Let It Be

Taas tätä samaa post punk new wave mitä lie mikä kuullostaa aina samalta. Ei oikein maistunut

I didn't get the hype, just okay to me.

This was a new one one me, didn't recognise the band. Album was alright, bit cringey in places. Third studio album and it still meant nothing to me.

Gear: Hifiman Arya Mix: ehrlich. okay. Musik: ehrlich. okay. Wertung: 2/5

Not my most favorite of albums. Kinda left me Unsatisfied and totally didn’t give me a boner. I liked Seen Your Video mostly because no one sang. Although there were some moments I felt like I was listening to a Tony Hawk song. Meh

1.5

Nah. Lots of noise. No hits.

Nothing overly gripping but I enjoyed it

Putting the MID in mid-80s

Some of this I liked, some of this not so much. The style wavered so much it didn't really work as an album, for me. The loud rock stuff especially put me very much in mind of Nirvana - not a recommendation. Eighties teen angst college radio rock that didn't really speak to me. One extra start for Angrogyny, a fun little time capsule, but I can't see myself playing this again.

Недопанк, перепопса

Oh great, some more heavily-punk-informed rock from the 80s. This is nothing to hold my attention or that would make me want to listen it again. Not horrible, just bland. 2/5

The vocals seem recessed within the canvas on the first track, “I Will Dare,” but the song structure was pleasantly poppy. The album lures you with ‘Dare’, then slaps you in the face with fast guitar and poorly recorded indynamic drumming punk style n “We’re coming Out”. Then the album slows back down and basically disappoints with poorly recorded screaming vocals on “Satisfied.” 1.9/5. Won’t relisten to this one.

Nothing really stood out

Uninspired

This sounds like a lot of other things, so I guess it must be influential. A nice mix of tempos and styles. The quieter, more introspective songs were my favourite. The vocal was much improved when the singer took his foot off the gas. Unfortunately the record is let down by a handful of weaker tracks, including the juvenile 'Gary's Got a Boner'. Rating: 2.5/5 Playlist track: Unsatisfied Date listened: 23/05/23

Ganska tråkigt och intetsägande.

Still trying to work out why it's on the list......

Decent punk/post punk album, good listen

есть пару неплохих песенок, но в остальном очень проходной альбом

довольно искренние ребята, но при этом не зацепило меня сильно

Увидев название одной из композиций, Androgynous, почему-то настроил себя на что-то Боуи-подобное. Нет, вообще не так. Не прочувствовал. И посмеялся с названий песен, как будто почитал газету района/улицы. Томми вырезали миндалины, а у Гэри стояк. Если брать их попытки в тяжелое, то лучше всего это получилось в 20th Century Boy и Temptations Eyes. А, точно, это же блин каверы... ха. Ну, значит, не получилось.

OK - had wondered about these guys, mentioned a few times by different things that were interesting. Nothing leapt from the listen, a nice solo here and there, but not enough to earn a 'like' on Spotify

It's the kind of music that grows on you, but it hasn't grown on me much yet.

p522. 1984. 2 stars. Distinctly average US band that can't make their minds up on whether they want to be The Clash or The Jam, but unfortunately lack the talent to be either. Not essential listening.

Sounds like the precursor to 90s rock, such as bush. Fine but nothing to go crazy about. Sounds ok. Like a 2.5

Seems woke for the 80's but a bit boring soz. 2.5 stars rounded down to 2.

wasn't that much into what i think was punk back in the day. Thanks for sharing it though

A bit hit and miss, to my taste, only the hits aren’t that great either. But very happy to hear that a band like this was singing songs like “Androgyonous” way back in 1984.

I didn't really like this album. The music was fine, but I didn't enjoy the singing. The themes of the songs were cool, especially Androgynous, but everything else got in the way of me enjoying the album. Definitely not the album for me. 1.5/5 Favorite song: Black Diamond Worst song: Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out

Pah, whats this man?

not my style

I think the idea of "Androgynous" is really cool, especially for 1984, so it really sucks that I don't like it from a musical perspective. Actually, most of this album is full of "cool ideas" that just don't work on my ears, so I'll leave it at that - 2/5 not for me. Is this truly post-punk though? Seems like just regular punk to me.

Meh

thank you, next

Really sub par album.

semmoinen. kitaraa todellakin soitetaan... rumpali on yksi maailman rumpaleista! bassoa käytetään taustalla, ja vokalisti laulaa sanoja. 1980-luku näyttää taas kyntensä...viilattu...TYLSÄKSI. black diamond varmaan paras

Boner killer.

I should love this. I don't. Not sure why. Not punk enough anymore, and edging into an era of rock I'm all done with? I don't know. This bored me. Wild. Sorry!

