Reviews (page 7 of 8)

This is always tough. I can hear the talent, but I just don’t care for it. I didn’t enjoy listening to this album. This is where I give two stars and feel guilty. But I will give special props to the drummer! That was my favorite part. The vocals were not my jam.

Not putting this on repeat. 2.2

Meh. The singer sucks

Screaming metal ugh

Being Fugazi I'm sure there's an interesting message in here somewhere. Unfortunately this is too punkish for my liking.

Super techno not my vibe

Like so many other albums I started off disliking it and it slowly got better but not enough to be good. 2.5/5

Not for me but I’ve heard worse.

Hardcore punk is always going to be a genre that has to catch me right on the day - with its barely intelligible lyrics, simplistic and overdriven guitars, and songs that really don't stick around, this is kind of the epitome of that. And today, it's not for me. Maybe next time.

alright

A bit too noisy for me. Sounds like it came from a garage, which was probably the point.

Listening to this is like the sonic equivalent of cutting. I understand that some are compelled towards physical pain in search of equilibrium or release. I'm not; so probably can't understand why. It's not just the cheap overdrive. It's playing songs a little bit faster than they're technically capable of. It's engaging in these seemingly random harmonic progressions. It's detuning aimed at cheap dissonance. The screaming. The whole thing just sounds like it's meant to be assaultive. Which, again, I know some people, er, appreciate. I can make out just enough of the lyrics to get that there's some kind of political message in there. I just can't make out enough to get what it is. I see that this came out the year before Rage Against the Machine formed. So maybe without Fugazi we wouldn't have Rage. That's worth a star. Another for their creativity - there's definitely a commitment to a unique sound.

Boringgggg

Not the best

Look, I was a goth/emo kid who was 16 when this album came out. It was boring and banal then, it's no different now.

Punk er ikke rigtig mig lige nu. Angiveligt er de kendt, fordi de var nogle som løsrev sig fra pladeselskaber og gjorde alt selv. Det inspirerede mange bands som jeg slet ikke kender, men bl.a. Nirvana :) Sange jeg godt kunne lide Brendan 1 Two beats off Shut the door Joe 1

I forgot I listened to this yesterday. Must not have been that great.

not for me

Wanted to love it. Merely liked it.

It is a cool album and worth the listen, just doesn’t float my boat

Not my scene but some interesting bits.

This album has a lot of thought and emotion hidden beautifully behind a post-punk, vaguely jazzy mask. I say "hidden beautifully" because it really is so well hidden that I have trouble discerning it. So many of the top-rated reviews give this a surefire 5 stars, and I'm left here wondering: what exactly is the craze all about? I'll give Fugazi some credit here. The bass is very good, and the drumming is pretty solid too. Even in some of the weaker tracks, like Greed and Shut The Door, the bass stands out as a rope of reality to cling onto. Also, there's a lot of potential for greatness here. The band really knows how to use silence to create tension, but rather than filling it (or following it) with exciting fills, the moments of tension will often flop, leaving the listener a bit unsatisfied. Amidst a sea of 5-star reviews, there's one well-approved 2-star review that puts my thoughts into words better than I could: "I don’t really like the vocals and although I see how this album could have been influential, I didn’t enjoy much of it. The almost yelled vocals that weren’t in tune were clearly on purpose [particularly noticeable on the song Merchandise], and it’s hard to say that they are bad, but they did nothing for me personally. The instrumentals are pretty good but not good enough to make me want to listen to most of the instrumental songs again." I guess a lesson here is that, while rebelling against the "musical norm" is all fun and good, there's a reason why it's the norm. (Because it sounds good.) And deviating from that norm is a dangerous game to play. 2/5 Key tracks: Brendan 1, Blueprint, Sieve-Fisted Find

It was alright but nothing that I needed to listen to.

Not my favorite. But still pretty good.

Red Hot Chili Peppers heard this and thought "We can do this." This is what was left of punk before it was completely swallowed by pop punk. A punk band hates commercialism?!? Now I've heard everything. At least these guys stayed indie their whole careers. A young Trent Reznor would have thought this band was either not hard enough or not experimental enough. The lead singer sounds like Brian Johnson from AC/DC. Could be that I just had an AC/DC album that's making me think that.

Music was alright, didn't like vocalist. Didn't really care for it.

This album asks such important questions as: What if punk music was really boring?

