Reviews (page 7 of 8)
I went through my grunge phase in middle/high school nearly a decade late. I wore flannels and ripped jeans in 2001. I've known about Mudhoney for at least that long, though I've often confused them with Meat Puppets (in name alone). Meat Puppets were good. This is... fine, I guess? I can at least understand why it would be on the list, given that it's one of the earliest examples of grunge. It's just not super listenable, I'm not tapping my toes, I'm not expecting to have any of this stuck in my head, I'm not going to go out and listen to the rest of their discography. But I have finally listened to a Mudhoney album, so I can check that off the list of things I never really intended to do. Stand out track is definitely "Broken Hands" which is the first time they show that they have the capability of at least a little dynamic range. Otherwise, much of this sounds like teenagers playing their instruments loudly with novice ability. I guess if that's your thing, cool, but it's not what I want to listen to. My eardrums are already dead from my time listening to stuff like this.
Elevator music of grunge. Every song sounded the same and it went on for too long. Not a fan.
Grunge
Don't whine and moan at me. Unsustainable.
2/5 ..... and no comment!
Entry point for grunge, but as listenable than later bands
Not the good kind of grunge
I expected this to be kinda funky based on the artist name. Kinda feels like a better version of the Butthole Surfers as we come right off from that ride. Move Out was probably the best. Grunge still continues to be toward the bottom of my list of favorite genres, but this one wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either.
I don't get it, it's a pleasant listen, Good Enough and Thorn in particular, has good energy and everything, but not remotely deserving of a place on this list. 2.
Did not get much out of this tbh. Grungey, noisy, not much in the way of a tune or lyrical interest, but at least it felt like they were having fun. 2/5.
More punk than I was expecting, which is not my favorite genre. Didn't love the probably purposefully low production quality, but other than that nothing stuck out as terrible. Just not my bag.
Decent album, raw production but still creative. Songs blended together a little for me.
Noise
A pretty average version of a style of music with limited room for error.
Meh, wasn't super impressed, 4/10
Only a couple songs I liked
Muddy garage rock. Some nice riffs but also messy-Not my jam 2/5
Not sure it was basic
I knew the name - back then - a must see band - but its at what I call the 'hard' end of the JJJ musical spectrum for me
No thank you I’m good 😊
Enjoyed it, enough. Repetative.
Nothing really sticking out on this one. It has an energy more akin to garage rock than grunge if you ask me, but that's not enough to make it really interesting.
Meh. Nothing to see here, move along.
It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it wasn't at all. Too samey, nothing memorable. I don't get it.
nee
Goofy ahh album. En dan nog het lef hebben om een kind van 4 je album cover te laten maken
Dit waren een zware 42 minuten moet ik zeggen. Niet echt leuk
Didn’t do a whole lot for me
Eh!
Bad, better than a lot of other meh grunge but most grunge is not great. You are not gonna get me to like Pearl Jam or Soundgraden, sorry, I do not care
Very mid album. Top tracks: Into The Drink
Did nothing for me
“Good Enough” was good! Surprising harmonies. But very repetitive.
Favourite songs: Shoot the Moon, Who You Drivin' Now?, Into the Drink, Something So Clear Least favourite songs: Don't Fade IV (what's with the random snoring noises?) 2/5
Grunge seems to be either very good or very bad. This is the latter. If I was 15 and gave it a hundred listens I reckon I'd have grown to like it. But that time has long gone.
Nervig...
Ist mir vor allem anfangs zu punkig = nervig, anstrengend, repetitiv. Cooles Album Cover.
2/5 naaaaah
5/10 Unfortunately no song stands out
Sounds like a high school band but worse.
2/5
I wasn't aware of Mudhoney and have little desire to hear them again. The sound is just flat and the longer it went on the worse it seemed to get.
A bit of a fan of fuzz rock, but this is a less defined sound than Mudhoney's big hitters and, ergo, comes across a bit generic
Gear: Aür Audio Aurora Mische: klingt (wohl oder übel) adäquat roh und schrammelig für Anfang 90er Grunge Mugge: mellow Vocals werden getragen auf einem Bett von undifferenzierten Gitarren und debil-simplen Drums. keine "Wows" zu finden hier (außer "Something So Clear") Wertung: 2/5
I’ve never really found Mudhoney that interesting. Their Superfuzz Bigmuff EP is pretty admirable for its time as a proto-grunge release but they never really took it to the next level. By 1991 we’ve seen Nevermind, Ten, and Badmotorfinger, and Facelift is just around the corner. While this record has a lot of energy, with that pretty clear Dinosaur Jr influence, it just lacks the catchiness, directness and ambition of those other releases
never cared for garage music, grunge generally on thin ice. this album is psychologically irritating to be with and i think it’s at least partially on purpose
every song sounds the same
Not really much of anything.
