Screamadelica

A kaleidoscopic mélange of everything going at the time: house music, ‘60s revivalism, gospel inflections. The singles are good but it never quite clicks as a whole, but those highs are extremely high.

Unexpectedly pleasant. Back when I heard this in the 90's I thought this was the music that put me to sleep, but found much more in it than decades before. Must be me getting older. Or better at listening to music.

Favorite track was "Damaged".

It's not really my era - I feel as though people a couple of years older than me will love this album. It misses the mark with me - too much weird 90s style gentle dance music/ambience. Lots of gospel. The hits are good, obviously, but his voice is annoying after a while. I probably wouldn't listen again.

Really cool album! Had never heard of this. Good 90’s alt semi house tunes

A landmark of the Madchester movement, where Primal Scream would combine their groovy alt rock sound with the acid house movement to produce a unique mix of dance-oriented neo-psychedelic rock tracks. Prominently displays the wall of sound, featuring all sorts of strange production effects that are often subtle and barely noticeable yet enrich the whole experience. It's an immersive and fun experience with energetic high moments and low-key atmospheric moments, yet very consistent in its track ordering. Could be found a bit tiresome due to its hour-length, but I often find myself not noticing its length due to how well it hides in the background for you to dance or study to. We start off with their most famous track, the indie rock anthem "Movin on Up". It's catchy and groovy with a cool jangly guitar sound, a wailing guitar, gospel vocals, and keyboard effects. This all produces a wall of sound that excites the audience for what's to come, even though this is probably the most pop-like track. "Slip Inside the House" mixes acid house with Indian Classical Music (ICM) in a strange psychedelic twist. It's engaging and danceable. "Don't Fight It Feel It" is an energetic house track featuring gospel vocals and a groovy rock instrumentation, representing everything Madchester stands for. Doesn't come off as boring, annoying, or tiresome, capable of dancing to or sitting in the background. Has plenty of memorable moments. "Higher than the Sun" is their most psychedelic and dreamy track that becomes very techno in the second half. Probably my favorite. "Inner Flight" is a lush instrumental dream pop track full of hazy samples such as a horn instrument, choir vocals, and keyboard effects. Their longest track "Come Together" is an R&B-infused track reminding me of contemporary new jack swing, prominently incorporating a grand piano, gospel vocals, and a soft pop guitar groove. It's light, sunshiney, and catchy. Reminds me of what Rolling Stones did in Let It Bleed. "Loaded" is a downtempo dance track and their last energetic track. Some may complain for its repetition, but I really enjoyed it, especially the subtle horn and guitars and other sounds in the background. "Damaged" is a nostalgic 70s folk rock track, super nostalgic and a bit catchy. "I'm Comin Down" is a slower ambient track featuring all sorts of strange psychedelic effects and instruments, inspired by both 60s psychedelia and techno. And also features an ecstatic sax. We return to "Higher than the Sun", this time even more spacey than the more pop-orientated iteration earlier in the album. There's a cool techno transition half-way through that sounds very alien-like and robotic. I was a bit worried about how the album would end with how ambient it was getting, but "Shine Like Stars" was a pleasant pop track that remained consistent with the lush yet quiet production effects of the previous tracks. It's short, calming, and satisfying.

That had some nice sound. Nothing I found groundbreaking. Might put it on, probably not.

Psychedelica album van de Schotse rock band Primal Scream, ontstaan uit samenwerking met house producers. Tracklist is een unieke mix van rock, gospel en house, wat verrassend goed samengaat. Leuk album. leukste nummer: Movin' On Up De cover art is geïnspireerd door een watervlek in het studiogebouw, wat de kunstenaar zag toen hij high was op LSD. De hoes staat op een Britse postzegel.

What a fantastic album. While some of its sound is a bit dated, it's in a good way rather than a bad way, especially when it was one of the pioneers of the sound that would be dated, if that makes sense. Ironically, I stumbled upon this album the very day the algorithm blessed with it, so I got a bit more time to digest it than usual. Despite some dips in quality, the highs of this album are absolutely insane. Movin' on Up, Don't Fight it, Feel it, Come Together, Loaded, and more, its loaded (for lack of a better term) with absolute bangers. It's essential pump up and feel good music, and the musicality and trip-hoppy elements to it just make it all the more addicting. Definitely won't be leaving my rotation anytime soon.

I like all the songs but find them all to be too long.

Dachte erst "Wasn das fürn Dance Shit". Hat sich aber ab dem 2. mal Hören gut entwickelt. 3.4

very groovy and funky. not my usual genre but i did enjoy it. i think my favourite track was "Movin' on up" which is the opening track (track one) it was a great opener and really set the mood of the album.

Not for me

Man I love this cover that sun guy just looks really friendly and really just draws you in like whatever is hiding behind this cover has to be seen just so you can enjoy such an amazing art piece

I hated the other Primal Scream album and I feel the same way about this one. Please, no more Primal Scream.

3/11, 27%

Hmm Primal Scream aren't they techno? HAHA NOPE, they sound a bit like Rolling Stones honestly. Rock. Kinda cool. it's a 90 min album. So Primal Scream did do a song on the Trainspotting soundtrack. That song is def more techno than this album. But pretty cool so far! I'm really digging this journey to 1001 albums. A few of the tracks were not available on Spotify :/

Jeps

Raar album, begrijp op zich dat het toen cool was, maar doet me niet zoveel.

Easy 5. Album is great while going all over the place with influences. Started a replay as soon as it ended and saved a bunch of tracks.

I liked "Loaded" - it feels like I've heard this sampled in a bunch of other mixes and albums. I still don't feel like any of this makes it to my playlist, so 2 stars.

Had a Big Audio Dynamite vibe. Satisfying listen

Good

This is all over the place. There were hints of sounds I enjoyed but overall it’s not for me.

It was odd. At points a jam band and others more techno. I felt incongruous.

It's pretty bad but it's not unlistenably bad.

Really weird album with a bunch of different things, but overall I enjoyed a decent amount of it.

Honestly not that great. It starts out pretty poor IMO, with some songs I hope to never hear again. The back half is a little more listenable for me, but I still did not find this enjoyable to listen to.

Holy cow, that was one wild ride. It's like Primal Scream threw a bunch of different genres into a blender, hit puree, and then just went with whatever came out. The album starts off with "Movin' on Up," and I gotta say, I was movin' on up out of my seat trying to figure out what the heck was going on. "Loaded" is like a rollercoaster of sound, complete with a funky bassline and a choir that sounds like it's on a mission from God. But it's "Higher Than the Sun" that really takes the cake. I mean, what kind of drugs were they on when they made that song? It's like they took a bunch of helium, inhaled it, and then decided to sing about being higher than the sun. I don't know what they were smoking, but I want some. Overall, Screamadelica is a trip, and not the kind you take with your grandma to the Grand Canyon. If you're feeling adventurous, give it a listen. And if you're not feeling adventurous, well, stick with elevator music.