I'm not sure why so many hard rock, screaming albums are so influential that they make this list. Just not my thing...

This is the voice I hear in my head after I bang my head through the wall. It just hurts. I like some of the guitar work, but, good gosh, find a new singer.

Hard rock is my favorite genre, but this really didn't do anything for me. I think it was mostly the vocal style I didn't like, and to a lesser degree the guitar tone. I didn't have a favorite track - it was all just blah.

Just a bit too shouty for my liking.

Another one my girlfriend would be happy to listen to but I would grudgingly sit through it. Yeah, punk just isn’t my sorta thing!

Not for me, really.

Great two first songs, meh after

nope not fo me, couldn't stand the hole album

The third boring punk album I've had this week.

Still need to read the stuff about this

01) Turnover - 6,5 02) Repeater - 6,0 03) Brendan #1 - 5,5 04) Merchandise - 6,0 05) Blueprint - 5,0 06) Sieve-Fisted Find - 5,0 07) Greed - 5,0 08) Two Beats Off - 5,0 09) Styrofoam - 5,0 10) Reprovisional - 5,0 11) Shut the Door - 5,0 TOTAL: 5,36 (54/100) Current ranking: 260/295

I understand why this album is important but it's not something I want to listen to

I like some of the music but the singing is very hit and miss.

Good stuff. But not for me.

Repeater? I hardly know her!

This is Fugazi's debut album, and has like a punk-y alt rock thing going on (post-hardcore if the internet is to be trusted). It's pretty fast tempo for the most part, very bass-heavy and loud. Sometimes punk stuff works for me, but I'm not really feeling this one. There's a couple songs that are decent, but it's just generally a bit too loud and heavy for me. I can see the appeal, they seem like talented enough musicians, just not really my vibe. Favorite song: Blueprint Other: Repeater, Merchandise, Shut the Door 7/16/24

Not really my thing

Sounded like a crappy basement band

Indie AF. There are some interesting parts of songs (particularly the drumming and bass playing), but it never really comes together for me (the guitars are too noisy, the vocals are too shouty, and some of lyrics get a bit pedantic). However, I can hear how it influenced 90s & 00s alt rock. Highlights: "Turnover" (explosive drumming, vocals remind me of the Clash), "Sieve-Fisted Find" (I like the repeating guitar lick and bass runs) Notable: "Brendan #1" (instrumental, drums and bass make it sound like a Chili Peppers song, but then the noisy guitars come in)

Hmmmm iguess not for me

Interesting. Not my favorite but the activism is important.

I hoped to like this more than I did. It was pretty boring and nothing stood out. I waffled between giving this a 1 or a 2, but I'm going with 2 just because it's not atrocious in the same way as other things I've rated a 1. Just really blah.

Not really feeling this.

Fine, I guess. A couple songs I liked, but not all that much. Just some rather generic rock music to me. No man's land between good and bad. Favorite tracks: Repeater, Song #1. Album art: About as nothing as the music. Just the name of the band and album, some kind of picture serves as the text, looks like someone face down on a stage? I don't know, I'm moving on. 2.5/5

Perhaps the worst vocal performance I've ever heard in my entire life. There were a half dozen guitar riffs over the course of the record that kinda got me nodding my head, that's the only thing that saved this from a one.

I mighta been into this in my teens.

Not the worst punk i've heard but not the best either. Allot of "Scream" punk but you hear a bit of the type of skate punk i tend to like if i want to listen to punk. Not my cup of tea.

io ci ho provato. e prometto che continuerò a provarci con tutte le mie forze. ma questo post hardcore/indie rock con tracce di grunge/musica da emo io vi giuro che faccio molta fatica a capirla e ad apprezzarla. mea culpa assolutamente, ma a metà album volevo farmi saltare in aria.

Forgetzi

Ist mir zu punkig

Not my cup of kenco

Not really my thing, but that's my fault, not theirs. Too punky for rock, too mild for hardcore... dunno. Hard to classify.

Ugh, I hated this guy’s voice, and most of this just seemed loud just for the sake of being loud. Not my favorite.

I kind of fugot about Fugazi. But then, they're not that memorable.

Eh, its alright

With the exception of The Waiting Room, which I've always liked (& isn't on this album), Fugazi mostly sounds to me like what I'd describe as "frat punk", paving the way for bands like The Offspring, Limp Bizkit, etc. Maybe liked 1 or 2 tracks ok. But nah.

