makes this album a good one. Musically wasn't anything stellar.
Meh too many songs nothing particularly remarkable. Did not finish.
Just stupid BS
Gimmick idea (69 songs in 3 CDs of 23 songs each), but I found the results rather meh
2/5 to tell you the truth they probably decided to go with quantity instead of quality
Eclectic I think the word is!
Way too long
Toooooooo long
Pedestrian
Konzeptalbum!!!! Ja, großer Wurf, die Box beinhaltet 3 CDs - ich schwöre sie nicht ein Mal komplett gehört zu haben. Und ich werd das wohl auch nie schaffen, even „not for all the tea in China“
highlights - a chicken with its head cut off, i think i need a new heart, book of love, Sweet Lovin' Man, Long-Forgotten Fairytale, bitter tears (i wanted more of this, it's too short) lowlights - how f*ng romantic, a pretty girl is like This "album" is like a 30 songs in 30 days challenge; when artists do this, not everything should be kept...Sometimes greatness comes out, but a lot of filler that's best left on the cutting room floor. There are certainly gems to be found, but many are tough to listen through...luckily most tracks are short (Bitter Tears was a great track I wanted MORE), but after a while fatigue sets in and I stopped caring. Some tracks were distractingly bad (how f*ing romantic)...and overall I started to feel like Book of Love (gem) is also a review of this album...Long and boring...some of it is transcendental...some of it is just really dumb.
Difícil não ter uma dúzia de música boa entre 69, mas a maioria é ruim ou chata.
“All my little words” is an all-time favorite of mine, but, funnily enough, I was not aware it was from a 69 songs record lol... the album starts strong, some good tunes and interesting music but then it becomes more and more of the same and drags for literally hours. It changes a bit and grabs new strength starting the third record but falls again in nonsense and half backed songs. There are some good tunes but I wonder if it would have made the list if it had been a regular length record with the best say 12 songs and not just because it was a 69 songs long record.
some classics, mostly fluff
This one brings me back to 2011, and to my first real heartbreak in particular. I played the hell out of "Absolutely Cuckoo" because Stacy introduced it to me, and the Book of Love has shown up on quite a few playlists. The whole project is 3 hours long, though... way too long, and not every song was great.
seems like a gimmick?
No, just no.
Utter drivel! There's almost three hours of this banal, meaningless slush to sit through, I've got more important things to do. I got to track 6 and had to stop before my brain died.
It's *69* fucking songs from hell. FML.
je vais pas écouter un album de 3h, restons sérieux…
God damn I hated this!
This was a practical joke
Listened to a few songs and they weren't good, so I called it there. Not listening to a 3-hour album of dogshi
This is a criminal inclusion on the list.
1 song out of 69. 1 good fucking song out of 4 hours worth of 69 songs. Jesus Christ. Favourite: All My Little Words Least favourite: all fucking 68 others
Literally 69 love songs and they’re ass. Got through 22/69
I would BET the title of this album came first. I've liked 'The Book Of Love' for a long time so was excited to get this one and have been looking forward to it. What a fucking disappointment. I'm gonna give it a 1 because it wasted so much of my fucking time. Laters!!
monotonously, boring and looooong
Heard far too many bad musicals to listen to all of this. A few tracks was enough
I’m not listening to all that
I thought that the title was just a ha ha funny sex joke. It was unfortunately literal. I selected the 10 most popular songs from Spotify and listened to those, because no album with 69 songs and a run time of three hours is both: a) any good and or b) respects your time. I was correct on both counts. Self indulgent, masturbatory garbage. This trash should be next to the definition of quality over quantity as what not to do. ⭐️
fuck you
Ik ben echt een beetje boos geworden van dit kutalbum. Ik snap dat het leuk is om een conceptalbum te maken, maar wat een hoop opvulling staat hier tussen. Typisch gevalletje kwantiteit boven kwaliteit. Het is nogal veel gevraagd om drie uur lang naar vrij gezapige liefdesliedjes te luisteren. Veel nummers klinken voor mijn gevoel ook meer als demo’s of schetsen dan als volledig uitgewerkte songs. Ondanks dat zit mijn frustratie daar eigenlijk niet eens volledig. Van mij mag je prima een album uitbrengen met 200 saaie nummers als je daar gelukkig van wordt. Mijn echte punt is meer dat het best een challenge is om die 1001 albums door te werken, en ik heb dit hele ding braaf afgeluisterd. Maar dit soort albums maken die challenge soms echt een lijdensweg.
No album needs to be this long
Not my universe.
This is hell. There might be a decent album in here if they only made like 8 songs.
