What are we doing here man In what world is this milquetoast lo-fi electronic nonsense an album you must listen to
Meine Güte: Wie mit dem Tretroller auf der Autobahn. Langeweile pur und das zu xten Mal.
I will never be in the mood to listen to this again. Even for the song or two that I feel worked. But the ones that did could easily have been on a Knife album. So I should just listen to them.
Destaco Seven. Los temas empiezan TREMENDOS Es bueno, sí, pero no es para mí, al menos no qhora. Algunos drops son pegadizos, otros está copado tenerlos de fondo pq no destacan, otros son molestos. Gran trabajo medio dark son el sintetizador ese en la voz y tal. Not my cuppa tea
meh
2 - TERRIBLE
Didn’t like this enough to finish listening
Not for me
This was terrible. I found it bleak and miserable and lacking anything if merit.
mama im scared...
No me gustó para nada, extraño, sin sentido, dejé de escuchar a mitad del disco.
Nah. The first track had its mysterious atmosphere and was filled with neat layered synths. But when she started singing on the second track…it started to go down hill. I love a great female vocalist, but her voice is just grating. Maybe it’s the style or genre, maybe it’s where she’s from, but I just couldn’t do it. I’m happy to say that the instrumentation and musical ideas expressed here are innovative and… interesting. I can definitely give it that. But I just couldn’t get into this past that. Not just because of her voice, either, but because I just couldn’t relate. This one wasn’t for me.
This is noise pollution
Like, the first song is good. The rest is pretty boring, or annoying, or just not very good.
An album by a Swedish electronica artist I’ve never heard of, who used to be part of an electronica duo act I’ve also never heard of. She’s a BIG fan of using distorted vocals; a lot of the tracks sound like a parent doing an exaggerated monster voice for their child. The songs dragged on and on, a never ending stream of uninteresting minimalist beats and weird mixes. The album was 49 minutes long, but felt twice that length. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Usually with electronica albums you can at least dance to the beats and sort of zone out, but this was just garbage that had no rhythm. Fever Ray will join the Hall of Shame as my ninth 1/5
Man this album is not for me even in the slightest. I actively hated listening to this album.
absolute dog shit
Was a bit gutted this wasn't sugar ray. Every morning is a banger
didn’t fully listen but this is not my vibe
Awful for me not a fan at all. Sounds like Bjork with electronic noodling 0.5/5
Not really my style of music
I came extremely close to giving up listening to this record. While I liked the instrumentals, the vocals were annoying and the lyrical content is even worse.
1/5 I suppose I could listen to this as background music but I don't understand the hype around it. Cool if you enjoyed it though.
Weird, and not in a good way. Would have been nice if, er, they had attempted a tune here or there, but sadly it was not to be.
Never heard but I saw that the first song had 100M listening and thought it might be something good I missed... it was very disappointing. Horrible singing over bad and lazy beats. Gets boring within the first song because every track sounds the same.
I appreciate this project for the breadth of music it exposes me to, but I just don’t like electronica. Every time I was beginning to enjoy a beat on this album, the vocals kicked in and absolutely ruined it for me.
I hate it
the perfect album to play at my funeral, because I'll be dead and won't have to listen to this junk
This is the kind of album that should interest me. But after bothering to listen to the first two tracks, I just skipped through the rest. It's completely lacking. No voice that draws me in, and no synth patterns that lull or captivate me. "Fever Ray" can't awaken any fever in me; it's simply meaningless. Something like this won't stand the test of time.
What is this exactly...I am so unsettled after listening.
Ohne Höhepunkte aber stört nicht.
Not for me.
Again, just not good music.
1/2
Can't be doing all of this
I hate the vocals. Whatever that pitch shifted thing is that they are doing with their voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Now it’s not all the time, but it’s enough. And there aren’t really any redeeming qualities to make this appealing at all to me. Some of the songs without the pitch shifting aren’t terrible… but “not terrible” is no way to make an album. Or even a fraction of one.
could of died without listening to this
if i could give this negative stars i would
Bjork from Temu 1 ⭐️
Didn’t listen. Totally missed this one.
Blind album and artist. Hard no. Not my thing. I know the knife and I also dont like them very much so this fits
trash
Terrible
It's dog shit. There is nothing new, nothing original, plain and tasteless. You can hear Bjork's influence, but it feels like a squeezed-out and dried-up version of Bjork, very bad. It was a waste of time for me. 1/5 —————————————— No liked songs
Thought I was gonna love this after the first few seconds. But it was a bit of a slog. Maybe a bit too soon after Björk!
No thanks
Now yall playin in my face
I suppose it is some kind of (bad) joke that this album is on this list.