Terrible. Sort of punk, but not very good.

это не невозможно слушать но это не мой жанр)

Loud. Not particularly enjoyable. But it didn't make me want to pierce my eardrums with a skewer to make the noise stop, so I guess that's something.

Not my sound.

Not their best album.

meh...others do it better. The vocals are not great, the lyrics are too straightforward, the guitar and drums are good but nothing unique about it. Their sound just feels like a lot of other 80's and 90's bands and nothing stands out enough for me to want to add this to my mix.

The first couple songs weren’t bad. In fact, the first song’s vocals remind me of the lead singer of Los Diablos Blancos (check out their album Golderado if you haven’t heard of them, they rock). But overall, just couldn’t get into it.

Nej, det är här inte min kopp te. De bästa låtarna är de instrumentella, vilket säger allt man behöver veta om sången.

Sin pena ni gloria.

turnover, blueprint

2 - I literally have no thoughts about this one. I already don't remember what any of the songs sound like. So, I guess I'd call it boring.

Didn’t enjoy this too much.

3/10 - Too aggressive and not very enjoyable to listen to because of that.

Not the best but ok. Don’t need to listen to it again.

turnover - okay slay, I'm liking this WOAH I WAS NOT EXPECTING THOSE VOCALS 6/10 I like it but I'm going off of a tough scale so 6/10 is pretty good imo repeater - I didn't even know the song switched 💀 I don't like this one as much but it's not bad. 4/10 Brendan #1 - again, didn't realize the song changed 💀 it's pretty good. doesn't stand out to me though. 5/10 Merchandise - I like the bassline, it's giving the cure meets twisted sister meets the offspring and also like coming of age movie. 6/10 blueprint - i like this, the vocals throw it off a little but that's okay, it's still pretty good 7/10 sieve fisted find - meh. 4/10 greed - I don't like it 2/10 two beats off - bro sounds like he's high but slay 6/10 styrofoam - meh. 4/10 reprovisional - 4/10 shut the door - I'm bored 6/10 song #1, Joe #1, break in - all these songs sound the same 4/10 literally they sound like the offspring but not 😭

Forgettable

Sort of a screamy Beastie Boys 90s meets the Cure - the sound of post-hardcore - per the liner notes

It was decent rock. Tempo and lead singer not for me

En ihan löytänyt levyn sielua yhdellä kuuntelulla. Alkuun oli ihan mukavaa, mutta loppua kohden rönsyilee aika paljon.

Menetteli

Link https://tidal.com/album/78518270 Too hard

Turnover // 2/5

nag 2*

Not my jam, was expecting something better than what this was.

Meh not really my thing, just a jumble of sounds and noises.

Sin pena ni gloria.

I've had this album since early college and have never listened all the way through. I know it's a seminal record and all that but it just never does anything for me.

This did nothing for me - melodically this was pretty uninteresting to me. Would not have finished this album if I was listening on my own accord.

Hardcore!

I don't even know what to say about this album. Amongst the guitar drone that hurt my ears, I could probably peg this as the 90s.

uhhhhhh.....

C- Turnover 2 Repeater 2 Brendan #1 2 Merchandise 2 Blueprint 3 Sieve-Fisted Find 3 Greed 2 Two Beats Off 2 Styrofoam 2 Reprovisional 2 Shut the Door 3 I mean, did we really expect much?

If you wanted to learn the drums, then this is the way to become a pro. Otherwise, my ears hurt.

2/5 few good, most bad

Sin pena ni gloria.

I got really seeing a post-hardcore album on the list. Finally something that was not your run to the mill rock, only for it to be a huge let down. Not unlistenable but will not revisit.

Why do the singers ruin everything???? like the instruments are doing an ok job at best (its not for me but fairs) and then I have to listen to shouting rubbish. Unfortunately for Fugazi, I had just listened to Aretha Franklin who actually knows how to sing and produce a note that is in tune so my ears had a jump scare. It was also boring and everything sounds the same. where is the flavour and variety????? On the second track i think (it sounds the same), ouch my poor, poor ears... i hate this. it's just noise third track- wait why was it a little funky but then it went back to poo again

Ei tuntunu high art täl kertaa mut eikai iha paskakaan..