Fuck grunge
Skipped through most of it. Labeled "garage punk" which sounds accurate. Probably would have been better in the day. 2.5
01) Generation Genocide - 4,0 02) Let It Slide - 7,0 03) Good Enough - 7,0 04) Something So Clear - 5,0 05) Thorn - 5,5 06) Into the Drink - 5,5 07) Broken Hands - 5,0 08) Who You Drivin' Now? - 5,5 09) Move Out - 6,0 10) Shoot the Moon - 6,0 11) Fuzzgun '91 - 7,0 12) Pokin' Around - 5,5 13) Don't Fade IV - 5,0 14) Check-Out Time - 5,5 TOTAL: 5,68 (57/100) I was a big Nirvana fan in the 90's but this did nothing for me...
Better than expected. Very Stone Roses, Jesus and Mary Chain, Velvet Underground, Sigur Ros. Smooth production. Not too loud or too much. Nice balance. Not too pop, not too avant garde. Kinda peaceful.
Interesting album from one of the founders of the Seattle grunge scene. I had to keep forcing myself to finish this one, I don’t think I was in the right mood today haha. “Fuzz Gun 91” was a standouts track; I enjoyed how it was an instrumental. Not a lot memorable from this album but it wasn’t horrible. Two stars.
Not a fan of grundge really. The songs all sound the same and i really didn't want to sit through the whole thing 1.5 stars
not for me
Known before: Nothing Standouts: / Rating: 3.0
Meh.
Only a couple of decent songs, mostly they sound like a garage band
This may be the best 2. But I have rated so many things 3s that are so much better than this. This should be a 3, but in comparison, it's a 2.
não estou com humor para grunge recentemente, deu minha cota de nirvana esse ano
Mostly exhausting. Some things I like about it, like the fuzzy sound, the raw parts of it. Makes sense that they're a Seattle band drawing comparisons to Pearl Jam, another band I have similar difficulty appreciating for some reason.
So far, this is really floating by in the background. feels like kinda generic grunge.
Repetitive
This album doesn’t even have the common decency to be bad. It’s just meh.
clear as
I like the music a lot more than I like the vocals. Apparently they paved the way a bit for grunge, but give me Nirvana I think. But again maybe it's just a genre I don't like that much
It ain’t no Nirvana but it’s alright.
lost interest fast
I’m not really into grunge, but my friend Andy does!
This was a long and tedious listen. This does absolutely nothing for me. I don't find it interesting enough to even hate it. Boring 90s grunge rock - completely lacking the pathos or complexity of Nirvana or even Pearl Jam. 2/5
Mudhoney is okay. I appreciate that they pioneered a genre, and it's interesting to here the beginnings of grunge - but it's still just okay.
Just seems kinda bland? I don't get it
Kinda seems like noise. Has recognizeable aspects of punk and grunge but not as good as other examples of those styles. Sounds like a mediocre garage band both in skill and recording quality.
Granted, I listened to this while trapped in a crowded subway car with no a/c, so listening to this on my commute only added to my agitation. It's definitely not BAD musicianship, but no track stood out as something I'd want to revisit. For me, that's the greatest sin of a list called "1001 albums to hear before you die." Nothing I experienced was something I haven't and couldn't have heard from another artist. If I'm being generous, it was interesting to hear a band at the exact midpoint between post punk and grunge. If I'm not, there's a valid reason I'd never heard of Mudhoney before today. You know its a head scratcher of a choice when listening just reminds you of the underrepresented genres, geographies and artists (cough cough women) from this list.
I would have been all over this back in '91. Not so 24 years later on a damp Thursday morning. What a bloody racket. The more melodic tracks such as Good Enough at least dial it down slightly. There's tunes in there, until the dumb reverb swallows them up. I'm surprised I made it to the end.
Nah
Didn't like this. Too rough and raucous with no strong melodies, too shouty.
Un punk medio choto, cansados. Rescato unos arreglitos.
Meh, expected more out of it. Constant repetitive lyrics and subpar vocals. Enjoy the instruments though.