Just a bunch of background noises to me. It was not really annoying, but it wasn't really anything to be honest. Someone who studied music will undoubtedly say this is some amazing piece of art. But I listen to be entertained, which I very much wasn't with this record. 1/5
More crap that sucks major suckage in the suckiest way.
what the fuck am i listening to today NOPE. done. fucking done. can't stand this waterdroplet drum sound. violent hatred. water torture. I'm having a violent reaction to the audio, to all the sounds coming out of this. zero stars
Sounds like someone playing around with beats in their bedroom. Not good.
The first song had a cool dark drum and bass thing going on, but I can’t say I was very interested after that. It devolved into a weird (not the good kind) of poppy electronic music that just isn’t my jam.
Bjork called and she wants her weird music hippie goddess title back. For this release, Spotify also suggested the "Songs To Test Speakers With" playlist. Seems apt. It's vaguely interesting but ultimately not something I'm really excited about hearing again and again.
No thanks, I listened to the first couple of tracks and then couldn't get through the rest.....automatic 1 star.
I do not have the fever for this album. When I saw the number of listens I was thinking I was in for a treat that I just had missed. I found that I wish I had missed it still.
Compelling opening! Grungy and blues, watered down but gritty. "Give me more" is the feeling this song leaves. Many tracks leave me wanting more. Pretty chill album, not a fan of the vocal but the instrumentation is dope. Compelling. Vocal styling detracts from album enjoyability. Excellent background noise. Atmospheric and bassy. Ambient sounds highly musical, well produced. Coconut is the most listenable track.
Hey. You can make me listen to this garbage. I still have control.
Just not for me. DNF.
Man this shit stinks. Ethereal in the bad way. Technically technically decent I think but it is also a lot of mid nothing.
Говно какое то несусветное
Utterly Unlistenable
Not for me
Knock-off Bjork. The only way it could be worse is if it was actual Bjork.
Meh
Started good but got too experimental. 1/5
This is not off to a good start. Depressing Swedish electronica is not something I would ever listen too. This is like if a Swedish girl decide Bjork wasn't weird enough. I bet David Bowie was listening to this when he wrote the songs for Blackstar. Triangle Walks has the music from every 80s/early 90s movie that took place in the rainforest. I understand Swedes have an odd fixation with death but this is super depressing. This is awful. Coconut is the best song on the album even if it is almost 7 minutes long. I liked her better in The Knife.
Too mellow and boring
not my type of music
not for me
DNF
The ugly album cover was already an indication...
rubbish
I remember The Knife trending for a second. That was alright I guess. This is tedious and unlistenable. Nothing beats with nothing melodies and nails on a chalkboard vocals.
I enjoyed the instrumentals as background music. Did not enjoy the vocals. But more importantly, I don't think this belongs on the list. Doesn't seem significant enough or special. Feels run of the mill electronica. 1.5. I round down. If I thought it belonged on the list it would be a 2.5. 1=Crap that shouldn't be here 2=I didn't like it but get why it's here 3=I thought it was ok or even like it, get why it's here, but won't revisit 4=I like it, will revisit 5=This is some of the best music I've ever heard and will continue listening to it
if i never hear this again it’ll be too soon
was kinda just wishing it was over Will I listen to again: 0%
strange and not my cup of tea. did not enjoy
Reminded me of Bjork. I hate Bjork.
Boring lyrics over chill euro pop music.
Not into it.
Not quite
I really didn't like this one. It felt boring, flat, and I really didn't understand why it even made this list at all. :(
Keep the Streets Empty For Me has a cinematic atmosphere that I enjoyed. As much as I tried to appreciate the album's production, I cannot give it more than 1⭐ when I actively despised the singer's voice on every single track.
niggus biggus triggus fagottigus skibidus toiletus
Meh
This is a 10 song album with only 1 song on it. Every single song was exactly the same. A dull repetitive synth beat, and some weird over tuned whiny singing. Triangle Walks had some nice music pick up, but other than that, this was a total slog. Couldn't wait for it to end. Best song: Triangle Walks
Just no. 1/5
They should have seen a doctor for the fever...
Not my thing
Not loving the electonic
No.
Electronica that's chill to the point of being boring. Didn't click with me at all
Nope. Not for me. Too dark, too deep, too abstract to get into.
Another album where I have zero idea why or how it’s on this list.
Someone paid money to produce this. I would love to ask them why.
Not really my cup of tea.
Ik weet nog steeds niet waar ik naar heb zitten luisteren
Personally getting zero enjoyment out of this one. Gave it a shot and I just can't really get behind this one. It's experimental and weird, but not my type of experimental and weird.
It was interesting. I wouldn't gravitate towards listening to it again but it was good enough to get work done with it during the first and only listen.
I can safely say I didn’t enjoy anything about this. Not the absolute worst thing on the list, but it also reminds me why I despise most music of this genre.
Very ordinary electronic music, mildly atmospheric, but in no way innovative or an album that anyone really needed to hear.
Pass.
Really bad, don’t like it, yucky, ugly. 1.1/10.
