Reviews (page 8 of 8)

Overrepresentation of new wave and this is not one of the good ones. They say it sounds like the Beatles and I think that’s an insult to the Beatles 😆

I HATE NEW WAVE ITS DISGUSTING 0.5

I had high hopes for this but I did not like it at all. Some of the music was okay but I found the vocals so irritating, the guy's accent + singing style really grates for me at points (esp in Grass, Dying and Sacrificial Bonfire). 1 star given grudgingly

I've tried to listen to this 3 times, and got bored 3 times. Unsure why is this album on this list and what value it adds to the greatest albums but for me 1 star

Hated this one so much.

'Dear God' is the name of the last song, and also what I said to myself when I realised I had finally got there. I don't even think it's (objectively) bad, but I just honestly disliked listening to this and I don't exactly know why

Alternative band from the late 80’s/90’s. Music ok.

insipid

Why does anyone like this band. They are so boring.

Did not enjoy this album. Kinda found it like squeeze but without the humour.

Not for me. 1/5

Noooope

Kedeligt og ensformigt - kan ikke definerer musikgenre (meget blandet og ensformigt)

It’s like The Beatles but bad…

Utter shite that must only sound good to dildoes who missed the Beatles so much in the 80s that they settled for this garbage and tried to convince other people it was good.

Leaves me cold

Langweilig

meh, pass

could i write poetry to this? n

Sounds like Depeche Mode did shroms

This wasn't a record I expected to struggle with. And yet, it took me 4 tries to get through this album. It's painfully bland in the absolute worst way possible. After every song I thought "why am I listening to this, there's countless thousands of better records out there". One star for the lack of *anything* noteworthy artistically.

Not a fan. Lyrics seem pointless and not in sync with the rhythms. Move on. Cannot believe this album is highly rated.

Not for me 1/5

Not very special. I could not stand the whole record

Ruim demais, credo kkkkkk

Horrible. Pure garbage. Worst album on this list so far.

Not into it

this rock hard fortnight long constipation turd of an album makes me yearn for the classic 70s style 2 hits and filler album. XTC have 2 decent songs, neither of them were on this utter wank. this is so shite i'm annoyed i had to listen to it.

Really not into that 90's Britpop thing

Couldn't even manage to finish this album. Thought it was god awful.

Had absolutely no idea what to expect from this. Kinda wish I still didn't My initial impression was it was very 80s, but there's quite a lot of different styles in here. Don't think I really like much of it though! Most of it sounds like it's trying to sound like something else. Supergirl was quite catchy. 1000 umbrellas sounded a bit like Elvis Costello. The best track by far is dear God but that alone cannot redeem it. The rest is utter rubbish. I would feel guilty giving this the same as jay z as I much preferred that so this is getting a 1. Dear God is good though!

4 Tracks gehört, absoluter trash

There are about 15 songs by XTC that are absolute bangers. Every time one of them comes on I think "I should listen to more XTC." Then, I listen to more XTC and remember why I don't listen to more XTC. This is roughly a yearly occurrence. I struggled through this record, but I really liked 2 songs.

Not for me. I truly did not like any of the tracks.

Ik lige min kop te

huilusta miinusta. alku ei ollut niin paha, loppu meni toisesta korvasta sisään, toisesta ulos

Turn it on. It was ...

Nope, did not like at all

This album was pretty dumb

Didn’t like

I found it quite boring. Not for me.

Hated it. Most of it sounded like 80s sitcom theme song music to me. Dear God was the best track and even that didn’t really vibe with me.

Not an easy listen, that’s for sure