Looking at this appear with a 29 track-long caused a definite sinking feeling. Fortunately, that appears to be the 30th anniversary "deluxe" edition. I'll be sticking to the 14 tracks of the original, thanks. First couple of those tracks I think "They're doing some interesting drumming. The production sounds a bit weird. Is this deliberate?" I think it is deliberate. Interesting. That drumming though. That stands out as being something worth focusing on - if I can. After a while of listening but not listening - I realise that I am bored witless.
Þetta er allt í lagi. Meira post-pönk en ég bjóst við.
Nja...
Not sure this is one of the 1,001 albums I needed to hear before I died, but that cover definitely belongs on the list of 1,001 Very Good Drawings Done By a 2 Year Old. I just absolutely do not get the draw of any grunge that is not explicitly Nirvana.
Digging the sound so far and that they kept a small grunge label alive instead of signing some bigger deal. Respectable. Def done dope garage grunge sounds here. I’m super into that, but it doesn’t have much pushing it past the novelty of the genre. The album is a tad too long in my opinion but at least the tracks remain consistent in quality The guitar solo at the end of broken hands was nutty thooo Overall, this album seemed to just be going through the motions. Not much happened. 👍: shoot the moon, fuzz gun ‘91
It really wasn’t a great day for me to listen to this I had a lot to do and only got though it once. It was just too noisy for my taste. I think that is also amplified by me listening with headphones. I probably should give this another shot, but I probably won’t. Good enough is a pretty good song but nothing else stood out to me. Only silver lining here is there were a few points where I felt like I could be playing tony hawk pro skater. Heard b4: None Best: Good enough MMM: INTO THE DRINK!!!!! INTO THE DRINK!!!!! INTO THE DRINK!!!!! PS: listened to some of the songs again b4 bed, not with headphones, and as I suspected it wasn't as bad. Under perfect conditions, maybe I could see myself wanting to listen to some of these songs again. I get why someone may enjoy this, but it's still not for me.
I agree with one of my esteemed colleagues that there's too much grunge on this list. And this is not particularly interesting grunge either.
It didn't really do anything for me and doesnt feel like a standout in its style
I'm to old for this shit. I've no need to annoy my parents any more. Nirvana and pixies came on after this and it was such a relief.
I want to like it because it's sub pop.
So, so grungy. I liked “Broken Hands”
Ei tää nyt oikeen… eka ep on hyvä mutta tämän unohdin melkeen heti kun olin kuunnellut. 2/5
Juuh, listan väsähtäneet ysärirock-levyt osa 73. Broken Handsin kohdalla havahduin, muuten toisesta korvasta ulos.
En olekaan pitkään aikaan kuunnellut grungea, Vähän epätasainen levy kyllä tämä, 2/5.
This should be right up my alley, but I find the songs indistinct and it sounds awful. Ho hum.
Some good bits but nothing majorly memorable on there for my liking. Plenty of better records coming out of the grunge scene
Made breakfast to it, it was early. Don’t see it as a “half to listen to” album
It's about time to confess I've always struggled with grunge: it passed me by throughout my alienated teenage years, has never given me the wild sense of abandon it's supposed to thrive on, and turned me off by taking such a cue from metal. While many grunge artists rejected the label, Mudhoney are nonetheless seen as one of its progenitors, ticking all the key boxes: based in Seattle, signed on the Sub Pop label, growling and grinding their way through an abrasive catalogue. "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge", their second album released at the onset of grunge's explosion in popularity, has some ear-grabbing moments, but is ultimately too much mud and not enough honey for my taste. The recordings are wilfully homespun, having been taped on low-quality 8-track, which adds to the band's singular style but doesn't make for a pleasant listen. It's a constant assault of grungy power chords deep-fried in fuzz, ugly chord changes pressing up against each other. Mark Arm's vocals shriek and howl above it all, often obscured in noise. From the grinding dirge-shuffle kicking off "Generation Genocide", through to the end of "Check-Out Time", it's oppressive and aggressive. "Let it Slide", "Thorn" and "Into the Drink" are chaotic avalanches of sound, and the likes of "Something So Clear" are repetitive one-chord rampages with volcanic toms. That said, it's not completely dreadful, and has some worthy moments. "Who You Drivin' Now?" is a nice, straightforward garage rock number that feels like an alternative successor to the 60's. "Good Enough" is a strong single with a satisfying hook and intricate drum beat. Finally, the lead guitar counter-melody in "Pokin' Around" is about as far as we get to any jangle or memorable musical figures. I appreciate many people would find more to like in this collection, but right now I'm not one of them.