Hated it with the fire of a thousand suns. I am only giving this album one star, because I can’t give it anything lower. This album stole 11.80% of a day of my life. I’ve never heard of it or that band before and never want to ever again. Ever
Weird music. Don't like the vocal. Random listen. Not worth it.
Yeah, you got me fucked up if you think I'm gonna listen to a 69 song album.
bored the tits clean off me
Yeah no, 69 is way too many songs for an album. What the hell
Themaverfehlung
Nichts rechtfertigt eine Albumlänge von 2:45h. Die Bereitschaft 65 weitere Songs zu hören ins Bodenlose, wenn die ersten 4 nicht besonders gut sind. Diese könnte man zwar mit 2-3 bewerten, aber diese muss ich auf 69 songs verteilen -> 1
Afgezet na 20’
För många låtar. för olika låtar. wow vilket maraton
Over indulgent and over long. If one were to take the 8 or so best songs from this and make a normal length album, it might be decent, but most of this 3 hours was boring.
This is a concept album (love songs or songs about love songs) undone by a gimmick (a whole bunch of them at once). Whatever impact the album could have had is lost in the leaden morass of its length. There are ways to achieving both without subjecting listeners to what this became. The wit, the experimental, the cute gets flattened. The fact that music critics loved this when it came out (I'm old enough to remember it), speaks more to their vanities than their understanding of a good album.
-2 stars for the length. Pick 10 songs randomly. It’d be better..
oh my goodnesssssss... what an absolute slog. this was so difficult to get through my god. i mean, i have to think/hope that this band has better works to be introduced to. but jumping in to a nearly 3 hour random generator of different songs that maybe relate to love somehow... wow what a maddening thing to listen to
It’s too damn long. I only added 5 songs out of 69 to my ‘best of…’ playlist. I can see some influences here and there, but I’m not coming back to this one.
So it literally takes nothing at all to make this list? -5
3 hours? Nice try, but I'm not listening to all that.
69 songs, almost 3 hours is an insane album. I feel like a lot of artists have a whole lot of songs that don't make the cut when they make albums. This band ignored this and released them all. Unfortunately that means that the average quality of songs isn't that great. A few songs are good but most of them are okay to meh. Listening through all those songs also made the few good songs disappear so after it was over I couldn't even remember what songs I liked. A good experiment that didn't pan out for me.
10 songs in and yeah, I’m not listening to all that
Grusomt kjedelig. Tror ikke jeg har hørt noe kjedeligere enn dette. 69 sanger med gørr.
I guess this is considered music… someone sang the words from their diary and called it an album. Sounds like a 10 year old gave their diary to their dad and he sang it for him. And the dad let the kid make some of the beats.
I couldn’t listen to the whole album
No reason for this to be 3 hours.
This was so gruelling it actually affected my men’s mental health. This just feels like it exists for the sake of it, most of it just sounds like the first draft of a song that someone has written down and said ‘that will do’. So much ukulele. Inevitably some of the ideas are alright here but you’ve got to wade through so much rubbish it renders the whole thing unlistenable.
I am on song 40 while writing this. I just... Don't understand why this is a thing, there have been some actual good songs but holy hell are some of these (like Papa Was a Rodeo) fucking hideous. Ok I have finished the album now. Could have been a 2 or 3 if it was 1/3 of the length and didn't focus on the 69 songs gimmick where most of them are pure garbage. It's just way too long and drawn out, why was this ever picked for this list I can not imagine, but from now on keep it far away from me.
This was heading for a 2, and then I got to "I Shatter", and it finally found its way to a 1. This album is 69 "songs" vaguely related to a theme of "love". They're clearly supposed to be funny, but they aren't. They attempt parody, but fail miserably. The vocals are mostly pretty bad, the lyrics are tedious and repetitive, the music is tedious and repetitive. The album is 3 hours long, and contains maybe 10 minutes worth of music I might choose to listen to. It was an obvious attempt to gain fame/notoriety by producing a gimmicky album... and I've never heard of them, so it obviously wasn't that successful. Not only that, but they obviously tried to do it again! Considering their discography lists a "50 song memoir" that is, you guessed it, 50 songs long! Pretentious tripe.
69 love songs? oh it's 69 love songs that's funny IT'S 3 HOURS no longer funny I think this might be the best evidence that we should have stuck to vinyl. Letting people be this self indulgent on the cheap is a mistake. He wanted to release 100 of these mediocre songs!! 100!!!!! there's HOW LONG left? The fact that the first song is "Absolutely cuckoo" and the last song is "Zebra" I wonder if he originally had 26 songs with an A-Z of love of sorts. That could have been cute. there's HOW LONG left?? "Love is like jazz" is exactly what I hated about jazz for a while. After that it's been one big pile of mush I'm only halfway through.. This is the only album that has made me question why I was doing this project in the first place, I swear I've heard this song before Experimental music love has officially annoyed me. I like experimental music don't make fun of it I can't rate this anything but a 1.
