Nah.
Was Ok but a bit samey and forgettable. Might enjoy repeat listens but I zoned out mid-way through and didn't even realise when it began replaying songs
somewhat like cheap trick.... but maybe mixed with the beatles?
Dull and Really long
Never heard this before, though the band name sounded familiar. Yeah its grand, like I don't completely hate it, some elements I like, when it sounds a bit more new wave/proto punk, but the more psychadelic elements, the echoey vocals, the hammed up english accents, are not my jam. Would not listen again.
well, it sure as hell did not make me hard
Catchy from the get go, made me laugh. Positive vibrations sidhar :) A bit cringy. "Would you care for a lump of steak... or a piece of hake". You cringe and then you genuinely laugh. Some songs reminded me of Tim Mitchen or Bill Bailey. The longer it went on the less interested I became though. Maybe influential bringing 60s sound to young 80s kids. I won't be listening again though. Maybe a song or two but not the whole album.
Not my style
Enjoyed the angular Richard Hell via Beefheart aspects. The rest of it I could take it leave.
It was okay.
2/5
One or two decent psychedelic songs, but largely forgettable
Verassend, ik kende dit totaal niet. Begon wel een beetje te vervelen op den duur.
Not impressed.
Begon aardig maar kon m'n aandacht uiteindelijk niet vasthouden.
Washed over me a bit.
Rock with alguna ida de olla. Cantante regular
not bad but probably won't listen to it again
Por lo que alcance a escuchar ni está tan malo pero nada espectacular.
Not really my style
too long, over 2 hrs long. catchy choruses but the lyrics are pretty silly.. aka - he's a reptile, vegetable man
Not an album I needed to hear before I died
Starts off good, makes a hard crash
The first songs did cause an impression because of all the negativity but then it was always the same old same.
movie or this boring shit?
This can not be an album you should listen to before you die
40 songs!!? You've got to be joking! Not thar great to be listening to this sound going on and on. There are occasional tunes where I get interested. But yeah Goodbye Maurice
40 tracks of self indulgent toss
Verkligen inget speciellt
Das hat mich irgendwie aggressiv gemacht.
Too bloated
SHIT!
2 plus hours of British psych rock. You must be out of your freaking mind. There is no way I’m wasting my morning on this shit. 5 songs in and I was like not a chance bruh
In a nutshell: going sideways. The only thing going for Underwater Moonlight is that you can connect the dots between The Soft Boys and R.E.M, Pixies and future jangle pop acts. Synth-pop and post punk was "in". This kind of music was not really hip in 1980. Overall: 2/10
Indulgence
An album that would sound old in the 60s released in 1980. And to add it is 40 songs long, no thank you.
null
40 SONGS AND I DIDN’T LIKE A SINGLE ONE SHITE
1/2
If this list is going to force me to listen to a 2.5 hour long album, at least make it something interesting and not boring British pop rock that sounds like it released 10 years too late
Te schel geluid voor mij. Niet fijn om te luisteren
I didn’t notice anything that special about this. The singer couldn’t sing. By the end of the album it grated on me. Low 2, or high 1? A 1.
TOO FUCKING LONG
Couldn't finish it, just not for me!
More bad British rock from the 60s-80s. DNF.
who put this on the list
2 and a half hours for some bullshit. The quality was terrible to start with and it wasn’t anything interesting at all. Fav Song: 3.9/10 1.9/5
Absolutely not my kinda music, boring guitar dudes sound
Just too many of these British bands of this time and genre, not my favorite, and I still can’t tell them apart.
This album just did not grab me. I kept on checking to see how many more songs to go.
Ugh - yikes.
This was a mediocre 2, but when I saw the 40 tracks it immediately became a 1. This album and band might be a social experiment to see if people will like anything just because a magazine critic said it is relevant or something.
Warum sollte man das gehört haben? I don’t see it
Meh
Big ol meh
Boring. No.
Couldn't even finish the first quarter of the album. On Spotify, their biggest song (which I didn't like either) is the very first song on the album and it seems like it's all downhill from there. When I started this, I told myself that I was going to listen to every album to the fullest, even if I wasn't enjoying. Nope. This killed that. I mean, I wasn't having a good time AND it's 2.5 hours long.
Meh
Why is it so long?