Pas mémorable, mais juste assez bon pour garder intéressé.

To the band's credit, the mundane and uninspiring nature of this album is explained by the band's name. Yet another album that doesn't belong here.

These guys may have been cutting edge in the 80s, but by today's standards, this feels way behind the curve.

definitely nothing special -3 out of 5

Listened Before? N Ehhhh... this was okay. After reading the wikipedia entry for this album it seems the band decided to tone down their formerly punk sound into some slower songs. I was not a fan. The slower songs drone on, and sound like a million other 80s indie rock acts. The remaining punk songs saved the record, though. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Favorite Thing

The Replacements – Let It Be Nice guitar in parts. Don’t really like vocals. Many tracks are repetitive. Some tracks e.g. Black Diamond have some genuine emotion and cool riffs. The softer/acoustic parts have some solid artistry. Also, Androgynous is non-binary love song from 1984, so that’s interesting, I guess. Decent variety of tone, themes, and musical style, but there’s not a lot I like. Top Tracks: - Black Diamond – Great riff and some genuine emotion. Only part I dislike is the anticlimactic end.

It's not so bad but the sound isn't perfect.

Average semi-punk, reminded me of Eddie & The Hot Rods. Not my scene, man.

It was okay.

Håpte da skulle falla i smak, men den gang ei

I have absolutely no memory of what kind of music this was. Listening to some of it again (to refresh my memory of yesterday's forgotten run through) I find myself wonder why it was included. It's fairly uninspired rock and roll. Bizarre.

This seems like a pretty typical alt/punk album. I'm not sure what makes it special, but I enjoyed most of it. This is the stuff I loved growing up, so my enjoyment of it was probably more nostalgia than anything.

nope. this is mediocre punk at best.

replace _this_

I know I've heard the Replacements before, but I don't know what. I like the Crash Test Dummies' cover of "Androgynous" and the version of that track on this album is good too. Some of the tracks were too noisy and musically incoherent. Most of the tracks were fighting to reach the okay level. I just don't think I can round up to 3 stars. I did not hate the album, but 8 out of 12 tracks got less than 3 stars.

I didn't really like it, though I do like their song Alex Chilton, from a different album.

Two punk albums in as many days. Pixies were better.

Listened to it and already forgot about it.

Nicely heartfelt singing. Melodic punky. Pretty rough and ready.

Un punk tranquillo, ascoltabile. Un po' piatto però

Not really a fan, but I try to be.

Was ok but different

did not like it.

Is it punk?

Meh

Good punk music with a little pinch of the 80's sound in it, but overall, a good album.

A great example of one of those albums that, at my age, I shrug and turn off halfway through. It's decent, but it ain't for me.

Perfekter Werkzeugkasten für einen alternativen „Reality Bites“ Soundtrack. Teils schlimme Metall‘eske Nummern („Black Diamond“), aber auch ganz gutes softes Material („Androgynous“) wird geboten. Aber kein aus Aufsehen meinerseits 2.2

Interessante Mischung, verwirrt mich. Referenzen die mir auf Anhieb einfallen: Smiths, Bad Brains, Boomtown Rats, Danzig. Ob gleich noch Klaus Lage kommt? Und auch Nirvana haben ganz offensichtlich gut hingehört. Wäre sicher erhellend, mehr Kontext zu dieser von Namen ja gar nicht so selten gesehen Band zu haben, aber … wir hören hier jetzt seit einem Jahr fast jeden Tag ein neues Album von neuen Interpreten. Manchmal wird man müder und öfters wird es egaler.

Didn’t vibe

Wish this one had stuck closer to the crude, punkier tracks that showed real instrumental and thematic verve. The intermingling of piano ballads and slower pieces just killed all momentum and cohesion of the LP as a whole.

Dull. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this one. 'Androgynous' is the most listened on this album and its just a generic 4 chord thing

Didn’t like very well

nie zo goe

maybe it was cooler at the time

Solid album, interesting to listen to but nothing to write home about

I think Nirvana owe them some money. Extra star for song title "Gary's got a boner"

Good songs but bad album, inconsistent

5/10

Fine.

Nothing to write home about.

Not bad, sounds kind of like a post-The Police sound…very short and nothing stood out though

Handful of good songs. Not as spectacular as people make it out to be. First of these albums I’ve heard previously.

It was okay, nothing special in my opinion. 2/5 stars.

Much better punk groups exist than this.

Not super my type of music. I don't think it's bad, nor do I regret listening to it. But nothing really stuck with me.

lol theres a song called Gary's got a boner

Started off promisingly but failed to hold my attention. Not bad, but not great either. It just didn't resonate with me.

Not available on the music streaming platform I use.

Very Lane Kim angst.

