69 Love Songs

3+ hours? no thanks.

this album sucking its own dick

Not for me

True garbage. Not capt beefheart level but pretty bad. Why is it always the worst musicians who are the most pretentious

Awful

It was OK at first... can see this song in a snarky Indie rom-com etc... about 8 songs in I thought it was fine if a bit samey... how long left on this album.... another 61 songs! All basically the same! Musically not too bad but just why does this exist? Its not some amazing concept or a musical journey just an exercise in self-indulgence. Take the best 10 songs and you have a middle of the road album... I didn't need 7x that amount.

Self indulgent shit. There is no reason for this to be here. This is trash. All the hours. Nothing of value.

No jes on konsepti, mutta kuka oikeesti kuuntelee 69 biisiä, jotka on tehty vain tekemisen takia? Vitsikkäät tarinat vanhenee jo 30 min kohdalla

Kun biisinteosta tulee tékhne.

Ok

I get the concept but 3 hours of this crap. Come on. I thought this was a joke. The only joke was on me for listening to this crap. Never need to hear this again. 1/5

This got old after 40 minutes - I pity the fool who sat through all 3 hours0

Nope. 3 hours? Hard no. I couldn’t even manage through 3 songs. Trash.

Nothing about this was enjoyable. Deserves a zero. Ridiculous that this is on the list.

an album of bland indie love songs would generally be inoffensive enough to earn a 2, but the three hour run time makes this a crime against humanity

You think I’m going to listen to 69 songs?

Absolute shite

I ain’t listening to all that

This was rough to make it all the way through

An I being fucking punked?

3 hours long. Have some self respect and use your time better

too long.

What fresh hell is this?!

The audacity to think you can get away with 69 songs. I’ll say this, I listened to as many as I could but this guy or group seemed like they did not care in any of the songs. Monotone and reminded me of a drunk guy playing random songs at 2am at the bar. Did I miss something? This feels like the Fanny and Alexander of albums.

Almost 3 hours of mediocre songs.

Holy shit 3 hours of awful pretentious music. Nope. I listened to about 50 minutes and decided that was enough for me. It was not going to get any better.

There are 5 good songs on this album and 64 pieces of irritating garbage. Fuck this album.

I despise this record and it’s length

No

Eg e veldig glad i Jarre sin Magnetic Fields, men detta va bare ræl. Alt for langt og alt for klimprete og quirky og plagsomt. Nice antall sanga tho

Tällasta keskinkertasta alempaa höpöhöpöö en ala tunteja kuuntelee.

Man this album went on for way too long. Rare DNF

not bad but so fucking long

This is the first album from the list that I'm not going to finish listening to. I listened to almost one hour before I gave up. It's almost 3 hours and the songs are mostly the same except that they all tell a different story that requires a tremendous amount of effort from the listener. It's not an enjoyable experience.

Teenage poetry set to Bontempi organ. Indescribable rubbish.

These guys found 69 pretentious, self-indulgent ways to suck. This guy sounded like a moody Ian Curtis (THAT'S saying something, isn't it?), who occasionally let's his girlfriend, whom the rest of the band hates, sing.

I'm actually now dead inside. Someone resuscitate me. Like Ween had a lovechild with Peter Paul and Mary and had no sense of humor. Or like 72 acquaintances were like, hey everybody write a song that sounds completely like it should be on its own album and we'll turn it into an album that goes on forever and ever. I have deep regrets having exposed myself to this. I think this is a strong contender for the absolute worst album of all time! Perhaps that is its significance. Give me the worst of Frank Zappa. Give me Grateful Dead space all day. They Might Be Giants studio outtakes. Anything but this. Okay, on disk 2, perhaps it is telling that I fell for the track "No One Will Ever Love You". This is a great piece of music. By the time we get to Washington, D.C., I'm actually feeling a little offended. Honestly, how can you canonize my beloved city in such an audibly destructive manner? Rough.

I'm never going to go back and listen to the 41 songs from this album that I didn't get to a week ago, let's be honest. So I'll make an exception and review an album I didn't listen to all of. Because trust me, I'm confident I heard enough in the 20-something tracks I heard to judge this album. And what I heard I didn't care for. I don't care for the ridiculous and juvenile number of songs or album title. I don't care for the lead singer's voice. Or the other singers that pop up. And the songs just aren't very good. Many are bad. A lot of 1s and 2s, with a zero-star concept.