It was hard to listen to the Soft Boys. Not sure why they made the list.
First listen
Its a weird one, reminds me of a few other artists that I like, but I'm not so sure when you combine them all the result works.
40 songs?!?!?! And I only liked 1.. enough said.
40 songs? Please end my agony.
Over 2 hours?!?
These albums do suffer from being quite similiar to each other. Is this the kinks? The soft boys? Some other english speaking rock band with the same sound? I can't tell them apart! Gotta stop listening to this, it is putting me to sleep.
Oubliable et interminable. Quand on est aussi quelconque, on peut au moins se donner l'élégance de la brièveté
1.25 stars. So 1. Would've been a 2 if not for being TWO HOURS L ON G nice beginning but gets samey too quick
Who listens to this?
Sorry, to me, nothing new, groundbreaking or genre-definjng here. Not a must hear...
Einfluss oder nicht. Mir egal, ich finde die Platte echt nicht hörenswert.
Schrott.
Not for me. 1/5
Pretty Soft from the Soft Boys - wasn't in the mood for these funstars
2.5 hours and none of it is special in any way. Wtf is this.
I didn't like the recording quality - it sounded underwater. Just not for me - overly long, not particularly entertaining. The different versions of Old Pervert were very unnecessary. 1 seems harsh, but I just didn't have a nice time listening.
Terrible.
I couldn't finish this.
The Soft Boys? You bet they are... 0/5
The disconcerting cover was a clue. This is icky and I felt like I was listening to the record collection of Jimmy Savile. Then the titles of the next 39 tracks added dread to that. The lyrics are a nauseating string of chiches. I check. Yep.. As I suspected. This perversion is English. Anyway, I Not in the mood for disgust or listening to other people's hated today. Aborted at track 3. Trust your instincts.
I started this album sort of liking a couple songs but as it went on, the songs got worse and worse. They started sounding like demo tracks for songs, with placeholder lyrics that they would eventually rewrite and double back to, but never did and left us with half-baked lyrics such as "Wey wey hep uh hole" and "where are the prawns" repeated over and over again. I gave up halfway because I had already wasted too much time on this crap and there was no way I could endure the full 2.5 hours that this album lasts. Before checking the wiki in the global reviews, my prediction is this band is British, which is why it is included on the list, despite being incredibly sub-par and unnecessary. Don't bother with this album. Unless you hate yourself, do something better with your time, like huff some gasoline and stare at the wall for a couple hours. That will be more fun than subjecting yourself to this trash.
MID!!!!!!!
Yeah nah.
Eh nothing special. I don't really care for it
forgetable blurb NNN
Uninspired wandering through punky mood swings, I did not enjoy this album. There are some great melodic ideas that were not fleshed out to be something truly lasting. The lyrics, though interesting, mean nearly nothing. And when they do mean something, it’s disturbingly perverted.
Really?
Longest album of all time.
nondescript. not worth a listen. just play the beatles instead.
So if you’ve ever had a random thought like “I wonder what a folk new-wave punk band sounds like”, then this album is the definitive answer to that question. Generic and uninspiring in every way.
This was way too long for an album that just was not good. This was not worth the 2 hours in gave it will not be looking them up any time soon.
wanted to skip this album many times. took me 4 days to listen to it because whenever i put a song on I had to turn it off a minute later
I don't like it
way too long of an album, I’m sad that you can’t seem to enjoy psychedelic albums without also being off your tits Some of these songs are plain bad, if they reduced it to like 30 minutes I could see this being ok, but I wouldn’t ever recommend this album
I listened to too much of this
This is definitely a case of less is more 2 and 1/2 hours is beyond excessive. A hour in and it felt like I was listening to the same song over and over again. I cannot hear the big deal of this one.
O album tem 10 musicas e dai mais 30 bonus. Todas as 40 sao iguais.
Absolutely shite. Why is it on this list?
nothing special
Does not age well
Eh, pretty bland honestly. Not very engaging.
Achei podre
Definitely not for me, way way too long (2.5 hr) surfer punk jams 2/10
Bad
Unlistenable, bland, boring. Also kinda gross.
This album is really not my thing and I had HUGE difficulties listening to it.
Not feeling it at all. 0/5
Really liked the first song but they all started to sound the same after that and couldn’t get through all 170 songs to be honest
