Reviews (page 7 of 7)

Als ik beter had geluisterd, had dit gejengel me waarschijnlijk flink geirriteerd.

Dit ging volledig aan me voorbij

A lot of this is immediately forgettable…

Nerviges Geseusel, ganz coole Beats hier und da, aber alles sehr ähnlich. Kann ich nix mit anfangen.

Listened twice now. Not for me.

First time of listening to this, a little to Ambient/Ethereal for my basic Rock 'n' Roll tastes I am afraid, can see why people like it but unfortunately not in my collection!

Production sounds nice, but it is pretty boring music even after listening to it for a few times.

Yeah annoying to me.

i've tried this album before, it's not really gone down any better this time round. its a bit wacky innit.

Interesting album, unique, but not one I’m likely to revisit

Very ambient, not for me

Just another 40mins of overproduced breathy vocals and nice wee clicks and noises here and there. Ever track indistinguishable from the one before and overall I’m left feeling nothing.

This was pretty weird.

Didn't like anything here. Could have died without listening.

för knepigt för mig men inte helt urkasst

Annoying.

Keine schlechte Musik. Artifiziell ist es aber

This just washed over me. It sounds more like a film score rather than music to actually listen to. Weird ethereal voice effect.

No songs which could pull me into the style/ vibe that was given out

got stale very quickly

Interesting, but not for me.

Of all time? A work of repetition and consistency, but borders on monotony.

Man, I like twigs - maybe based solely on that one Apple commercial - but there's only one song on this one that I get into - Two Weeks. The rest feel like songs that never start and I get real frustrated with it.

Not too bothered

Interesting but overall not something I'd go back too.

I liked it when it came out, now all the tracks sound the same.

"Two Weeks" Released: 24 June 2014 "Pendulum" Released: 29 July 2014 "Video Girl" Released: 13 October 2014

no clue what I just listened to, left no impression

Not for me.

Ok I guess

Weird. I only liked 2 songs.

Första jag verkligen inte gillar. Nej, sån här artsymusim gör inget intryck på mig. Känns skönt att ha lyssnat klart. Inte direkt DÅLIGT men verkligen inget för mig.

Some interesting parts, though I forgot what I was going to say

Ich habe dieses Album emotionslos durchgehört, der vibe resonatet nicht bei mir. Möglicherweise würde es helfen, dabei druff zu sein.

Pretty mediocre. Nothing special here

interesting album based on insecurities. Very relevant in style and topic for the release year. The only issue, will this album be timeless? Unlikely.

Not bad if stuck in an elevator for 1h

kevyttä taustamusaa

Interesting, but not really my vibe.

Really gave it a shot … but this is just godawful atrocious breathy panting / singing. She has a great voice, but wow this is not my kind of music 1.5

nah. Just awful

Day914 - we already had a kate bush album and don’t need another worse one

Just not my cuppa tea.

what the hel

Very odd album. There was barely anything for me to latch onto. I didn’t enjoy this one.

Painfully tedious. Each song is a combination of high pitched breathy vocals layered on top of broken electro beats. It gets really annoying, really quickly. Hipster rubbish for 17 year old girls.

I got Bjorked!

Sigh - breathy vocals, reverb heavy, trap-style drums. Not for me. Let's try to be critical - it's like Kate Bush with no oomph and crap trap beats. Oh jeez it just doesn't stop. Numbers starts interesting... it's probably the least painful track so far Best track - Numbers 1 or 2 stars - stuttering, painful, over produced. Okay a 1 for the horrible drum in Video Girl which is like water torture or someone tapping on the inside of my skull.

intresting, prolly good, i js cant lisn 2 this. not my taste at all.

musica horrible, contenido lirico pobre un album que deberia estar en una lista de los discos que nunca deberias escuchar ni aunque te paguen por ello.

Not for me

I didn’t get this album at all. While listening I felt bored, confused, and kind of drained. I still don’t understand why it’s considered such a big deal or how it ended up on so many “best of” lists. It’s not really R&B to me. It sounds more like tired, suicidal teenager dubstep mixed with artsy experimental electronic stuff. The whole record is boring, dull, and extremely repetitive. The songs bleed into each other with almost no variation. Starting an album with lyrics like “I love another one, that’s why I hate myself” (or whatever that miserable shit was) immediately tells you what kind of vibe you’re in for. I’ll give some points to the production — it’s atmospheric and well-made in a technical sense. But that can’t save how empty and annoying the actual music feels. No memorable songs, no real hooks, just a lot of whispering, moaning, and gloomy beats. Very bad album for me. One of the most overrated records of the 2010s.