It's just too many songs. I get the whole concept of the album, but it's just too self-indulgent and not interesting enough. I am sure that an edited down album would be better, but this is not that.
I cannot give this any more than a 1 star review for the hubris and the sheer self-indulgence required to assume that I am going to commit to listening to 69 songs over nearly 3 hours. This holds exceptionally true when the first half dozen or so songs prove to be bang average. What an awful selection for this list. No more needs to be said.
Novelty records don't belong on this list in my view. And this is very much a novelty. And the songs arn't very good either. I got part way through and, like so many other people, gave up. The music just wasn't interesting enough. Musically it might be a 2, but the sheer ridiculousness of it makes it a 1
Terrible awful boring total unnecessary album
it’s a big fat no from me dawg j’avais l’impression d’être dans un burger joint ouvert par un millennial qui charge 45$ pour un burger d’orignal servi sur une planche de bois some of these are genuinely the worst songs i've ever heard, mais honnêtement pour pas juste chialer ils sont vraiment en avance sur leur temps parce que je pensais vraiment écouter de la musique indie des années 2010 donc en ce sens this is fr some true visionary shit je tiens aussi à préciser que certaines tounes sont vraiment pas si pires, mais celles que j’ai pas aimé, je les ai tellement détesté que ça a jeté de l’ombre sur tout le reste. and the runtime just pissed me tf off. also how are you going to spend all this time and energy writing and performing 69 songs (HAHAHA!) but have this fugly ass cover quelques points positifs : m'a fait encore plus apprécier la musique que j'écoute habituellement. avec le recul, j’ai même le goût d’augmenter la note de Toys in the Attic et de Play. je pense pas qu'il va y avoir pire album pour moi parmi les mille quelque restants donc le pire est passé and that's a win in my book. le fait que je me sois tapé les trois heures est également un gage de ma ténacité et de mon courage chanson préférée : Epitaph for my Heart (la seule que j'ai aimé) mention honorable : moi qui était legit su’l bord de brailler en écoutant Reno Dakota tellement c’est venu uncover de la rage que je savais même pas que j'avais ; le fou rire que j’ai eu quand je faisais la vaisselle et que How Fucking Romantic a commencé. I Shatter et Love Is Like Jazz m'ont fucking fait rire aussi P.S. je comprends que c’est censé être tongue-in-cheek comme album, mais ça change rien à mon expérience atroce. peut-être à revisiter quand je vais être de meilleure humeur
Will slowly listen to this album. There's a lot (69, shweet).
Absolutely not.... 3 hours?
This is a joke, right?
Skjer ikke
I don't hate it because it's long, I hate it because it's annoying.
Aggressively bad at some points (punk love, jazz something) too long for sure. The vocals are annoying on some (maybe all) tracks. It's way too long. The book of love is the only song I know from the cover by some guy( not Peter Gabriel) and I always skip the song. I havent even finished the album yet, I will, but it is just so blegh. The music is also all over the place and mostly not noteworthy or bad. I was convinced I had heard a song already halfway the album... I can keep going about the things I dislike but will stop to not make the review too long, something this band should have done
I listened to 5 tracks and couldn't force myself to sit through another 64 SONGS(!). There might be some decent tunes hidden in all this slop, but I'm not about to subject myself to 3 solid hours of listening to some uppity theater kid's vanity project. This isn't an album; it's a boxed set collection. It gets disqualified for sheer quantity of songs alone. 1 star.
Honestly, if this was just the one disc this would be a solid 2 or 3 stars. There is some interesting stuff in the first disc. Then you realize you have 2 more full LP's to sit through. The idea is interesting but it wears on you after you realize they put all the good ingredients at the front of the sandwich and all your left with at the end is some mayo soaked bread. 1/5
TOO. MANY. SONGS. and none of them were good.
How is this a great album? More like a mediocre box set. An album (LP) is no more than 50 min. Yes, there are double albums, but this is more than that. Not just that though, it's inconsistent. Maybe you could make a good album out of this if you whittled it down. I do like the Magnetic Fields, but calling this a great album is wrong. This is like a B-side compilation, if you are a fan you like it as a way to better know the band, but even you don't call it a great album!
This took me three days to get through. I couldn’t listen to it straight through. There are a few good songs. It should have been an album of ten songs and cut the other 59.
