Wasn’t a fan of the sound of the lead’s voice.
This was hilariously bad. Horrid singing, no songs worth enjoying, just boring. Somehow "The Killing Moon" has 117m plays on Spotify. 3/10.
Punk er bare ikke min genre og det her er ikke bedre end det andet. For meget diskant og rumklang
More 80s Curish/Smithsish stuff that felt fairly generic to me. Recognized The Killing Moon and I don't know why.
I hate new wave.
Not my taste in 80s rock
The Killing Moon is a great song. The rest of the album seems pretty good. I'd enjoy hearing this one again. 2/5 for now.
Britisk gloomy rock, post-punk, 80’er
Kuulostaa ihan kivalta ja hyviä soundeja, mutta lopulta mikään biisi ei oikein lähtenyt.
Ihan kivaa poppista, mut erityisesti Thorn of Crownsista fiilis on "huonompi Talking Heads".
an awesome The Killing Moon and a bunch of crap
Meh
The first five tracks or so were so bland. Kicked up a bit later and I actually saved Seven Seas for permanent rotation. Must be influential or something, because standing alone it’s not terribly worth the time.
Strange music. Not really interesting
not bad but really not my deal. I really like the tile track though.
Weird album, goes from kind of generic british chill rock to punk and back to rock again. An album with no particular songs that are real good, but instead a few songs that I would certainly not place in this album.
idk
Sin mucho que decir
Killing Moon is a great track, but I prefer the Cutter. A whole album of those vocals was a little hard for me to stomach.
Mostly absolute pants
Not that impressed....some decent tracks later on tho
This album just isn't very musical and so it doesn't do anything much for me. The Killing Moon is good but I wouldn't like to hear any of this stuff in more than small quantities.
Meh
meh 2 stars
I tried, but I just couldn’t get into it. It feels like it has potential, but it just doesn’t with me.
This was fine, I don’t see myself returning to it again and again though.
Recognise The Killing Moon. I know these guys are highly rated, don't know anything about them though. They sound British and a bit ahead of their time for 80s. Can see how they're popular and can hear how much they've influenced modern music. But hard to love it after one listen, so 2/5
Ugh. Yet another weird ass boring British band. Production value is all over the place, and the songs are boring. I’m sure it fills a space in the narrative linking punk to new wave or something, but no.
Meh
Nothing I was necessarily familiar with but the album was fairly consistent. No real standouts aside from maybe The Killing Moon.
sinmas
Meh, relatively boring. Some high points, the killing moon reminded me a little of machine punch through by moist.
First 2 songs, I did not like at all, but got through them. 3& 4 were good but then 5 was a hard listen. 6,7,8 & 9 were ok. I find it hard to beleive that there isnt better albums that didnt make the 1001 list. I gave it 2 Stars - listened to it but not again.
bs
Let's try to sound like REM
Not really feeling this.
Apathetic to the majority of the tracks. If this album was only The Killing Moon it would be awesome.
Sounded more Jangle Pop than Post-Punk, which is a shame because I like Post-Punk but not Jangle Pop. The edgier songs were highlights (Thorn of Crowns), but those were rare. Found myself mostly bored throughout.
Mwah, kon hier niet zoveel mee.
1st song baited me into thinking it would be a fun album
false
Eh
More like 2.5. It's fine to listen to but does get a bit boring after a while.
Overrated. Still 1 classic song
The Killing Moon feels like it was recorded by a different band. Which is unfortunate as it is the best song by quite a margin.
Hmmm, what would make this a must listen album? Not terrible, but not much else going on for me. I listened twice but it just missed the mark. Would prefer an album I hated so I least I would have something to say.
Fine. Not for me.
Hey it has those songs I recognize from a movie or something. Not bad.
It didn’t catch my attention enough to remember the next day. Genetic 80s music.
false
Standard 80s
Don‘t like his voice
I must be a tough, one man crowd. This didn't grab me at all. Except for Killing Moon, which is such an ace track, the rest failed to inspire any foot tapping and have since been forgotten. 2.7/5, probably would have been a 1 if not for Killing Moon.
I'm aware of this artist, and I recognize one track by name on this album. I don't get the obsession with this band. At times, I was tempted to give this a 2, but in the end it doesn't deserve it. The track "Thorn of Crowns" is one such example that forced this decision for me. I really hated that one.
Nothing but Video not available. Unable to listen to it.
Just a pretty generic album that sounds like nothing
Awful
Such a disappointing album. Every song seemed to have so much potential to begin with. But the way they used each track made it a pretty hard listen. Songs I liked: 1/5
Genuinely not great.
this is ass 1/10 Will I add this album to my library? no
Tvö lög ágæt, hitt óspennandi.
Despite my appreciation for Killing Moon, I did not enjoy this album.
Not my thing
Oh I really don't like it. Maybe the guy's voice?
Vocals are like nails on a chalkboard
nada que decir. Muy lejos de ser de mi agrado. No le encuentro gracia
Nocturnal me is familiar but else wise…1
the killing moon és la bso de donnie darko!! prou sin más m'he avorrit un poc
Fuck this is rough.
Did not like one second of this. Cannot understand the appeal.
it wasn't acceptable in the 80s
Meandering and boring. Has no discernible direction other than being uninteresting. Decent opening track then devolves into an entirely skippable album. Hard pass
Hat mir absolut gar nichts gegeben.
