Porcupine

Ein af þessum hljómsveitum sem ég þekki nafnið á mun betur en tónlistina þeirra. Þessi plata er víst með hressilegri Íslandstengingu sem er líklegast ástæðan fyrir að ég þekki nafnið þeirra. Þeir komu til Íslands. Mér fannst ég samt oftast vera að hlusta á U2 áður en þeir fundu sándið sitt

Pretty fun. Very 80s. Clearly a talented bunch of guys, but it has a bit of that hollow, airiness that typified the decade. Flirted with the boundary of two and three stars, but ultimately I don't hold a lot of esteem for it.

VERY 80's. Not horrible.

Nope

I suppose if you are into post punk you might like this but found it a bit meandering, ok in parts 2.5*

Opet neka tužna bendovska priča. Dobra mi je the Cutter, vidjet ćemo dalje. A mislim, post punkići - to je uglavnom ili voliš ili ne voliš, meni to najviše ovisi o tome koliko cringe sviraju, koliko su kopija drugih bendova iz žanra i koliko mi vokal sjeda. Ovo mi je prolazno, ali nije da sam luda za njima. My White Devil mi ne sjeda baš, ne volim ta atonalna izdrkavanja. Ma dosadno mi ovo brate. 2/5 ili 3/10.

3/10 Inace volim post-punk ali ovo mi je na tragu neslusljivog. Kao da se netko potrudio napraviti nesto ovako neinspirativno i dosadno, bez obzira sto zanr nije bas melodican sam po sebi. Boja vokala mi nikako ne odgovara i kao da me netko namjerno zakida za muziku, iako ona svira. Zadnja stvar, Fuel mi jedina prolazi i donekle ima tragova zivota, a ostatak moze odmah u zaborav. No big deal, ima i gorih stvari ali ovo cu sutra zaboravit da postoji. I dalje bolje od Ute. Moving on.

irgendwie kommt mir die STimme bekannt vor,kann's aber nicht zuordnen; und so richtig mag der Funke/die Stimmung nicht überspringen;

Why did this all sound out of tune?

Cure lite. At best. Poppy and reflective of the era. Doesn't deserve to be on this list

Starts off ok but I was more than over it by the end.

Some songs are good, but something about this just doesn’t vibe with me. I think it’s the lead singer’s voice.

After finding the first song on this album unamusing I knew I was in for some mid. I didn't really hate it but I just couldn't find anything sticking out to me. Just the same shit over and over again :/ 2.5/5

Not my style, not enthousiastic

As tired as I am of the seemingly endless list of stream of Britpop and British post-punk bands on this list, these guys were actually alright. While I couldn’t really discern for you the differences between this singer’s voice and the voices of all the other bands in the aforementioned genres, this guy’s was among the least annoying. As with other bands of this era and genre, they weren’t nearly as clever as they thought they were. It was entertaining at times but sometimes it just felt obvious and ego-driven, self-indulgent. I honestly couldn’t tell you the difference between a lot of these bands and I’m at the point now where I feel like I have a firm enough grasp of the genre that I really wouldn’t mind never hearing it again. But it’s a long list… Two stars. Standout Tracks: My White Devil, Heads Will Roll, Ripeness

Noise, new wave, lack of hooks

Neo-psicodelia. No me ha gustado. Rollo. Un 2.

Never liked these guys much. Odd, considering I liked other bands from that era that had a similar sound… U2, Icehouse, The Smiths, to name a few. Maybe these guys are too soft and cuddly for my taste… like a gaggle of “cool” high school girls’ gay best friend. Back in the day, I needed a harder edge to my post-punk music, and these guys were simply a boring, mainstream version of better bands.

It's like a fine indie rock CD, pleasant enough to listen to but not really exciting or noteworthy. The sound is a little dated, a little 80s, but not bad. And they're not an especially talented group - the singer's just OK and has limited range, and they don't do anything instrumentally that pushes the envelope.

Extreamly borring and dull

eh, not really into this one

Non, non NON! Ça allait si bien, on était sur une streak de bons albums! Mais, nous y voilà une fois de plus; un autre album britpop qui essaye tant bien que mal d'imiter The Cure. Tant qu'a avoir de la pop anglaise, j'aurais préféré avoir... The Great Escape, Blur - 5 Selon moi, c'est le meilleur album de Blur, et même de la Britpop Revival. C'est fun, l'instrumentation est riche, les basslines sont grooooovy et Damon Albarn se donne corps et âme vocalement.