Pfff veel te lang en vrij saai
Classic and always a great listen.
69 love songs is way too fucking many. This should’ve ended at like 10. A properly painful listen
Oh wait, the album is actually 69 songs long? That's certainly a choice. Not surprisingly this is totally uninspired, but it has 69 in it, so it's EDGY uninspired music. Three hours of bad "love" songs is a bridge too far. Update: after listening to more of this I have this to add: what are these lyrics? I think they're going for the whimsical indie feel that was so popular in the late '90's and early '00's, but it just comes off as a bunch of self indulgent dorks sitting around thinking they're funnier than they really are. Kind of like a knock off Wes Anderson movie.
Album Review 063 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields (1999) Rating 1.5/5 No album that I’ve ever heard better sums up the phrase “quantity over quality”. I won’t be the first or last to think it but there are enough songs hidden away in here to distill into a half-decent 10-12 track album but it really, really isn’t worth the effort or commitment to listen to the full 273 minutes of 69 Love Songs to find them. The vast majority of the album is not good at best, unlistenable at worst, and so many of these songs are little more than the shell of an idea, here only to make up the numbers. If this were broken down to three double-albums, I doubt I’d rate any of them above 2/5 - as a single, drawn-out experience, it deserves less. Reading up on The Magnetic Fields, AllMusic.com mentions that their lead song-writer, Stephin Merritt, originally considered writing 100 songs for the album but he thought that might be too long and pared it down to 69 songs - I guess that’s at least something to celebrate.
The heck is this
старина, ты молодец конечно, концепт выполнил на 5+ НО БЛЯТЬ 69 ПЕСЕН пососи мое яйцо правое пожалуйста
Not listening to all that
Oh boy. I mean, I get it. The whole premise is very ambitious and kinda brilliant. But the execution is subpar, and the outcome is this very bloated almost three hour ordeal with the most annoying music, infuriating production and unfinished songs sung by people who can't really sing. I guess it's not unexpected that I found the whole thing very grating on my nerves. I mean, alright, some tunes were kinda cute and some lyrics were kinda funny, but those cute and fun parts just drown in the sea of the most annoying music I have listened to lately. Had it been shorter, I would have given this 2 stars. Maybe even 3 for those rare flashes of brilliance and humour. But the whole album felt like 2 hours and 45 minutes of torture to me. My first 1 star rating.
What the hell.... I didn't think this would literally be 69 songs. 3 hours?? There better be some damn bangers if I'm gonna basically gonna sit and listen to a movie. NGL not interested from the first 10 songs and really don't want to force myself into 3 hours of whatever they wanted to make. respect but no thanks
Painful and sooo long!!
1 out of 5 Some songs weren't even too bad. I enjoyed it for a little while. But 1 star because this was 3 fucking albums. Holy hell I could not sit through 3.5 hours of this. Not cool.
There is no need for this to be nearly 3 hours long. I don't find anything about this enjoyable - voice, lyrics, or music, sorry.
An album made by an artist who wants people to smell their farts
I’ve always hated this album: he can’t sing, his tunes are boring, and most so-called songs sound like a demo that he didn’t bother finishing
Another album where the listening felt like a chore. Dull & cynical. Absolutely hated it.
I’d never heard of The Magnetic Fields until this album came up. This was absolutely awful. Unbearable, obvious songs executed lamely and with seemingly no conviction or originality. God knows why this would be on any list. At three discs and close to three hours I knew this would be a chore. I gave it my best shot. For me, this couldn’t be anything other than a 1.
I'm not listening to all of that.
This indie pop album uses sparse, lo-fi arrangements of drum machines, simple synths, acoustic guitars, and occasional orchestral touches, paired with monotone, near–spoken-word vocals used more as narrative tools than expressive instruments. Unfortunately 69 times.
Worst 69 I’ve been involved in
Okay, I made it through 46 songs and I’m calling it. This is a very ambitious project but ultimately it is just too long for a one day session. I do think there is a lot of musical talent on display, obviously the musicians involved can sing/play anything and come up with quick ideas and rhymes. If only YouTube had been around this would have made a really great “making of“ series. I feel like they were writing and recording 10-15 of these songs per day in the studio. There are a few cute little songs and I get They Might Be Giants vibes crossed with Barenaked Ladies. In the end, there’s too much ukulele and it feels like a Portlandia sketch or a spoof of an NPR music show brought to life. Side note: “Love Is Like Jazz” is an actual crime, and may be the worst song I have ever heard. Did I need to listen to this before I die? Absolutely not.