Schön abwechslungsreich, aber insgesamt ist da gefühlt zu viel gewollt
Dagge får sitt new wave lystmäte tillfredsställt igen.... Den här gången ger jag honom dock rätt. Det här är new wave som gått långt över bäst-före datum, möglat och transformerat till något annat. Hopplöst svulstigt, överdoserat med stråkar och gått vilse bland teatrala pretentioner. Det finns i grunden en 2-3 låtar kanske men allt är så storvulet att dom också blir hemska. Likt andra band som Simple Minds, Ultravox och U2 med rötter i new wave klarar Echo... inte övergången in nåt annat. Fan ibland tycker jag dom låter som en dålig variant av Uno Svenningssons Freda'. Jag antar att det är det här Jonas talar om när han avskyr 80tals produktioner
Self- important claptrap.
3/10
Strange band from the 80’s and 90’s. No big hits. Think they tried to copy other bands of the time. (INXS, The Cure, etc.)
I can’t listen to any more bad British music from the 80s. Please make it stop.
BRUTAL LISTEN. WANNABE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE. SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE BLEACHERS, WHO I ALSO HATE LOL 80'S POP IS VERY HIT OR MISS FOR ME, ESPECIALLY SOFT POP LIKE THIS. BOOOOO
MEH
Really weird and bad, somewhat laughable in fact
.eh
Found this quite dull, my only recollection being thinking thst if they stuck on Editors’ weird effects peddle it’d be infinitely better. But as I’m not musical myself I have no idea if that peddle exists or if they even sound like a stripped back Editors
1. zilver - 1 2. me - 1.5 3. cryztal - 1.5 4. yo yo - 1.5 5. crouunz - 1 6. moon - 1.5 7. zeven - 1 8. kindom - 1.5 9. rain - 1.5
What was the point of this, it was awful at the time and age has withered it more.
Echo and the bunnymen suck. Period. Who put them/this album on the list. Jesus, this is a suckfest 1001 album worthy: No - 49/87
A very talented lead singer. The vocal mix is too loud and the underlying music is too boring.
I cant put my thoughts on this album to words without using derogatory slurs so I'll stay quiet
Completely unremarkable until that all you need is love/Dylan cover came on. That was trash
Not for me
I don't get it at all.
OK, I can tolerate it. \"Yo Yo Man\" Very computerized.
Yes, drama-kid, I see you. You're very dark and mysterious. Don't forget your lunchbox.
Another Echo and the Bunnymen album on this list, and just like the previous ones, another album that I will never think about again.
Just don't like this band.
Not for me. It's an automatic 1 for Mr Rabbit. (Even though I did listen to the album, I found nothing of interest)
Nothing to write home about.
Too many bland UK rock bands so far.
No real positives from this album.
Really weird 80s album. Ton of synthesizer etc
Talking Heads is that you?? No part of me is begging to relisten to this
Very dated 80's punk/psychedelia. Not for me.
Nope
- Orchestra makes it sound like a movie soundtrack - this album exists in a weird world, like it should be the Donny darko theme - It just doesn’t click for me
Slogging through this was like eating sand. As if the title “Nocturnal Me” wasn’t bad enough, the listener is then subjected to what evokes a creepy rapist villain in a low budget musical forcing his kidnapped victim to listen to his sexual assault agenda in advance. Let’s hope she escapes before having to listen to the entire disaster. As if to reinforce the sleazy predator vibe with zero self awareness, “Thorn of Crowns” exposes us to McCulloch’s pathetic, nauseating, and odious orgasmic moaning for 4 hellish minutes or until we leave to take a shower. You almost have to applaud this level of mastadonic narcissism. “Killing Moon” was ok. I would give this 0 stars if I could.
Ughhhh Bonus decimals for trying to make it interesting with the orchestra. 1.3
If you have nothing to say, don’t say it. Definitely do not write lyrics about cauliflower.
Boring, sorry
So boring
Olin iloinen kun loppui. Mutta nyt mun sporify alkaa taas pakkosuositella mulle tätä bändiä... Joku tässä on sietämätöntö vaikka sinänsä on pätevää poprockia
Jousilla ja sen sellaisella sävytetty yritys korvata hyvät kappaleet miellyttävillä ja/tai mielenkiintoisilla äänillä.
Nicht ernsthaft!
I guess he's called Echo because he likes repeating the same melody and the same shitty lyrics ad nauseum. He should also get that stutter checked out.

I give them one broken, skipping record out of five.
Everyone has one annoying friend who would spend an hour explaining why this album isn't bad and is actually foundational to an even worse genre of music.
Not my style of music
This is some truly terrible singing within some extremely mediocre music. I got about 2 songs through before I had to quit. Really - this has no place in the list.
Pish
Didn’t like this one
Didn’t finish—slowly getting weary of this genre.
Not a massive fan on first listen. A bit like the Smiths if I didn't like them. May grow on me, but won't be jumping to listen again.
didn't like it, couldn't get through it
Pretty awful
this album is probably the REM of post-punk, but I've had enough of these wiggly vocals and soporific indie instrumentation.
Overblown and underwhelming. Sounds like Hunters and Collectors with tickets on themselves.
Didn't love it
No me gusta la voz
Worst music era in history
Lo intenté escuchar más de 5 veces, no es broma.
This was not good. Nothing memorable
Generic 80s indie ‘meh’
one day there will be a good album. today was not that day.
Eh straange
I was surprised to find that this album annoyed the crap outta me! I’ve always loved The Killing Moon 🌚 but by the time we made it around to that song I as too annoyed to continue and turned it off. Try as we might, we just couldn’t settle into a comfortable groove.