Odd but some good stuff

very cool 90s situation.

good but not that good, makes me miss the early 90s though, in retro what a time to be alive

I can't stand Bobby Gillespie, but think Andrew Weatherall is a genius. So I'm conflicted! The good news is, a couple of plodding Stones rip offs aside, it's pretty much all Weatherall, blessed out, dubby fun. It's just a shame Gillespie gets so much credit when, whenever he's left to his own devices, he turds out the blandest rawk ever. His only real talent is he is smart enough to shut up when a real grown up enters the room. So - any time the frontman is in the background this is a five star album. If only they'd sacked the idiot, Primal Scream could have been one of the greatest bands ever!

I've never taken drugs, but this album perfectly accompanies and mirrors the experience of eating a sticky toffee pudding. It starts with anticipation and excitement at the sight of the sticky deliciousness and the sugar rush of the first spoonful ('Movin' on Up' to 'Don't Fight It, Feel It'). Next up is the loved up joy and euphoria of eating the STP. At this stage you love the STP and everyone in the vicinity of the STP ('Higher Than the Sun' to 'Loaded'). Finally, you reach the post-consumption come-down stage of pure, sleepy, soporific contentment ('Damaged' to 'Shine Like Stars'). Rating: 5/5 Playlist track: Movin' on Up Date listened: 23/03/23

Never quite understood the appeal of Primal Scream. It is all just so average. 2.5/5

funky stuff

This isn’t anything I really need to listen to ever again. Not my genre.

Could’ve been good, but boring. Not as good as they come off.

Before listening to this album, I'd only ever listened to "Movin' On Up" (which I absolutely love), and "Loaded," so I had pretty high hopes for this album. I enjoyed the longer songs, and I thought that the longer song structure really gives Primal Scream more space to really lean into the dance and psychedelic elements that are present here, especially on "Slip Inside This House" and "Don't Fight It, Feel It," the latter of which reminded me of some of my favorite elements of LCD Soundsystem's music. The psychedelic piano and keyboard playing on "Come Together," combined with the horns, was my favorite track outside of "Movin' On Up." I didn't really listen to a lot of music from the UK during the 90's, and I'm always so bummed that I'm discovering a lot of these bands later in life. I think I would have loved some of the tracks here as a kid. I didn't love this album as much as I thought I would, but I still think it's great, and I think the unique sounds that Primal Scream put together here really showcase their talent.

Although I had never heard this album before, it somehow made me nostalgic. It sounds so incredibly early 90's, and I mean that as a compliment! It's such a fun listen from start to finish, and one song in particular, "Higher Than The Sun," has been stuck in my head ever since. Towards the end, the songs become more melancholy and introspective, which is a nice change from the more dance-rock feel of the first half. There's a mix of psychedelica, techno/dance, and rock throughout that somehow blends perfectly together and makes this an easy listen. I could see myself putting this album on while cleaning/doing chores around the house, or when I just need something to lift my mood. Standout Tracks: "Higher Than The Sun," "Loaded," "Slip Inside This House," "Damaged"

Surprising and decent but not life-changing I don't know if I'll revisit.

Too repetitive, and the instrumental parts did not evolve in a meaningful way. I would be slightly intrigued by what they were introducing, but I didn’t feel like it developed, so I lost interest

Wasn’t able to give this a full listen. But long songs with lots of instruments and random noises is always right up my alley. Slip Inside This House a really cool track.

Yawn....

Enjoyed first couple of songs. Then don't fight it, feel it happened. What an awful song. Higher than the sun was good. Inner flight was a bit boring, but made me think of a song that would play in a video game. Nice background music. Come together was catchy, but probably 5 minutes too long. Loaded was kind of funny? Definitely 5-6 minutes too long. Damaged came out of nowhere. Was unlike most other songs. Very early 90s. I'm coming down was 6 minutes that could have been 30 seconds with the same result. This last line sums up the last three songs. Overall, didn't hate it. Not for me though.

This is music for a very specific subset of white people. In another life I could have been that, but alas I am not in this one. So I thought it wasn’t the best. Due to the difference in all the songs it seems like all members had their own input/preferences, interesting they could collaborate in this way if that’s the case. Inner flight 0:50 - 2:00 sounds like it could be the theme music in a Final Fantasy 7-10 cave though so that was cool.

The first song I had discovered couple of years ago and subsequently put it on other playlists. It sounds “not of” 1991 but the rest of the tracks do as Slip Inside This House starts up with the drum machine loops. Boom, it’s summertime, you’re playing Sega Genesis in your parents basement. Streets of Rage II. Why does the album open with a gospel song and then the rest is club Jamz dancemix ‘91? There are some tracks where the band finally does Come Together and there is a bit more uplifting music with singing and choir. Loaded is a pretty fun instrumental. You could probably put this album on as background music at a party if you didn’t want anyone to be distracted from conversation. Damaged is a straight up country song. Lots of musical range here and it kind of reminds me of MGMT a bit. I wonder if that band listened to Primal Screamadelica? I guess the album has some bookend songs such as the opener and I’m Comin’ Down. The songs between are a bit of a trip and I guess that’s the idea!

It slaps.

There's some fun jam bits in most of the tracks but it overstays its welcome without switching it up. Songs don't really go anywhere.

I take MDMA every Monday, so I had a lovely time listening to this record. It seems like that may be a prerequisite for listening to this bad boy. This album is perfect for eerily batting around a single swinging lightbulb in a dark basement, or any repetitive task like that. I actually like house music, so I didn’t mind the extended tracks. I stopped fighting it and just felt it. However, these tracks only hit in a specific time and place, and I wouldn’t necessarily listen to these guys on the regular, especially considering I just found out they existed. I got some serious NIN vibes in the Higher Than The Sun mixes, which were my favourites on the record. However, Trent Reznor is way cooler than this and does it better. I’ll give the Screamos credit though because they may be on the cutting edge of what’s to come. There were Fatboy Slim and Oasis vibes in a few songs as this was at a time before those acts existed in the mainstream. This album is Loaded with different feels and weird sounds, which is fascinating to listening to. An array of genres taking (inner) flight all over the place, including the aforementioned house music, Brit rock, piano ballads, and more. This album has no cohesion at all, but who cares? This is a music album not a corporate management retreat.

I was feeling fairly optimistic after the first song... all downhill from there. Not into this at all.