I only listened to it once and it really didn't particularly blow me away.

Sounds like a lot of other albums on this list. Just not my kind of music. Found it uninteresting. 2/5 Probably won’t listen again

zzz... zzz...

eh

I've heard The Cutter a few times, very Beatles-inspired. The rest of the album doesn't do anything for me - it isn't pretentious, just a bit rote. Couldn't tell you anything about their previous album on the list, Crocodiles. This is music written to appeal. I prefer music with a meaning, or even music without meaning.

Not sure about this, bits I thought were quite good, but it's got that very 80s sound stamped all over it, which I'm not generally a huge fan of. Ultimately I think it's pretty forgettable. 2.5

The Cutter is a fine opener featuring a quirky Indo/Asian-inspired instrumental, though I'm not a huge fan of the ultra-fake synthed horns. Back of Love is another upbeat jam with a hopping rumble that makes use of some interesting string work; feel like this could sound better with a different mixing -- for something so propulsive, the drums and bass both sound oddly distant. Ultimately this is one that I didn't really care too much about. Its fine, but didn't get me going. Was kind of looking forward to it being over. For that, I give it a high 2.

Kind of sounded exactly like a post-punk, neo-psychadelia album that I would expect. Nothing really stood out it was kind of just another album to me. Wasn't terrible by any means but kind of boring.

I thought the album started really strong, but ran out of musical ideas by the end. The B side particularly suffers from forgettable similar-sounding songs. I also find that post-punk comes across very sharp and slightly shrill at times. The A side does have some catchy moments which were enjoyable to listen to. Top tracks: Back of Love, My White Devil

Näitä vastaavia levyjä on kymmenen tusinassa. Yksi aidosti kuunneltava biisi ja muutamia yksittäisiä hetkiä kun viihdytti. Peruspaska, vähän alle.

Tylsää all-in-all

This type of album really makes me want to stop reviewing every album I listen to here. I genuinely have no idea what to say, it was so remarkably unremarkable to me. About 15 minutes in I started to get bored and from then on I was kinda just waiting for it to end. There are other post Punk groups that do Way more for me. Fav songs: - The cutter

Not terrible, and some interesting sounds going on, but the singer is just so bad. Honestly this is a big pattern I've been noticing, where the instrumentalists are pretty much always solid (punk aside but that's punk) - but band's are often dragged down by subpar vocals. Like I would like this album more if you just stripped the vocals away.

Not bad at all, very good sounds and lyrics. 2.4/5

Second "Echo" album in two weeks - where's all the good records? Huh? - in saying that, They've done a pretty decent job. Was quite nice - sound reminded me of The Cult. I Liked The Cutter the most.

✅ This is fun, reminds me of the talking heads. Probably won't revisit much though.

Two echo & the bunnymen albums?! Already. Expecting more. You're good with the greatest hits. I listened to that instead. This project has quickly become more about reviewing the list itself than listening to the albums. The cover reminded me of the KLF's Bill Drummond's sort-of autobiography '45'. That's a great read, he was managing these guys in his own way. Looks like Iceland where he toured with them so he potentially took this photo. Seemed to have a delightful love-hate relationship with Ian & the bunny boys.

I've always loved "Lips Like Sugar" but I've never listened to an album by Echo & the Bunnymen all the way through. It is good. I like it. Probably not enough to listen to the whole album again but enough that I "liked" a couple more songs. To me, the sound was not diverse enough - the songs all began to run together a bit.

Nor certain why this has appeared on list. At time of release Echo and his bunnies were relatively big but I don’t think their fame has lasted through the years. On checking my Discogs collection it appears I have The Cutter 7” single in my collection which I’d forgotten about. Listening again I understand why I bought this but as it is the first track on this album everything else falls dramatically away. So one good single outshining every other track = 2 stars. 2/5 23/6/24

Es una onda The Smiths, pero más vocal, monótono y aburrido. Safa algo.

Not my thing but there were some enjoyable moments

Really didn’t do it for me despite nothing I can specifically point to not liking. Just not my cup of tea (2.5/5)

Not my favorite album.

Boring, 80s Brit-pop.

