Lazer Guided Melodies

I don't like it

Slow-burning, narcotic textures built from droning guitars, organ swells, simple repetitive rhythms, and vocals delivered in a distant, weary murmur move this space-rock album like drifting through a dimly lit tunnel where the lights blur into streaks—hypnotic in motion, yet numbing and isolating the longer you stay inside.

If this list didnt suck before it does now.

Listen, when I see this listed as things like "shoegaze," "indie," and "dream pop" I know I'm not going to enjoy it. But still I tried to go into this with an open mind, and honestly it was worse than I expected. Bland and boring. Songs were too long. Almost everything sounded the same. Could have died having not listened to this and would be just fine.

Complete ass. This sucked. I don't even know what this music is or what it's supposed to be. It just sounds like it wants to be a lot of different things...at one point, it's trying to be the Beatles, the next it's trying to be some sweeping soundtrack to a movie's crescendo. The vocals are lukewarm thin gruel. The songs don't go anywhere, they just meander. The guitars are just mushy and indistinguishable. Symphony Space is just a mood noise mess that's not interesting at all. Really, I've made the promise to myself that I'm going to listen to the full albums no matter how much I hate them but this is pushing my limits. I don't get why this album is on this list. I mean, I listened to Dark Side of the Moon the other day and that's absolutely fantastic. One of their lesser known works is Meddle, which is absolutely fantastic and probably my favorite Pink Floyd album out of all of theirs. And I don't know why that doesn't make the cut over something like this. It's a vastly more interesting album and a vastly more talented band...even if it's not as well known as Dark Side of The Moon or Wish You Were Here, something like that deserves a spot over whatever this is.

2/10

I really didn’t like this. What’s the point of it? Plodding, overlong tracks that don’t ever go anywhere. I’d imagine the lead singer thinks his vocals are psychedelic, but he just sounds like a breathless, incoherent fool. Begs belief that this is on the list where more coherent and interesting groups like Gomez aren’t.

Boring, and not in a fun way.

Esto es música ambiente para un anuncio de colonia. Es como los Stone Roses pero sin talento ni carisma ni, sobre todo, canciones.

Not bad...Just unremarkable and boring.

Guide a laser into my eardrums

n curti, muito paradao

what if we made Pink Floyd but like a lot worse??? was LSD a pre-req for this to be an “album to listen to before I die”? not sure I get it

Boring, slow, repetitive, and uninspired. "Essential" albums shouldn't sound so lame that I could have recorded them in my basement without any musical experience or skill.

Jesus

Not only does the crap not belong on a list of "musts," it doesn't belong anywhere. Cut out the garbage, weird, obnoxious, and stupid is just weird, obnoxious, and stupid, not something one needs to hear. 0.00

Sleepy as shit

Disappointing

Meh

# Album Name: Lazer guided melodies # Artist: Spiritualized # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Absolutely terrible. jesus, what did i just listen to. Definitely need to be high AF for this. I was not. # Top Tunes: # Would I listen to it again? No

I don't know if there will ever be a day when I enjoy this, but it's really pissing me off today.

Sounded like a soundtrack, to what I don't know.

More like Lazer Guided Piffle. This is the most yawnsomy, bleary hour-long pile of whatever I’ve encountered yet on this list. I can’t bring myself to call it Space Rock or Dream Pop, I’d instead have to give it blank spaces in regard to genre descriptors. After listening to this I feel about as spiritualised as Steve The Extremely Serious Atheist at the world’s most serious atheist convention.

Ugh

Way too trippy Would’ve loved this in my partying days, but not now

Lame as fuck

woah, ok, very spacey feeling, good for background white noise. Otherwise, don't like it

ah...shoegaze...i see.. Conversation that never happend: A: Hey let's listen to that song symphony space again B: oh hell yeah that track is so awesome A: yeah and it has the perfect length

Another boring album taking up a spot on this list that could have been filled by an actually good album.

Boring, bland, forced myself to listen to the full thing. Upon further research, realised it was the guy from Spacemen 3 and I hated that album when it came up too.

Yawn. No thanks. 2.