This album starts off with a bang with Movin' on Up, a very fun and upbeat track. The song is well put together, entertaining, and ends before it gets old. The same cannot be said for most of the rest of the album. The second track makes you think ok maybe they're actually going for a psychedelicy atmospheric sound and it's pretty ok. By the third track you are realizing there's no point in figuring out what they're going for because they're just making random stuff, some of which is garbage. I might hear that synth whistle in my nightmares for the next while. The hallmark of this album is that most songs are about 2-3 minutes of actually pretty good content stretched out into 6 or more minutes. I noticed that in the UK release of the album Come Together was actually 2.5 minutes LONGER, which is insanity. Loaded would be an actually fantastic track if they cut it in half. It spends a lot of time building the sound up with 4-8 bar repeats, adding a new instrument or piece of the sound each time. Ramping through the sound changes much more swiftly would drastically improve the pace of the track, either by changing every 2 bars, or else by adding two sounds instead of just one each cycle. It has a jam feel that is kind of appealing when listening to a snapshot, but is a bit much over 7 minutes. If you skip around in most of the tracks of this album, I find that I enjoy the music a lot. The problem is that much of the songs outlast their welcome so listening to the whole album is quite tedious. Not to mention track 3, which is by far the worst thing on this album and nearly justifies burning this album in a fire.

Favorites -Movin' on Up -Shine Like Stars

It’s all about the singles, the rest of the album was good but not stand-out

Meh.

ok i will listen to it

Enjoyed some of it.

A rich cacophony of styles and sounds, new to me, look forward to revisiting.

It started out and I think this was gonna be a Rolling Stones inspired retro classic rock thing and then it got progressively more electronic and experimental. I definitely prefer the more sampled sound. The guys voice got annoying after a while. Favorite song was probably I’m Coming Down. Least favorites were Damaged and Come Together. Seems different from a lot of the early 90’s rock bands and was probably a new exciting sound and cooler back then but not sure if it holds up. Tough one to rate 2.5- 3? I liked it more than some of the other stuff I rated 2.

There are some ok moments but honestly what’s the point? This sounds like hotel lobby music

Not my favorite. Some of it sounds like George Michaels wanna be. House music was cool at times but just hard to listen as anything but background music.

Good vibes. Didn’t know LSD inspired their change in sound.

Not my cup of tea. Seemed like a generic 90's album to me with a lot of repetitive elements. Not bad, but not great either, but again, maybe I'm just not the demographic.

So deep in genres. Lots of unique sounds.

La importància del disc ve donada pel seu valor històric. Un dels treballs més representatius dels noranta, editat just a començaments de la década, com un tret de sortida de tot el que havia de venir, en un any que va ser màgic per la música. Amb els anys ha perdut part de la seva força, pero continua sent un milestone que suporta el pes de la seva història

10/10 FANTASTIC production and endlessly creative what a beautiful blend of 60s rock and 90s rave

Good old disco vibes, but not my Kind of Party music sadly

Not bad, moving on up is a good song

Alku oli lupaava, mutta meno hiipui varsin nopeasti. Ihan OK ja kerran levy ympäri riitti tätä, kiitos.

Liian pitkä tuollaista ollakseen yli 2*

Not bad, but extremely overrated. Most of it is not memorable at all and many songs are stuck so hard in the 90's it hurts. It is also not focused at all, which can get annoying pretty fast in a long album lie this. 6/10

Rock-dance alternativo. Me ha gustado. Un 4.

Trippy little gem

Weirdly modern

pretty good album, liked it quite a bit with repeat plays.

What a trip. A heady mix of Cool Britainnia's raw ingredients, served popping hot.

A good rockin' 90s album

2/5. I don’t know honestly. It’s good but I’m not going to listen to it again. It just didn’t hit. Wish I had a better reason. Bopping head throughout but not anything that feels down my alley.

Fuck this band 1/5

I like this. Mellow, melodic. Never listened to it before. 4/5

Superb album, one of my favourites.

hell yeah

Mehh

To me this is sort of ok, don't remember much of it but wasn't bothered by it so most probably won't listen to it again but won't complain if someone else puts it on

Bit too long, bit too unremarkable but not too bad.

Love the two songs I allready knew (Movin' on Up and Loaded). The rest is decent but not too memorable

Just not all that, at least not anymore, and as far as one’s concerned, they never really were.. Any euphoria that’s felt feels too cheaply earned. One always found PS to be much tamer compared to the edgier, darker, druggier Happy Mondays, nor as expansive as Spiritualized and not as flat-out weird and cultish as, say, Polyphonic Spree. The slower, dreamier cuts (the best of which is “I’m Coming Down”) are not uninteresting, but they do feel a little insubstantial. The record is alternately too silly-happy and too noodly-contemplative. “Come Together” is pretty weak tea as a peace-and-love anthem, but “Loaded” and “Damaged” are decent. The whole thing – the faux gospel choir, the stupid “We wanna get loaded and have a good time” Peter Fonda clip, the arty pretensions, the thin and now hollow-sounding production (which, oddly, hasn’t held up so well, given it’s basically a producers’ record) – reads as unconvincing.Today, this sounds like mid-list commercial pop-rock from an era in transition, with much genre conflict, and anyway isn’t nearly as experimental and lysergic as it wants to be.

I was very pleased at the lack of screaming. I was worried. Very much enjoyed this album

Not for me

Nobody was screaming.

Brilliant

Ooo ye

I can do a Primal Scream: ahhhhhhh

Afwisselende nineties-plaat, met wat typische dingen van die tijd (al die lollige citaatjes uit ouwe films), maar creatief genoeg om het interessant te houden. Ik moest hem wel meerdere keren beluisteren om mijn mening te kunnen bepalen, het beklijft niet zo en wordt al snel achtergrondmuziek. Maar wel leuke achtergrondmuziek.

Blieb, blieb, blieb, kraak, kraak, 3 uur wachten op de 56k modem en hoppa medio jaren '90 hebben we Primal Scream binnen. Een paar jaar na release, maar tja...downloaden kon eerder nog niet en het was niet echt een 'must have' voor de cd-collectie. 'Select all' en openen in Winamp maar. Het oordeel van toen: Zeer origineel en lekker spannend door een mooie mix van stijlen. (Maar niet goed genoeg, dus hop weer 'select all' en nu 'delete', want op de schaarse ruimte van de harde schijf was alleen ruimte voor 5*-platen.) Het oordeel van nu: Zeer kenmerkend voor die tijd. Vooral een (soms wat saaie) sample-collectie. (En niet goed genoeg, dus nul 'likes' op Spotify. Dus deze komt niet meer terug (Tenzij de het ondoorgrondelijke family-blend-logaritme het oppikt; dan kom ik er nooit meer vanaf). Ben ik inmiddels muzikaal meer opgevoed? Of is er gewoon veel meer interessante digitale muziek? Wellicht allebei. Maar aan die uitbreiding van interessante digitale muziek hebben albums als dit dan wel weer als grondslag gelegen. Want ik kan mij niet voorstellen dat een Moby niet heeft geluisterd naar dit album.

