1 that all
It’s not horrible, just no connection. I never heard it before today and don’t feel that I ever need to hear it again.
With each EDM (and EDM adjacent) offering, I get more agitated. This is no fault of the good people who created this compilation (???). That said, Death In Vegas can go fuck.
I have listened to the album and couldn't pick it out of a lineup. I don't hate it, I don't love it.
Everything sounds the same on this album and as a result this just drags on and on making it seem as if it will never end. As a result, this sounds like the soundtrack to Purgatory in that it is extremely boring and undergoes very little in the way of change.
Music for an advert that sell perfume which smells like cat piss within 20 minutes of applying. But it's too late now... you're out dancing with friends. And every time you lean to speak to someone, you see their face, and you think to yourself... "are they pulling that face because I small of cat piss!?". It's gunna be a long night.
I listened to this at the gym, which was my first mistake. They had me with the first song, but it went downhill from there. Struggling to recall anything else from it now other than wanting it to end
I really didn't feel anything towards this at all, just typical 90's trite.
I don't want another ambient album. I wanna rock!
I...well...I hate this
Trying way too hard.
I appreciate that this won a mercury music prize so must be viewed as decent by a group of people. But absolutely not for me. Perhaps it could b a grower if I listened several times but I'm not prepared to do that. Not my thing at all.
Bad sorry
Two and a half minutes into track one and I am still waiting for the intro to end. I am still waiting for it to "do something interesting". I am starting to fear the "intro" is all this has got... I guess it is trying to do a Bolero-esque build... but they aren't Maurice Ravel, not even Jeff Beck. Tedious. Track two... this is tedious. Is that the concept, to bore the listeners into submission? Incredibly annoying vocals. Oh, no, it is nearly 6 minutes long! Mmm... "tedious" used about two songs in succession. That's not good. Shocking start to track 3... I am not wasting any more of my life on this. 1/5.
The only Death in Vegas song I know is Scorpio rising so I am looking forward to listening and learning more about them. The album starts with Dirge and its a great start, its dark and gloomy and builds well. I love it. Aisha was also a fun track. The rest of the album was just boring. there was nothing that grabbed you. I am shocked this made the list!! Favourite song: Dirge and Aisha are great tunes Least favourite: The rest of the album was just boring Album artwork: Cool cover
Are they running out of albums to pick? I feel like I’ve been listening to bands I’ve never heard of or just shitty music that sounds the same with each track
What the actual fuck was this... Soulless drone like music...
Nah
Pre-listening thoughts: oh boy more electronica… So excited…😔 Post/during listening thoughts: well there are some vocals and words but at what cost. That first song was a slog to get through. I just kind of feel like an impending sense of anxiety when I listen to this. Can’t explain why. 2/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: nope Fav tracks: hm… Least fav tracks: didn’t like this at all but had to shout out Death Threat, one of the most annoying songs to grace my ears
Did not like it when it came out and not today either.
Totally sucks but not unlistenable
This album really did nothing for me. Too much repetition and too many remixes.
Terrible noise
oof the album
Elektronische Musik, ziemlich langweilig
It's bad when the singer sings, and it's boring when he doesn't.
This album sucked. I stopped listening when I realized how long it was and how much all of the songs annoyed me.
Album 535 of 1001 Death In Vegas - The Contino Sessions (1999) Rating : 1.5 / 5 More electronica BS. Maybe a half point better than other from the genre I've listened to. Will suffice as background sound for a short period of time. Not much else.
Over 2 hours of boring ass weirdo shit. Not good weirdo, bad obnoxious weirdo. Do not like, do not want.
Boring. Doesn't belong on this list at all.
1 stjerne
1. dirge - 1.5 2. zoul - 1 3. death - 1 4. flying - 1 5. aizha - 0 6. lever - 1 7. aladdin - 1 8. zizter - 1 9. neptune - 1
One star from start to finish equals F-. Sounds like music for an alien invasion.
first album where i straight up skipped through the last tracks. actually so terrible i thought it would eventually pick up, but its so drab and boring, like what situation is this music made for, i truly cant imagine ever enjoying it.
Nope
Boring as hell, my god, were we just unlucky or all the album in the list are like that? It's a bad Mezzanine or Blue Lines by Massive Attack. Already a style I don't appreciate much, but this is at a new low.
Not really my type of music. Reminds me a bit of Muse
Not the kind of music that appeals to me nor has it managed to get a reaction
There is no way in hell this crap is one of the 1001 most influential albums of all time. Pure waste of time to listen to this crap. 00000/5
Repetitive. Screeching. Dark and depressing. Not a fan of this genre so its “magic” is lost on me.
altern. 1999, 1-2
Meh
This is not a good album.
Over 2 hours of mindless garbage!
Trash
I disliked this a lot. At one point I went to the bathroom during it and came back hearing a scream like sound and it was the music. It just felt like construction noise put into some ‘music’. Not impressed.
