Reviews (page 7 of 7)
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
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’.

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.
Not my thing
Not my type of music. Sounds like a random mix of sounds Fav songs: Into the drink :%
This one was somehow more boring than the last album I got
could not even get through this i’m so sorry i really tried
Truly bloody awful.
Bäh...
Meh
Gefällt mir nicht
Not for me
Not melodic repetitive screaming, which is sold here as music worth listening to.
Poor production, annoying voice, really gave me a headache.
Amusing musical reference album title, but garbage garage band calibre music.
Not for me. Grunge has never been my thing.
The worst albums are the never ending ones
Pojat ei tälle listalle kuulu.. Opetellaan soittamaan nättejö kappaleota ja loöetataan tämmöinen öyhötys..
Known Before: Standouts: 7. Broken Hands 2.5
Known Before: No Standouts: No 1.5
ai grunge..
mutaa ja hunajaa ja kaikke siitä väliltä heh.. no vähemmän hunajaa... lähinnä mutaa... pari ok biisiä ei nyt pelasta tätä, ei vanukasta enää syödä...siirrytty siitä pois...ei tarvi hävetä enään kun kaupassa käy... heh ostam vihannes ja hymyukon... heh... broken hands
Walmart Nirvana
The best rock band from your high school.
I really tried
Pretty avg punk grunge. A lot of noise but not much substance.
i really don't like this. sounds bland
Oh now this was just weird. Just constant screaming and weirdness in all aspects. Not a fan.
Middle school level infantile low-fi dogshit. How can two of this ass-sounding band's work get on this list. I never can nor will understand the theory that making something intentionally shitty is somehow a badge of individuality. 1/10 1 bag of flaming shit that when stepped on angrily looks vaguely like an exploding star.
Wow. This was a painful experience. The vocals were terrible, the songwriting was irritating, the instrumentals were too chaotic and it all went on for far too long. It was a chore to get through. What is it with all the 1 star albums lately? I genuinely didn't think a list like this could have 1 star albums, because I'd think an album would have to be good to make it on here. But in the last three days I've had 2 1 star albums. At least these guys weren't as pretentious as Elvis Costello. But other than that, I think I actually enjoyed Elvis Costello's album, which I also gave one star, more than this.
not for me
I liked "Into the Drink" well enough but probably only in comparison to the rest of it. I can't imagine ever listening to this again.
This isn't my fav. I didn't find much about to get excited about. Not really a fan!
I’m not sure how far an album can make it on the basis of the core credential “we were there a couple of weeks before Nirvana”. I am, however, pretty sure I can’t stand the low-fi sound.
This is a good example of a band that should have been taken off the 1001 list instead of The Killers. The last time The Killers played Toronto was at The Scotiabank arena. The last Mudhoney show was at Lee's Palace. There are way too many Grunge bands on this list.
Bloody awful stuff.
I’m not sure how this album is included in this list based off a first listen.
I wanted to like this, because I like a lot of adjacent music (angsty 90s grunge). But it's just not very good. It's kind of just dull garage punk, without the thin coat of polish that makes the major-label contemporaries work. Their singer also isn't that good. "Good Enough" is a nice song, but it sounds like basically a Social Distortion B-side, and there's a ton of what sound like straight classic-rock ripoffs on here.
Not my kind of music
Meh. 90s nondescript sound
Generischer, ideenloser, amerikanischer Indie-Scheiß-Rock.
First 5 seconds was boring 1 star
Not a fan of grunge
No
dumb
All mud and no honey, and sheer monotony besides; guitars are fast and scratchy, vocals screechy and howly. If the songs weren’t so uniformly noisy, the snoring effect on the penultimate cut would be even more apt. 1.2 / 1.
This shit was ass
Not a fan.
This album did nothing for me. No hooks, nothing catchy. They are the grunge version of Almost Famous. But at least they can look down on the successful Seattle bands under the guise of not having "sold out".
I have this playing in repeat in the back garden, it scares the cats and other wild animals away. My god this is awful, that’s an hour of my life that I will never get back, .i truly don’t understand how this made it on to the list, maybe it’s to show the listener just how dire bid music can get
Ik kon het aanhoren maar daar is ook alles mee gezegd. Die klagerige stemmen 😩.
Did not like.
First time listening: 2/14 songs liked For an album named after the pneumatic device for note naming, they really don't keep to their conventions. Super atonality on a wide variety of tracks, and extremely slow grunge. My god, not my thing. No songs saved.
skit!
This album was not my idea of a good time. I felt like I was grasping for straws of things to hold onto. And maybe part of it is the outsize influence this kind of music has had on terrible bar bands I've had the misfortune of playing with, but this just felt like a major slog to me. Kind of a stoner-grunge mashup. I know grunge was a major moment in the early 90s, but I'd much rather be listening to almost any other emergent contemporary music scene (shoegaze, indie, hip hop, Britpop) instead. Favourite track: "Move Out"
Dudhoney
I had an odd thought while listening to Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge: on a couple of cuts (Good Enough, Something So Clear), the band reminds me of Velvet Underground. Obviously, the two bands are from completely different genres, but the guitar strumming is straight up Lou Reed, and the drumming has the single (and simple) minded intensity of Maureen Tucker. Considering this album is considered a classic, it's disappointing. You have to wait 5 songs until you get to a solid tune like Into The Drink. Up until then, the tunes are so basic as to be borderline insulting. I mean, primitivism can be legitimate, but there are limits, at least for me. Unfortunately, Mudhoney is the sort of band that lives and dies on individual songs. They don't have the requisite musicianship to carry them through marginal material. The lead guitarist can't play a lick, and he doesn't have great ears either, so his attempts at artful noise fall flat. I actually like grunge, but this is pretty weak.
Remarkably bad. 1/10.
Meh
Probably great.... for someone who enjoys grunge.
meh no stand out songs, not really the genre for me, grunge rock but just kinda underwhelming
Boring af