I really wanted to like this. But I just didn't the songs are just sort of there. With no soul at all. What's really weird is, I listened to it an hour ago and can't remember ANYTHING from it. Not a good sign. I was really hoping to like this.
Not my style
Huh
Decent rock. And that’s it
This is somewhere between Nirvana and Dinosaur Jr, they probably influenced Queens of the Stone Age, but it's not as good as any of them. It's not really bad, but it sounds like they want to rock hard without putting in the effort. It's OK, but not essential. Favorite song: Who You Drivin' Now.
Don't really care for it.
2.5
I should like but don't really
Not my thing.
not very interesting
njesra
Eww punk. Not the worst though.
Drum work was fire. Unfortunately this album didn’t resonate with me.
Its fine, I dont like grunge that much
Why is this on the list
Helt ok, några dängor men lite väl muddy för mig
Mjeh så trist"!!
I’m starting to see the appeal of this kind of music, but I’m still at a point where I just don’t really care for it. Album Cover: Cool 4/5
This sounded like it wanted to be a lot of different styles of music, but couldn't make up its mind. They're a competent band, but I've heard these genres before and played better.
It was OK. Nothing stood out.
Oli mukana rakentamassa grungea ja vaikutti vahvasti mm. Nirvanaan, mutta syystäkin jäi jalkoihin kuitenkin. Pari parempaa, suurin osa kuulosti vaan meteliltä. Vaatis varmaan enemmän kuuntelukertoja päästäkseen paremmin sisälle
Utterly unremarkable.
Nope nope nope.
Alright, another artist I've never heard of before, let's go! 2 songs in. OK, this is some 90's Seattle grunge scene stuff. Like Nirvana but twice as goofy and a quarter as talented. A quarter of Nirvana is still worth a couple stars though.
i don't think i like grunge 4/10
Good punkish album
za cichy wokal
Generic grunge. Don’t recall a single song. Would not listen again.
Not good, didn't really notice it as I was working whilst listening
2.5/5. First time hearing this one.
Never really got into this band, maybe I'm too young
Like their EP way better, this is a bit of a sleeper zzzzzz . . . but i will say the guitars do have that great fuzz sound and an influential band for the grunge scene
It had its moments which were swamped by plenty of turgid grunking.
Mudhoney fut longtemps une de mes plus grandes fiertés dans le grand quizz du générateur. En effet, je les reconnaissais à chaque fois, sans trop comprendre pourquoi. Passé le temps de cette satisfaction, la présence d'un second album de leur part n'etait absolument pas nécessaire.
Had some good drums/guitars, but overall this felt just the same as many other mediocre grunge bands and I'm not a huge fan of that.
I believe this is our second from Mudhoney, another fuzzy, grungy rock album. Again, similar to the Sonic Youth album we just had, I just don't feel in the mood for this kind of music. It ran together and not much stood out. I think I enjoyed the previous album more, but yeah. Not much here for me. Favorite tracks: Thorn, Broken Hands. Album art: Cute? It's a very child-like drawing, but note the NAKED WOMAN in front of the boat! I do like this one though, fun style and coloring. The title is also an obvious reference to those sheet music lines. I wonder if an actual kid drew this? 2/5
Started terrible, but I felt the back half of the album had a few redeeming tracks. 1.5/5
not good
Nie sadzilem, ze kolejny albumik od tej bandy sie pojawi, a jednak jest ich drugi studyjny krazek, rownie podziemny i lofikowy jak pierwszy, every good boy deserves fudge z 91, nadal jest to grungowe granie z humorkiem, sklad sie nie zminil, wiec muzycznie plyta przypomina to co bylo na superfuzzie, tylko ze jest troche wiecej materialu, bo az 42 minuty na 14 trakach, nie tylko instrumentalnie, ale i lirycznie nadal jest to to samo, czyli utwory dziwnie luzne, mocno sarkastyczne na tematy przerozne, na plejke leci good enough i into the drink
Olipas tämä erilaista kuin odotin. Kuvittelin että Mudhoney on jotain 1990-luvun pomppuheavya/nu-metallia mutta se taisikin olla Mudvayne. Vaikka genre olikin jonkinlainen positiivinen yllätys, ei levy silti herätä suuria hurraahuutoja. Aika tylsää rokkiräimettä nuhaisilla soundeilla. Kappaleista ei parilla kuuntelulla jäänyt yksikään positiivisesti mieleen. Ei kyllä myöskään negatiivisesti. Jotain vastaavaa tässä on kuin aiemmin listalla olleessa Modern Loversin levyssä, mutta taso ei yllä lähellekään samaa. Kakkonen hennolla plussalla.