The songs are pretty much just nothing. Its light airy music with breathy empty singing. Repetitive too. Best song: Kicks

A bunch of noise interspaced with grunts and moans. Pure shit.

Ummmmm. All the songs seemed the same

Una falopeada tremenda. No se quien es, no la conocía. Escuché 3 o 4 temas y me pareció un divage. Como cuando un artista indie está aprendiendo a usar el ableton y toca todos los efectos. Horrible.

thank god i didnt play this in the car for others

Very pop and just found it boring

this sounds like terrible AI slop

Yeah that wasn’t interesting at all. Won’t be back to re-visit this.

Not my cup of tea.

very ethereal sounding. not my taste sounds like the soundtrack to an edgy anime.

Whether I'd select it later for listening pleasure is highly debateable I found it warmed up around track 3 but overall it's one for the critics to drool over

Irritating, strung out and vapid. Terrible

Maybe if it wasn’t the same vocal over all the music. I had to DNF for my sanity.

Honestly? Just... bad. It felt really experimental in ways that did not make the songs better. Maybe it just wasn't for me, but it felt like the album was really conceited.

Un-melodic and hard to listen to. And on top of that, she tries the tired, breathy, "sexy" vocals. Always seems to be the refuge of someone without enough talent to actually sing like she means what she's singing. Holy crap I hated this one.

The happiest moment of my day today, was when my ear buds died in the middle of this album!

Trifft leider gar nicht meinen Geschmack.

This was god-aweful, and I dint even believe in god(s).

No private session used for Spotify. High pitched woman singing over electronic slop. Pointless and annoying.

Wow is this boring and repetitive. Did not enjoy at all

FKA Twigs releases their first album as FKA Twigs, meaning that they are CKA FKA Twigs. to co-opt (blatantly plagiarize) a Mitch Hedberg bit, she is FKA CKA FKA Twigz, she still is, but she used to to. This record killed my locomotive-esque momentum through the twisted view of the musical canon known as 1001 albums you gotta uhh *BURP* read about. It was a Thursday morn. I saw this cover, remembered that I was lazy and avoidant, and well, lazily avoided listening to this. It is now Tuesday of the following week, and the dear site moderators deactivated my journey. Just like that, you cut off me, musical Frodo on his unlikely journey to Mordor (Bono's estate, masked, armed). Well musical Frodo™ (talk to my attorney, Tolkien estate) is back on the trail to slay (endure aurally) another sadistic, barbaric orc (horrible record) for the purpose of returning the one true ring to the fires of Mt. Doom (completionism). Stop writing gibberish? Review the record?? Nobody noticed or cared that you were gone??? Fine. This is truly one of the worst things I've ever heard. Much like Dave Meltzer doling out extra stars to wrestling bouts that occur in the Tokyo Dome, you can count on the authors of this book/site to needlessly praise a bevvy of putrescent refuse emanating from the British Isles. May this forever be drowned out by the ear-splitting foghorn of a medical waste barge traversing the English Channel. 0 HIGHLIGHTS: the guy currently going by Twigs is a hobo behind Lawton's up on Larry U. Good luck getting the name back now.

Echt niet vet, veel te modern en niet mijn ding

I couldn't even make it all the way through. After this many loser albums in a row, if the next album is 40 minutes of listening to cows getting milked, I would probably give it a 5.

What is this shit?

I really don't like this the instruments and vocals just don't match in my opinion

Someone made the conscious choice to publish this album and 110 million inbred kentukians seemed to listen to it, If you have faith that the human race is on the up, this album will starkly show you otherwise

Not for me

Album 990 of 1089 LP1 - FKA twigs (2014) Rating : 1.5 / 5 I went into this expecting something closer to pop, but it quickly became clear that the electronica side of things dominates - with a bit of a shoegaze or atmospheric feel mixed in as well. Either way, it just never connected with me. I can hear the intent and understand why this album is praised by many. There’s a lot of mood here, a lot of texture, and clearly a very deliberate artistic vision. That said, it’s not the kind of music that gives me much to grab onto. The songs drift more than they move, and the electronic elements tend to take over rather than support anything melodic that might pull me in. This feels like one of those albums that really clicks if you’re tuned into its wavelength - and if you are, I can see it being a rewarding listen. I just wasn’t on that frequency. Respect for the craft and the following it has earned, but it’s not something I’d come back to.