Nobody really has to listen to this crap. Its a zero for me

Like Oasis or Stone Roses but very boring and no grit.

The first song is a 1-4-5 chord progression, the most common in Western popular music. Second song is a 1-4. Third song is a 1-4. Fourth song sounds like a 5-4-1. Ok, the songwriting is crap, got it. How about the singer and band? Middling and lousy. An amateur production all the way down. I wondered why I hadn't heard of this album. Now I know why. Lazer Guided Turd.

Boring, can't finish it

Great album to listen to while on drugs. Probably. 2/10

1 star for taking up space on the list that a real album could have occupied. And for a stupid band name and album name. And for a dumb album cover. And for being tiring to listen to.

Ewww not another one. 1.33

What is this?

Belongs in outer space. Far, far, away.

maleeeeeeeesemo

did-not-listen

Better than hip hop, but still a genre low point. Not my style

What on Earth is this? The genre is so-called space rock. What is that? Definitely not for me.

Unknown band for me. Too weird and repetitive for me to the point of annoyance. I listened to most of the album with reluctance.

Nooo

Second album de ce groupe après 'Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space' que je n'avais pas vraiment apprécié (2/5). Celui-ci n'est guère mieux. Les morceaux sont relativement lents, longs (plus d'une moitié > 5 mn), et peu variés. Même pas un petit chorus pour relever l’intérêt, mais une voix omni présente pour 'chanter' (c'est un bien grand mot) des mélodies peu inspirées. Interminable ... j'ai décroché avant la fin. =>1/5

The kind of music I expect to hear when I'm on hold when they clearly want me to hang up.

Weird music with tons of noise and repetition. Pass. Best song: I Want You

When listening to this all I could think of was what I would rather listen to. That can't be good...

Also known as “Lazer Guided Melodies (But the Lazers are pointed directly at your Eyes)”

Nope. Weirdly slow. Slowly weirder. Ultimately, weird and slow.

Aural wallpaper! Pretty but forgettable.

Its like boring soundscapes that should be found in a museum exhibit. But there's no interesting visuals to go with it.

Boring self indulgent crap.

Feels like background music at a restaurant where I am not really enjoying the food.

1. true - 1.5 2. nouu - 1 3. you - 1 4. run - 1 5. zmilez - 0 6. breeze - 1.5 7. zpace - 1.5 8. time - 0 9. light - 1 10. angel - 0 11. zuuay - 0 12. barz - 0

Listen, I like chill-out and minimalism, but this just ain't it.

no

I cant believe, absolutely refuse to believe that people think this is good

I think some of the songs would have been okay if there wasn't a constant humming/thrumming background sound in most songs. Some songs were swirly space sounds. Definitely not my style.

2 of this bands piece of shit albums in a week is a war crime

3.67 rym figura come dream pop quindi so già che mi fa cagare 1/5

Seltsame Musik ... Eine sich wiederholende Aneinanderreihung von Tönen, oftmals ohne Gesang. Muss man meiner Meinung nach wirklich nicht gehört haben.

Space rock band!? NO thanks.

Not for me

Vyöryy ja velloo niin kuin se olisi jotain positiivista.

p692. 1992. 1 star. Tedious electro space rock. The bastard love child of the Stone Roses and Brian Eno, but without the quality or talent of either. This just goes on and on and on...

Awful! Who listens to this garbage?

what you should listen to when you actually don't really feel like listening to anything at all.

Meh. Boring.

All of the aesthetic of 80s rock with none of the charm. F teir.

I almost fell asleep during the first track.

I don't usually like to say this about an artist but I'm making an exception in this case. ANYONE and I mean literally ANYONE could make this record. It took zero talent it effort to make this.

I really hated this one. Such a bore, and they slaughtered call me the breeze. Just terrible in every way.

Too repetitive

Crap. Didn't like any of the tracks.

uma merda

don’t get it

This is the debut studio album of Spiritualized, a spin off of Spaceman 3 following their dissolution. What can be categorized as space rock, this album is minimalist and devoid of emotion or energy. This album is pretentious and boring.

hmm

boring, listless, uninteresting, uninspired, bland

I feel like Spiritualized makes the Gallagher brothers seem humble.