Mmmmm🤔

It is good instrumentally and stuff, just not for me

J'ai dû me remettre 30 secondes de ces punkàcheries dans les oreilles pour me rappeler ce que c'était et franchement ça m'a suffit.

Je n'ai pas écrit de commentaire hier sur cet album tout simplement pare qu'il était complétement rincé

Door vele als een geweldige en invloedrijke band gezien, maar eigenlijk is het gewoon maar klote. Behalve hun cult hitje 'Waiting Room' (dat niet eens op deze plaat staat), zuigt dit rammelende stelletje lamme kut punkers gewoon.

Zo'n band die je geweldig wilt vinden, omdat ze 'toonaangevend' en 'baanbrekend' waren. Maar het is gewoon echt irritante gare kutzooi! Beetje schreeuwen en lomp op die gitaren raggen.

Another one full of nothing special.

Although I like the sound, I cannot hear the breakthrough in the overall performance. 2.5/5.

Mysteerigenre post hardcore on siis grungea mutta huudetumpana. Tahtoisin tykätä tästä enemmän, koska jotenkin tämä on kömpelöä, mutta vähän liian itsetietoisesti? Ei mene millään tavalla tunteisiin, mikä kuitenkin on (post) hardcoren idea, sääli

Hardcore ylittää popmuodon typistämällä sen äärimilleen - post-hardcore tarjoaa tilalle omaa muotoaan, joka pohjimmiltaan epäonnistuu, koska ei ole seurausta vastakohtansa typistämisestä.

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but can't see me going back to it

Not that great.

Very energetic with some really interesting chords that push the expectations of raw punk rock but unfortunately the vocals didn't really do much for me. I know Fugazi is an influential band and I haven't listened to them much and re-listening now I'm coming to the conclusion that it's the vocals that always pushed me away. It's a 2/5 for me.

Not my music

I'm not a huge fan of the vocals, which kind of ruin the project for me. I do like the instrumentals.

2.75/5 for me. I think I'm too old for these albums now.

Seems like only half of these songs are completed works..

Rather uninspiring,boring and also bit too messy and aggressive music for my liking

Repeater is the debut album by the American post-hardcore band Fugazi. It is considered the definitive album from Fugazi. It didn't perform well commercially at release, but after many months of the band touring the album sales began to increase. This was an influential album to many alternative rock bands that would appear later in the 90's. I liked this album just a little, but would recommend it to fans of alternative rock.

Punk hardcore “alternative rock”, neither metal nor grunge. Bass and drums work well together, but I don’t really like the noise.

I understand Fugazi to be really influential for what would become grunge, but it and most of its descendants aren't really my kind of thing

Not for me, honestly thought it was pretty boring which is quite something for a punk album.

mad af

Not a big fan of the voice. Reminds me of anti flag

I think this music may be technically interesting in the sense that it is unusual or difficult to play. It also seems to have elements that are similar to The Bronx and The Clash, which are bands I like, and also The Offspring. It's certainly got energy. However, I just don't like it. Other than the singer being awful I can't really explain what it is that repels me. For whatever reason I'm just not feeling this today. Rating: 2/5 Playlist track: Repeater Date listened: 20/12/22

To be honest not my favorite. Sometimes even abrasive and difficult, but sometimes the individual instrumental work is really impressive. But the the song explodes into a hardcore mess and it’s not good anymore. 4/10

4/10. Yeah, didn't really care for this.

OK, Punk. Pas mon style, que veux-tu…

Not my era and not my style so lower points in general. However, in my opinion there weren't many stand out tracks in general here.

I didn't enjoy this, but I did appreciate that it predated a lot of similar-sounding ‘90s alternative. But give me a good Strauss waltz over this any day.

After the double hit of my second shingles shot and flu shot yesterday, I really needed a warm fuzzy blanket of sound to cuddle up with. This was NOT that for me. I was able to make out the quality of "its complex interplay of guitar and rhythm section" for which it is noted according to the Wikipedia article. I can appreciate the effort here, but it didn't make me feel any better...

