Reviews (page 13 of 13)

Rating: 1.0 I have very little patience for live albums already, I just can’t do this shit anymore.

Livealbum

Boring, no vocals

Not a fan of this style of music.

Not for me

Not my vibe

No he entrado mucho en el disco, no me ha llamado la atención.

Interesting

Fela Kuti lived an amazing life that is worth knowing about. Afrobeat is unfortunately not for me though. Tracks to Track: Zombie (not from this album)

Have not listened to this album

Looked at the reviews, either 5s or 1s. Its another live album, which spells shite for me. I gave it a chance, but no chance. F#@%ing load of rubbish. I might as well listen to random albums rather than be fed this daily bilge. 1001 albums, where from.

En que momento me he comido unas setas ???

Repetitive and generally not appealing. Made me irritated and could not finish.

I can understand how this album would be influential in its genre, but it’s not my taste. I can see listening to this style of music in an outside bar in the Caribbean but other than that it’s not for me.

Repetitive and boring throughout. Not much to say, but I would have rather not listened to it. Not really sure why it's on this list.

This album’s true artistic quality has nothing to do with my rating- I personally was just not equipped with the taste to enjoy it. It reminded me of the parts of live concerts where they introduce the band but it went on for a full hour and that’s just something I do not know how to appreciate.

Long winded but fun and funky

As someone who has played drums for many years, I bizarrely found this very irritating

this album wasn't my thing

Afrobeat not really my thing tbh. But the music is quite nice and good chill music. drum solo kinda crazy Ngl. I’d give it a 1/5.

No, thank you

duran caleta las canciones

I'm less than a tenth of the way through this list, but I feel as though I can pretty confidently call this the biggest swing and a miss that I will ever encounter on this website. I think I've consolidated what I don't like about this in my other reviews, so I'm gonna lay it out real quick in bruhllet point form 🗿https://youtu.be/Oc7Cin_87H4🗿 Live albums are near-impossible to appreciate from the perspective of a non-fan and do not belong on this list. They aren't popular, don't showcase a pivotal point in music history and don't capture the experience of listening to music live. 🗿https://youtu.be/Oc7Cin_87H4🗿 Long songs are for the artistically suicidal. Unless we're talking about one of the greatest anthems of all time - a song that will reverberate in the eardrums of millions for centuries to come, trim it down. 🗿https://youtu.be/Oc7Cin_87H4🗿 Jazz is shite, especially the freeform stuff Please load up your digital audio workstation of choice and play three vine boom sound effects together in my honor

It’s a racket

The live atmosphere doesn't come across really, and I don't care about drum solo's.

музон приятный, да и со стариной я уже знаком. но хорошего должно быть понемногу !!!

не ритммчиские выкреки 0/10

This is not my thing at all but I can appreciate it. I respect the tight playing of instruments and I get why people may somewhat enjoy it. But people love this? I think people pretend to like this sort of stuff so it makes them seem cool. Whether the tracks were two minutes long, over ten minutes like they are here, or even if it was just one long track it wouldn't matter, it all sounds the same. Fela introduces each song and on 'TRACK 3' says he wrote it for Ginger Baker. He wrote these songs? I can't help but feel that you can't write stuff like this. It's as if some talented musicians all got up on stage and just played whatever they felt like. It's an overly long jazzy wank fest of the highest order with occasional decent vocals. To my ears, it's essentially a jam session. Maybe I'm more standard thinking when it comes to music. It should have a catchy melody or a memorable tune. A riff, a vocal line, something to hum or sing along to. This has none of those things, which is fine, if you're into this then great, I'm pleased for you, but I don't get it.

Not really my thing

1 song

Viel instrumental ohne Gesang. Wer das mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben, für mich irgendwie zu hektisch und zu wenig angenehmer Gesang.

Schade! Wieder nichts. Endlos lange Titel im immer gleichen Rhythmus.

couldn't find

A new worst ... Congrats!

uugghhh

I'm not a fan of purely acoustic albums- the songs in this album seemed to drag on and were highly repetitive in my opinion. I will try to finish listening, but it already feels like I've been listening for hours.

Oh geez. How is this on the list? I don't like jazz at the best of times, but this is the pits! The singer reminds me of a Nigerian James Brown without access to songwriters. So, the inclusion of Ginger Baker's name appears to be nothing but marketing. Honestly, the number of drummers worth writing about or specifically listening for can be counted on one hand. Let's see: Peter Criss for Beth and a pretty cool solo in 100,000 Years; The singer from The Romantics; Scott Travis in Painkiller and every Priest release after that; Mick Tucker for being exactly 25% of The Sweet. Even the really important drummer in ABBA generally goes unknown. Bottom line - this is rubbish, and won't grace my lovely digital record player (Vinyl Fetish by Argentinian developer, German Buela) again. Postscript - playing bass in these types of bands must be the most dissatisfying experience ever. This guy is playing the same pattern over and over and over and over again!

Rad beets, not my jam

Endless jams. Second didn’t-listen-to-the-whole-songs album in a row.

Album Nr. 52 Ne. Ich kann das nicht anhören.

Short album insofar as there are only a few tracks, but all are lengthy. Each song started out strong and interesting and vivacious but tapered off into something less intriguing as they carried on. Was a chore to not skip some of the songs at minute 5 or 6.

Songs are 12+ minutes long - it started good and if you want background jams this might work

Å nej, är det jazz... :( Avslutar med 16 minuter trumsolo, så klart. 1 / 5

I dont get it

Just not my style reference. May be good for workouts, though!

Pas mon genre de musique

I really did not like this album. The songs all sounded the same and I do not understand how any meaning is received from this music. Definitely not my style. Favorite Song(s): N/A

Not for me

not for me at all

Blocked

Nope. Too repetitive

very boring.

Cannot be listened to sober

Terrible music…

Periaatteessa erittäin kuunneltavaa, mutta jazz-soolot varmistavat, etten tule ikinä kuuntelemaan uudestaan.

Hmmm, another one where obviously it’s me that’s missing something. Im sure this is great but I don’t get it; again it’s Not For Me™️

Not on spotify

first day,, this is not my favourite genre. 6 long songs totalling 1h when i'm supposed to sleep so uh.. skipped the first song after the halfway mark, played a bit of the rest to see if there's any i generally vibe with, andd there aren't. might come back to this if i have more time, to see if it grows on me, but i highly doubt so

Not my type of thing

Jäi kesken. Ei vaan pysty. Paskaa.

16 min drum solo.... negative 100 stars

Not enough to enjoy with this one

Muy corto. No me ha gustado

Que es esto!

This does absolutely nothing for me.

Fela Kuti is regarded as the pioneer of Afrobeat music, and this is an album he recorded in 1971 with Cream's former drummer - Ginger Baker. The album has 4 songs and is a total of 46 minutes long. The rhythm of the music is tantalizing, but I personally found no engaging substance other than that to vibe with. I'm sure when this album dropped in Africa, everyone was partying to it, but probably not so much in the America's or Europe.

4 decent world music jazz jams and a 16 minute long drum solo. 1 star just for that self-indulgent mush.

This album wasn't really for me, I didn't like it that much. 1/5 stars.

Ei tämä nyt oikein lähtenyt.