What’s the point of that?

Sound effects and boring breathy falsetto vocals that did not result in a pleasant listening experience

Not for me what the

Holy shit this is terrible!

I plead with this list to include more electronic, synth, and pop related artists and you give me this junk? Why am I not surprised that it is another album that did not sell well, by an English artist that was nominated for things but didn't win anything and so of course you foist her upon us. Such a ridiculous English bias upon this list. If this had been recorded by anyone that did not have English citizenship, there is no way that it ends up on this list.

This is my shit.

3/10 That was annoying

inte alls min smak.

I've heard of FKA Twigs before, though I'm not sure how. It's difficult to get a read on what kind of album this'll be from the cover, though it reminds me of that Mac Miller album with the stupid fuckin balloon head artwork, so I'm hedging my bets on hip-hop. Oh, this kind of music. Is it electronic? I'm not sure. Anyways, this album sucks ginormo dick. There's some merit to the atmospheric, downtempo instrumentals, though they're betrayed greatly by FKA Twigs' incredibly shitty vocals. Those high notes do not hit at all, which is especially dire when 90% of this album is comprised of said high notes in question. The heavy production and effects which are added on top of the shit vocals go a long way in making them demonstrably worse, too. The same can be said about instrumentals, really. There's so much mastering and needless shit smeared on top of this album to where my mind ends up filtering out all of it. I'm a big fan of interpreting how an album's sound is captured within the album art, and this album is one of the better offerings of late. It's artificial and butt ugly. "Lights On" has a nice ambience on the better parts of the track, though the more jittery and discordant moments lose me. Those vocals are also pretty abominable. The rest of the album kind of grinds along, never culminating into anything remotely satisfying. Book time. One of my legally-obtained copies of this book fortunately contains this album within it's pages. Let's see. Musings about being a mutt musician. Unique. Critically acclaimed. That's it, really. Wikipedia consolidates the critical acclaim and reveals that this album charted decently. I mean, the critical backing is there and there's an undeniable level of risk which is exhibited on this album, so I dunno. I begrudgingly cosign this inclusion.

What the fuck. Wish I could give 0 stars

I just didn't get this

Not for me

I enjoy her voice but this is not interesting or memorable in any way.

Some of the music inside this album is interesting, but it consists of hardly formed ideas and doesn't develop enough to warrant song lengths over a minute. The lyrics are embarrassing. It's hard to believe she wrote those out, re-read them twice and gave them the OK. Finally, FKA Twigs falls into the same old intolerable trap that almost every other post-2010 artist falls into. Namely, a endlessly repetitive chorus consisting of almost no melody and ridiculous lyrics. 1.0/5.0: Embarrassing

who knew sid the sloth made terrible avant garde pop? i certainly didnt and i wish i could go back to how life was before i did. the worst part is that is my 500th album and i couldnt be more disappointed with the choice.

Ambient music with some squeaky vocals layered on top. I failed to engage with this in any way. 1/5.

Way too experimental for my tastes. She seems to not be sure if she wants to be ambient, electronic, or some experimental pop. There was moments where it started to feel like something was happening, but then no. Just a bunch of broken pieces jammed together in a haphazard mess.

Mostly weird, but not in a way I enjoy. Kinda cool beats sometimes, kinda cool vocals sometimes, but never together. Meh.

I can listen to most anything, this project has shown that, but this just didn't do anything for me beyond guttural repulsion. It's just noises, random unconnected noises. I'd take a double album of Yoko Ono screaming endlessly over this as at least that has a deeper meaning

"Look at me I'm so quirky and different!" holy fucking shit terrible album.

I don’t get it. There are parts of the songs that are ok…..even promising. Then weird sounds start and the voice modulation is too much.

I don’t know what this was.

This is honestly awful.

This one didn’t land with me.

Not sure if even a NIN remix would help this one. It’s also a shame because she does have a beautiful voice.

The project is very experimental. But just not my kind. Can understand the appeal for some listeners but just not what i typically listen to or like in an album.

If you've ever wondered what it would sound like if Kate Bush had warbled over hip/hop beats, it's this. This is not a compliment.

Meh. Too experimental for me.