Ok

Лучше чем meat is murder, бодрее гораздо, но все равно стайлак не в моем стиле так сказатб.

"I Will Dare" is brilliant, there are one or two others that are good. But I don't see what's meant to make it so good.

80s sound bit punky, no doubt influential for something but not something I will ever listen to

Saved Prior: None Saved Off Rip: I Will Dare Cutting Edge: Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out, Androgynous, Seen Your Video Overall Notes: I really did not like this one on first listen, but I saw the appeal on second listen. Would've given it a one for sure after first listen, got bumped up to a 2 after a couple more listens. I do like I Will Dare a lot though.

Some parts I enjoyed but punk never seems to strike a chord with me though I found this a less agonising punk album to listen to as it seemed to lean towards rock in areas. It was ok 2*

Hmm is a bit too loose and messy for my taste. Sloppy music.

Nee, ik word hier gewoon niet zo blij van.

Beetje te heftig om leuk te vinden

They were loved at CKCU and I even bought their 87 release so I could listen to Alex Chilton over and over. It’s good that at this time they were (slowly) getting away from a punk sound on this LP, since it was 1984. Androgynous is interesting and probably didn’t appeal to their core audience, but it’s a bit lame melodically and the lyrics lack wit, and if I put it on a list of piano ballads I know it’ll probably come in last. Black Diamond and Sixteen Blue are more melodic and lass grungy but I'm not so crazy about stuff like Gary’s Gotta Boner and How do you Say Goodnight to an Answering Machine.

eh, its alright. really long tho. ik its extended

I liked Seen your video the best, probably because it was mostly instrumental - good driving post punk music. The rest was not very exciting

Admittedly not all the time I put enough attention to these records, with this one I tried but to me seems quite irrelevant. Artistically speaking there is nothing to write home about but I guess they made a statement years ahead of their time, you go Replacements!

Forgettable

Fun listen, not bad

OK 2.5+ Liked the weird sound effects on final track ‘Answering Machine’ the best

I think these guys wanted to be British and about 8 years earlier. There are two decent songs here, Androgynous and Black Diamond. The rest of it is really quite annoying though, hence the low score. I couldn't wait for it to finish.

Paikoitellen ihan toimivaa, mutta saattaa johtua muuten niin sysipaskasta viikosta :D

Nothing special

It was okay.

Should have taken their own advice, there’s another album with that name already ya na?

1984: Androgynous, Unsatisfied, I Will Dare

Horrible. Sounded like noise. Many preferable sounds

1. dare -0 2. thing - 0 3. coming - 1 4. tommy - 0 .5 andro - 1 6. black - 2 7. unzatizfied - 1 8. video - 1 9. boner - 1 10. blue - 1 11. machine - 1

Por ratos lo sentí desordenado con una energía bastante fuerte. Hay canciones peculiares, pero no fueron de mi gusto.

Not for me. 1/5

Ugggghhh do I have to? God these posers are SO OVERRATED. Even "I Will Dare" is a complete rip off of the The Vandals or some bad Neil Young song. Also you named your album "Let It BE?" WTF Man I hate the Replacements. Ugh.

I found this quite dull

Not for me

it was very forgettable post punk

Yg6h6

No

Bum rot. Just an atonal sludge of noise and abrasive vocals offering almost nothing of any value. Paul McCartney should sue for reputational damage in case anyone thinks this has a connection to the Beatles album.

Early punk. Sounds like all the rest. Nothing unique.

Næhhh

Je n’ai reussi à ecouter que le premier disque : rock punk, alternatif. Dans l’album il y a hard rock et balade rock. Beaucoup de guitare au son garage, la voix du chanteur assez grave et lisse, peu chanté, je n’accroche pas

Ikke fundet

this is so ass bro its like the 80s version of shitty 2000s pop punk

2/10

Truly horrible stuff. 0/100

Noise

Not good. Almost finished it, but it's just not good.

There have and always be angry young men, I think more so in Great Brittan, this album is that in audible form.

This type of thinking is how we've allowed fascism to take over.

Nah

this isn't my music, but the inspiration Connor Oberst drew from this album in his Commander Venus days seems obvious to me "androgynous" - can't quite decide if this is critical of 80s androgyny, or in support of it...? "he might be a father but he sure ain't a dad" is a good line "unsatisfied" and "sixteen blue" are probably the most tolerable tracks for me, the melody of "seen your video" isn't horrid the guitar and general music of sixteen blue remind me of neko case answering machine...a relic of another time

ew

I don't understand the fuss about this band or record, wasn't impressed in the late eighties when I came across their music during my teenage punk/indie years and three decades later it still doesn't impress me. The only thing I can clearly hear is what Kurt Cobain listened to in his teens and how Westerberg's singing (?) style influenced his. But no, not for me, neither punk nor indie, mediocre rock songs, drunken bar ballads ("Androgynous') pub rock covers (from Kiss and T. Rex), ridiculous self-deprecating lyrics, ("Gary's Got a Boner"), let alone the sloppy production of this record. If this represents "one of the greatest albums of the decade", to quote Stephen Thomas Erlewine, then "I Will Dare" him. Totally misplaced on this list. 1/5

I've realised I really struggle to enjoy music when the singer can't sing

English rock,punk band. No big hits to speak of.

