Bug

I enjoyed the guitar at parts , the sound is rough but it grew on me … the guitar solos stand out here and there but overall its not an easy listen… I suspect I’ll appreciate having heard this in my music journey though

Nah

This is not what I call music.

Vocal is terrible. Sounds flat. Songs are like a constant run on sentence. Glad when I finished listening to this album! “Don’t”. …. Seriously, is this music or just a lot of screaming. Sounds like a child having a temper tantrum or an adult with serious mental issues.

No

Påfrestande att lyssna på. Det är ju bara skrän.

not my type of rock 1/5

Gear: Grado Hemp Artwork: 💩 Mix: 💩 Musik: 💩 Wertung: 💩/5

p597. 1988. 1 star. Noisy, repetitive and redundant late 80s US indie rock. Each trac sounds the same, and the vocalist has an annoying nasal whine. Not much to like here.

Maybe it's a time capsule. Hasn't aged well. Best listened to in 1988. Much better albums that encompass the time period and sound.

Oudohko kokonaisuus. Välillä kevyttä poprokkia, välillä järjetöntä mölyä. Ei jatkoon

# 252 : I knew I wasn't going to like this… nothing good about this, not even slightly. have the people that rate something 5 stars actually listened/read/watched what they are rating?

brother can shred a guitar but can't sing worth a lick

WTF is Don't and Keep the Glove? Wow, those ruins an okay, but passable album.

It's way too noisy. It sounds like a bad bad high school band practicing

Terrible noisy shit and the singer is way out of tune.

Two songs into this album and there is no compelling reason to justify why it is on the list of 1001 albums one must listen to before they die. They sound like an average band at best; nothing new or ambitious musically or lyrically. Sorry, I really do try to be generous and open-minded but guitar distortion is something that has a place but should not be the only sound...

Some background music is pleasant and enjoyable as you listen. This is not. I am just waiting for it to be over. NO. F

Strange. Mediocre. Grim. Goth. Unenjoyable.

Not for me.

I have heard of Dinosaur JR but have never listened to them before. When this came up I was excited and not sure what I was going to get. I was expecting a Feeder, Green Day and Ash vibe. Thats exactly what I got and its not my bag at all. I found this a noisy and sloppy album. Favourite song: couldnt find one I liked Least favourite song: All of them Album artwork: Meh

Don’t know how this made the list. Can hear no talent at all and the singer’s voice really grates after a while. Needs to get to the chemist and buy a decongestant. Hopefully it sounds better nowerdays with auto-tune. Have heard better at my local open mic nights. 0.25/5 23/3/24

I was trying to find a good album out of this, but it was drowned out by just the most awful whiny vocals. "Don't" is one of the worst songs I've heard in my life.

Annoying is being nice.

Messy distorted noise.

The WiFi connection from my computer to the stereo kept dropping, and we dutifully reconnected it each time. Shouldn’t have bothered.

If not for one track (Pond Song) almost accidentally veering toward actual music this album would be complete shit. If a negative score were possible it would get minus one stars.

Rough listen. First track is decent but quickly gets worse. Wall of sound. Heavy sustained guitars, proto grunge-ish. Seemingly intentionally alt-rock singing where there's no appreciable melody to the singing. One and done for me

repetitive, unrefined, chaotic

This album makes me sigh. As a heavy metal fan I find myself unable to get into this kind of rock music. It's not metal, it's not punk, what is it? "Hard rock"? "Grunge"? "Alternative" (to what)? I feel like maybe I just missed the memo on this style or rock music. To me the noisy instruments' energy clashes with the vocals. My ears just find this mismatched, if that makes sense. So yeah, this one's a thumbs down for me. It can bug off!

Annoying! Shut up! Shut up for one hundred years!

ooof, this wasnt for me

Okay so, this was one of if not the worst things i’ve heard in my life. “Don’t”. don’t even get me started. that took years off my life. I believe an accurate comparison to this is nails on a chalkboard but nails that are so disgustingly long that they keep chopping off. God this was horrible.

