Want Two

2/10

No

I wanted to stick a knitting needle in my ears...

Again? is this list repeating albums? Oh no, someone really decided to include 2 albums from Rufus Wainwright. It's not the awful thing in the world of music, but I'll rate it with 1 star, paying some respect to the other 1001 albums that are not on the list and that can be a good replacement for this one.

most overrated Wainwright.

Not an album any of us will be coming back too. A rare 1star for me, as this lack basic human decency

wtf is this

Med frygt for at fornærme både pølsemænd og Radiohead, så lød første del af det her som pølsemandens Radiohead...

Man...I had a hard time with this one. Just not my cup of tea. 1.5/5

awful

A bit too whiny for my taste.

Uninspired pop ballads, unnecessary to listen to.

Seichter Baroque Pop. Maximal noch als Fahrstuhlmusik.

🗑

This is music for people who call people who are normal "sheep" and use the word sportsball. Fucking awful.

Don't like this one.

It was hard to even stand the first song. The rest of the album varies from an "Radiohead"-arrangement for either a church- or a cat- choir.

Boring AF! It sounded like when the paster sings the liturgy at a traditional Lutheran service. Not sure why this is on the 1001 album list. I really didn't need to hear it.

I got Wainwright's Want One just two days ago. I described that as overwrought, full of pomposity and ridiculous grandeur. This is similar, but somehow worse. I don't want to be the one baptised in cum. Someone will ask for my head And I'll get down on my knees and give it to him. When your lyrics are this beautiful, I guess it distracts from your voice being as nasal and whiny as that. Jesus H Christ, you mopey little bastard.

The album is pretentious and it was unnecessary. I did not care for it. Totally unremarkable. It is better than a one but not really a 2. I will round down.

Not my cup of tea

Do you want two? I'll give you one

Hooray, my first 1 rating after 80 albums! I've heard worse than this before but oh man, this is putting me to sleep. I'm stopping a couple tracks from the end because I just can't bear another non-descript ballad with average vocals. I'm not seeing the Thom Yorke comparison everyone is making, maybe it's the super weak songwriting that's stopping me. Please no more.

Utter rubbish. Whiny and annoying. Piss off.

We just had a Rufus Wainwright LP and it was painfully mediocre. I'm not listening to another.

No, I really struggled with this, found it so incredibly depressing, I would never even consider listening to any of this

Yikes. What the hell.

A wide range of products are available to purchase at the gift shop. Please donate anything you can. An old couple walking along the beach stop and tell me to tie my shoelaces, before I trip and fall. But I've already fallen. A single red rose on a pillow. The tangled language of your Bulgarian mother as she tries to build the perfect snowman for you. The moon has never looked as pretty as it does this evening. Who framed Roger Rabbit?

1/5 Best: The One You Love Worst: Agnus Dei

Saai gejank

A collection of very dull songs. It's on the list because?......

hard pass

I really cannot stand this type of music at all. If you love listening to whiny, nasally voices, this is for you. I enjoyed The One You Love, and it turns out that's because it's the only track that attempted to be holistic music. You know, with actual arrangements, changes, feel, basically anything besides sitting on a stool and droning on behind a mic?

Not sure what this album is doing on this list

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

More dreary old shite. Cross between badly drawn boy and Radiohead. Devils music

After the first two tracks I’m thinking This is an easy 5 star album, but then there’s too many slow songs in a row. It’s like yesterdays album except the music on this one isn’t that interesting. Maybe I need to have it sit with me but on first impressions I’m not jelling with it.

Hell no

meh...

Wainright might have the most annoying voice I've heard since the last Bjork album I listened to. It starts off with an absolutly terrible crappy "song" (I'm not sure I even want to call it that) and doesn't get much better the rest of the way. An entrie album of completely boring tracks sung by a whiny bitch.

I hate Rufus Wainwright

I found the beginning of this so insufferable that I did not listen to the full album. If anyone gives this a 5 I’ll give it a full shot.

Very boring.

So people got through that first track? I was in a really good mood til I listened to this.

eipä kyllä lähtenyt, on vähän turhan paljon näyttämistä. voisin luunnella uudestaan sen takia, että ehtis enemmän kiinnittää huomiota yksityiskohtiin

Harhautunut ammattilainen kuvittelee luovansa jotain suurta samalla, kun säveltää klassisvaikutteista poppia, joka redusoituu laulu- ja sovitustekniikan esittelyyn.

First one I've given a single star. This was bad

Irremediably dull. He probably thinks the idea of “Baroque Pop” is high concept art. It’s actually hokey as fuck.

Well, that was definitely the worst album I have heard here so far. I honestly struggle to understand what is so appealing on this record, that it ended up on a list of greatest albums of all time. You can tell that Rufus has great 'opera' voice and unique style of singing, but it's far from being groundbreaking or entirely original. I had a really hard time trying to finish the album. Last song was somehow a breath of fresh air, 'Old Whore's Diet'. It included Anhoni from Anthony and the Johnsons, that I highly rated a week ago. Unfortunately, it was not enough to save this record. I was very hesitant to give one star to any of those bands, but I think in my opinion, Rufus really earned that. There shouldn't be a place for this album on the list.

Je respecte l'artiste et reconnais son talent, mais ce n'est pas pour moi. Pièce la plus intéressante: Waiting For A Dream

This would have been pretty good if the producer had had the balls to tell this guy that he shouldn't be anywhere near a microphone.

Awful

christ that first track is like nails on a chalkboard, couldn;t finish it. rest far too boring, gave up halfway. miserable man

Rufus combines classical, pop, poetry and melancholy, to terrible effect. He gets the worst from all these things and makes a god awful mess. It's like nick cave with out the dark humour and melancholic poetry. Mozart with just the shit garden centre twiddles. It's like nothing I want to listen to again.

Je reconnais que Rufus Wainwright est un artiste prolifique et talentueux dans son genre et je crois qu'il faut effectivement avoir écouter au moins un album. Par contre, son style n'est vraiment pas dans mes cordes. J'ai de la difficulté avec sa voix et musicalement je ne trouve pas ça très novateur ou intéressant. J'avoue préférer d'abord la musique dans un disque, donc rien pour m'aider avec cet album. Je respecte l'artiste, mais ce n'est pas pour moi. Pièce la plus intéressante: Waiting For A Dream

Little bit too radiohead *

At some moments it sounds like he is close to something that may be acceptable

Huevísima total

1 out of 5. Not my cup of tea and never felt any song hooked me in.

A tad slow and boring for my taste. Overall all songs on the album sound similar and none really stood out.

Sombre whining with little melody. No thanks.

The vocals felt very monotone and grating throughout. The variety in the instrumentals between songs was nice, I just can't get behind the lead vocalists style.

what. the. actual. fuck. is. this?!

This album is definitely overrated. Sounds like a poor man's Thom Yorke. With this album and several Radiohead albums on the list, me thinks the author has an obsession with the band.

Not really my thing. He's got a great voice but the whole opera vibe is just too much

Not my style, not extraordinary, more disturbing

Tries a little bit of everything and isn't great at any of it. Pretentious lyrics, drab songs and one of the most irritating voices around. If these are the selections for the week, I dread what the weekend's pick is gonna be like.

Terrible

A bit dreary. Not for me

Not my style
