Idlewild

Really didnt like this at all. Probably the most time I’ve spent wishing for an album to end on this list! I’m not even sure what I dont like about it, it’s so inoffensive and bland. Maybe thats it. The only memorable thing about it was the longing for it to end. Either way it all sounded the same and I didn’t like that sound.

Contains a lot of the things I love about 90s rock. Reminded me of placebo, pixies and can't ignore comparisons to early Biffy, with exactly the right level of polish on the production. Will definitely listen again. ...is my review for Jack's recommendation of 100 Broken Windows by Idlewild. Idlewild the album by Everything but the Girl is Heart FM anti-music, offensively devoid of ideas or even differences between songs. No.

Didn't like this at all, found it to be very boring.

Don't like it

No good songs on the entire album

I literally can't for the life of me figure out why this is on this list. I am not sure it's good or relevant at all in any way. It's pleasant for sure, but get this out of here!

It's just too much

Uninspiring background music. Prefer to never listen again. 1/5

Booooring. Ok the mix was nice and the vocals nice, but man I was bored. I described it to my wife as "stuck shopping with grandma at Dillard's" music. Sorry but wouldn't listen again.

I thought this was an album by the band Idlewild at first, but alas. The music does nothing for me. Some of the lyrics at least have a bit of individuality to them, albeit in a super inoffensive way. The only song I recognised was a cover and apparently not even on the original release. 1.5

Not a lot compelling here. Some very earnest lyrics, but not in a charming way. The music is barely above easy listening. And somehow she seems to be both over singing and barely awake at the same time. As remarkable as that is, I can’t imagine why this was put on the list.

meh

Really, incredibly boring. I was looking forward to it after the previous album i heard of theirs via this project.

I have no idea why something like this is on this list. It's just flat out boring, there's nothing in the insturmentals or lyrics that make you say *Hey* You have to listen to this before you die.

Appallingly bad

How do they manage to sound so bored while making their own album? Geez.

meeehhhh, pas sûr de comprendre pourquoi c'est cet album qui se retrouve sur la liste. Don't Want To Talk About It est peut-être le premier hit qui a changé la carrière du groupe, mais j'avoue l'avoir entendu pour la première fois en écoutant cet album dans le cadre de ce projet. La pièce n'est pas mauvaise, mais selon moi le hit Missing de l'album Amplified Heart est beaucoup plus important pour le groupe. En plus, l'album ici souffre terriblement de la production qui vieillie très mal. On est dans les sonorités les plus mauvaises des années 80, sans parler du saxophone. La voix de Tracey Thorn est bien, mais l'emballage musical est mauvais. Honnêtement, l'écoute de l'album Amplified Heart vaut vraiment plus la peine que cet album.

Started with a nope, moved on to a nope, then followed up with a nope, then noped right the fuck out of there.

Way too cheesy. Just a bit gross

Bland new wavey bullshit

The album has the feel of a lounge act playing the early-bird happy hour at the Holiday Inn. I have no idea why this album would be something that anyone would have to hear before they die.

pling pling pling on the guitar. Some not so memorable lyrics. Nothing in that albums strikes a nerve in me. Sorry could not bring myself to listen to it all. It was just sooooooooooo bad.

Nah thanks bruh

Not exciting.

Trash

soooo bad

Nope. Not for me.

Maybe you just had to be there and I'm being over-critical, but then again maybe Hitler wouldn't have been so grumpy if people weren't ignoring his high 5s all the time. If it was a footballer, it'd be Dominic Solanke. SHACK loves lamb chops

It is so boring. Even though 1001 albums is a lot, this is literally not worth your time to listen through and more importantly, it should not have a spot on this list. The singer can only sing with a weird yelling voice, and the instrumental sounds like it belongs in an Adam Sandler rom-com. Favorite track: Blue Rose Moon

Not for me - 'It sounds like an 80s sitcom'.