I get how this album could be a big deal for a lot of indie heads and hipsters. But for the rest of us this feels bloated. Only a few bands can pull off a triple album and for the most part only the die hard fans love it.
God this was insufferable. "Stephin Merritt was sitting in a gay piano bar in Manhattan, listening to the pianist's interpretations of Stephen Sondheim songs, when he decided he ought to get into theatre music because he felt he had an aptitude for it" - Wikipedia The only thing Stephin has an aptitude for is pissing me off. What a egocentric thing to do, listening to someone else singing love songs, and think 'Oh I could do that! Let me write 69 of them and put them on an album'. What a gimmicky way to get on this list, and so undeserving of it. It especially pisses me off that he probably thinks his album is good because its on 1001 albums to listen to before you die. This should be on the a list called 1001 albums that make you want to die. The only reason I finished listening to this is for the completionist inside me. Also 69? Really?! Are you 12 Stephin? 1/10
OMG there are actually 69 songs on this album. What is the actual...?! I don't have the attention span for 3 hours of mid-music. This dude's voice is something, and it isn't something good. They clearly have some musical skill, but I don't want to have to wade through all of this to find a gem or two. This is too self-indulgent. Certainly not worth a second listen. Learn to edit.
Long and repetative
# Playlist Track - The Book of Love # Notes - I almost gave this an extra star for the ambition of the album. Putting that many songs ou there is a giant challenge. However, after almost 3 grueling hours, I don't think that they have actually lived up to the challenge. - The entire album is full of bits and scraps that frankly should have been left in the cutting room floors. - It's not bad that they created all the bits. But getting them out is such an important part of the creative process and the album feels like they skipped this entire part. - Not recommended to anyone but to the most bored cynics.
(1) I’d like to know more about what this is… I’m sure someone thinks this is the best band in the world,I would love to hear from you. Try to convenience me the beauty of this album, but for me heck: No! Rating of a one. Maybe I’m not cool enough! It’s just too weak, soft.
Usually if you have a 3 hour album with 69 songs, I would expect you to have at least one idea. However this album sounds like it was made in an afternoon as a demo tape that they were then forced to release at gun point. Maybe it got better after song 20 but there’s no chance I was listening any further.
What a waste of time... This is a gimmick album, and not even a good one. On paper, it seems really funny, but in execution there's not enough time given to any song for them to ever really become good. Even if they took the good songs on this album and focused on refining them, they'd only really have an EP's worth of songs, and it would still only be good at best. The better songs on this album do show promise, but I don't think they'd ever be great, and they're sandwiched between 15 minutes of bad and sometimes cheesy too. Favorite Song(s): Reno Dakota
I have so many thoughts and none of them are positive. Stephin Merritt is now my enemy. Why did he want 100 songs? Why is this on the list? Why does he sing like that? I got 34 songs in. Almost halfway. I got progressively angrier as I listened to it. What a massive waste of time. No album should demand this much of my time. I liked one or two songs maybe. Every song Merritt sang on, I had to skip. It was a mix of his voice and some of the music behind it. Due to so many factors, this might be my least favorite album on the list. If I ever see Stephin, it’s on SIGHT.
This album is like a testament to man's arrogance. I can't think of a single artist I like enough to sit through three hours of their music at once and it certainly isn't this one. I honestly do not think there is even enough good material on here for a single album. I have no idea why critics viewed this so favorably because I did not perceive any of the creativity or cleverness. I thought the lyrics were embarrassingly bad on a lot of these and they never got better. Maybe it's all supposed to be overdone on purpose or ironic? If so, why am I spending three hours listening to someone's inside joke? The only reason this album appears on this list and the Rolling Stone list is because people go wow big album.
I got through 14 tracks. Eventually I will get back to this to cross it off for real
WHY
Fav: Sweet-Lovin’ Man Least Fav: I Shatter Nearly 3 hours later, I have discovered that just because you can do something - doesn’t mean you should do it
Ok no
truly has 69 love songs. none spoke to me. unfinished.
After about 15 tracks that can best be summarized as making me feel like John Belushi on the stairs at the Toga Party, I said “Jeez, how many tracks are on this album”. Discovering that this asshole released a 3 hour album and the first of the 3 discs can most generously be described as parody I binned the listening immediately. What a load of codswallop.
So he backed off from 100 songs because that would have been too long? Maybe he should have kept cutting it down. To four. Or two. Or maybe just none at all. Now in fairness, there may be one or two good songs in here, but I didn’t listen to the whole thing. It was just too long. In fact, I was wanting it to be over two songs in. In the 1/3 of it I did hear, the thing that was missing most was any real emotion. It’s hard to take an album of love songs serious if there is no sense of love in them. Remember kids, quality over quantity.