Not my type of music

It’s funny how a slight change in the ratio of ingredients can throw off a recipe for one person or perfect it for another. To me this has so much good stuff, really the whole instrumental core of grunge. If you stirred in some melody and some lyrical subtlety it would be all good. And then add a dash of rage for spice and it’s perfect. Instead we got no melody, all rage. I’ve always found that kind of punk/hardcore vocals a little dull but also whiny—impotent really. The lyrics here are not too bad but when coupled with that vocal style, they just make my goodwill and patience evaporate. At the first sign of pretension, I’m out. I’m sure there are lots of people who love this record because it’s giving them a double helping of what they like best. But to me it’s just unbalanced. I was absolutely the perfect age for this record when it came out, but I had no interest in it then; and I think honestly if I had sat down and listened to the whole record as a teenager I’d have had the same reaction as today.

Un autre album de rock des années 90.

Idk about this one. Doesn’t feel like I HAD to hear this.

I know of Fugazi, but never heard their music before this. My life would be unchanged if that remained true today.

I was not impressed with any part of this album. The vocals were weak, the lyrics basic, and the mixing of the voice/music in many of the songs made it sound amateurish

Nah, not for me. I'm a fan of post-hardcode but the more modern take on the genre. I can appreciate what was needed to get where we are but I don't need to listen to this again.

More grungy sounding than I prefer. It was okay to listen to in the background but I certainly won't be coming back to any of this album.

Not enough to enjoy

This album did a lot of things I liked but still sucked

Don’t like the styel

Of all the angry punk rock albums I've had to listen to on this site so far, this was the most tolerable by far. I will never be a fan of this style of raw and screechy vocals, but they weren't quite as grating as with many other similar sounding vocalists. There was also a lot more going on instrumentally than what I've heard from similar bands. I will still likely never come back to this album, because its just not a genre that I resonate with, but at least it wasn't a painful experience like what I've had with other punk bands from this era. Standout tracks: "Repeater", "Blueprint", "Sieve-Fisted Find" and "Two Beats Off"

Ill be honest I really did not like this album I dont have many positives to say The bass player did really well? I wasnt a fan of like anything else 2/10

Rough, discordant and assertively ugly. This can feel like musical nihilism, but then certain riffs seem to have a point (or want to reach one) – see “Brendan #1” and “Shut the Door.” One doesn’t mind the shadowy elements or overall toughness – see “Blueprint” and the guitar work on “Reprovisional,” though the latter is ruined by the vocals. In fact, across the record, the singing … well, it isn’t really singing, is it? “Song #1” sounds like a bad (and much older) Beastie Boys cover band. As with some abstract expressionism, one feels the artist is deliberately trying to offend (or at least startle). In that sense, it’s job done, but at the cost of ensuring one will not be inclined to seek this out ever again. Fans will feel themselves special for withstanding the assault. The band is basically choosing its fans by asking “who can stand to listen to this?” One feels the record deserves a severe rounding down as it might have been vastly more interesting (and not just prettier or more pleasant).

I tried on this one but it really wasn't hitting me until I got to Shut The Door, you know, the last song on the album...that one I really liked and added to a playlist earning it the 2 stars for me.

Auch so ein Album, das leider keiner braucht. Spielen gut zusammen, leider täuscht das kaum über das generische, klischierte Rock-Songwriting hinweg.

From what I've read Fugazi seem like an interesting and influential band so I'm not writing them off, but nothing on this album struck me as essential listening. I liked plenty of bits of it but there wasn't a track I really loved. 2.5 stars.

Not for me

This isn’t my cup of tea, but it was ok

The grunge album I never knew existed. Turns out, for a good reason. It's a bit of a shouty-shouty album and, more importantly, through that "all songs sound the same" factor, I found it rather boring.

punk raging 2.5

Not my thing

It's OK. I'm not sure that I needed to listen to this before I die. Maybe the point is that I need to expose myself to new music each day.

Disappointed with this one - a lack of variation in both the guitar tone and melodic lines means everything just blurs into one big hardcore mess that's ultimately forgettable.

2022-01-12 p628 1990 So-so garage/indie/heavy rock, nothing special 2 stars

This is too much for me - it's like a wale-y guitar and screaming, and are they speaking english? I'm not sure.

'Okay...okay...not bad...oh, he's singing annnnd it's punk. I'm out.'

Ekki minn tebolli

No thanks.

Ok for what it is.

