I like indie music, but this is just not good. Sorry if I don’t get it.
Oh. This might be quite a decent album if he’d just shut the f@&k up and stop ‘singing’. One decent track was ‘Transylvania Blues’, not just because it’s an instrumental (but that really helps), but it actually goes somewhere.
Vocals are off key and lifeless. Horribly boring. Thankfully they broke up in 2009. No reunion tours need to happen.
Listen, if you can't carry a tune, then just write the songs and let somebody else front your band. Absolutely ruined some decent lyrics and some more-than-decent slide guitar.
I cannot imagine why such a bland and boring album is one of the 1001 albums I just *had* to listen to.
Actually I thought the worst thing I could listen here was Nico but this is kinda worse.
What an excellent album if you are having trouble sleeping. My god what a horrible listen. One of the worst, if not the worst vocals I've yet to hear (and I'm 650+ albums in at the time of writing along with two Tom Waits albums in between) paired with the most basic, middle school-skill instrumentals. I'm so glad I was able to listen to this album before I died [insert sarcasm]. 2/10.
This was terrible! The first side of the album had the same structure on every song: acoustic guitar plays for 5 secs and then stops; repeat. The vocals were terrible too. Like a Lou Reed - Johnny Cash fan boy who can't sing OR write songs. The lyrics were so bad that it hurt. ONE good song and that was the instrumental Transylvania Blues. This is the worst thing I ever listened to up to this point. 1/5
Hate is a strong word but this is almost getting there, man. I’m not a fan of Lou Reed at the best of times so right off the bat this Poundshop Velvet Underground is rubbing me the wrong way. The music is nice enough but his tone and faux poetic lyrics sound pretentious as fuck. Thankfully they ran out of “ideas” quickly and had the decency to piss off in just over half and hour.
De huevis, suena a una sola canción pero pues lo puse de fondo para trabajar y no se escuchara vacio. Okay, no se que genero sea esto pero definitivamente no es de mi agrado.
silver jews' bright flight was bland. a lot of the singing by david berman was close to monotone. some lyrics and song titles were witty, but it just felt like silver jews were being try hards. a lot of this album felt like folk rock with a side of country, and... it unfortunately held little appeal to me.

First impressions.... I don't particularly like the guys voice and it al seems a bit soft and boring and dreary. Transylvania blues is enjoyable and let's not say we did was more upbeat. And then back to the drearfest with Tennessee... Overall I didn't like it
People listen to this crap voluntarily?
So terrible. What genre is this album supposed to be top tier of? I honestly don’t understand the requirements to make it on this list.
You can’t convince me this isn’t a parody album.
I just didn't like this. I found it mumbly and pretentious. Lo-fi indie with a country twist was just not for me. The highlight were some of the more blues/rock-oriented tracks like Transylvania blues. Maybe if i focused more on the lyrics it would be better? Now i just listened while i worked
Crap name, ploddy songs that take themselves way too seriously. Although Let's Not (aptly titled) sounds like a less fun version of Chas n Dave. Next.
Not sure qualifies as music.
ennakkoluulot ei koskaan ollut näin hirveitä.. ei ole koskaan ollut vältelty näin..... yllättävän hyvä kuitenkin. siis paskaahan silti, 35min tuntui pitkältä, mutta en halua kuolla ja totanoin ... niin...... huomenna parempaa varmasti heh. btw mikä vittu usa president konsepti taasko meikä kuvittelee room games and diamond rain
Awful. One of the worst so far.
The music and the vocals are just atrocious. Maybe there's something I'm missing or just don't get. I just couldn't get more than 30 seconds through any song.
Country pavement
I tried. I was displeased.
No good
Country, slow tempo sort of psychodelic. Not my cup of tea, the vocalist sounded like he needs more vocalization practice.
Wanna be Johnny Cash who misses the mark and can't even convince himself he believes what he sings
Feels like it's trying too hard to be edgy and emo.
Off brand Johnny Cash. Not good at all
Bad lazy singing ruins any enjoyment of this album for me.
Meh. Why is this on a list of best anything? Its really forgettable crap. 1/5
To make this 0 stars he could sing about F1.
Bad
Horrible crap
Deze bandnaam zou nu niet meer kunnen. Enfin, ik heb het einde van deze plaat niet gehaald.
I tried my hardest to find any redeeming factors during this listen, but honestly the vocals from this band are impossible to enjoy. Off key whining over generic music. Do not recommend.
Sucks. I hate the music and the insipid trying too hard to be “different” lyrics. I hate the sucky ass ugly album cover too. Sucks.
Not keen hated his voice