Not 4 me
Yes, this album actually contains 69 songs, and I couldn't find two that were exactly the same. Congratulations—mission accomplished! On closer inspection, this project has all the weaknesses you'd expect: many of the songs are difficult to distinguish from one another, some are very short (do they even count?), and none of them have been comprehensively arranged and produced. In other words, the whole thing prioritizes quantity over quality, and I don't like that. The Magnetic Fields brought “69 Love Songs” to the stage, but refused to play it in its entirety in one evening. Apparently, they were annoyed by their own material.
ah yes, the hipsters’ white album. The album every record store nerd in the early 2000s used to test your indie bona fides. Well, friends, I have always failed because I have always hated this record. You hear the concept and wow, what a cool idea. Then you listen to Stephen Merritt’s awful voice mumbling boring sketches of songs for three hours and you say, ah that’s why no one ever did this before. It’s a terrible fucking idea. He recently toured this and you had to sit through two nights to get all 69 songs. I can’t imagine paying for that torment. Anyway, this album is my musical Gravity’s Rainbow. I don’t get it and no matter how many times I try, I can’t finish it.
Oh my God. I finally finished this over 8 or 9 sessions. If this was only 40 minutes long it would get one star for trying way too hard to be cutesy while producing some very bland music. Add the fact that this album is 3 hours long and you have a candidate for worst album on the list. What a colossally terrible idea for an LP. 0.5/5.0: Unlistenable
THIS IS BAD AND IM A BAD LOVER
You would think there would be a couple of decent songs with 69. 1 star or F.
Infuriating.
The more I listened to this album, the more it pissed me off. The Magnetic Fields can kick rocks.
This sucks. I think the concept of "everyone performs select songs and the crowd votes on who did it best" is cool. But it didn't need to be 3 hours of music. The joke "69 love songs" is funny, but I dont think there is a good singer here. The girl is better tho. This just goes on for wayyyy too long and I can't believe I listened to it all. There are some good moments, but I'd hope out of 69 songs. They didn't need this many...AND THEY WANTED 100. Liked Songs 16/69: "All My Little Words" , "A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off" , "Come Back From San Francisco" , "I Think I Need a New Heart" , "Parades Go By" , "Nothing Matters When We're Dancing" , "Sweet Lovin' Man" , "When My Boy Walks Down the Street" , "Time Enough for Rocking When We're Old" , "Grand Canyon" , "No One Will Ever Love You" , "Crazy For You But (Not That Crazy)" , "Long-Forgotten Fairytale" , "The Sun Goes Down and the World Goes Crazy" , "I'm Sorry I love You" , "Meaningless"
If this was strictly instrumental this would get a 2, but the droning vocals drag this down to a 1. I also can’t think of any reason for an album to be 3 hours except for being pretentious.
Overblown when it came out. Still unlistenable to me now.
Far too long and mostly forgettable.
This album is 3 hours long. It literally contains 69 songs. It's "indie" because any record company employee who approved this album's making would have been summarily executed. And some of the lyrics. Oof. It sounds written for - maybe by? - middle school kids. The exemplar for me is "Like a Chicken with Its Head Cut Off" which contains an uncomfortably graphic description of the titular chicken. In a "love song." This might be the worst album on the list.
I do not like this album. The first part is decent but I really just hate Stephin Merrit's voice. It's grating and pretentious to me. Halfway through the second album I threw in the towel. I know a lot of folks love this album but I hate it. I feel like they had a decent album here but some editing would have made this an okay album.
Listened Before? N I'm sorry, I'm not interested in a 3-hour album with nearly 70 songs on it. Especially by a pretentious indie band. I listened to part of it but I'm not spending most of my day on this. What I heard of it was lots of mumbling and minimalist recording. No thanks. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: I Don't Want to Get Over You
Skräp
Today is the day where I finally get this one I've heard so much about. Conclusion: Terribly long and boring.
Who the fuck puts out an album with 69 songs.. No.
Trash. Utter trash.
Only got a few songs in. There were literally 69 songs and it didn't get off to a strong start.
Wow. This was bad. I can’t help thinking how this album was financially backed by someone or some group. To each his own and for me this was cringe worthy.
I'm sure all the good songs come later, but I tapped out at about 12.
The story behind the album is interesting but the actual album is not.
How many songs are in the list is enough to tell you what score this should get.
Banjo and folk, meets electronics. With some weird vocals added. Not my thing, sorry
Not gonna lie, got to the second song and thought about the album title. Looked at the album and realized it's probably literally 69 love songs and said no.