A compilation of electronic experiments. I nearly fell asleep after the second track
many other complaints but the disgusting sound of lips on the opening track are basically an automatic 1 on their own
There’s an occasional fun best with the drums but other than that it’s not good.
Irritating
What the fuck have I just listened to
Brutal stretch of albums for this listener. This one couldn't keep my interest and I'm not going back for a 2nd listen.
Repetitive much?
I'm starting to think, 980 albums in, that there is only 200 maybe 300 albums max that you need to hear before you die. Fever Ray is not one of them. The vocals are really annoying
This is not my style of music at all. Hate it. Will never ever listen again. I wish I didn't have to listen the first time. I'd really love a rubric that shows how these 1001 albums were determined.
Didnt have the patience for this one
# 190 : The only way to get this album played is to put it in lists. This was really bad.
Nope, didn't like this. Sounded really straightforward with some odd vocal effects and sounds added to give the impression of creativity. Bet music journos/pitchfork love it, one of those where I just don't get it. There seems to be a genre of indie that amounts to strange production choices and I'm not a fan.
No go…reminds me of music from horror movie.
Electronic Pop kann richtig gut sein, dieser jedoch nicht. Schade, schwedische Sängerinnen haben häufig eine besondere musikalische Begabung, Frau Dreijer auch, nur nicht für meinen Geschmack.
You go to that trendy and expensive new hair boutique only to realize - too late! - that the stylists aren’t talented enough for Great Clips. This album is the Surströmming-infused water the place provides.
Crap
Waste of time honestly. There are some really weird choices for the post 2000s albums. Rating: 1.3
NOPE
Skip this one.
REALLY DON'T LIKE CONCRETE WALLS
Really don't care for this minimalist style. Staring at your shoes and regretting life's choices
It sounds like Cyndi Lauper doing a Bjork impersonation to a series of Peter Gabriel backing tracks - and while that sounds like it’d be good, it just didn’t hit for me.
Not for me, maybe just the wrong time to try listening to it. Might try again some day.
Pass
Deffo not my thing. Pretty unsettling.
Horrible, I'd see this as a soundtrack for a bad sci-fi film.
Creepy weird, dont get it
A hilarious shit-tier Peter Gabriel wannabe project. Whiny nasal-sounding little kids singing terrible lyrics is sped up and/or slowed down and dubbed over B-side instrumental passages. It's laughable, annoying and abysmal on every level. Couldn't even finish listening to it.
Shit was ass
I’m usually open minded with music, but yikes.
Listened to some of this yesterday then finished while I was hungover af on my way back from picking up my car from an impound lot. Was not a vibe at all. Fuck this album and the government
Go back to the kitchen lady
Top 3 Songs: 1 - Now's the Only Time I Know (7) 2 - Triangle Walks (5) 3 - Seven (4)
This album was a complete waste of time. This hardly registers as music to me. The vocals are what prevents it from feeling like a repetitive mess, but the vocals are also the weakest part of each song. Just bad all around. Favorite track: Coconut
qu'est ce que je viens d'écouter
This shit sucks. I didn’t even listen to the last few songs because it was bugging me so bad. I read some critic reviews saying it’s not catchy and you have to listen to it a bunch of times to get all the nuances. No thank you.
Shit
Ik denk dat mensen liever naar mijn gezang onder de douche luisteren dan dit.
Depressieve rotzooi
Fever Ray is het soloproject van een voormalig The Knife member uit Zweden. Ondanks lovende reviews is het album een compilatie van nummers die beter onbekend hadden kunnen blijven. Ruim een uur aan onbevredende, lelijke elektropop. leukste nummer: Album is op 19 oktober uitgebracht, wat het al te jammer maakt dat het zuigt
I have listened to happier Damien Rice albums. Play a cheerful song you yuppy clowns.
What an annoying, maddening record… I couldn’t wait to be finished with this ordeal. This is the kind of music customer services put on when they don’t actually want you to keep waiting….
Not interested
1.5
So many moaning sounds and boring vibe
No.
Wow that was bad. I had high hopes after “If I Had A Heart" and then it just got worse and worse and worse. By the end my ears were actually hurting. Why is this album on the list at all? Just a bad album.
For some reason when I went to listen to this on Youtube song 1 was not included. Doesn't matter though I'm pretty sure it would have not changed my opinion on this piece of junk. Who buys this garbage? Fever Ray? Sugar Ray? If you have a Ray in your band name you're gonna suck.
Not very good at all. A weird and not so good combo of alternative and electronic. Skipped several songs as they just weren’t listenable. 2.1/10
wut lmao 1.5
Sucks ass. I hate it.
Awful, stop sending me this shit
Plodding sadness.
Didn't like it
Didn't much care for the genre. I'm more blues rock.
What utter rubbish!
Weird
Meh
Just artsy electronic music that's not really good. 1/10.
a whole lot of nope
Only one ray is worth listening to... and it is a very sweet ray...
Boo
I do not like this.
Super cool. primal slow techno.
