Not my thing. Definitvely not a smoking weed album. Too loud and busy not relaxing at all. This is NOT ever a top 1,000
Nope. Junior Jazz.
Absolutely not for me. I’ve never listened to electronica and now I’m sure I’ve not been missing anything. Couldn’t have had a worse choice for the first of my 1001 albums
1.5
Bad Chill-Out. While chilled at first it soon gets boring and repetitive more like being on hold to the customer service helpline for an hour and a quarter. It gets repetitive mostly cause it's loop based, sequenced, time stretched, processed (even the "solos") to the point of being predictable.
Absolutely disposable, background music for pret-a-porter store :-(
Haven't heard of this before. Nothingburger 1/5
Really blank and uninspiring
Surely already heard in the afternoon or evening, at some rooftop or beach bar, somewhere. Wouldn’t even make the cut for my elevator if I had one.
DJ music is not really my thing. It’s fine to have in the background but to listen to on its own, imo, is boring. This album doesn’t break that mold for me.
It was okay
I originally hated it, but then it actually became somewhat okay background music. Then I disliked it again when I managed to tune back into it. Anyways, this is just hold/background music from a place you don’t want to be. Or maybe the Weather Channel? 1 star for the bongos I guess.
No
Bastard's hung up....... Polymath
So long... so repetitive... I came in with doubts, was a bit hopeful in the beginning, and no just waiting for it to end. Sorry for everyone involved, but I just don't find anything in here. It is boring to me, but worse- it feels like no one made it. No human touch at all. So fucking sad when I think about it now. Ps........ Just yesterday I wrote here that the streak of albums generated to me was good. This one was a reminder why I quit my previous 50 album streak. IT'S A WASTE OF TIME I have music to listen to. Don't throw shit albums here. It's so fucking annoying. I hope for better ones soon because I want to get to 100 before I take another brake.
DNF-bad started boring, got increasingly worse as it went on somehow sounds more dated than albums way older than it i’m not the biggest electronic music person but i can appreciate the good stuff—this ain’t it chief, especially right after the DJ Shadow record
Helt fint at lytte til når man venter på at komme igennem til forsikringsselskabet, meget at lytte til i 60+ minutter frivilligt. Navnet trækker yderligere ned, vildledende markedsføring
Boring experience. This isn't my smoking music...
Inoffensive lounge music. For uninspired swingers.
Languid and spiritless.
я не понимаю прикола, в чем кайф слушать ебучий постный инструментал 70 блядских минут, 1/5
Background music idk I’m not feeling well today so it could be that but I didn’t make it through this one. I was listening to it under ideal circumstances in that I was just sort of mindlessly scrolling but eh.
Torturous elevator to hell music. Just why?
Had never heard of this band. Not a genre I typically listen to. The sound of this record is good but after a while it was boring.
More like, "Pleasant Slumbers on Wax" Pre: Oh this is going to be an ICP or Kottonmouth Kings knockoff band (wasn't looking forward to that either) Post: I was really able to concentrate on my work today, almost like I didn't have any music on at all. Geez. Let me suggest two other albums to listen to instead: "The Anomaly" by DJ Logic and "Endtroducing" by DJ Shadow
Trip Hop is such a good genre of music but this isn’t that. It’s a lazy boring set of one idea songs. Just the same four bar repeat in each song and nothing happening. Maybe it passed for innovation in the 90s but it’s day one of playing with a DAW in the 2020s. Music can be this bland but it isn’t worth it.
This has the same problem every electronic kind of music has in that it gets so repetitive without going anywhere. Nothing seemed to build up to anything which is just annoying to me. 1.5/5
I assumed I would fancy this but not. Plain boring.
p754. 1995. 1 star. Music for hipster elevators. Once heard, immediately forgotten.
Too much EDM and DJ albums on this list. I'm tired of them.
There is just so much English trip hop a guy must hear before he dies eh
As one of the global reviews said, it was like being on hold for an hour and a quarter. That will do, not worth the effort of original thoughts.
Ermüdende Monotonie.
Started out nice, but oh my god will it ever end feels like I’ve been listening to it for hours
Just really boring
Nope. That's a waste of my life.
Nah, this is a bit boring. I suspect you probably have to be stoned to appreciate this one. It was so tedious that I didn't quite manage to get to the end.
Maybe I just don't get 90s electronic music, but this just sounds like the same boring background music for over an hour to me
Why is a collection of royalty free hotel lobby music on here?
Completely boring
I can almost hear a b-tier video game producer say "that sounds like something I shouldn't have to pay for." Use it for the menu screen.