Vrij gedateerde crossover tussen rock en house. Ik snap dat het in de 1001 hoort, want een album als dit past echt perfect in een bepaald tijdsbeeld. Het voert me direct terug naar de early 90s namelijk. Maar zoals ik al zei, het voelt ook flink gedateerd aan, het is absoluut niet tijdloos. De pianodeuntjes en geluidseffectjes worden ook door Charlie Lownoise en Mental Theo gebruikt. Is dat dan een slecht teken? Niet per se, want ik heb het toch wel met plezier geluisterd, al verzanden sommige nummers wat in onduidelijk wazig geexperimenteer. Zo wordt het meer het brave Britse broertje van Trent Reznor.

Better than expected, nice and pleasant

Mid

Pretty original but I'm not very into it, dunno why.

Sounds more fresh today than it did in 1991. A great argument for acid rock and taking acid in general.

I mean it’s fine.I really liked one song but even that song was way too long which seems to be a running theme throughout the whole album.Also for a band named primal scream I expected heavier music. maybe it would work better on a club.

Although this album is alternative in the truest sense, there are moments in a few tracks that contain somewhat expected melody and pop composition. One of the best is “I’m Coming Down”, with unique twisting of saxophone. There are many textures to this album, but with a glass of wine or a slow sipping of bourbon, this eclectic mix of funk soul jazz and indie rock is quite pleasing. There is a lot going on with this album. In a good way.

Some 'bangers', to use the terminology of the time, and a lot of drug addled filler. Pleasant mix of gospel, guitar rock and trippy sampling. Drags on a bit.

Very confused. Wasn't sure what this was trying to be, but it's definitely not rock. At first I was thinking christian rock, then dance? then more christian vibes. Super weird. And definitely too long for what it is... By the last two songs, I was really tired of the whiney voice of the singer. Saved tracks: Slip Inside This House, Higher Than the Sun

Wierd but nice album

This is just the happiest album.

Much underrated Primal, they are the epitome of eclecticism, they never played it safe and went into some very interesting musical corners and came out the better for it. I'm a Bobby fan period, love his style and range, Shaun get's all the plaudits from this era, but aye Bobby is the man for me. I saw them in Adelaide at the 2000 BDO and it was a fantastic show, they were touring XTRMNTR but they gave a pretty good broad based show of their stuff. I love the soul influences and the way it blends with the house sounds, a great production. Like all good records they capture the zeitgeist perfectly,(think Trainspotting), Don't Fight It Feel It is out of this world and funky as fuck, as is Loaded. They are the whole pre Britpop vibe, a great era for British pop music. Love this record.

Mostly boring.

Really enjoyed this. Knew some tracks already, but a lot of it was new to me. Loaded is probably my favourite Primal Scream track. I really liked I’m Comin’ Down, although it reeks of Jesus & Mary Chain. And also loved Don’t Forget It Feel It - especially the female vocals. Enjoyed the dub approach on Come Together & Jah Wobble’s part in Higher than The Sun. In fact, the laid-back feel of the last 4 tracks was really easy to listen to. Did they ever make a better album?

I have loved this record since it came out. The songs are, perhaps, not that strong, but the production and mood lifts this into the all time classic range. Its a night in the clubs, with the chill-out come-down at the end. The spaced-out, dubbed-out, extended dance mix production turn this into an album that I can listen to over and over again. Loaded is a staple of my DJ sets, but in context, event he weaker songs on this album work because of the way they contribute to the mood and journey of the record. love it.

Higher than the sun 👌 Очень похоже на сонгс оф фэйт энд дивоушн Госпел, брейкбит замедленный, медитативность, транс Come together

My expectations were pretty damn low for an album titled 'Screamadelica,' so there was no other option than to be pleasantly surprised. I thought this was going to be hard-core, screaming metal, but it was a nice psychedelic trip instead. Meandered a bit too long in the middle and failed to draw any emotion. Overall, it wasn't revolutionary for me, but it wasn't offensive. Quintessential 3/5.

Probably guilty of things I’ve marked other albums down for. Don’t care, I’m real into this stuff.

You know, after the name of the artist and the album itself, not to mention the slightly off-putting album cover, I was expecting a much more hard to listen to album than the one I got. This was a pretty joyful album all things considered, and while a lot of it was background noise, it was pretty enjoyable music. Perhaps this is heightened musically on something like LSD, but it's still pretty nice without it. Nothing amazing, and a lot of it forgettable, but I don't regret listening. I suppose just throw it in with other 90's electronica.

Banger instrumentals, gets rea experimental sometimes with the electronic sounds. Some of the tracks are underwhelming and could be cut. The singles and the standouts shine through. Also I'm obsessed with the album art. She's cute.

À quoi bon finalement

une love hate relationship je dirais

Not bad, one good song. Bit repetitve.

It was fine. Nothing stood out to me & it’s quite unmemorable. 2 1/2 stars if I could.

Favourite song: Higher than the Sun

WTF. I can't give this one star because I liked the first song but it's really close. Everything on this album was awful. Just a sprawling mess.

Nice album, good trip.

Certainly an influential album, Screamadelica brought the Alternative Rock and mixed it with Acid House and Techno. In what can be describedas a "vibe" for its era as a drug album, we can see it's impact on the era. What it lacks in depth, it makes up for in general swagger and what it meant for bringing dance music of the early 90s to a wider audience.

Very groovy and catchy sometimes Don’t like it’s acoustic mixes such as “I’m comin down” Sounds like LSD, like this trippy vibe

Interesting. The name hinted at something far more intense and less enjoyable.

not bad, but too long and I got bored.

2.7, it was fine

Thought there would be way more screaming. This album is VERY long and not my deal but Movin on up is a hit….

I really like Primal Scream, and this is a very good album. Its got at least three stand out tracks, and the whole theme of being on drugs among young people is very consistent. 4/5

Psychedelic background music!

OK - but pretty overrated. I recall 'Loaded' from back in the day.

Fave tracks: Movin’ on up, higher than the sun, damaged,shine like stars fine background music 2/5

This is an album that hasn't aged particularly well because it came out before a bunch of advances in electronic music equipment and technique were pioneered. However, I'm sure that this was a really cool album at the time, especially since it was coming from an indie rock band that was abandoning its roots to explore electronic music. Overall it's a fun dance album. It can be a bit repetitive, but they were dealing with some technological limitations on that end. Integrating electronica into rock has become much less of a feat for an indie band than it was 30 years ago. 3/5 still worth a listen, but it sounds really dated now

Screamadelica came along at an interesting time. When Madchester and the Summer of Love '89 Redux gave way to dwindling fortunes and diminishing returns, Primal Scream came out with a snapshot of their transformation from twee C86 inspired rockers to paint-splattered ecstacy riddled hedonists. Gospel infused rockers, ambient dub fusions, reinterpretations of 60s psych rock classics and bombastic declarations of feeling are brilliantly displayed throughout a triumphant hour. Their most popular and important record by a long mile, this remains their magnum opus and endlessly listenable from start to finish.