So being fucking weird and psychotic is art because "look at me I'm so edgy"? This is truly garbage. 1/5

1+ Stars (3/15)

At first I just thought this was pointless. Not enjoyable, but maybe just not my thing. By the third song, it had become annoying and I had other things to do with my Sunday that didn’t involve listening to this. I never got back to finishing it. I have no regrets about this.

Don't know what this is going for, but I don't like the final product. Seems like a collection of sounds loosely going for some interpretive music statement. Not good.

Not a fan. Weird music, whispered falsetto vocals. Would not recommend.

Not for me. Seems like music for lonely chicks.

Slow beats and breathy soprano does not a good album make. Only 40 mins and still way too long

I could only get thru 5 songs. This broad put me in a bad mood

Lame ass album

This albums feels so repetitive and uninteresting, being boring in every and each song. Electronic music can be much more creative than what this album is, being an endless and tasteless atmospheric-based collection of songs.

FKA-WTF? I would take any SD album over this….

Absolute gobshite. Super boring; every song sounded the same; I became actually offended with how awful and boring this was

couldn't get into this at all

1 song: OK... 1 LP: KO

this was not hitting for me today

Kan någon berätta för mig varför jag ska höra detta album innan jag dör. Jag hade i ärlighetens namn velat dö utan att ha hört plattan.

I did not enjoy that. i liked Two weeks though

First track has got me questioning whether I will make it all the way through. Second track, 3o seconds in, and this needs to get good pretty quick or I'm turning off and giving it a 1 star. Ok, it's picked up a bit.... oh fuck, it's gone weird again. Track 3 is just as fucking bonkers. I'm really not enjoying this. She's comign across a pretentious cunt trying to be all "edgy" and "unconventional". Fuck this, I'm out. 1 star.

nope nope nope

Maybe it needs more than one listen? But I didn’t get anything from it at all to bring me back for any other listens.

I have no patience for this.

This was a bit of a sonic mess. @boopidoo, your reviews are so funny! I found the introduction to each track infinitely more interesting than the track itself.

This was terrible. Listened to a few songs and stopped. Probably one of the worst on this list. 0/5

Nope. This was borderline unlistenable at times. I can’t stand breathy singing, and this had it cranked up to 11. The drum machine was obnoxious and felt like a bad fit in most songs. I was looking forward to the album being over so I didn’t have to listen anymore. I don’t think this is a must listen for anyone, and it doesn’t need to be on this list.

Boring. Not ever needed to be on a "must listen to before you die". Not a single redeemable song on the album. None of it is going to the playlist

Vapid tripe

not for me

Wow this is bad.

terrible

Nah, no thank you. Noise.

Whatever she was going for it was nowhere near anything I'd ever want to listen to. I didn't make it through a single song.

Not gonna pretend I’m down with the kids! I try to be upbeat about most music going in on here, I have many more 5/4 star than 1/2 ratings. She can sing and writes songs so guess that meets the criteria - singer songwriter. But it’s Like a modernising, life draining, take on the concept. No I’m not down with it, it was a painfully shit listen, a horrid waste of my time. Minimising everything, on every song is just brutal, instrumentation and arrangement is crude sounds, with a vocal that’s spent/wasted to create the unsettling ambience, that if it’s your thing then fine, but I had to force myself not to hit the stop button, continually. 1 Star, accept that I am definitely not the target audience, but this was my listen today and after doing so I wish I had not, so I am entitled/forced to write in this box, and the only positive was it reaffirms my old sod stance that modern music is an absolute steaming pile of dog shit, don’t care how many plays this gets (while it’s still supposedly valid) , I’m just sorry I stepped in this and added my 1 play to it.

Not only was this boring but also a waste of my time. Sure it was very different from what I have heard before and for that I can respect, but the autotune electric elements do not excite or thrill me. I truly can’t decide between a 1/2 because although something I wouldn’t listen to, it’s different from things I’ve heard. However, I really can’t think of one truly good aspect so I guess there’s my answer…

For a moment I was reminded of a band called Rosewater Elizabeth from the 90s that I liked, but I couldn’t play any song to the end here. Boring.

Terrible

No words

No thanks. Nothing that I would listen to again.