Really didn't love this one; it felt like it flew by without any real interesting tracks. The music is listenable but beyond that I'm not really wanting to go back and play any of the songs again. For a list of albums that you must hear in your lifetime, I don't really know if there's room for songs that are "just alright", but of course that's only my opinion. "The Cutter" was the best to my ear but even that wouldn't be a standout track on so many other albums on this list. The music wasn't necessarily "bad" but personally I would probably omit this record from the list. There's just a little bit too much of a bias towards this British late 70s to early 90s rock type of sound that if you are going to be included on this list, then it should really stand out amongst all the others.

yawn

incredibly mid guitar album 2.4

Not my style at all

Can we please get some more english new wave up in here i feel this list is lacking

The dramatic vocals ruin most of this record.

If the Cure and New Order weren’t interesting at all theyd make this

It’s the 80s, but mooody.

Echo And The Bunnymen really try to create a darker sound for this record. It’s reminiscent of their goth contemporaries like The Cure or Joy Division. However, this has more of a pop edge to it. The instrumentals are solid. The singer’s voice is a bit too whiny and can be grating at times.

Meh. I never could get into the Cure. Wait, are you telling me this isn’t the Cure, but a lesser sullen, goth-ish, British band of the 80s? Well then, I like it even less now. I’m increasingly concerned that the book this list was based on is some wank who believes Brit-pop and its ilk to be the pinnacle of recorded music and is trying to foist as much of it as he can on unsuspecting music lovers.

I was instantly drawn to the use of bagpipes in The Cutter. I thought this song sounded vibrant and intriguing. I had high hopes for the rest of the album, potentially it was going to be my highest rated new wave record. Unfortunately, nothing else came close to that calibre.

What a cool 80's pop sound. The whole album was well put together and well recorded and these guys clearly have a lot of talent, but the sound is very dated today and basically the whole album sounded like one long song -- that's how similar the sound was from track to track. Overall good, but not something I'd listen to over and over. Two stars.

Not my jam, depche mode style-ish? It's fine, just meh 3 stars

Wasn’t for me. Just blah

Ehh, I dunno, like it wasn’t bad I just didn’t really vibe.

Does anyone else hate it when you just desperately want an album to end, it seems like it is going on forever, and then you realize that you are 3-4 songs deep in the “alternative version” or “bonus tracks” on Spotify? Man, I hate that. Ok, look. I’ve learned that I’m just not a fan of “post punk” as part of this project. Just the term itself annoys me. Punk still existed and still exists. Anyway, this was better than the other Echo and the Bunnymen album (Crocodiles). It’s criminal that they gave me less than a week since the last one, though. 2/5.

Can't take that voice and don't care for the music.

This is so 80s. It is forgettable. I don’t think a single song stood out to me, which is rare. It all felt very one note. Okay it hit me - this is for the kids who loved joy division. Same camp I guess. The singer has an haunting and beautiful voice. The guitarist is also very talented, but I find the drummer extremely repetitive. Ended up liking “in bluer skies”

The first 2 tracks were ok but the rest of the record is forgettable-bordering-on-repulsive.

Ja lyssna ju på dehä skräpet...

Kannte die Scheibe/Gruppe bisher nicht. Hat mich auch nicht vom Hocker gerissen...

So totally 80s loved it!!

Neo-psicodelia. No me ha gustado. Rollo. Un 2.

4/10 - Not very interesting and his voice is quite whiny and annoying.

First song was good. The rest were not. I don’t like this trend of albums putting their best song at the start; I know it made sense back in the day, but I hate the idea that when I’m listening to an album it probably won’t get better than the very first song. 4.5/10

Too British

Tired of British Punk...................................................................................................................................................

The greatest thing about this band is their name. It's a great band name. Their sound is aligned with other bands of their time and while they perform with good enthusiasm, for me, it all becomes homogenized to a degree. It starts to sound like everything else.

Did I really need to hear this? I owned Ocean Rain on vinyl back in high school, and I recall thinking I was supposed to think it was cool (for some reason, maybe the goofy name?) and I didn't get it. While I differ from my high school self in many ways, here's something we still have in common. I don't get it.

Meh about this

I could see it growing on me, but overall not my vibe.

My favorite part of this was the title

Pretty sick of these ones

All of these blend together

Too many albums from this group. One album is enough

*shrug* 2/5

80s stuff, 3/10

as an English post-punk band, the music matches the style. not my favorite.