Where's my dub :(

Never heard of the album or the band, sorry to say. very good music.

Did not enjoy. Album dragged for eternity. Felt like a playlist rather than an album. Not a well thought out playlist though. Band covered 10 genres in 11 songs

Some really interesting tunes. I particularly liked 'Slip inside this house'. Overall, a bit too weak for four stars, though.

There’s a common style running through these Scottish bands of the time: these guys and Soup Dragons and Jesus and Mary Chain. Very good stuff.

What a bunch of nothing. How can you have a 60 minute long album without a single cool or interesting idea? All the songs sound like loading screen music and, most definitely, do not include any primal screams. Seriously, this shit is softer than a baby's kneecaps. I like the album cover though. It's such a silly little guy.

I expected more screaming.

'Come Together' begins a sample of Jesse Jackson's speech from the WattStax concert of 1972. On this album is sounds like a simple exhortation of unity. In reality, it was a call specifically around Black unity and Black consciousness. But of course, all that tricky political stuff is entirely denuded by Primal Scream. I feel that this example sums up this unsatisfying melange of meandering soundscapes and signifiers so divorced from their sources that they float away into nothingness. Highly satisfactory, utterly boring and shorn of any context, revolutionary or otherwise. Fuck this noise.

I got about three songs in and Apple Music stopped working completely and has yet to recover, even after signing out of my account and signing back in. It does not want me to listen to this album. As such, I think the universe is trying to tell me something. To which I say to the universe: fucking THANK YOU! Because those three songs were not good. Unfortunately, I did want to copy and past the blurb about this album that's on Apple Music, but won't be able to word for word. But it was freaking hysterical. Literally used the words "blew the minds of a collective generation" in some form or another. Hahaha! I don't know a soul from ANY generation who has ever said a word about this album. Except the author of this list.

Bof

wonderful, will listen again

It had been a while since we had any songs from the soundtrack to GTA: San Andreas, so it was a pleasure to listen to 'Movin' On Up' for the first time in a while. What a great track. If only the rest of the record was like this. But it is not. The few times I have revisited this very 90's effort from Primal Scream I always end up feeling that it is very much a chore to get through this acid house inspired marathon record. I realize that it's only an hour long, but it feels like an eternity. Besides straight up boring stuff like 'Inner Flight', a lot of the tracks simply cannot keep me interested for their entire runtime (looking at you 'Come Together'). The number one drug anthem 'Loaded' just might be the exception to this, and there are other nice parts like 'Higher than the Sun', but in totality this is a record that just doesn't work for me.

Arguably one of the most 90’s-sounding records ever. I’ve tried to get through Screamadelica earlier but never made it in one sitting. I’ve always opted out at some point. Now is the chance for Primal Scream to live up to the hype. First of all - this actually contains more elements that I was genuinely interesting in and wanted more of. “Movin’ On Up”, “Higher Than the Sun” (the The Orb mix, that is) and Loaded are all great. And there are ideas of pure genius spread across most tracks from the kaleidoscopic track list. The unfortunate part? The band rarely manages to catch their own ideas as they come flying towards them. Releasing an album as a remix album from the get go? Interesting. Does it work? No. A great deal of songs greatly surpassing the 6 minute mark? Not when it includes the ridiculous “Come Together”. But at least I’m able to dance and throw a party to this 62 minute acid dance album, right? Once again the answer will disappoint you.

Overrated probably. It’s a very good album but I don’t think it’s the classic others hold it up as.

I've been pretty down on the other Primal Scream entries, primarily because the name sets me up to expect something that isn't what the band delivers. This was great though. The songs and performances worked for me.

Movin' On Up and Loaded have always been on my playlists over the years but there's actually quite a lot here worth a second or third listen for me...so going to rarified air my friend with a 4 stars.

George Michael does shrooms.

Very high highs, very low lows.

Lastig een vinger op te leggen wat voor soort muziek het is maar het klinkt af en toe wel lekker zoals bij loaded of moving on up, maar zitten ook wel wat mindere tussen. Intressant album

Dit luisterde echt heeeel makkelijk weg!! Zonnetje buiten, in de trein, boekie erbij! Daarnaast zou ik echt prima uitgaan op don’t fight it, feel it Moest tussendoor wel 8 keer checken of ik niet door het album heen was omdat het zo vaak veranderd van genre voor m’n gevoel, maar vind het wel echt vet gemaakt allemaal Eigenlijk 3,5 maar da ken hier nie

Zo’n album waar ik de cover zo vaak ben tegengekomen, maar nooit de titel wist. Prima album, paar hoogtepunten maar sommige gingen iets te lang door. 3,5

I much prefer "Give Out But Don't Give Up", but this is OK. Too much filler though to be more than average. Loaded and Moving on Up are the stand out tracks. Then there are tracks such as Don't Fight It, Feel It that are too much boring repetitive rave and not enough music.

When your assignment is a previously unknown album called Screamadelica by Primal Scream, you might well imagine something different than this. The only screaming here was when I was begging "Come Together" to please finally end. For the love of God, make it stop! Other than that track, this was a reasonable listen and provided a decent soundtrack to the day. It's not a favorite genre, though, and I have a feeling that this is one of those that will soon slip out of my memory.

I really enjoyed most of the album. There were a few moments where the vibe kind of lagged for me, but overall, I found it quite good!

A couple of these songs are strong 5s for me (Movin' On Up, Loaded) and I already knew and liked Come Together from Trainspotting. I had a good time grooving to the rest. I will want to listen again.

I listened to Vanishing Point from Primal Scream a month or two ago and I mentioned that I needed to look further into this group. Good thing it came up here because I had not been proactive about following through on that… The songs are sometimes psychedelic, sometimes rock, sometimes gospel, sometimes bluesy, sometimes who knows what. This album is a remarkably varied yet coherent collection of diverse songs. So so good! I was into this from beginning to end!

Light and softy

This record sounds like it's built for a DJ to mix and spin how they please. What a ride.

Era defining, ground breaking, manufactured indi pop which now sounds like a couple of good songs and a load of filler. Diminished greatly in retrospect.

Rock-dance alternativo. Me ha gustado. Un 4.

Alternative dance, neo-psychedelia. Muy agradable.

Primal Scream certainly are unafraid to mash different genres together, and regardless of the results more bands ought to have that kind of creativity. This band is many things, but they’re almost never boring.