Tried listening but just not really my thing

LP1 is less an album and more an elaborate test of patience. FKA twigs has a voice, sure, but she seems determined to bury it under a heap of glitchy, overproduced sound effects and falsetto acrobatics that quickly wear thin. Each track meanders aimlessly, like a dubstep song stuck in first gear, never delivering any kind of payoff. It’s music that desperately wants to feel profound but ends up feeling like you accidentally wandered into someone’s experimental college art project. The production is sterile and overwrought, stripping away any chance of emotional connection. The lyrics—if you can even call them that—are little more than breathy, disconnected fragments that float over a backdrop of beats that can’t decide if they’re coming or going. It’s like listening to an overambitious student composer throwing every effect they can find into the mix, hoping it will somehow stick together. Spoiler: it doesn’t. Artists like Kate Bush or Tori Amos could pull off eccentricity with charm and coherence, but LP1 feels more like a random collection of noise that never even tries to hit that mark. Occasionally, the album flirts with something resembling an interesting idea, but it always fizzles out before it can go anywhere. It’s not just unmemorable—it actively defies you to care about it. For an album hailed as a critical darling, LP1 is an exhausting slog of pretentious production and lifeless performances. I didn’t just dislike this album—I actively hated it. Listening to it wasn’t an experience; it was a chore. One star—for at least knowing how to hit record.

I hated this. Probably interesting if you like music completely different than the music I like so I can see why it's here. But for me it's a 0.

Bad, didn’t finish listening to it. Didn’t like it at all. She feels like a creep.

Whispery, mumble-lyrics, with maybe one word in ten actually clear enough to hear. Which is fine with me, as I looked up some of the lyrics, and they're inane enough to not deserve hearing clearly. In the background, we have some glitchy electronic noises, pretty much the same noises throughout the entire album, no hooks and lots of annoying "tapping" sounds. The only thing this made me think of was the theme tune to the last season of Skins, which is probably a poor comparison, as that actually has a dynamic and diverse sound. Maybe the aim of this album is to invoke a feeling of low effort, minimal, sparse music? Anyway, it certainly succeeds in this aim. The "singing" is usually ignorable, but from time to time there will be a squeaky section, like the noise a small, excitable dog might make, almost painful to my ears. I actually felt drained listening to this; if I could give it zero stars I would, it's truly awful.

i hated this. i tried to get through it but i physically could not. this is not the kind of music i like at all, and i don’t think it’s objectively bad, but i fucking hated it oh my god

No disrespect but this music wasn’t for me.

Hmm.. not for me

Really could not get into this at all. Lack of melody, song structure, variation of sound. It just came of as vague. What is it? What type of music is it? I associate this sound with millennials and Gen z.

I didn't get it. Loads of bells, and whistles, and bleeps, and I don't think she has a lot of range with her voice - everything ethereal and bland and loud. Simply just not for me.

Never heard of FKA twigs and really quite disliked it. Made me question whether I understood what music was and feel old and out of touch. "I used to be with it, then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what it is seems weird and scary to me" comes to mind. I think generally I'm quite open minded when it comes to new stuff but this wasn't it

Another woman pop/ alternative singer. All sound alike.

I didn't enjoy this at all. Does nothing for me.

Don't judge a book by its cover. But do judge an album by its cover. This one especially. Sounds exacly like you'd expect.

And again: no

# 318 : Can't Listen, don't like it, I'm not sure it inspired anyone, but if the music isn't good, I'm not sure I need to hear it before I die. I can't imagine getting hit by a bus and my last thought being, "But I never got to that album from FKA Twigs!".

I didn't get into this at all. Couldn't finish, but I feel bad with one star because I may have missed the bangers, but I don't feel like I will actually miss any of it.

This was a terrible album to add to this list. This has no significance whatsoever.

I just don’t like it. Electronic music just isn’t for me

Too "sexy" for me....

This is the musical equivalent of style over substance — all aesthetic, no soul. It tries desperately to be avant-garde, but ends up sounding like a pretentious mess of whispery vocals, awkward rhythms, and production that’s more interested in being “weird” than listenable. It’s as if someone took the concept of emotional depth, filtered it through a fog machine, and forgot to include an actual song. Tracks bleed into one another with little distinction, and while the album clearly wants to be groundbreaking, it often feels hollow and self-indulgent — like a fashion show with no models, just flashing lights and ambient noise. LP1 doesn’t invite you in; it keeps you at arm’s length and dares you to care. In the end, it’s less of a musical experience and more of an endurance test. If this is the future of R&B, it might be time to hit rewind.

Budget Portishead.

Some random sound from a freeware music creation tool. Sorry, that 0 is no option.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Next.