It was okay. Can see the appeal but not my cup of tea

Not really a fan of rock

I didn't enjoy this album. Musically it's pretty good though not at all what I enjoy, however, the awful po-faced singing ruined it. I can't see this album's appeal. For the same period I'd rather be listening to Sonic Youth.

it started off somewhat strong as soon as the second song came on i sighed because it wasn’t good

Not for me thanks. The odd melodic moment and occasional hints of funk in the bass but generally too angsty shouty for my taste

It was alright, not what I’d usually choose. A bit shouty in parts. 2-3* ?

I thought this album was repetative as fuck, and pretty boring ngl

Not my cup of tea

yay. Punk.

Not for me, or maybe I'm just not angry enough.

Not a fan

Couldn't finish this one...

Jut isn't my thing. So many friends love them but I didn't hear anything that called out to me.

I don’t have much to say other than I don’t enjoy this album very much. The singing voices are tough to swallow, and I don’t find the music all that intriguing. There is a guitar riff about 45 seconds into Two Beats Off that is decent. I do enjoy how Joe #1 starts out musically. Why is Song #1 the 12th track? Why not first? Or why not name it Song #12? And while we’re on the number thing, why are Joe and Brendan #1s? Is their a second Joe or Brendan? I don’t see one. What’s the deal with that?

Only 1 good song

This album wasn't really my thing. I liked the instrumentals behind some of the songs, but that was it. But I certainly have heard worse out of the albums I've been generated. 2/5 stars.

Hmmm. I think I like the idea of Fugazi more than the actual Fugazi.

Not a fan,

It was ok.

Couple of ok songs but on the whole very shouty with little substance.

I really want to like Fugazi, but I think I like the idea of them more than the actual band. Always one great song, but an album is a lot. It's too abrasive and discordant for me, but sometimes, when it gels...

Not for me. Bit too shouty

Got through it. Won't be returning.

made it over half way through and then needed something i could work to

I like the music. The vocals turn me off. Blueprint is good.

I like Fugazi but this album just sounded like noise

Can’t get into it. If me from another time had heard this I bet this would stand out as a great album, as it is I just can’t relate cos I’m too old.

Not good, bad, yucky

Poor man’s gob

I'm not entirely sure that Fugazi is my thing. It's still early though.

Ugh I didn’t even really get through this album but that one popular song is good lol

dont remember anything about it and certainly nothing positive

Nothing of note. Feels dirty I dunno why. Like a mixture of Nirvana and 80s punk.

Ya not a big fan of this band before listening and didn’t hear much to convince me otherwise. The singers shouty screamy style is on brand for the genre but comes off as grating after a while. Just seems like mediocre effort and I don’t understand why on this list. 1/5

Not for me. 1/5

no m gusto 💜

Samey and derivative. Not much going on apart from the same riff and tortured vocals on and on and on

Toilet sounds.

No thanks.

Not really my thing. I like the guitar but it just isn’t a bit of me. Fav song is ‘Break-In’.

Unlistenable.

just noise. todo suena igual. tal vez no le presté tanta atención pero cuando le presté no me gustó

interesting

not really my jam

Again, not for me. A lot of jumbled and confused noise with little melody or listening pleasure.

Not my thing I'd say. It didn't evoke any emotions at all

Not good.

This is the -gazi we should have excoriated Hilary about.

Well - I made it through.

I had to stop. nothing on them just not my actual cup of tea. double it pass it to next person

Didn’t make it all the way through. Was a little too „raaa we‘re men and we‘re angryyyyy“

1.5 i didn't really like it

Yeah so that was kind of awful. Post-hardcore is such a good genre and I just don't think this is what I want from the genre and I really don't know why. The vocals aren't good first of all. Everything else is fine, but I guess it can't save the album

Fkin ew

Couldnt tell one song from another

A bit noisy and nothingy for me

Ein Sänger, der nicht singt, sondern schreit! Kreischende Gitarren! Nö, will ich nicht durchhören!

Absolutely not.

No es mi tipo de rock.

Not for me, thanks.

Apparently they thing feedback is a valuable musical tool.

Turgid.

This album was recorded during 1989 in Arlington, Virginia at Inner Ear Studios. Incidentally, that is the very body part that may need medical attention after listening to this album.

This sounds derivative to me. Maybe it came before all the other post-punk bands with faux angry frontmen, wanting to sound dangerous. But original or not, this is not a sound I need to or want to hear. A 1.

hard no.

Є так середні пісні,але адьбом взагалі не мфй і міузиуа не моя

Nicht so Meins

Vocals are bad in a bad way, couldn't listen to more than four songs

A chore to listen to. Awful.