This album came out the same year I was born! I like to think I've aged better.

nice and catchy am listening rn soo cool

Enjoyed Movin on up, Come Together, Damaged and loaded. Cohesive album, expected screamo... not screamo but don't know what genre it is tbh, very psychedelic. Another 3... would not complain if its on... but probably won't listen to it again willingly for a while.

movin on up - 5 slip inside this house - 4 don’t fight it feel it - 4 higher than the sun - 4 inner flight - 5 come together - 3 loaded - 4 damaged - 5 i’m coming down - 3 shine like stars - 3

Interesting

A lot of weird sounds used. The best songs were Movin On Up and Loaded

There are some albums you respect, admire or are even awestruck by. And then others that are just love. This is one of those I cannot love enough. Ten reasons why: 1. It easily passes the ‘what’s it like without the big hit singles’. Take out Movin On Up, Loaded and Come Together and you still have one almighty album. 2. Loaded is surely by common consent the greatest remix ever - and the Higher Than The Sun Orb remix and Terry Farley 12” remix of Come Together are not far behind. 3. It’s one of the great studio albums - like London Calling, The Hounds of Love or Revolver. By that I mean there’s a great producer at the helm (here the sainted and sadly departed Andy Weaterall, Jimmy Miller, The Orb and Hypnotone) and a sense of everyone pushing their skills and the tech to the max. 4. It’s the album - the track - that brought dance and guitars together. Well, it and Fool’s Gold. Unpopular view: it’s a better album than The Stone Roses. 5. Nobody, not even his mum, knows whether Bobby Gillespie can actually sing or not. 6. They left the title track off the bloody album! 7. It’s the entire PS career in one album - Memphis 70s rock, dub reggae, a rock band’s take on acid house, ambient. About the only thing missing is the Ramonesesque racket they’d get to on Xterminator. 8. There’s not one. Not two but three versions of Higher Than The Sun. 9. There must be a Memphis Sessions style original album before the fairy dust was sprinkled. Come on Creation. 10. The cover was - like all great albums of the time - a great t-shirt.

Woooh! Good and interesting psychedelic rock

Listenable, but not what is go for

I’m familiar with a few Primal Scream songs, and I do like the ones I’ve heard. I was surprised the first time I heard them because I expected them to be death metal or something - the name Primal Scream would suggest being quite brutal, but this isn’t the case. Songs I already knew: Movin’ On Up, Come Together, Loaded Favourites: Movin’ On Up, Loaded Screamadelica seems to find the line between trippy and catchy music. Oftentimes, I’ve found psychedelic rock to be a little too far into the weird, to the point that it becomes hard to listen to. Primal Scream toes this line, but never becomes hard to listen to. There are plenty of catchy hooks that I found myself easily singing along to. For some reason, I always thought Loaded was by The Prodigy, but that might be become it is a little similar to Stand Up by them. Overall, I really enjoyed this album, and am happy to have heard an album in full.

Good vibes, but several songs were a few minutes longer than they had any right being.

It's ok

Interesting mixture of Indie Rock and more experimental stuff. Starting with Movin' on gave me the wrong impression of the album. This album would be more of a background music for me rather than an active "Headphones on eyes closed" kind of listen. Damaged has to be my favourite and is being added to my playlist right now. I really liked this album overall and thing it very much deserves to be on this list

Definitely felt like a typical Rolling Stones copy at first, but really branched out into some interesting stuff. Nice blend of different genres.

Really appreciated the ambition on this

This is so irrelevant. It makes you wish samplers never existed. A boring collection of one-bar loops and ugly synth sounds in a frivolous neo-hippie pseudo psychedelic revival

3.4/5

3.5 gets better each time I hear it.

Light and psychedelic. Was expecting something a little more aggressive but liked it’s mellow vibe

Started listening and then skipped through towards the end. Could not get into this. Reminds me of anything else that could've come out of England around that time and it's just not my jam.

They all sort of fade together after a while and become indistinguishable. More like one long song than 11 individual and unique ones. I enjoyed it for the most part. A little innovative, but not mind blowing. 3/5

Dreadful. Lots of people liked this at the time, but they were mostly on drugs, which is really the only way to get through this tedium.

Kein akustischer Totalausfall, klingt allerdings wie zig andere Platten in den Neunzigern auch geklungen haben und dabei wahrlich nicht besonders inspiriert. Ist zu lang und die einzelnen Songs sind auch zu lang.

Je n'ai pas du tout accroché, pas mon genre. J'ai trouvé les chansons longues

This album was really cool. Like early bloghouse.

I thought this was dope, gonna listen more!

Great start to the album but kind of petered out toward the end. Overall was pleasantly surprised. 3.5 / 5 so I'll go 3/5

It just wasn’t really my deal. Couldn’t connect with it

Skør blanding af alle mulige gerne, lidt indierock, lidt dance, føles rimelig friskt

Feels a little tired but then ends quite pleasantly hazy. A spiffed and modernized Stones sound, a kinder-gentler Oasis. All-around groovy and the mellower the better. The band seems to have been quite opportunistic in blending clubby-ravey tropes with an indie rock heart. Doesn’t seem like it should work as well as it does. Last few cuts best.

legalzinho mas não muito empolgante

A somewhat long and drawn out album that really seemed like a mess of styles and rhythms. It was confusing listening to this album as it didn’t have any real structure or similar sounds. I thought some songs were ok but several others were not worth listening. 4.3/10

I don’t understand the unbridled love for this album. Interesting for 1991; I don’t feel it holds up. It definitely sounds like I’ve not dropped enough E to fully appreciate the atmospheric soundscapes.

A nice blend of genres that at the time seemed cutting edge, especially for dance music. It still works but I think it would only really impress with the benefit of nostalgia. I’m guessing it probably means a lot to people who went out dancing to these mostly positive songs. As a suburban kid in the USA, that was not my experience of it unfortunately. None of the songs blow me away at this point—even Movin on Up or Loaded. Still it’s a pleasant enough way to spend an hour and think about a time when it still seemed possible that humanity might get it together.

I don't like the vocals much, but everything else makes up for it pretty well IMHO. I recommend being nice and stoned for this one. 👍

I dont like "techno" or whatever style this is best described as. I was somewhat surprised this was from early 90s, I thought the genre was more a late 90s thing. So props for being one of the originators (of something I dislike).

Okay songs but did not enjoy any in particular

I like it, its nice and pleasant sounding. I like all the different styles of music that they incorporate to make an interesting musical product. Good, I'll have to have another listen.

Tvö mjög fræg dúndurlög, restin áhugaverð tónlistarblanda og á köflum áheyrileg. En æi, þetta er alveg minn smekkur.