Band name is horrible. Hard to get over that. But then you hear it and that voice...ugh.

Enough British male bands!

Seriously, a 3rd album from a band of the calibre of Echo And The Bunnymen? Are we to believe this was a Led Zeppelin grade band??? Anyway: as the band says in the album’s first song, “spare us”. Spare us from outdated music that sounded pretty meh upon release.

Forgettable apparently

Spotify wil heel graag dat ik me er een uur en 17 minuten in onderdompel, maar ik hou het lekker bij de originele 45 minuten. Ik ben net over een derde van deze lijst en ik moet heel eerlijk toegeven dat ik post-punk over het algemeen wel een beetje heb gezien nu. Het is weinig verrassend, soms een beetje vervelend. Ik ben bang dat de lijst hier heel anders over denkt, maargoed. Dit album is poprock uit een stylistisch niet al te mooie tijd. Een tijd die we inmiddels al een poos achter ons hebben gelaten ook: Van de laatste jaren 2e wereldoorlog naar 1983 is korter dan van 1983 naar 2024. Dat heeft verder niks met dit album te maken, maar m'n vorige rating van deze band was wat aan de korte kant, dus ik wil nu net wat meer gewicht in de schaal leggen. Het hoogtepunt is dat ik denk dat ik heb ontdekt dat de gitaar uit het nummer 'Porcupine' is gesampled danwel gejat is in Rendez-Vu van Basement Jaxx. Ik begin er verstand van te krijgen. Het album is te doen. Misschien begin ik inmiddels een olifantenhuid te krijgen. Richting het einde wordt het wel een vervelende zit en zakt de 3 naar een 2.

Nothing that stands out, but nothing that offends. I guess when you have 1001 albums, you'll have some that just seem very bland. Maybe there's more behind this that I don't know, but my ears just tell me it's an okay album that I won't be revisiting. Just below a 50%, because it's just nothing in it that makes me think "this is just maybe good", rather that it is not even "okay". 2/5 or 46/100.

So ein PostPunk Synthie Kram. Na ja..

I listened to it. There's worse, so not just 1 Star.

Du new wave/post punk très correct, selon moi rien d'impressionnant par rapport aux autres bands de ce style. Ça s'écoutait bien, mais vers la fin je commençais à m'en lasser. 5/10

I dont love this genre.

-It was kind of boring for me -underwhelming -I couldn't make myself listen all the way through

Ich finde das punkig/wavig. Die Stimme mag ich nicht. nichts für mich. Aber anständig produziert.

Had somewhat of a cursory listen but didn't think this was anything special

This band is another one of those bands that suffers from a bad vocalist. There are a lot of bands I like with unconventional or great singers... But their voice has a uniqueness to it that turns that negative into a positive. It adds and works for the music. This band has a bad singer and it sounds like every other band like it. A pinch of Dev-O, a pinch of The Cure, a pinch of New Order... All this new wave garbage. (Although, I do like some of the aforementioned) but this singet could not break the threshold for me. The band is pretty good. A lot of cool riffs going on. Somewhere, back there in the mix.. This era of music is my least favorite. I don't know of that's due to production quality? I act like I am well versed in production... But I know when a record sounds good. Or at least good to my ears. I will pass on this band. Nothing stuck out and I was just waiting for it to end.

Too melancholy and the melodies are pert near nonexistent. Kinda think their best song was the remake of People are Strange. Just not floating my boat.

Honestly, anytime the engineer/producer credits outnumber the musician credits on an album, you know you're in for a bad time. And it was. I don't know why every British act at the time felt like they needed to rip off Bowie, Iggy, or the Beatles, but none of them could pull it off effectively. Echo and the Bunnymen are no exception. Overly-dramatic vocals, over-produced music, and lyrics that are so overly "artistic" as to be nonsense. It's not a good time. It's just not a good time.

Not a worthy inclusion in my opinion, very little to engage with going on. The cutter is a half decent song, but most of the rest, title track especially, sound like a bad rehash. Too many 80s albums is reminding me how much I dislike much of the music from that decade!

A pretty dull album. I wouldn't really notice when songs ended and the next one started. Couldn't get interested in this one

Very forgettable, British alt rock band? I don’t like their singing style Some one off good songs

funny ass band name. wish they made more interesting music.