I skipped through the first couple songs, no way I’m sitting through almost 3 hours of this nonsense. I’m sure there are some good songs in there, but I’m not an indie pop synth listener so someone will have to direct me towards those tracks individually.
I could care less about this one. This reeks of pretension. (but I must throw in the obligatory, "Nice")
After a quick look at the track listing, not sure I am going to make it through all these songs..... Update -- I did not make it through all the songs.
Utter Shite
Weird. Bad vocals.WTF is this?
Don't like it
This album is apparently 4 discs at 2 hours and 52 minutes long. I'm livid, hahaha. It's also rife with mediocrity and laconic vocals. Sardonic social commentary, it's instrumental selections are all over the place. I feel like it had some nuggets of good musical ideas, but they just published ALL of their musical ideas in a single album. I'm being a jerk about it, and I kind of leaned into that. it probably isn't all that bad, but it came at terrible timing with how this endeavor feels a bit laborious right now.
what's with all these positive reviews I've stumbled upon, are you people mad? anyway, the 69 is overrated.
Nice. Also, no.
ganz schlimm. ich ha so 7 lieder usghalte und probiert wohlwollend si, bi the luckiest guy isch denn aber endgültig schluss gsi. s album gfallt mer gar nöd: langwiiligi harmonie und rhythme, er cha gar nöd singe, si wo spöter singt au nöd, er isch ständig z tüf und falsch und unfrei und si singt literally aalles ide bruststimm. au d giige hert verstimmt. d ukulele git en vibe vonere schlechte video-hintergrundmusig. d songs sind zudem vill z kitschig und z country-like. und denn sinds auno 69 songs, wer het sich das überleit: defür dasses lustig wär sind d lieder vill z ernst gmeint.
This album desperately needs weeding. Most of the songs are just weak. Others feel undercooked and would gain from having more time and effort spent on each of them. Music is repetitive, vocals go from bad to nice but as a whole this is unlistenable.
Dude, if you had made it like fifteen love songs, like "Book of Love" and the other good ones, sure, but...
There is absolutely NO reason for a shitty band to make 69 songs.
69 love songs too many!
Pretty interesting concept, but wow did I hate having such a long album, got stuck here for a while.
The music isn't *that* terrible, but fuck these guys for putting in zero effort to pare down this bloated mess of an "album."
the self indulgent final boss. there's absolutely no need to make people listen to 69 songs of drivel. its okay to edit sometimes !!!!
I'm not listening to 2h45min of "I-have-a-deep-voice-and-this-is-the-only-thing-that-separates-me-from-other-artists". Pretty boring album and songs
The definition of quantity over quality
Oh you know it’s just a little bit long of an album. If it was an hour long, it could be viewed in a more positive light. Lyrics were decent but 69 songs is crazy
What.the.serious.fuck.?. …this is why people hate Indie music… Ps: I did make it through 16 songs, but 69? Three discs? …of this? no.
WTF did I just listen to and how did it last 3 hours. There were some hints of a few good songs here but none really felt finished and unfortunately there weren't 3 good songs with some filler to fill out a 45 minute album there were 3 or 4 OK songs with 65 filler songs to fill out 3 hours. I guess from a this is something different standpoint I get putting it on the list but just didn't work for me.
Has to be a joke.
There is not a single chance in hell that I am listening to this ridiculous concept of an album a second time. I hardly even consider it to be a musical project at all because the music itself is so apparently not the main focus of the project. It's a "Oooh it's the sex number 🤣🤣🤣" joke where the music is ironic and not at all interesting
Quantity dies but equal quality
This is the first album on this list that I haven't fully listened to before giving my rating, and I don't intend to catch up later. 20 Songs in it is pretty clear what this is going to be: An excruciatingly long collection of fairly bad drafts. Not nice.
I got nearly an hour in before deciding this doesn’t deserve my time.
This album literally got me stuck for a month and a half. I started it a few times and couldn't make it thru. Finally I forced myself to sit all the way thru the 2hours and 53 minutes of this. This album is far to bloated for an artist of this caliber. The Beatles earned the White Album with their previous great albums, we could all tolerate some of the terrible songs on that album. The Magnetic Fields have not earned that leeway. This album could have been shrunk down to the 12 or 13 decent songs on it and made a solid album. Instead we get this self absorbed album of mostly nonsense and filler that should not have seen the light of day. This gets a 1 because of all these reasons. If you looked at the handful of good songs, this might have been a 3 or 4 star album. Instead it wastes your time.
Maybe they should've done 12 good songs rather than 69 middling/awful ones. Just because something hasn't been done before doesn't mean it should be.