Ah, Loaded, what a way to start an evening. Damaged, amazingly tender. But let's just talk about Movin' on up -one of the just inspiring, semi-religious quality tunes ever written. You need a pick me up? There you go. And all done to the backdrop of drugs, the early 90's UK music scene and erm, more drugs. Yeh well there's a lot of things here that don't work unless well, that lots of drugs thing is happening, but what a snapshot in time this album is. Oh and what a tune Movin' on up is. Says everything that these days it's on my running playlist. 90's me would be ashamed of me

Firmly planted in the 90s. Quite enjoyable. I grew tired of the modulated space sound bleeps, but hey, they were hip at the time. This was a favourite album of a previous student, so I enjoyed remembering the music chats we had. Thanks 1001 albums.

I was listening to this, and I thought, gee, these songs all sound a bit like that long, groovy, repetitive early-90s song - which then popped up as track no 7, Loaded. This whole album made me feel like I was in a Scottish dance club in 1991.

Not a big fan. Just very dated electronica with some singing. 5/10.

- First Primal Scream album I've listened to - Can see why this album is a cult classic - Hard to place what genre it is in a very good way - Doesn't sound anywhere near as old as it is - Fav songs: Movin' on Up, Loaded, Damaged

Perhaps the most pleasant surprise thus far.

Not very primal or screamy, but still pretty good whatever the hell genre this is. Honestly feels like the UK version of shibuya-kei. 4 stars.

If I have one thing to criticise this iconic album is that its a bit too long

wow really interesting. that opening track nails a beautiful homage to 60's bands like the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. After that it takes a dive into a more bizarre 80's/90's amalgamation, seems like they couldn't decide on a cohesive direction for the album. Has flavors of Oasis. Gets back to that 60s rock vibe at Come Together, and Loaded. I think my biggest complaint is the lack of direction it seems like they were trying to do two very different things with the album.

Ok

This was awesome, how have I not listened to this before

This was better than I expected 3*

A couple of good songs but not a fan on the whole.

Second album from these guys -- and I think if someone made a mix of my favorite songs from their albums I would probably like it. But this album overall was tough to get through. So I'll give it 2 stars since there were some songs I enjoyed but also because I sighed when I came back to my computer and remembered I wasn't done with it yet

I got excited during tracks 1 and 2, and then was thoroughly bored for the next 50 minutes. It’s painful when s as seven minute song never goes anywhere, and much worse when they’re lined up one after another.

Every single track is too long. Not my jam. (previously listened)

I never thought I knew Primal Scream until I heard the song Movin' On Up, which I was familiar with. I am having a hard time figuring out what genre of music they should be catagorized in, because their music is such a mash up of different styles. Certainly the common denominator in all their songs is an electronic/pop/house music style which is heavy with sampling and beat loops. Their songs are also interlaced with rock/psychedelic/gospel/jazz/funk... and the list goes on. Some of this experimentation and mixing doesn't hit for me (space type beeps and bops/irritating synth notes etc.), however there are a few beautiful songs on this album. I found that a few songs went on in an infinite loop for too long and I lost focus. This is the kind of album that would be great playing in the background at a house party, or when you are high as a kite. Favourite songs: Movin' On Up, Come Together (instills feelings of hope and unity in me when I listen to it), Loaded, Damaged Least favourite songs: "Don't Fight It, Feel It", Inner Flight, Higher Than the Sun, Shine Like Stars Additional note: the version of the album I listened to on Spotify contained a few bonus tracks: Stone My Soul, Carry Me Home, and Screamadelica. These additional tracks were not bad, all of which had a slower, more intimate feel to them. 2/5

Interesting album. Can't say I loved it, but I can see how this was influential and so I'm giving it an extra star. I thought "Loaded" was pretty good - and I thought I recognized the drum part. I looked it up on "WhoSampled" and was amazed to find that the same drum part (originally from "The Jam" by Graham Central Station) has been used on hundreds of songs! This 1001 Albums Generator has had me listening to a lot of music that I don't exactly love. Sometimes it feels like homework to listen to these albums. But it is certainly expanding my knowledge of music history and pop culture and that is pretty awesome.

Not sure what to make of this hearing it again. I quite enjoyed it, but it sounds fairly pedestrian now.Especially compared to what they did after this. At the time it seemed forward-thinking, with it’s idea of combining catchy rock riffs and dance beats. Some of it sounds like wallpaper now (Higher Than The Sun especially), but that may just be familiarity with the genre / style. Movin’, Come Together and Loaded all still sound great, although it seems telling that these are the ones that seems most easily traceable back to their Rolling Stones roots.

More of an Andrew Weatherall album than a stand alone Scream release. I was very naive in the early 90's. I missed out on all the best drugs and music. So this passed me by, apart from the singles. Loaded was all over the crappy student discos. I soon grew bored. This is a good album, but I'm not prepared to archive it in a Museum celebrating Buzzing Off Yer Tits. It's very dated, but still danceable. Don't Fight It, Feel It is the stand out for me.

Enjoyed this jangle pop album more than I thought I would.even added two songs from it to some of my playlists.

-7/10. The worst album in the history of music. If I could give it less stars I would

The best thing I can say is boring and indulgent.

Really cool layering of sound affects and good vocals, but the songs were stretched out too long sometimes

So funky and weird I like it. It’s euphoric

Très joyeux, me fait penser à un road-trip. Top!! À réécouter.

Who are these early nineties albums for? All the expression of a stale saltine.

Oh I'm EXCITED about this one - just in the first 30 seconds I'm EXCITED. It's my style. The beat, the lyrics, the musicality - they got my number. Can't help but bop my head. I would get out of bed to start the day for this song. Can confirm that I've played "Movin on Up" many many times as my "get out of bed and start the day" motivational song - in US, France, and England. Works across continents. It's the exact type of "morning montage happening in tandem with the opening movie credits" that used to be big in rom com films in the 90s and I do enjoy a cinematic morning. So that's the stand-out but Loaded also jumped out at me. I love the intro to it. Don't' Fight it, Feel it was great first listen, although on repeat listens the warbly whistle gets old.

Wow, been meaning to listen to this album forever. Not at all what I'd expected from the name. It's a bit repetitive, but it stayed interesting to me. Definitely into it. Standouts: Movin' on Up, Slip Inside This House, Come Together, Loaded, Damaged

establishing shot music hardest album to listen to so far which is surprising to me cause i think on paper id like this? made a believer out of MEAAA

Wat moeilijk om into te geraken maar verbazend goed.

Some fun songs, but not really for me.

Molto trippy, le canzoni sono anche piuttosto famose. Non male.

i definitely needed that😮‍💨😃 fun in a bun...whats next homie

"The Prodigy" + "Foals" best of: "Slip inside this house" and "Shine like stars"

T3B 1. Loaded 2. Slip Inside This House 3. Movin’ on Up

Very famous first song. Incredibly important album at the time but not so compelling to listen to now.

Finalmente um álbum psicodélico entregou mais do que eu esperava, camadas sonoras oníricas envolventes.

Really liked the first song then it progressively got weirder, just not my thing

First song great

Good sound with a few standout tracks that I liked. Damaged and Movin on Up were favorites.