This album flew by so fast I didn’t even realize I was listening to anything. Not for me I guess.

1/5

Wish they taken their own advice. Please Please Me!

Deathly dull, mid-80s American rock cosplaying (badly) as alternative music.

Interesting for about 4 and a half minutes. Then it gets silly and tiresome. Punk after punk was relevant. Great name for a band but the songs aren't there on this album to back it up. In the city by the jam ripped off at least 4 times on this album. Meh.

okay, I didn't like it but I saw so many good reviews I started to listen to it again. First song was okay, but it went downhill fast. It's a no for me.

Replacements for what? The Ramones? No, definitely not my thing.

Can’t stand the singer, and the unpolished production. Not sure why this is defined as “alternative”.

Too much of the same sound.

Couldnt enjoy this. Not for me.

Got two tracks in and didn't like it

53/1001 - British James Hetfield voice and sloppy musicianship.

Sounds sloppy and the production was not great Forgettable, couldn’t tell when the album ended and it started back from the beginning

dont remember a second but I know I wasn't into it

Forgettable

💩

Not my style, sorry

Punk done dumb. Not my thing. Even the KISS cover is lazy AF.

Sounds like and about as good as the band I was in when I was 13

Sure I heard this lot at my local pub the other Saturday but then realised that the pub band were miles better. Heard this stuff a 1001 times before and I’m bored of it. Good name for an album though but this record does not speak words of wisdom so let it be. 1/5 2/5/24

One star so I can press the vote button.

There's absolutely nothing on here to recommend. No good songs, no riffs, no musicianship, no good lyrics. Just no.

Not my style

It’s like new wave instrumentation with punk vocal. A bit sun-standard Clash or Police. Not for me. By “answering machine” (the last track) I just wanted to delete all messages.

This album is all over the place. Shouty punk 10 years too late.

Please stop giving me shitty English rock bands. Please.

Wow, this is total garbage. How did this ever make it on the best-of list of anyone? It's bad punk rock but without the speed and energy. Not that those would make it good, mind you. But the only thing that's left are the other typical hallmarks of punk rock: bad singing, dumb lyrics, lack of instrumental skill (which the speed and energy typically try to cover up), absolute lack of songwriting skill, tacky teenage angst.

not for me

Oh mama I can r everything TeAqeu qis is going well with w attayay as st A q stawe

Did not like at all. Could not finish the album.

Ehhhh

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

1984 doesn't inspire much confidence. We'll see. Ok absolutely the fuck not. Boo.

Just ok for me. Didn't seem like it was professionally put together. Wonder if they ever got better.

Not my thing

Not the vibe I'm lookin' for.

Shit, boring, turned it off

Sorrý, þetta er mjög leiðinlegt. Á hvaða plánetu telst þetta góð plata?

Not for me.

Meh, im not a fan of the punk

Young garage band sound. Rather noisy. I think they have talent, but lack the skills. Music schooling would benefit them, if I may.

Rougher, früher Punkrock. Nicht ganz so meins

Blubbert als ereignislose Hintergrundmusik so durch und reiht sich somit in die Liste der Bands ein, von denen ich auf gar keinen Fall noch einmal etwas hören möchte. Ersatzlos streichen, bitte!

Very boring, not my thing.

It's pleasant- I can appreciate what they've tried but don't see what's so groundbreaking about this? When I think of the albums that have missed out because their 'Genre-quota' of 25 albums was full I realise what's wrong with the album selection of the 1001.

Gary's Got a Boner, that is all.

Crap

bueh!

Not my type of music

Next

It's not bad. It's just not for me.

Not able to finish listening

Just not for me! Felt very simplistic and not particularly sonically interesting!

Boring album. Poorly mixed

hmm

вообще не вкатило, то метал, то панк, определитесь ребятки, по жанрам прыгаете как по хуям! только первый трек дал муд поездки в кэмпервэне по хайвэю в вайоминге

Another stinker

Very uninspiring and extremely beige. It’s a rock album with nothing much going for it. You’ll be looking for something else to listen to by the halfway mark at least. 1 Star!

It was ok

Te compromisloos, teveel geschreeuw en te rommelig. Wederom punk en noise heb ik nooit begrepen.

bad
