Album ennuyeux et il y a des reprises de masterpiece et elle sont bien moins incr que les originales. Cette album c'est un peu le gouvernement de Macron, il avait les clés en main, mais il a fait de la merde.
"Bongo Rock” by Incredible Bongo Band is an album that clearly comes from a place of good intentions, aiming to celebrate rhythm and percussion with a bold, almost relentless energy. The grooves are lively and the production highlights the power of the drums, but what starts as exciting quickly begins to feel repetitive and one-dimensional.After a few tracks, the constant barrage of similar rhythms and ideas becomes tiring rather than engaging, turning what could have been a fun listen into a chore. At a certain point, the album felt so monotonous and boring that it was impossible to even make it halfway through, which says a lot about how exhausting the experience became instead of enjoyable.
meh
This is one of the biggest "why is this on the list?" Of any. Waste of time. I could be listening to anything else right now but instead I'm listening to an album that's pretty much the backing tracks of other famous songs. I would give this a zero if it was possible Waste Of Time Feels like people rating it a 5 are maybe trying to be different, and fair play, if we were all the same how different would life be. This is trash
Whaaat?
Meh
This is a horrible novelty album.
I couldn't finish it. Too miche, too repetitive.
Es cualquier cosa
A little bit of that goes a long way.
This stinks
What in the everloving fuck was this and why would anyone think it should be listened to before I die?
I couldn’t finish this album. It was easy listening muzak with added bongos. It was too much. I didn’t like it at all.
¿Es un álbum imprescindible un disco que contiene una fabulosa e influyente canción, otra igual de buena y luego más de lo mismo pero sin ese resultado? No. Tanto Let there be drums como Apache son dos temas excepcionales, que han sido empleados recurrentemente como samples (Apache ya se basa en el mismo tema de The Shadows) y que suena igual de frescos que cuando se publicaron. Sin embargo el resto del disco, aunque breve, se hace monótono y repetitivo. Apache jamás me cansaré de esucharlo. Supone un puente entre los instrumentale de los 50 y 60 con el Hip-Hop, con Safri-Duo, con Beats International y con cientos de canciones y bandas. Dark side of the moon, Catch a fire, Aladdin Sane, Raw power, Band on the run, New York Dolls, Aladdin Sane, Berlin, Let´s get it on, For Your Pleasure, Call me, A wizzard/a true star, Innervisions, GP, Tubullar Bells, Houses of the holy, Quadrophenia, Selling England by the Pound, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (y Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player), Killing Me Softly, For Your Pleasure...
Sovitaan, että he keksivät hip hopin (jota he eivät keksineet). Kyllä Thaleskin keksi filosofian, mutta taitaa olla niin, että ihan muut henkilöt tekivät suurimman duunin (eikä Thales keksinyt filosofiaa).
I like bongos, but not that much… 8/100 ⭐️
Zzzz
Not so bad as expected
Lame
Funky!
Absolutely boring nonsense
Feels like I wasted 3 hours on this album, but turns out it was only 1h18m. Absolutely unnecessary.
Why? Why on gods green earth is this an album I MUST listen to??
Garbage. Why?
Now I love to bang my bongos as much as the next man. But even this simple act that produces such a wonderful sound can get painful after a while. If any one of these tracks cropped up on the radio it would be fun, but the novelty quickly wore off when faced with 78 minutes worth. Take the bongos away and the underlying music is pure Gorgonzola. A pure novelty album. It’s a no from me.
A bongos cover album made it to the list? What?
1 hour and 15 minutes of fucking bongos that I’m never getting back
1.5 “Rock the fuck outta those drums, Dale!”
Hmmm, interessant, wäre dieses Album nicht auf der Liste der 1000 Alben.... hätte ich es nie gekannt oder gar gehört. Okay ich habe es nun gehört, musikalisch gut, Bongos exzellent, kann man sich wieder anhören, muss man nicht
Struggled with this one...couldn't find a way in.
Nope.
A bit redundant after a while.
not my music!
Why?
sounds like the soundtrack to a quentin tarantino nostalgia piece. Need to revisit but didn’t think it was an essential album
Yaa. This isnt my jam.
Did not vibe with this album
Listened on Sunday am which was a mistake however still not a fan.
Uhhhhhhh I hate all these songs to begin with so adding schmaltzy drums does nothing for me.
p287. 1973. 1 star. Cheesy 70s album of mostly shit covers. This is what they play during the intervals between acts in working man's clubs in Hell.
Fine as background music, didn’t impress or excite me beyond that. Wouldn’t say this was deserving of this list or my time.
Well this is certainly the best bongo based album I’ve ever heard
It's kind of fun, but ultimately it's the kind of music you put on to keep the kids quiet in the car. Must also admit it took me three goes to get through this. It's long.. So a vanity project as well as a novelty album.
There are 50 albums that i would before this one. I'm a drummer and found this hard to sit through.
‘audio jungle dot com’
Bongolia is the best song I heard. The album was too long and too many Bongos. Felt like I heard different snippets that were samples.
Ok this is a 1 and I’ll tell you why. First of all, most of these are covers, which means the album itself is not very original or influential in that regard. Second, this was mainly background music. It barely made me tap my foot at its best moments. Third, and most importantly, the bongos were completely unnecessary and they actually made the songs worse at some points. Therefore, this has to be a 1 because the premise of the album was to upgrade the songs with bongos, while it actually downgraded them. It’s not your average 1 star album, but a 2 felt way too generous.
Una porquería! Encima no se terminaba más!
I mean the tunes are great - but they are way better in their original form sans bongo. Why oh why?
Nope. I have no patience for this
A steaming pile of poo💩
It's bongos - a lot of bongos
I thought I would hate this. Apache is a good song, I've heard it somewhere before. I actually do hate this. I can't make it more than halfway through. I want to poke out my eardrums.
Its me Aubrey Drake Graham, Fuck bongos.
No
I do not like to bongos. No I very much do not.
Why would I even listen to this?
Pros: - nice music to do some chores to or have on. it gives you a groove to moove to. - "Apache" is the original version of Sugarhill Gang's song "Apache" and I had no idea. Amazing! Cons: Misc: I really wasn't expecting an album like this on here. It's very surprising! Overall, while I'm sure influential, I don't know if this album to me is a "must" listen to or a top album of all time, so I am going to rank it low.
La pochette me laissait un peu perplexe. Ça m’inspirait une genre de compilation cheap avec des trucs d’artistes non-originaux (il y a toujours quelques disques comme ça dans les boites de vyniles des ventes de garage). Quand j’ai parti la re toune, je me suis dit « mmm, je connais ce son là ». Effectivement, c’est partout, surtout dans Looking down the barrel of a gun pour ma part. Au final, ça groove en sale, mais c’est pas super intéressant. On dirait qu’ils se sont dit en le faisant « Check ben ça, dans 10-15 ans, le monde va découper les beat pis faire autre chose avec. On va leur en donner pour leur argent ». Ça fait de bons scores de films policier à LA (pour sa battre en moustache).
ach ach, wat is dit nu weer..
“Mainly covers of popular songs of the day characterized by the prominence of bongo drums, conga drums, rock drums and brass.” A thing I actually never needed to hear.
Something of a one trick pony. The album gets off to an outstanding start with Apache - probably the most sampled beats over the past 40 years. The bongoes then get a little annoying. It goes bongo bonkers in the Satisfaction cover. Austin Powers without the irony.
Alltof mikið bongó! Drepleiðinlegt til lengdar.
The Velvet Underground: Sí. American Pie: Sí. Bongo Rock: No.
Surprisingly not the worst we’ve had
