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.
Ass
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 💩 💩💩💩🕴🏻
No
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
Nah
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
WTF
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.

Weird electronic music. Not into it.
It's really not my style...