Not for me. The rhythm section seems like something I could get along with but the distorted guitar and morose vocals both stress me out and bring me down.
It was not good
Energetic but just missing something
Pas vraiment mon genre. Je resiste jusqua la fin mais je ne reexouteraipas et je n’ai pas vraiment d’interet. 2.5
Your run-of the-mill grunge album. Pretends to be raw and angry, but is mainly one thing: boring. 1.5/5
2 1\2
Para nada ni estilo.
Didnt grab me at all but didnt have to stop or skip around either
it's ok, struggling to have any thoughts on this. I've never listened to any grunge, but this was not what I was expecting. Some good energy to it, but left me feeling rather underwhelmed.
I love metal but somehow I just can’t get into most grunge. Grunge is like metal but with less talent and more whining. I was pretty bored with this one. I can see how it would be a classic for diehard grunge fans though. My favorite part was the drums, they were great throughout
Fun riffs but mostly forgettable. 5/10
Not for me.
I forgor
Ehh
Arjan gaat me vast vervloeken, maar dit trek ik echt niet. Veel te rommelig en wat een zeurzang van die Mark Arm. Pff.
In de 90's was ik enorm fan van zo'n beetje alles wat met Seattle en 'grunge' te make had. En ik wilde Mudhoney ook altijd tof vinden. Maar elke keer als ik eran begon kwam ik weer tot de conclusie dat het niet mijn ding was. En zo ook nu weer. Muziekaal wat onrustig en rommelig maar nog wel te doen. Maar dat zeikerige gesnerp van Mark Arm verpest het echt volledig.
Meh
Lots of energy. I would guess that they’d put on a rambunctious live show. For just listening, I was not all that captivated though.
Sounds like yet another punk rock simplistic power chords and screaming record. I want to see the merit in this kind of music, but I just don’t. 2 stars cause it at least has some point to it, I just don’t see anything that stands out or is that significant whatsoever. I can play power chords and scream about my tortured soul too, why aren’t I on the list?
Grungy, noisy early alt rock. Not bad but not something i would listen to again, would rather put on Nirvana for sure.
Oh, grunge. I knew the band name - knew the era, but not the style or the quality. Now I do.
Got bored. And it annoys me that to be underground / indy, they make these records that sound like they were recorded in a Wheely bin. 2
This is a distinct difference from the hair metal rock that came before it. I wouldn't call this album great but it was an okay listen.
Not impressed
got all the stuff i should like in an album. didn't like it.
Works best when it explores the fray between indie arrangements and grungier instrumentation, unfortunately leans too hard into the latter on most tracks and becomes a bit homogenous and unremarkable throughout
It started off fine. It got noisy and unbearable at times in the middle but got better towards the end. I feel like this album lacks a bit of identity. Its genre is listed as grunge, but it doesn't feel like grunge sometimes. I wasn't expecting a harmonica to be featured, but it was and it kinda slapped, all things considered. But again, not really grunge at points. Favorite track: Pokin' Around
I wrote this whole thing about how this is just another below average grunge band from the 90s. Honestly, I don't have the energy. This is fine. It's better than Pearl Jam, but that is an incredibly low bar. Some of the songs are fine, but I really just don't care for it. Highlight: 6.
very generous 2, 1.6
Stort plus för albumets omslag, den var ju riktigt fräsig. När det gäller musiken blir det ganska ofta lite för skrikigt och ett snäpp för flippat. Jag märkte dock under lyssningens gång att dom hade en del fina riffs som lyfte låtarna något. Bäst: "Broken hands"
You can hear the influences: Iggy Pop, a bit of Sabbath, garage, punk and so forth. But the deliberately muddy lo-fi production is probably more of a hindrance than a help. I enjoyed parts of this, but found it to be a bit of slog overall.
There's a place in time for this kind of music. Right now it just sounds incredibly low effort
Not a big grunge fan but I can see where this album would have been influential on the grunge scene. Has a bit of 60s garage feel and feels like a bridge between that and later Grunge scene. Do like Good Enough and a few of the slower grooves.