1 out of 5. Sorry to say I didn't finish this one but I feel like I got the gist of it.
there is no reason this should be 3 hours
3 hours of strangeness.
I was dreading this album since I knew it was on the list, and so here we are. Unbelievably obnoxious in its length while not offering a single song good enough to warrant this project (I appreciate the commitment to the 69 bit though). People compliment Merritt’s lyricism, but these songs have lyrics more akin to the childish shallowness of a Moldy Peaches album than anything profound; it’s criminal this is on here when not a single Mountain Goats album makes the list. So yeah, didn’t like this album one bit. My friends used to get together and we’d spend a whole weekend writing and recording really dumb songs just for the sake of it: this album feels like that, just quantity over any quality. There’s some songs better than others (worst among them has to be the dreadful genre pastiches like the jazz and world music ones, they actually feel insulting to listen to) but as a collection I don’t ever want to listen to this again.
I tried, I really did. I listened to 25-30 songs. They all sucked. I couldn't handle listening to all 69. Not worthy of being on this list for me.
Is this a sick practical joke? Who is this made for? I can't imagine the type of person that sits and listens to this. I think this is almost experimental in a way that it's art is actually the subject? Or perhaps it's just a torture method? Who knows. I have no qualms with long art like this (Hell just last week I watched Satantango, a 7 1/2 hour Hungarian film) but it need to have a purpose, or at least not be a boring slog like this. 2/10 every once in a while an ok song would come along, only to be drowned out by 10 bad ones.
Gear: Moondrop Variations Artwork: 🕕🕘⬜ Production: 🙄🤔🤷 Music: 🎶😐💤 Rating: ♋︎(♋︎)/5
I tried, I really tried. But there is no way I could listen to the whole album. I hated the vocals and the songs were boring. Cheesy cliches “not for all the tea in china” “like a chicken with its head cut off”. Indie for the sake of Indie. Silly. Self indulgent.
This was terrible. Couldn’t make it past the first 15 songs.
How lame is the author? Theres barely enough good songs to fill an EP, much less this monstrosity. It's literally here because it makes the dumb haha 69 joke. Does the author of this book have a learning disability? Rating: 1.3
Warm sound, love the bass vocal. But a runtime of almost 3 hours is waay to much for this kind of music
Too long
I'm done! I'm finally fucking done with this album. I read the wikipedia "I decided I'd write one hundred love songs as a way of introducing myself to the world. Then I realized how long that would be. So I settled on sixty-nine" That's all you need to know. It sounds like someone came up with as many songs as he could and just published all of them, stream of consiousness style. Maybe there is a 2-3 star album in here but for not valuing the listeners time one iota this is a 1 star. I regret listening to all of it.
Usually for boring albums I would give it a 3 or a 2 for wasting my time. This is so boring and lasts 3 hours! Nobody should listen to this and it does not deserve to be on this list just because it has the funny number!
Some were fine, but way too long
No - not 3 hours mostly the same music. Imagine, you are listening to this on a kichen - radio -- this will bring you to suicide thoughts. Once again: who is responsible collecting the albums for the 1001 list ???
If you set out to make almost three hours of music, not all of it is going to be good. I really didn't mind some of it, even if the lyrics and rhyme schemes were sometimes repetitive, but there were a lot of duds and no diamonds in the rough. "How Fucking Romantic" was beyond horrible, "Punk Love" was just the same words and melody repeated a ton, and "Washington, D.C." was basically a joke song. At first I was thinking I’d give this 2 or (maybe) even 3 stars, but most of the decent songs are in the first half of the album, so the back half was all downhill.
This was so boldly bland and uninteresting that my main thought about halfway through was "Why is this still happening? Why did this collection deserve to be 3 hours long". The voices are flat and dull. The wordplay and wit barely exists. I get the feeling this might be beloved by people really into NPR, though. I didn't care for it at all.
If I'm going to listen to 69 love songs over 3 CDs I need them to be well sung and well played. Unfortunately... So... how to score this? -1 for excessive length, -1 for the poor vocals, -1 for the awful guitar work, -1 'cos the band seems to be simply "going through the motions". I'll stop there 'cos I can't give it less than 1.
This is a 3 disc album and I am more than good after listening to the first disc. I guess some people like this. I found it boring as shit musically. It's definitely poetic in delivery, an album of love songs title 69, but it's fuckin' garbage music. 0/5 if I could, but I'll have to settle for a 1/5. Get me the fuck out of here.
Too long.
I'd give this shit a 0 if I could.
first of all i aint listening to all that, second of all could it deserve a 2? sure. Did i take one off because the album is 2 hours and 45 minutes long? yes.