Album was ok. I never heard of this group

Not my cup of tea. Quite painful to get through.

Ni me acuerdo

Really unsure of this. I likely would not have enjoyed it much when it was released either: it's kinda-punk, but with none of the inventiveness, spontaneity, nor energy. Perhaps more time needs to pass before the artistic merits of this album and why it might be in a 1001 best list might become further apparent…

I understand that people like this. I also understand that I don't.

I tell you what, I won’t be repeating shit from this album.

not for me

The song Greed sums up this album, fuzzy guitars, devilish vocals and repetitive lyrics…greed, greed, greed. The one song I endured was Brenda #1 due to it having no vocals. This isn’t pleasant music.

Huutamista, punkkia. Ei mitään erikoista kuitenkaan

Eh it was okay. I wouldn't rush back to it. 3.1/10

Uggh. Hate is a strong word, but this does nothing for me.

- hat mich leider nicht wirklich abgeholt

Not for me! Did not like!!

Indistinguishable from scores (hundreds?) of other post punk albums.

1,5 von 5

Who chooses these albums?

American post hardcore, hmm, something I'll file away as do not listen to.

Gonna sound like an old man but this is just awful noise, and not the good kind of awful noise.

I thought I would like it :/ but couldn't finish it

Not my jam

Don't get punk, shouting over reasonable good music is not my thing. Very poor recording.

I’ve heard of Fugazi but I wish I never heard Fugazi. 2/10

Interesting start of the album though it turned into drunk pub karaoke rock pretty fast. Apparently post-hardcore.

1 star

...not very pleasant listening, to my ears. Not melodic. Grung-y, but nothing like Nirvana which has much more feeling in their song. Shrieking "chalkboard" guitar at times. ...please just be done soon, so I can listen to something else! 1,5/5

Really not my taste

I hope that I can enjoy noise. But to enjoy noise the players should be also to play their instruments to make music. This was not that. I appreciate noise from the likes of Tin Machine, and this was crap.

Really didn't enjoy this, doubt I'll go back to it

never got the fugazi hype , much better punk out there from the same time era

This album might be called Repeater but all I'm repeating in my head is "Why? Why did I put myself through this?". Fugazi have plenty to say, but do they have to yell everything? Idk, this kind of music is never going to amaze me but I did try to find some value in what I was subjected to. Here's what I came up with. 1. Cool band name 2. Cool drumming 3. I don't have to listen to this again, phew Overall, it sounded to me like if you threw Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Supergroove and maybe Sonic Youth in a blender and the net result is a noisy brown mush. 2.8/10

I appreciated the instrumentals but the voice and structure of the songs were rough for me.

Not real.

not for me

Det här tilltalande inte mig för 5 öre.

This isn't post punk. Its metacarp! More crap than crap could possibly be.

Shit attempt at punk

Did not finish. Instrumentation is fine but the vocals are not doing it for me at all. Not one I’d be eager to listen to again. 1/5

Not my cup of tea

aiuto raga, non sono neanche riuscita a finirlo

Pure crap.

Good guitarist.

Did not like it at all

Irving and repetitively. I can’t imagine any scenario where I would enjoy listening to this

Post punk rock

Ingeblikte schreeuwmuziek met gillende gitaren, het wekte bij het opzetten bij mij al geen enthousiasme op en allengs werd het alleen maar lelijker. Help even, waarom staat dit in de lijst?

Ik kan ook niet zingen. Maar daar val ik de wereld niet mee lastig. En als ik het zou doen, zou ik het niet in een schuurtje opnemen. Ze zullen die amateurklank van de zang wel expres zo opgenomen hebben. Stelletje toneelspelers. Het lastige bij het raten, is dat de muziek soms wel weer heel fijn is, als de zanger even het schuurtje is uitgelopen. Dan heb je aardige kroeg-meedein-muziek. De Frans Bauer test dan maar. Waar luister ik liever naar? Frans Bauer dan maar.

Nope! Don't like that!

Meine Mutter hätte gesagt: organisierter Lärm. In diesem Fall hätte ich ihr recht gegeben.

It didn’t sound good to my ears, lots of yelling 2.5/10

I wish I could get into these heavy albums but I can’t even get through the whole album. Rating is based on personal taste, nothing to with their talent.