Nicht meine Richtung
i really appreciate the restraint they showed in keeping this to a brisk, mind numbing 75 minutes
This album sucks. I'm sorry, but it's boring and I don't care for it at all. I never get what this sort of album is going for. I guess it's like listening to a movie soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist? I dunno, but it's too repeaty and this mfer is 72 minutes long. 1/5
>looking for a new album >ask the 1001 albums guy if his album is actually good or just british >he doesn't understand |>pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is good and what is british >he laughs and says "it's a good album sir" >listen to the album >it's british
I had to stop 30 minutes in. I feel like I could create this (today), if you could lock me in a room and give me a couple of days with Garage Band. This music reminds me of that Friends episode when Ross rediscovers that he can play keyboard. At the end of each sound effect laden song, he would hold up a finger as if to say, "Wait for it..." and then the song would end with an explosion sound effect. In fact, one song on this album actually ended with an explosion! Yikes.
Not my cup of tea
Pretty bland fare...
One of the most boring listens I've had so far. This album goes nowhere. Some of the grooves are nice, but then they drag on for long and lose any of the impact they really had. Elevator music for stoners.
Aha, das ist Trip-Hop... nichts für mich
terrible. could not finish.
sometimes it sounded like there wasn't anything playing at all
Got bored 3 songs in and there was still over an hour left. Painful.
No
Unlistenable.
I do not understand why so many of these background music electronic albums are on this list. When the album finished, I didn't even notice that the music had stopped.
Nightmare is right. This is horrid.
Boredom On Wax would be a more apt name for this band. This thing is something worse than a snooze.
Good background album. The less I actively listen to it the more I like it to just chill to while I work. If it was on in a coffee shop or some kind of lobby I'd probably think it's a cool place. Not sure why it's on this list.
Canned and uninspired
Too repetitive and long, couldn't get myself to finish.
Tästä en saa yhtään mitään irti enkä ymmärrä, miksi mun pitäisi kuunnella tämä. Joo ihan kivat instrumentaalit, mutta ne ei ”puhu” mulle mitään
Nope
andy warhol
DNF. My first DNF and probably not my last. There's just nothing for me here.
tfw ur kept on hold for 74 minutes straight
Meh. I see no point in releasing this album. It went absolutely nowhere.
Waste of time
Not sure what this is doing on the list.
I almost liked the first 2 songs, but after more than 1 hour, I realized it was annoying, and that is it.
Not only could I not finish it, I could barely even start it.
Why?
nope
pass
couldnt listen all the way extremely bland and long
Music for a hip dentist’s office.
Yeah, sip your Chardonnay, watch the sunset, order the salad, listen to this album and fuck off.
meh not my thing
break
Not my favourite
Holiday hotel smaltz
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not at all, it just isn’t my taste at all really Favourite song: didn’t have one
2 I just don't think this would make my high any better. The worst about being high is when you're tired, I need some energetic music or at least something grander. Ok this is a 1
Just a load of noise.
Ok, dat was saai. Maria vroeg na 2 nummers al "hoe lang duurt dit nog?"
This sounds like the menu screen music on a video game. This is a nope from me.
I want my time back
The best song was Pipes Honour, because it was a good groove. But even than felt like background music that deserved to be sampled or built upon. The whole album feels like something you should take as a base and create on top of. A 1 star in my eyes not for being bad, but for not being what it could be.
Background music
Some of these loops… fuck, by about minute 4 I’ve had enough and I’m just angry.
Wtf is this?
I'd like to say that I enjoyed this because I was stoned... but sadly, I was not.
Dogshit.
Ridiculous. Why is this on the list? It's just muzak.
Faut pas se foutre de ma gueule non plus
Very boring. I couldn’t even make it half way through.
Faaaaaaaahrstuuuuuuuhl… Tut nicht weh, hat hier aber nicht viel verloren, da nix zu melden Slow music to buy fast Fashion 1.2
Crap
Bunch of casual beats which is great if you’re in a video game or high given the albums name. Not my type of music. 2/10
Bias: nog niet begonnen en ik zie 74 minuten --> slecht gaan Ik voel hem niet, achtergrond album maar.. nop. geen must listen IMO
Shit and boring; at one point my phone alarm went off and I didn't even realize the music had changed. 5.7/10
Not good
Otro disco insustancial
These instrumentals are just not for me.
What a generic heap of crap. Uninspired from start to finish, and so repetitive. Maybe I'm just hungry, but I did not enjoy this...
not for me