Right then, sort of a poor man's Kate Bush but without the ability to make it consumable by the masses. was my first impression. But it improved with the last few tracks. Unfortunately it was followed on my player by Bjork and I realised that she also made a far superior job of it. Can't do better than a 1.

If a complete mish mash of electronic sounds with squeaky breathy vocals is your thing then give this a go. It’s not my thing so I wish I hadn’t bothered. It screams pretentious hipsters to me!

AWFUL noise!

Did nothing for me

No thanks!

I can no longer enjoy EDM unless it’s chill and melodic. This was too chaotic

Wouldnt be in my top million. After Portishead came out all this after is meh. Slow electronica is NOT my jam.

I really hated this. It was like, they've taken the worst kind of easy listening crap and made it electronic. Don't get it at all.

I listened through once. I liked some music like this back when this came out, but this wasn't for me. I couldn't do a second listen.

FKA Twigs... She sings very well with a lot of feeling, but somehow doesn't leave me feeling anything. There are lots of interesting sounds an rhythms, but I was bored after a couple of songs. It just felt like a music student composing and performing a piece that ticks all the boxes to get a good grade.... But it don't sound good.

I hated this so much

Bro this shit is a bunch of doo doo 💩 💩💩💩🕴🏻

Inte min grej. Första låten lät lite som aphex twin men det blev snabbt ointressant.

If I was opening up a brand new H & M at a local mall and was looking for some music to play inside of it, this would be a 5. While I can appreciate the production value of the album I have no desire to listen to any of it ever again. This is white woman music and I am not a white woman. The only time I can consider ever listening to this album again is if I picked up some artsy coed and she put it on her JBL speaker while I am balls deep in her.

1/10. Next

not my thing

Horrible album cover, doesn;t even listen.

Album felt dark.

This was horrible. If I were trapped in a haunted dollhouse - this would be the soundtrack.

not for me

great voice, terrible lyrics

Waaaaaay too low key/low energy/passive for me.

This feels extremely generic to me. It got better as it went on and I can see it's value as a vibe, but I'm not sure it's distinct enough from similar pop to help me understand it's place here.

wow this was bad. not much of a discernable rhythm, it felt like more of a mish-mash of electronica and vocals than anything arranged. Maybe it sounds better on heroin.

Not my style

This is definitely not my style. Too random, too breathy, to un-focused.

Boring

Oh hell no.

An artist I knew of but don’t know. I found it quite difficult to listen to. I doubt I’ll be listening again

I did not enjoy this record at all.

Boring and easily forgettable. Half way through the second track I was waiting for the album to kick off and it never did. Very tough to get through the whole album.

At first I thought her voice was going to be like Bjork but sadly it was more like a mix between Brittney Spears and Billie Eilish. I wanted to like this but I feel like she was trying so hard to be good. The background music was fine and my favorite song was where she wasn't really singing. Didn’t enjoy 2/10

This is some of the worst shit I have ever heard in my life. Every single song was overproduced, over sexualized garbage. The beats are generic crap that play on a cheap drum machine from Walmart and even then they can’t keep a beat. Half of the sounds that aren’t electronic noise are out of tune. Her breathy voice is so fucking annoying, her tempo is dog shit, and her lyrics are horrible, like they were written by a confident teenager who thinks they have talent. I actually struggled to make it through this repetitive STD of an album. 1/10

Got what I wanted and it was awful

not my style

Ehhh not for me, I came into this project super excited to listen to FKA twigs and just was not impressed.

I had a bit of a mix up when seeing I’d been generated this album. I thought that FKA twigs was that person married to Musty Musk, but that’s Grimes. I’m not sure if I know FKA twigs, but I hope we can all agree that that is a very rubbish artist name. Seriously. FKA twigs. Are we running out of names or something? Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Two Weeks Unfortunately, I found myself getting quite bored while listening to this, leading to times when my concentration lapsed and I stopped listening completely. It didn’t exactly sound horrible, it was just dull and didn’t really engage me as a listener. Each to their own, but I don’t really feel that I gained anything from listening to this album. Certainly shan’t be rushing to listen to more by her. I mean seriously, FKA twigs?

40 minutes of super high pitched/autotuned vocals sang over some wannabe acid/ambient techno?????

I came into this album thinking I would enjoy it based off what I've heard about FKA, but man was I disappointed. The beats would be interesting if the tracks were halved, and I just didn't find anything appealing about her style of singing.