Rätisee keskitempoisesti. Mahdollisesti osoittaa arvonsa jossakin kontekstissa, mutten tiedä missä.
Interesting, but not my kind of music.
17/100 Based on this scale: 1 star - 0 to 19 2 stars - 20 to 39 3 stars - 40 to 59 4 stars - 60 to 79 5 stars - 80 to 100 This list is hellbent on proving to me that electronic music sucks. Another one of those albums that keeps making you wondering when the thing will even start. I mean, the thing starts with Dirge. At first, I thought "oh cool, a guitar!" Then the guitar went on to do nothing interesting. Man, the track was long and boring. It was all downhill from there for the next few tracks. Aisha had a few interesting moments, if you ignored Iggy Pop's stupid monologue. The tracks that came after were a bit better than the earlier tracks. Whatever points this atrocity managed to earn, it did so in the second half of the album. This is not for me at all.
The album started so strong, with ominous "Dirge", full instrumental, dark vibes, all good stuff. And then it promptly became a bunch of boring shit. Dated on arrival. Blegh. Literally me rn :| Significant 20/54 Liked 9/54 Added 2/54 nonono
What an utterly boring album. So boring that I noticed it was boring. Some albums can be dull, but subtly dull, like you haven’t realised it’s finished dull. This one was just awfully dull.
i listened to 30 minutes, it was enough, because i thought it was only 40 minutes long, turns out there’s 2 hours of this stuff, it might be good but i can’t endure it i’ll be honest,
Boring af. Absolute yawn fest
Ili dosadNo ili nije gazba..y krene uzika i ocekujes dalje a dalje nema
I'm going to be harsh here. There's an overindulgence to this album. Starting with Dirge, there shouldn't be two minutes of feedback just to prove they can extend the song to five plus, or six minutes. It's boring and disrespectful. Seven minute songs are not bad. Bring something to it for the listeners. Take a cue from Stairway to Heaven.
1/5 Tenzij je onder invloed bent, want dan is het een ez 5/5 XD
this was a real nothing album to me. I found this album to be boring and a bit of a slog. a lot of these songs felt like they were just background music with nothing particularly interesting going on. I was expecting maybe something to build or like this album to go somewhere but it really didn't. I don't even hate this kind of music, per se, I just think this felt so uninspired and had no oomph. sorry, can't say I am a fan. I can confidently say I will never listen to this one again.
This is a lot like Klaxons. I can tell music is playing, but when it ends it's like - was there music playing? Thank god I looked this one up and didn't end up listening to 23 tracks of a 9 track album.
Didn't make it all the way through, but heard plenty. You'd think a band with the name Death in Vegas would at the very freaking least have some iota of energy in their music. Something slightly exciting or interesting about them, if asking for a single memorable song is too much. But nahhhhhhhhhh.
Brit electronica.
I could have gone the rest of my life without listening to this and been totally fine. Not very memorable.
Did not enjoy this at all. Derivative and boring.
Everytime I hear a weird and annoying album like that I hope, that it's the last one on this list. But a few days later there's the next terrible electronic noise album. Really getting annoying
This is dull.
Don't think I even know who this band is. Not an album I needed to hear before I died.
Radiohead ja Jarre collab
I do not like this Sam I am. I do not like this shitty album. Some of the songs start out well enough, but always suck no later than halfway through. 1 point for being different, 1 point for cool starts to songs, and 1 point for Iggy Pop. 3/10
God this shit was boring 1/5 Will add to playlist Neptune City (unenthusiastically)
I have never heard of Death in Vegas.. Electronica...I will give it a fair. shot.... Aisha....not bad The beat is propulsive....I can't argue that...and I suspect that is what it is designed for....for dancing.... Just not for me....
This was terrible lol, I couldn't even finish it. Very weird lyrics and below average music
Whatever this album is, it's one aspect of Cool Britannia that never made it across the Atlantic. And it's for a good reason. The duo are not The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Orbital, or even Sneaker Pimps. I guess you had to be there.
Eine vom ersten bis zum fünften Song unambitionierte und uninspirierte Platte, die ich danach gelangweilt ausgemacht habe. So was sollte kein Mensch hören müssen.
90’er elektronisk, dj, stort lydunivers
I did not like this. Dance music ain’t for me!
Wasn't a fan of this one.
Not a fan
Boring
Nothing enjoyable or noteworthy here
lol ok
I think other bands have had more successful results at fusing rock and electronica than these guys. I can see and appreciate what they are trying to do, and the wall of sound they create using guitars and synths is technically impressive, but frankly, aside from Iggy Pop's appearance on 'Aisha', there's nothing else here that really holds my attention.
Garbage
no just no. Going to pretend I didn't hear this
Didn't love it
Another album that's just not for me. I just don't dig this electronic stuff. At least not from the 90's.
Trying to be Massive Attack. Awfully boring.
why is this list so "english"?