I've never been into grunge, but I can appreciate some of the influences on the members of Mudhoney, like the Stooges' Iggy Pop. Unfortunately, this evolution of punk on this record isn't that impressive. It's not humorous, energetic and doesn't make me feel much. Rating 2/5
Most grunge was pretty rubbish, this included.
Definitely disappointed in this one, thought I would like it a lot more than I did
Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Good Enough Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Yeesh I do not like this noisy guitar heavy grunge. I've been generous with grades for genres I don't normally listen to and so this 1.5 gets rounded up by the skin of its teeth. If future grunge albums sound like this they will not be so lucky.
Not my favorite style of music. 0RS
Nota a bad punk album but I think there are better ones that could be included here.
Racket
Not a big fan
Punk rock quoi
A un moment il y a 30 secondes d'un type qui ronfle. Et avant ça c'était déjà pas terrible. Le grunge c'est pas terrible.
The usual crap American rock band. Every good boy (and girl) deserves finer music than this. Were they on board the plane on the album cover? I hope so.
Not for me. 1/5
Bruh, it is freakin garbage. Dull af and brings nothing to the table
Walmart Nirvana
I like rock, but these tracks felt vacuous to me
generic simple and boring
actually just bad
Very not good
Pretty bad
Pretty crap really
I've got into the habit of having a quick read of the basic information on an artist/album before starting to listen. I really wanted to like this album as I've, surprisingly to me, enjoyed several grunge albums on this list. This was painful though. I had to turn if off, but I persevered long past the point I usually would.
Meh
I wasn’t a huge fan of this genre of music. It was boring unfortunately.
Damn. I had high hopes for this, since I consider myself invested in the grunge movement and Seattle Sound of the early-mid '90s. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees, Mad Season, Green River, Mother Love Bone... it's a vibe, man. This irritated me within minutes of turning it on. It's just so repetitive, grating, wandering, listless. I discern no value, no momentum, no direction. It's effectively the sound of revving in neutral, of spinning your tires in a mud puddle. It's basically Sonic Youth without the irony, so it's a miss from me dog.
A cross between punk, hard rock and alternative. While a few songs hit well, it all sounds the same and seems like screaming the point across.
Couldn't get through it. Too annoying
Not my thing
Pas trop certain, c’est comme du mauvais Offspring Trop mauvais j’ai arrêté après la tune avec les ronflements
Generator, O Generator, you've done it to me again. I tell you that I don't want any metal and yet you try to sneak it through under the label of "grunge". Call it whatever you want, but this is unlistenable dreck.
I just know they hired a child to draw that album cover. The band would have certainly made a worse cover, based on how talentless they are at making music.
No
hm. tönt nöd guet. sie sind glaub funny. aber hm. ok keeeeein pman wiso dass das sött do sii. null sonn 1 sorry kei spass gha.
If it looks like shit, if it sounds like shit, it is shit.
Not going on any list of mine.
Sorry but it was totally uninteresting and boring
I enjoyed not listening to this more than I enjoyed listening to this.
Oh this has been a bad week. I think the algorithm has only one star albums left to give.
Would I listen again: no All kind of blurred into one. I don’t think i’m a fan of grunge
Omg more MEN WHO CAN'T SING
Didn't catch my attention once

I wasn't really a big fan of this album at all. It all seemed a bit sludged together with nothing really standing out at all. I personally found all of these tracks very forgettable, with nothing to them. I think it's always a tell-tale sign of an album not being great when you're constantly checking the tracklist to see how many more songs you have to sit through until the end. Instrumentally, it's okay, and vocally, it's not awful, but the whole thing just seems a bit boring to me, like something you'd have on in the background as just sort of noise. There were no real standouts to me in this album, as they were all fairly forgettable to me, unfortunately.
Boring
Just a few days ago I received a Mudhoney album, and in the review I said "Noises with smell of cocaine." Well, it's the same here, but this time they drank a lot before recording.
Generally, Mudhoney has always struck me as a band known entirely for being around at the same time as other, better, much more successful bands and subsequently drifting entirely off that recognition. And good for them!
Suht epämiellyttävää musiikkia, lauluäänikin on sellainen että ihan kuin olisi kaktus perseessä.
Ei tämmöstä räminää jaksaisi millään kuunnella. Omaan korvaan kauheeta paskaa.
Well, this was dull as dishwater.