The album started with a couple of songs that I didn't like but was ready to lean into the good elements and hoped that it would improve as the album went on. However, that was not to pass, instead, it devolved into incoherent screaming by the end, I did not like this album.

Awful

meh

The musicians on this album play well. The singer can suck a bag of dicks.

I really didn’t understand why this album was on here. I had never heard of this band before and I think it’s because they don’t offer anything new. The mixing on this album is terrible, I hear the singer and then distorted noise. I had to look up this band to see what I was missing, and apparently it said that they are responsible for “bringing back lead guitar.” Which is crazy because this album lacked instrumental separation and I couldn’t hear any sort of leading instrument. This album had nothing new to offer and not a single song that stood out.

Was okay

Straight sucks 1

Wrote something that wasn't saved, basically saying this was meh.

Noise is just not my thing, sorry, not sorry.

Sounded alright for an early alternative rock/grunge album, but I didn’t bother to make it through

Still not my cup of tea

Brani Preferiti: - "Yeah We Know" Note: Dopo un primo ascolto delle prima canzoni volevo tralasciare completamente l'ascolto di questo album, ho deciso però di riascoltarlo durante la calma notturna e grazie a ciò ho iniziato ad apprezzare leggermente la batteria. Il suono prodotto da questa band è interessante, sono però sicuro del fatto che non mi sarei perso niente se non avessi ascoltato questo album.

So noisy for the sake of being noisy. The singer's voice is a bit grating

Ouach j’haïs ça

This was worse than that Jon Spencer Blues Explosion album, and that’s saying something. That album was so bad that it was comical, this one was just plain bad. I can’t believe multiple so-called music editors agreed this is a “must hear” album. Has anyone checked their hearing?

Appalling dirge.

And yet another grunty American garage band who smash the cymbals and a couple of power chord strikes of the axe... and its all blah blah blah shite, the same as the rest of the 15yr olds in mom's garage. Really can't stand this dung.

Why do bands that can play insist on using people who can't sing. The music is OK, not great, but tolerable post punk/alternative rock. The singing is dreadful. Change the vocalist and maybe it gets 3 stars. As it is it gets 1

i found little remarkable about this album. i do believe it was early on the alternative scene, so its inclusion is notable. but nothing stands out to me. well that’s not necessarily the whole truth. “don’t” stood out because it’s one of the worst songs i have ever heard. screaming nonsense that hurt my ears and i have no remorse for my rating.

Some of the albums on this list make me wonder if the author of the list has functioning ear holes. Track #9 was the worst screamo bullshit I’ve ever heard. Why don’t you like me? Why? Screamed over and over again at the listener for 5:32 I think the listener should be asking Dinosaur Jr that exact question. Fuck this album, it was mediocre at best, until track #9 set the whole dumpster on fire. I wish I could give less than 1 star.

1001 albums I "must" hear? Fuck me, what is this shit? Why "must" I hear this? Is it historical? Is it significant? Was it groundbreaking?

Big drones. Boring shit. Hated this

Tough to get through. Not terrible. Just not for me.

Ugh, is this out of time and out of tune? Horrible noise.

Didn't like this one, very noisy and not for me rn. The vocalist is not really doing it for me musically.

Terrible

Twee keer geprobeerd, twee keer boos van geworden na een nummer of vier.

tinny gritty thrashy droning repetitious. the worst songs of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack

самая блевотная параша что я слышал ебаное деревеское караоке какоето

“A retrograde stylistic shift in the American underground.”

Bara nei. Upphafslagið sleppur en annars hef ég engan smekk fyrir svona proto-grungi. Leiðinlegur stanslaus distortion gítar í bakgrunni, lög sem renna flest saman í eitt, nema lagið Don't sem er botninn. Ég mun ekki hlusta aftur.

trash

Didn’t like

Not worth listening to

couldn't finish. A lot of noise, not much music

alt rock, meh