It’s chaotic. The first half sounds like it was written by a bunch of super high kids who were fascinated by all of the new sound effects uploaded into their synth who made a collective pact to use as many of them in every song as possible. And the second half is like weird bird noises and people snoring over what I imagine they play in opium dens. Super “vibey” but not in a cool way. I hate it. It’s definitely a psychedelic album and I can say with certainly I’ve never been as high as these people.

Pretty good late 90’s tech, enjoyed it. Nothing spectacular though

A classic of early '90s psychedelic pop. Songs generally hold up to time pretty well, all things considered. A certifiable Very Good Record.

Decent. Some songs kind of just go on without much change in their sound, but they definitely aren’t unpleasant. Overall I like the sunny/druggy sound. 6/10

False advertisement. They did not scream. Was all right though, pretty chill.

This was really nice. Strangely interesting but fun.

Ellevill klassiker

ikkje for meg

Really cool sounds, reminded me a little bit if gorillaz, did they influence them?

Primal Scream is by far the worst thing I’ve had to subject myself to during this journey. That said, this wasn’t as awful as Vanishing Point, but it’s not much better. The first half of the album was better. I didn’t even mind some of the songs. But by the second half, they were wearing out their welcome and it dragged. Please tell me this is the last Primal Scream album I’ll have to listen to? I cannot understand what anyone sees in this music. The highlight of this album is the cute little sun/plankton blob thing on the cover art.

90s on an album

Easy to see why is an important album. Every song sounds made from a different band, I could spot a couple of later music and soundtracks inspired by this. Great with earphones.

Top 3 Songs: 1 - Slip Inside This House (2) 2 - Don't Fight It, Feel It (3) 3 - Higher Than the Sun (4)

Ok if you're in the mood for it.

4.5

Bought this the week it came out, haven't heard it in ages but still know every note! Era-defining stuff, but docked a point for the bloated version of Come Together, which so disappointed me on first hearing that it wasn't the (much better) single version. Can't find the title track (from the Dixie Narco EP) streaming anywhere, would have made a good substitute.

Not bad. Wouldn’t say it’s my cup of tea, but recognize impact band had on broader sound.

Ritmos en ocasiones un tanto psicodélico, en otros más suave y discotequero, también algo de pop y rock. Original y distinto de escuchar. Me hubiese gustado que tuviese algo más de intensidad

Showing its age but still a great album.

Not my favourite album by the scream, and very much of its time, but still sounds great.

A beautiful and creative album full of infectious, hypnotic rhythms and takes inspiration from multiple genres. Rewards multiple listens.

I’m not at a British rave 30 years ago. If I was, then maybe this would be exciting, new, or revolutionary. Maybe. Hard to put it into perspective that far from the muddy aftermath of some boozed out, soon to be meth head’s first rave.

Pretty cool

Oh Man what an album - a soulful, fun rave and really there is nothing like it out there: it truly befits this list - one MUST listen to this album once in their lives.

Not a huge fan of 6 minute long repetitive songs, but this is classic 90s rock/alternative/dance fusion. A little something for everyone Favorite Tracks: Movin' On Up, Loaded, Come Together

2/3

A dose of whatever you enjoy probably makes the repetitive songs more enjoyable. Also used the same sample as Mudhoney for Loaded but made it a song. Of the moment at the time.

Very good

This was not what I expected but I enjoyed it!

I've always had a liking for Primary Scream but never really dug in. This album is great with Movin' on Up being such a classic. Come Together and Loaded are great tracks too.

Big nostalgia bump on this one, but also, c'mon, this shiz is iconic. Era defining, even! Fave track - "Come Together" leading into "Loaded" - awesome one two pairing!

Good time, probably like it more if I was stoned

Enjoyed this a lot!

Movin' On Up is a great way to start a record, and some of the darker songs towards the end (Damaged and I'm Coming Down) are really interesting, but on the whole this just doesn't really do anything for me

This album got instantly better when it went ended and Tricky came on instead.

Perfect from start to finish

Really odd. Not sure if it’s something I can listen to again, but it was really excellent at what it set out to do.

Interesting mix of house, jangle pop, and the Madchester scene. Overall the album was enjoyable if not a tad too long.

when i saw the album art i thought oh, THIS shit is very good. it’s so cute just look at it. the songs themselves were just ok and all kind of sounded like each other but i just like this little guy on the album cover so much. some of the songs were even pretty good.

J'ai souvent vu cette pochette. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce style en écoutant l'album. Ça sonne vraiment très dance 90's (voir Acid House ici). C'est pas mauvais, mais je commençais à trouver un peu long. J'ai probablement déjà entendu Movin' on Up. Content de l'avoir écouté, mais ce n'est pas un disque que je vais chercher à avoir.

Quand meme bin, tres electro explosif en melangeant plein de dtyle et son. J'ai aime pour le vibe j etait mais 1h28 spptify... j'ai pas une spiree a mettre la fessus 3.5

Interesting house music.

Such a relief that they are not the Pearl Jam esq middling rock band from the early 90s that I thought they were. Some great tracks on here let down by the last few.

It was alright.

Almost a 4...

Tiene "Movin' on up" y el resto es divertido pero poco más. Tengo buen recuerdo de él, lo mismo era otro yo el que lo escuchaba pero esta vez se me ha hecho pesado. Entiendo que debe estar en una liste de 1000 discos que escuchar pero no es algo para todos los días.

Dakle, interesantan album. Po coveru, nazivu i žanru u kakvoj je kombinaciji sam mislio čak da će biti nešto slično Sublime-u, ali drago mi je da sam bio u krivu.

Faaaajn

2/5 not enough

Al escucharlo uno puede entender lo influyente que fue durante todos los 90. Me imagino que alguien que ven[ia saliendo de los 80, del hair metal y del pop de sintetizadores tiene que haber pensado que estos sonidos eran del futuro, algo desconocido y a la vez familiar. En cualquier caso, no me gust[o, salvo Loaded, que me suena familiar, pero nunca podr[ia haber relacionado con este album o este grupo.

i liked the music i thought it was cute and fun it was just sort of basic? like nothing out of the ordinary or unexpected but it was good.

Immediately recognized the opening notes of "Movin' On Up" - what a throwback. It's a good song, head-bopper, nothing amazing or revolutionary just...listenable. Which sort of applies to every song on the album. Probably why the name of the band/song didn't immediately make me remember anything because it all sort of blends into that very early 90s dance-rock sound ... I was feeling good about this album about halfway through and then realized...I could have started this album at any point and felt the same at any 3 or 4 minute segment. Just....fine. Is that just the definition of average? (also the 2nd half of laconic trippy repetition started putting me to sleep which made the downgrade to 2 easier) 5/10 2 stars.

Decent enough
