Cut

boy do I hate this cover of heard it through the grapevine, but I do appreciate it. I know its antithetical to punk music but I really just only enjoy listening to a more polished sound. not terrible but not my thing. best track: instant hit

Kedelig 70’er punk, mangler energi, måske indflydelsesrigt

Noise

Really had to fight to listen to this from front to back. Nothing here for me; the weird punk/raggea/ska vibes do not mix an match for me.

patético simulacro de reggae. inescuchable.

punk with unbearable vocals

So far I like the cover art more than the music...

Listening to this whole album was an exercise in patience I won’t repeat

It has an impressive reputation as a landmark album, but, in reality, its pretty shit.

garbage.

This fucken sucks, only good thing about this band is the name.

The Slits are listed as post punk/reggae.... Oh no. 3 guesses as to why an all female band would be called The Slits.... This was really just noise. Uninspired, jangly horseshit. I don't know what the singer is doing with her voice when she does that warbly twittering, but she sounds like that gangly Russian dick from Vitas when he's singing that song The 7th Element. I think they glued a speaker to the fucking hi-hat for the song Spend, Spend, Spend, because the crashing drum noises in that song in particular were deafening. I'm quickly realizing that I hate post punk. All of it is just noise. Nothing was influenced by this garbage. The only song that was listenable on this piece of shit was a cover of I Heard It Through The Grapevine. I even listened to the album twice trying to see the appeal, and all I found was a headache. Can't wait to forget this trash. Favourite songs: I Heard It Through The Grapevine.... I guess Least favourite songs: "Spend, Spend, Spend", So Tough, Newtown, Love Und Romance, Liebe and Romanze 1/5

It's bad. It is not good. I do not care if it influence other groups. I did not need to hear it. It is better than a 1 but not a 2. I will round down.

Voor dit soort bands zijn brandstapels uitgevonden.

Na Bob krijgen we ineens experimentele reggae. Brrr.

Ai. In mijn boekje is dit vals.

...nah

Grim

The Slits? Get it? "Cut". Get it?? Topless women on the cover. Got it yet? All are cheap marketing gimmicks that they had to use because they couldn't pull off punk or ska.

I wanted to like this going into it...but good lord. This was a disaster. Unlistenable vocals, mostly basic instrumentals, woof. I Heard It Through The Grapevine was the only cohesive track, because it turns out you have to actually pronounce the words in a cover

Not that good.

Is it still cultural appropriation if you suck at it?

Bad

Apparently this album is influential and that's why it is included in this list. The only thing this album influenced me to do was turn it off

Yes to the feminist sisterhood. I love how uncompromising this is and that it defined a genre and inspired others. The only problem is that it's unlistenable. Just really, really, really, really bad. Rating: 1/5 Playlist track: Typical Girls Date listened: 09/02/23

Don't let tik tok discover this, I don't want to hear it again

its been 12 hours since i listened to it and I cant remember a single song, thats how bad it was

Did not enjoy this one.

No

The only good thing about this is the album cover. Utter crap!

This was a difficult album to finish. The women in this band did not make enjoyable music. At one point they yelled like banshees which was questionable. The cover of heard it through the grapevine was putrid and insulting to Marvin Gaye. A really bad album. 1.7/10

I didn't like this album. I simply do not vibe with this at all, most of the songs just sound like noise to me and weren't enjoyable. But that seems to be the case for most old school punk albums to me. Favorite song: N/A Worst song: N/A

This is pretty terrible.

The only thing I liked was the cover….

Good if you like noise or terrible audio levels and bad vocals. Why is this in here?

Discordant and honestly, awful.

What the actual fuck is this? Random yelling and screaming instruments coming in and out, the album is so disjointed and a cluster fuck.

Silence never sounded so sweet as it did when the final track of this album ended.

Not my style.

Not my cup of tea; some tracks like nursery rhymes, some noisy. I’d never listen to it again. Poor 1, maybe a 2 because it didn’t hurt my ears.......although it was starting to !

This isn't music. this is a toddler banging on pots and pans.

This is utter rank, not sure what they were going for with this album. I'm actually quite relieved it's all over

Punk lento sin poder. Sí es muy representativo del género, por la historia de la banda y que son precursoras para el género femenino en la historia de la música, pero parece a ratos más ska o reggae que otra cosa. El paso cansino que impera en todo el disco, al menos en relación al género, es demasiado pesado. Supongo que fueron muy revolucionarias y la gente amó su música, pero a mi no me agradó en lo más mínimo.

Not a fan.

Really

Not my jam. I don’t think I’d ever listen again

yuck

Meh

Singing out of tune and cultivating an attitude like you've made no effort is SO PUNK. Oops, I am so punk I put on Bob Marley & The Wailers instead.

My initial thought when I saw the album cover was, uh oh Cannibal Holocaust! 😬 Hadn't heard of The Slits before, read a bit about them, post-punk feminism. Reckon they'd be great live (in a late night club). But this album did not resonate with me at all, doubt I'll ever listen again.

Not good

More like the shits

its like a bad mix of le Tigre and Caribbean music 1,5

Not my jam

That’s a hard no from me dawg. I would write more, but I was preoccupied with The xx from yesterday.

just not it

One ok cover, the rest is indistinguishable from noise

Sounds shit

Not my kinda thing but I can see how some would jam to this

Couldn't get through it.

Pile of dog shit

Curioso este disco, dura 2:10 y he conseguido escucharlo en 4,30', por el procedimiento de pasar a la canción siguiente cuando no me gustaba alguna. Para llegar a ser una mierda pinchada en un palo, le falta el palo.

Not a fan.

The worst so far. One continuous terrible song.

Just wasn’t for me

Punk/reggae all female learned instruments as they went A couple decent moments but not my thing

early punk, super weird. not good