Same review I gave their first album: Nothing for me here. I can hear where Nirvana came from more than any of the other of the grunge bands to follow in Mudhoney’s footsteps. 1 star
Not sure what it was with this album, but barely found anything I enjoyed. The tracks were quite similar, but not insanely so. Everything just felt like a really big shrug. Everything from guitar playing, tone, mix, to singing felt very subpar, and not very polished. Very forgettable album, and that is probably what brings it down from a 2 to a 1 for me.
What is new here that wasn’t done in the late 70s? Oh it’s by the hipsters choice grunge band going against the grain. Wow such a mind-blowing statement. The album cover is the best part. You could tell me this was your buddy’s local band and I wouldn’t be surprised. Rating: 1.5
I do not like grunge!
Мутный гранж какой-то, не мое вообще
1.5 ehh
Okay nu endte vi så i en genre der ikke er så meget mig. Jeg har forsøgt at lytte åbent. For det meste bliver det bare en omgang garageband-guitar-hero larm for mig :)) men jeg forstår appellen i guess
Besser als Nirvana
Unbrauchbar
This is awful
If this is regarded as the birth of Grunge then I wish they had practiced some form of contraception. 1/5 21/1/26
Nah
This shit sounds like it should be called generic ass grunge sounds 91’.
1. genocide - 0 2. zlide -0 3. good - 0 4. clear - 0 5. thorn - 1 6. drink - 0 7. Hands - 1 8. Now -0 9. Move -0 10. moon - 0 11. gun - 0 12. around - 1 13. fade - 0 14. time - 0
Is there anything in the world of music worse than grunge? Nope.
Thought i was in for my kind of punk but did not dig it.
No me ha entrado
The droning vocals, muddy instrumentals, and sound that really can't be picked out from one another? What's !not to like?
This was unpleasant
Every good boy deserves to not have to listen to this album
277/1089 - This is like Sonic Youth without any of the redeeming qualities.
Non il mio genere,. decisamente
Sounds like a garage band
I recommend skipping this one. Attempted to cross into a number of genres and there are many bands in these genres that override what was essentially a lot of noise.
I hope this is the right place to submit an IT ticket? Anyway, love this whole 1001 album generator thing and everything has been going great until today. My “album” was something called “every good boy deserves fudge” by a band called Mudhoney. At first, I was suspicious, given the artwork looks like it was done by a middle schooler, but I gave it a listen. As suspected, it appears like these crafty kids have hacked into your system, and uploaded a recording of one of their garage band rehearsals, replacing your real album. You can tell from the very beginning when you hear them warming up. All of the songs are screamed over instruments that have just been learned, based on the basic notes and melodies that repeat over and over. For a minute, I thought it might be post-punk music, but nope, it’s clearly pre-teens. But, good news! They may not have been fully successful in their hack, because it looks like one song from the real album, into the drink, is still there. They missed that one but I think they got all the rest. Please take a look and reset the servers or whatever you have to do. Just send a reply when everything is up and running again. Hope this info helps. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to tomorrow’s album. Thanks!
This one brought me back to my highschool days when we would go to the battle of the bands and rocked out! Great times! Lots of Metallica, Guns n Roses, and Iron Maiden covers. The rare Rush song the brave kids who had crazy chops would give a go, i remember my friend doing Tom Sawyer, he rocked it! Well, maybe not rocked it, but Neil Peart would have approved of the effort for sure, looking back I'm still crazy impressed ...anyway... of course there were also the original songs, teenage angst expressed through poorly conceived riffs and even worse lyrics. Some weren't terrible, none were very good, but back in they day each was freaking rad as hell to 15 year old me. Mudhoney brought me back to those good old days, and as bad as my buddies were, Mudhoney is worse. They may have influenced the birth of one of my favorite genres, and I thank them for that, but there is nothing good on this album. The writing is barely on par with the average high-school kid and in that spirit I give this album a gold star! A single, yet very special, gold star they can display on their refrigerator along with the cover art for this record.
Grunge driven by drums, guitar and shouty snarling repetitive vocals and purposefully mediocre production quality.
hopefully they invested whatever little money they made 1/5
I did not enjoy even one second of this
De eerdere plaat van Mudhoney kregen we al voor ons kiezen. Dat was vooral veel vals geschreeuw en ontving van mij 1 ster en de vraag wat dit album nu toevoegde. Vandaag dus een plaat om tegen aan te hikken... Ten opzichte van die eerdere ramp valt dit heel erg mee. Het is niet per se een schreeuwplaat meer, men probeert warempel muziek te maken. Wel met de nadruk op 'probeert', want man, dit is wel een erg matige kwaliteit. Dit presenteren als iets wat iedereen moet horen is een flinke middelvinger naar de muziek in het algemeen. Ok, het is iets beter dan hun eerste plaat, maar daarmee haalt het bij lange na nog geen tweede ster...