Maybe I was already pissed because I saw the length of this album. Maybe I was already annoyed because choosing to do 69 love songs is a terribly immature joke. Maybe I could have overcome those annoyances if it was good, but it wasn't.

Tedious. Way too long and dull.

Felt like an experimental album. Did not enjoy at all.

I’m not gonna listen to a 69 solo album the fuck?

Never heard of this band. Wasn't feeling it.

Literally 69 songs on here lol. Tried skimming through but was not feelin any of em.

Thanks, I hate it. I hate everything about this. The gimmicky premise, deadpan "singing", dumb lyrics, lazy melodies, nearly 3 hour play time, and even the immature 69 joke.

Ten album idealnie prezentuje to, że piosenki o miłości są proste do napisania i wszystkie brzmią podobnie. Miałem wrażenie że 3h słucham 1 utwór w pętli.

Get over yourself. This isn't an album that needs to exist. Release it as 3 albums if you want that many songs. No reason to waste time on this.

Nope

No love for this one

3 hours, really? Usually, when I listen to these long self-indulgent multi albums I find myself thinking that they would make great single albums if they could cut the filler. But I don't think you could make this better than 'good'. Sure, there are some nice songs, but no genius or stand out moments, so it just washed over me like a blanket of mediocre unmemorable mostly indie twiddlings. By the end, I was just glad it was over and I couldn't think of any moments I might want to go back and relisten to.

Demasiado largo. No escuché ninguna canción que vaya a pasar a la historia

Voi helvetin suuruudenhullut ei saatana... Kuuskytvitun yhdeksän rakkauslaulua ja melkeen kolme tuntii indiehelvettiä. Tää punkkari menee oksentamaan pienpanimo-olutta roskakatokseen. Ei vaan. Siis onhan tässä variaatiota! Tääl on vähän jazzahtavaakin tavaraa sekä sit tollasta syntikkapoppia ja countrya jne. Mut siis silti aivan älyttömän pitkä kokonaisuus. Ei oo mua varten ei sit todellakaan, vaikka osa teksteistä vaikutti aika hauskoilta. Kokonaisuus on vaan liian puuduttava että tätä jaksais ottaa kunnolla haltuun. 1/5

Awful

If anything it’s too many songs

Even if there was something here you can’t bury it in 3 hours of indie folk.

too many fillers

The opening lyrics of "The Book of Love" is "The book of love is long and boring"... kind of like this album. Imagine writing 69 songs and every one of them misses. 3/10.

I didn't mind this album at first...if it had been 10 songs I may have rated it higher. There was no need for 69 of these songs. Most of them feature off key vocals and instrumentation that made me feel like I was in a haunted Fun House. The longer it went on the more I grew to despise this album.

I understand that this album is poking fun at love songs, not love itself. And to its credit, some of the lyrics made me giggle. However, once again, the singing and music... Some tracks were great in both ways, but most tracks were grating in one way, the other, or both. This is a pretty strong "nope" for me. I'm going to leave this a strong 1 star (meaning, might be 2 stars under different circumstances).

oof, too much of that... skipped through a dozen or so tracks, not into it enough to sit through 3 hours worth ;-p

Unlistenable.

This album is the epitome of using 2000 words to express a point easily made in 300 words. Most songs are not worth listening to as they suffer from the problem of little quality. It feels as if both the backing tracks and lyrics were hastily conceived in 2 weeks, and although some songs may be enjoyable or even resonate deeply with you, it's fatiguing to try and find them in the mess.

Nope

69 loves songs! 2hrs52mins. I get that these were like anti love songs but it still went on for too long and it's the first album I havent completed

Songs sound unfinished. Could not get past the vocals. Lyrics could use work. Maybe a second listen is warranted, but first impression is not a good one

Not my style

Wow, this is unfinishable for me. It's like CAKE's evil twin. Or if the jokey opening to Portlandia was an album. The lyrics are terrible, the music is not interesting or pretty, and the vocals are bizarre at best. I made it through the first third, and I just don't deserve to have to do the rest.

What a stupid album

This album is at least 68 songs too long. Most of the tracks sound like they could have been composed and sang by a primary school band. Whoever finds this album enjoyable obviously hasn’t broadened their musical listening too much at all. El crapo! 1 Star!

Meh. Not my thing.

Si je pouvais mettre 0 je le ferais.

I would give it less if I could.

I am not a big fan at all, too long not too many songs that stick out