Nice enough

Ga meg veldig lite

Mehco and the Blahnnymen. It’s not awful, just not particularly interesting, like a dull Cure. Pretty sure I didn’t need to listen to this before I die.

another frustratingly mediocre mopey alt britpop rock ft. a Morrissey impersonator and some vaguely post-punk instrumentation. Didn't bother with any of the bonus tracks. neither great nor terrible background music as you browse a sporting good store. 1.5/5

Something about this just didn't land for me, a very low 2

Best Song: My White Devil. The best vocal performance on the album. Worst Song: Higher Hell. The canon just didn't work for me, dawg. Overall: I swear, half the 80s British music on this list sounds exactly the same. I feel as if I've heard this exact album a dozen times already, and I've long since learned that it's not for me.

Some good song writing in there, but I can't stand the 80s vocals

Not doing it for me.

I liked this album a lot better when Spotify was down.

eh

Er is iets wat dit saai maakt voor mij. Geen idee precies, maar het is voor mij een te lange zit ook.

Just four albums ago on this list I reviewed Echo And The Bunnymen's debut album and rated it with 5 stars. That led me to wonder if the quality was really so different to the fourth Echo album, which I reviewed more than 700 albums ago on this list and rated 3 stars. Was the quality really that different? Or did my tastes change in the roughly 2 years inbetween? Was it just a matter of mood while listening? This, the third Echo album and my third to review seems to hold some of the answers: not all Echo And The Bunnymen albums were made equal. Crocodiles impressed me by depth, feeling, mood, instrumentation and overall quality. Porcupine seems to be lacking in every one of these categories. What happened? How did Echo forget how to make good music between their first and third album? Do the answers lie with their second album? Will their second album show up further along this list? One question answered - more have arisen.

Bruh. Three albums from this group? What's the hook, what's the redeeming quality here that I'm unaware of? The music isn't necessarily bad but it's so nondescript. I refuse to believe that the '80s were this bland. Favorite tracks: The Cutter. Album art: Guys standing by a glacial waterfall, makes me think of Iceland. Not a bad picture at all, font is fine. Probably won't think of this one after today though. 2/5

I think I'm supposed to like Echo & the Bunnymen, but I guess this isn't the right album. Unexciting post-punk/new romantic. No real standouts for me and it kind of drags.

First two songs are really good. The rest of the album is just below average post punk rock with vocals getting progressively getting less enjoyable. It's getting a 2 stars, but 2.5 if I could.

Seemed pretty bland from what I remember. Just kinda passed me by

Funky but would not listen to it myself

Nothing too special for me

Indeed Echo sings like someone shoved a porcupine up his ass. The Bunnymen (barf!) hold up their side of the bargain with reasonable musicianship . 🐰🐰

Meh

I do like me some vaguely-gothic post-punk once in a while, but I don't get Echo & The Bunnymen. They're a diet version of The Cure that suck at song diversity. I've now heard two entire albums by these guys and the only song I remember is "The Killing Moon" off of "Ocean Rain". Everything else blends together into very middle-of-the-road goop of 80s post-punk clichés. Happy to hear that the dog from Family Guy did photography for this album as well. Oh yeah, and speaking of Porcupines, I recently learned that there are no Porcupine Tree albums on this entire list. That's gotta be a crime.

This is what, the third Echo album we're listening to? Outside of a few big songs, I don't find their stuff particularly enjoyable, and I can't help but feel they're taking up too much space on this list. I can certainly understand one or two, but not three. I found this one tedious to get through.

Another reviewer, celebrating their 365th review, lambasted the rest of us for our minimalist reviews and descriptions. My response is that if they want loquacious treatises on the merits of an album, or lack thereof, then subscribe to RS or one of the other wastes of musical publishing. My reviews are primarily for me. The best I can say for this album is that is was boring but, overall, didn't suck.

I've been listening to it for quite a while, and suddenly - the tune started sounding familiar. I thought - well, something worthwhile after all... No. The album finished and the radio played Joy Division.

Pretty boring all around. 3/10

Just a worse version of The Cure

Sadly I found it dull and monotonous

David Bowie gekruist met U2, maar dan met een chromosoompje minder. Jaren-tachtiggejengel waar ik mijn kostbare tijd verder niet aan zal verspillen.

Als je een typisch jaren '80 band bent en de zang laat inspireren door U2, dan krijg je dit. Probleem is wel dat dat je dan vergeleken gaat worden met U2. En tja...dat verlies je.