3/10 - nothing memorable, not quite hardcore punk but no rock song stands out
I don’t like anything about this album Weak songs, terrible audio quality
*I heard no music, only loud noises, screaming, squawking, and banging. Not easy listening
Schreimusik.
Nothing
Much enjoy
No no noise.
A flushing toilet makes more interesting sounds.
This was such a nothing album for me. My rating may be overly harsh, but I just finished listening and can barely remember anything I just listened to. I did have to crank the volume up to cover the sound of my carbon monoxide detector, though.
I couldn't get past the 2nd track - I may try it again if I think about it.
This just sounds like noise to me
Sounds amateur like a teen garageband. I don’t get it.
Pretty lame
Every good boy deserves to not have to listen to this pile of shit!
Þetta er mjög leiðinlegt.
I knew I was not a grunge fan, and this did not help. This is one of the rare occasions I didn’t even finish the album.
+: Good Enough, Fuzz Gun '91 +-: Generation Genocide, Something So Clear, Into the Drink -: Let It Slide, Thorn, Who You Drivin' Now?, Move Out, Shoot the Moon, Pokin' Around, Don't Fade IV, Check-Out Time --: Broken Hands 2,7/10
Bad punk. Did not enjoy. Some ok guitars at times though
unimpressive album to me, no songs really stood out, and i absolutely hated the song that started with snoring
Not for me
Just experimental loud noises that sounds like rejected sports video game music. Favorite Track: "Torn".
Have been really enjoying the grunge/punk genres recently, but cannot say I enjoyed this album at all. Some fun heavy riffs and I do like some of the musicality + how raw their sound is, but overall it felt boring and repetitive. Like some of the higher energy tracks but just doesn’t do it for me. Would be great to put on of you wanted to break some stuff but like maybe not break it too bad. Fav track: Let It Slide
Painful
Die nächste Ladung Schrott! Es reicht!
Two Mudhoney records in less than a month is two too many. Indeed two Mudhoney records in two lifetimes is two too many.
🤮🤮🤮 Noise and not in a good way.
Favourite Track: Fuzz Gun '91 Honourable Mentions: Thorn, Into The Drink Not much of a fan of this one. Even with repeated listens, this album didn't really stick with me. I'm not really much of a grunge fan in general (with the exception of Nirvana). I did enjoy the punchy drums though, but overall not my jam. Sorry!
Garage rock drivel. I see the appeal if you're someone who worships Nirvana and all things "Grunge" . A good chunk of the songs sound like they're not playing at 33 rpm.
Nope. Rien contre le grunge, mais là ça ne m'a pas du tout fait vibrer. J'ai trouvé ça long à écoute ce qui est rarement bon signe... Répétitif, ennui assuré.
More grunge than punk. Not my thing. There were pockets of good guitar sounds but didn't enjoy this
aburrido
Like listening to Virnana instead of Nirvana
I couldn't get into it. 1/5
Stopped at Broken Hands, not my thing
Jesus Christ.
Not for me.
Nah
Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge - Mudhoney (1991) ... Um dos grunges mais chatos que eu já ouvi, a gaita foi a a cereja do bolo. Melhores Músicas: Thorn, Check-Out Time Piores Músicas: Todas as outras, principalmente se tem a gaita. 1/5
Meatpuppets Mudhoney, what will they come up with next?
I want fudge :( Didn't enjoy the singing or music in this one, didn't do it for me, like pulling teeth to get through, 1* Don't fade IV made me feel physically uncomfortable. Legit couldn't wait for this to be over, I could feel the anxiety creeping.
I couldnt get into this album at all. The songs did nothing for me. I couldnt really pull out a genre and what the album was trying to do.
Very lofi and grungy. Im not really a fan.
Not for me
Really struggled to get through this.
Inte najs, gillade inte. Sista låten var den enda bra Bästa låt: Check-Out time
Same constant drum beat in most songs. Screaming voice. Made me uptight. Glad to be over with this album!!!
Not my kind of jam. A lot of noise and screaming, more melody and musicality, please.
grateful for what they did for grunge but I didn't enjoy that album
I’m glad I listened to it, but would be happy to never hear it again.
Definitely not my kind of music.
DNF. Has not worn well.