An hour long snoozefest. The only song having some kind of dynamics is Take Your Time, and that was an okay track. The rest just made me long for the album to end

I have never heard of this alternative band. Makes decent background music. Reminds me of that 90’s movie with Ethan Hawke and Winona Ryder “Reality Bites.”

Das erste Album, das ich nicht zu Ende gehört habe. Unfassbar langweilig.

This was not good. Way too long and just annoying. Why does Spiritualized have two albums on this list? Avoid it

Who is this one of the 1,001 albums I should hear before I die? This was so dull it about killed me.

Gefällt mir nicht.

You know its true - ★★★☆☆ If I were with her now - ★★☆☆☆ I want you - ★★☆☆☆ Run - ★★☆☆☆ Smiles - ★☆☆☆☆ Step into the breeze - ★☆☆☆☆ Symphony space - ★☆☆☆☆ Take your time - ★★★☆☆ Shine a light - ★★☆☆☆ Angel sigh - ★★☆☆☆ Sway - ★☆☆☆☆ 200 Bars - ★☆☆☆☆

Spiritual auf ganzer Linie - nüchtern nicht meins.

Fucking space rock. Is this genre really so important that it requires more than one album of representation on the list? I hate this.

Not my jam

Yawn

I didn’t like this. I think the genre space rock should be much more exciting than what that was.

What moron put this garbage on this list? I don't give a fiddler's fuck about this "shoegaze space rock" trash. 6 minute songs in which nothing happens except echoy boops beeps and zaps, with the odd song having reverb heavy moaned lyrics laid overtop. Fuck this garbage. Try being enthusiastic about the music you're making. My God I hate shoegaze. There's an hour of my life I'll never get back. The only song that had a hope in hell of being in any way good was Run (cover of Lynyrd Skynard's song Call Me the Breeze) but it was even awful.... Just less awful. The first half of the album was "better" than the last half simply because the songs averaged only around 3:30 - 4 minutes each, whereas the last half, they average 6 minutes plus each. No one needs 6 minutes of this horseshit. The album definately overstays its welcome at just over an hour of runtime. Overall, this album is garbage. No redeeming qualities. Just utter trash. Favourite songs: Run...i guess?!? Least favourite songs: Symphony Space, Take Your Time, Shine a Light, Sway, 200 Bars, and the rest of this shitty album. 1/5

No thanks.

Slurry

That made me super sleepy. The worst song was 200 bars. I can count myself thank you very much

Lazer Guided Rackets more like

no my cup of tea

1.5

Dat viel me zwaar tegen. Ik hoopte toch op wat meer pit dan dit

This album was way too long for how much substance was actually on this. Having what felt like five minute interludes was rough. The album never felt like it actually started which may have been the point but it was missed on me. 2.2/10

Not impressed. The four-bar or eight-bar cells repeated over and ever might seek to create a trance-like feeling, but I simply found it boring. Sorry!

Very experimental

Not for me.

Boring. Too quiet

Nope not for me

did not like this, i wanted to but it just wasn’t nice to the ears. didn’t like the singers voice

I just don't get how people actually like music like this

Sehr seltsames Album. Gar nicht mein Fall. Die hälfte der Lieder sind sehr weinerlich und mega leise.

Massively insipid singer makes middle of the road songs insufferable.

Wow - this feels like the shittiest excesses of the 1960s psychedelic era wrapped in the shittiest excesses of early 1990s production techniques. A horrible assault on the ears.

Cero interés en 2021 para mi gusto. Prescindible.

eh

I think I fell asleep about 3 tracks in.

The Fences of albums. Just droning on and on with whooshing. No blorps.

No le veo sentido que esté siquiera producido

ehhhh

Couldn’t get through

30sec into the opening song and i thought "damn, i know this album is gonna be boring." after getting halfway through it, i knew i was right.

Didn't like. Seemed more like a meditation tape than real songs.

Need to be stoned to enjoy this.