This album makes me worry that I really am that old. If my rating is less than 3 then maybe I'm not. Holy mid-life crisis Batman!

Although I'm a fan of British post punk, Echo and the Bunnymen (dumb name) just doesn't resonate with me. Ian McCulloch has a powerful booming voice, but his singing style sounds quaintly dated now. I think The Killing Moon from their debut was their best song and they weren't able to replicate that in their subsequent efforts. Overall, this is a poor man's Cure.

Ei kyl oikein lähe. Jotenkin mikään biisi ei vedä mukaansa, vaikka ihan hyvää soittoa.

Meh

A bit disappointed honestly. Other Bunnymen albums just stick with me more...

I have to work really hard to enjoy 80's English post-punk, and my motivation to give the benefit of the doubt is killed when the first and most popular (according to Spotify) track repeatedly rhymes "cutter" with "cut the." Stupid thing to hone in on, I know, but it bugs me, and at this point if it bugs me, I'm out. Best track: Gods Will Be Gods

Meh

fav songs: back of love tedious, gloomy, british 10/100

Very lazy rhymes, Every single time, And then out comes the echo (echo) And then out comes the echo (echo). Did not enjoy. Stopped at Fuel because I assumed that was where it originally ended, and this album did not need expanding.

Pós punk, new wave.. vou falar o que? Já disse em baixo, não gosto. Esse tem mais presença de guitarra pelo menos, mas mesmo assim, essa sonoridade não me desce.

Not interested

Boring

I'm vaguely aware of the artist, but I don't think I recognize any of these tracks by name. I feel like what little I have heard from this group I don't like, but as I mentioned, it's vague. Yeah, my instinct was correct: I don't like this. In addition, it all kind of blurs together.

Very generic, underwhelming, repetitive and kinda of a cure/bauhaus knockoff. It was bad. I couldn't really finish it.

Did not like it.

Tried and gave up

Echo and the bunnymen was the worst concert I've ever been to hands down. Not only did they make us wait for an hour and a half maybe more but the crowd was terrible and a gross obnoxious drunk man spilled a beer on my friend and another was creepily following us around which we told the obnoxious man about and he threatened to beat the other man up. I'm not over it and I never want to listen to them again except if I watch Donnie Darko again :/

Not a fan of the Bunnies (…..the Bunnies….). My ears kept switching off (…..switching off……)

Just hooting and hollering

Couldn't make myself listen

Dad music for Gareth’s

i'm unhappy listening to this!!!!!!!! this is boring! i'm restless! bye!

The Cutter

Bland Division

Weird Af Don't really like

This is bad

One big steaming pile of shit! I made it to the start of side 2, and I had to force myself to wait that long, before I couldn't take it anymore. Every track was just monotonous and tuneless to me.

So I gave this album two chances. One in the morning and one in the evening. And I disliked the album on both listening events. The biggest turn off was the lead singer. His vocals were all over the place. It’s the sort of music I’d imagine people listening to in 6th form or start of Uni to be edgy. Some of the guitar interludes were decent. But the arty aspect of the album really put me off. On Gods will be Gods they used what sounded like an echo machine - on both the vocals and drums. Maybe they were going after that ethereal style - but quickly became my audio hell. This was followed by UFO sounds and the Warbling of the lead singer. Honestly the best part of the song was it randomly cutting off at the end mid sentence. Honestly my horror when I thought I’d finished with the album to see they had recorded a B side of 6 of the album songs. 1/5 really not a fan. Not looking forward to hearing another echo and bunny man album.

Absolutely not.

This is the 151st album I’m rating. I don't know what this shit is and frankly I'm not expecting anything good because I saw the words post and punk on the Wikipedia page. Adding to my Playlist - The Cutter, Back of Love, and Heads will Roll. Not Adding to my Playlist - My White Devil, Clay, Porcupine, Ripeness, Higher Hell, Gods will be Gods, and In Bluer Skies. The Cutter- Nevermind. Post-punk is kinda good. All in all I liked 3/10 songs. Literally the best post-punk album I've ever listened to.

The only part of this album I got any enjoyment from was the 10 seconds of fast guitar strumming on Gods Will Be Gods.

begon goed... maar verzakte rap in het moeras van gezwollen zang en steeds dezelfde riffjes...