It was a rough one to get through. The follow up of Glass Animals put out into perspective and helped to understand it's place. Still, it wasn't particularly enjoyable.

Quite boring and not very memorable

1. preface - 1.5 2. lightz on - 1 3. tuuo uueekz - 1 4. hourz - 1 5. pendulum - 1.5 6. video girl - 1.5 7. numberz - 1 8. clozer - 1.5 9. give up - 1.5 10. kikz - 1

Not a away of this kind a music.

You can tell she harkens to Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Brisbane's own Kate Miller-Heidke. But there's a massive difference: they are all eccentric with high voices but the other three actually sing coherent songs. I don't know what this singer is supposed to be doing, but it isn't musical - just random noises. This is one of the worst things I've ever listened to.

Drum machine, ick

Não é pra mim.

Couldn't get through the first song.

She has a nice voice but everything else was just not good.

It felt wandering and aimless. I love off beat sounds and psychedelia, but this one isn’t it.

This is not a good album. It is very eccentric and I am not sure what she is trying to accomplish. There are parts where the music is good but then an odd decision is made it goes a completely direction. The lyrics are not good. I don't care for her voice. The album got "better" later on. I have no desire to listen to this album again or to listen to more music by this artist. It is better than a one, not really a two.

Best and still bad song: Give Up (I will now after hearing this) Bad songs and bad pop. I didn’t have to hear this. I hate the music more than the cover.

Everything I hate about modern music. Ethereal background noise, breathy vocals, other random electronic noises, filthy lyrics ("Two Weeks"), and it never gets into a groove. Ugh, how many more British electronic albums am I going to have to endure for this challenge?

ayyyy fka twigs? mwoa like FKA DIS! AYYY ugatz

Didn’t listen but maliciously voting 1 star on every electronic elevator music album

Horrible,sounded like a baby banging on a pot. No stars for me but have to give one to move on.

Bad. Lots of breathy singing and moaning to Flume-style beats. Honestly one of the first albums I considered not completing. Nevertheless, I persisted.

I don’t get it. One or two interesting sounds. Like Bjork. Why is this album on the list?

Pop of the worst sort - and I like well made Pop songs. But there is none of those to be found here. In fact, there are no real songs anywhere, as this is more a bunch of overproduced electronic arrangements on top of which the singer is trying to vocalise random words or sentences - I dare not call them lyrics. There is no real musical idea here, and nothing that speaks to or touches me in any way. This is an atrocious waste of time. 1/5

I mean, really? Whatever. Music should have songs, tunes, that sort of thing.

There was an attempt to be an "artist", I'll say that. I just found the high-pitched, soft and breathy vocals were too much of a try-hard. Felt like a very poor attempt at emulating Björk's vocal and musical style. Not good.

Just painful. I appreciate this album is weird.. but it's bad weird, like chocolate cake with mustards.

should not be on this list

I enjoyed Two Weeks, but it just sounds too modern for my taste, a lot of cacophonous beats and her voice is beautiful, so it kept jarring me throughout.

It isn’t my mysict! I didn’t like it..

Some interesting music but the lyrics weren't up to much

She definitely has a good voice but this isn’t for me at all Only got worse after I wrote this ^

Not for me.

I didn't listen to this, I endured it. I hated this so much. Thank God it wasn't long. This is so much of what I hate about pop music in recent years. I will say that her voice is not bad but she doesn't use it well at all. That makes this pile of garbage even worse

Every 2nd or 3rd song this almost broke out into actual music, but most of the time this sounded like floorboards creaking while someone whimpered in the background. Fuck off, honestly. And stop trying to feed me shit from the UK every day. 1/5.

This is rubbish

Pretentious nonsense squeaking Cover art: 3/5

I hate it. It’s just high pitch breathing. Not a word of English

ik vond het saai

Dit lokte bij mij de reactie uit die ouders met jengelende kinderen ook vaak zullen hebben: hou op met zeuren en doe die piepstem weg!

Recuerdo haber escuchado el álbum cuando salió y no haber terminado de escucharlo por los tedioso y repetitivo que me pareció. Siete años después la sensación no sólo es la misma, sino que ha empeorado. Me hace sentir que estoy atrapada en un lugar en el que no quiero estar; lleno de sopor y oscuridad. Una experiencia horrorosamente desagradable. Es un álbum que abusa de la "experimentación" y cae en lo repetitivo y confuso, sin una propuesta bien definida.