Not my thing. Heads Will Roll was solid though.

I did not like this at all. Boring and nothing unique.

You know the albums getting worse when the volume on streaming services randomly decreases. I've never been so disappointed. The first song was pretty good and the second song was honestly great. What happened after that? It's just so bland, kind of annoying. It feels like I've been listening to the same song on loop and I still can't pick up any melody.

Mahtipontinen brittiläispunkki(ko?) bändi. Loppupeleissä kummallinen albumi enkä tiedä miksi tällä listalla

Masse gauling. Stemmen hans er typisk britisk åttitalls melodrama, og jeg blir sliten av å høre på han i lengden. The Cutter har små doser av gode melodier og interessante ideer, men albumet var ellers travelt, ensformig og banalt. Jeg visualiserer Porcupine som en tung blokk med kjip postpønk og stinkende hårspray.

Uninteresting. Not caught me at all. Least favourite yet.

This is type of music (post-punk, new wave...) does not hit me at all. Sounds are metallic and dull. Singing is just whining once again. No points.

Okay. I was actually waiting to hear this one, I've been hearing so much about them as long as I can remember, but never checked them out. Clearly I can't stand this new wave post-punk shit, it's getting on my nerves and the fucking wailing in annoying as all hell.

Tietoisia päätöksiä tarttuvuutta ja biisimäisyyttä vastaan.

Couldn’t get into it

Porcupine by Echo and the Bunnymen is a post-punk album infused with psychedelic elements, two genres I'm not particularly fond of—especially psychedelia, which I struggle to listen to for extended periods. That aside, the album itself feels slow and draged on.It might appeal to fans of post-punk and psychedelic music if they can tolerate its slow pacing and Ian McCulloch's distinctive voice for an hour straight. Overall -1.5/5

This isn't a 1-star album, it's a 3-star by my usual standards. However, as with so many artists in this book, there is no way that Echo & The Bunny men are deserving of 3 albums on here. Ocean Rain is a fantastic album, and deserves it's place. Porcupine and Crocodiles do not, so they get 1-star from me. Great album cover though!

Fica mais chato ainda por esperar alguma música que já escutei no rádio e nada. Mais um disco dispensável para mim.

Porcupine is deeply 80s new wave/post punk in a way I've desperately disliked forever. It's just miserable really, doesn't do anything better than punk did, doesn't lead to anything particularly memorable at the end of that era, and mostly defined a time that was quite forgettable anyway. I'm glad Ian Broudie moved on from producing rubbish like this and did the Lightning Seeds, at least they were fun.

80s shit

Too arty !

Every New Age/post-punk singer sounds identical and is using the same off-key vibrato. I'm sure when it came out all the kids went gaga for it, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

Affirmation that I do not enjoy music from the 80s.

Same as Ocean Rain. Not into Echo or his Bunnymen. A definite automatic 1 star.

Whining vocals from the 80s. Hated it then, worse now

So much sad old britrock in this book. It’s just not good

Don't know about this one

I did not like this and found it very difficult to pick a standout track. I do not like the guy's voice, I do not like the instrumentation, I do not like the energy of the songs. Standout Track: The Cutter

Another stupid brit-pop album that I was sure I would hate before I even listened. Not so fast though, the first song "The Cutter" came on and I actually liked it! Then the very next song "Back of Love" came on and I came back to earth. Awful. Third song, more awful. Fourth, terrible. And so on. So on the plus side, my instincts are correct, and on the minus side, this album is garbage. Half a star for "The Cutter" so 1.5 stars

Not for me, it's like the same song over and over again.

Forgettable british trash

Fuck this 1

Easily the worst thing that has happened to me this week.

YHDYSVALTAIN presidentti Joe Biden saapuu Suomeen jo 12. heinäkuuta, Valkoinen talo tiedottaa. Bidenin on määrä tavata tasavallan presidentti Sauli Niinistö ja pohjoismaalaisia johtajia 13. heinäkuuta. Tasavallan presidentin kanslia tiedotti heinäkuun alussa, että Niinistö isännöi Pohjoismaiden ja Yhdysvaltojen huippukokousta Helsingissä. Ennen Pohjoismaat-Yhdysvallat-huippukokouksen alkua Niinistön ohjelmassa on kahdenvälinen tapaaminen Bidenin kanssa. (homoja) porcupine

A perfect soundtrack to be buried to
