Oh come on. (ntm.)

Boring!

What in the name of god is this

1.5

A musically okay, vocally terrible record that I find rather forgettable. Was hoping it would end.

Did not feel any particular way about this album, it just kinda came and went for me. I didn’t find any tracks memorable and the mixing was meh.

some tracks where ok but bit of a meh album overall

p613. 1989. 1 star. A band that desperately wants to be REM but lacks the talent or the songs. On the plus side, it's short.

I was hoping that I could write that the only good thing about this album was that it was short.. But it felt so long. Did not need to listen to this.

Nothing special to write home about here... Honestly, don't understand how this album made it on the list

Didn't click

What was this? Terrible singing off-key

There are simply some albums that I won't understand the reason they made the list. This is one of those albums.

I'm glad I looked into this album a little bit before writing anything, because I almost made a fool of myself by calling this 2000s midwest emo (the album erroneously showed as 2006 in my player). I stand by what I commented to my partner, though, which is that I think it's wrong for any genre but punk to seemingly portray an inability to sing as a positive, because I refuse to try to get past "I never attempted to learn breath control" in order to try to listen to an album. The lineage here with Minutemen is worth a couple of points, I guess, but I did not find this an enjoyable experience.

Mmm.

At first, I thought "Who the hell is fIREHOSE?", then I thought "Why the hell is fIREHOSE?", and then I found out that it's the remnants of the people that made the song from Jackass. Quite a journey.

Boring

I'll give this one a single star, because I can't believe it's on this list. I mean, how is it even possible?

Even the band doesn't remember recording it.

I don't know what's going on here and why this album is on this list. Being quirky and off-the-box? Maybe, but it sounds horrible at the same time. I couldn't stand the vocalist and the music was so uninspiring, I gave up halfway. Most likely I am missing something, an important piece of trivia to unlock this album, but after half an hour with fIREHOSE I am not interested in finding out what that is.

Why in the hell is this Album on here?! What is special or ground breaking about this? I feel like I’m being trolled

Boorning

Mostly just annoying. Short though.

nope no folk type music it’s too close to country

Never heard of them. Never want to hear them again. Don’t know how this was even considered for the chart. I gave Marvin Gaye a bad review yesterday which I feel bad about after this. Unlike this lot he was at least musical. This is straight into the bin.

I don't exactly hate it, so I guess it's fine? But I'll never go out of my way to seek it out again. If someone wanted to redo this list so it's a tight 1,001 on the nose, they'd surely cut this one. In fact, the more I continued to listen the more I realized I actually do despise it.

Kan næppe kaldes musik.

The production is fucking horrible, the mixing is awful, druming sounds boring, drum solo songs are whack, bassist is trying to hard to be quirky and interesting, but he is a bassist, guitar is flacid and lame., vocalist sounds like an angsty nerd. Good time for a reminder that this list (not the website, godbless ya) was made by some random fucking guy. This album is piss.

I don't know why this is on the list. I did not enjoy it.

No matter how many times I listen to it and how hard I try, I struggle to remember anything about this. Nothing really stands out at all and it’s just a pretty forgettable experience. Don’t really know why it is on the list to be honest…

Es tan aburrido que preferí escuchar el nuevo disco de Karol G.

Nothing here really stands out, other than the bass on some songs, I did not exactly dislike this album, its just... Kind of boring. If background music in an outdated pub had a poster album it would be this, its not even remotely enjoyable. In one ear and out the other. I did not finish the record in its entirety. If the first 11 tracks (bar Vastopol) are mediocre, then I doubt the final 3 will be redeeming. Favourite: Vastopol

Moje první setkání s fIREHOSE a teda… obrovské zklamání. Ze začátku jsem si říkala, že to je nějaký docela fajn mix rocku a punku, takový jam-out session, just guys being dudes, ale jak jsem se prokousávala tím albem, tím otravnější to bylo. Největším kamenem úrazu byly vokály, byly podivně patetické a ufňukané a nezapadaly mi do hudby. Přitom zas tak hrozné nebyly, slyšela jsem i mnohem horší, ale z nějakého důvodu mě to hrozně iritovalo. Instrumentace špatná nebyla, nejlepší byly právě ty části, kde vokály nezazněly. Celkově to na mě působilo hrozně povrchně a bezduše, jakoby to byla jen fasáda a fIREHOSE předstírali, jak hraje taková typická indie rocková skupina. Bylo to všechno hrozně vyprázdněné, bezcílné, bez sdělení, bez vášně… prostě zklamání. Žádná určitá písnička mě nezaujala, žádná z nich dle mě nemůže existovat mimo kontext alba, protože jsou tak vyprázdněné, že to je nic, jen generický hluk do pozadí, ale v albu aspoň působí dojmem, že mají nějakou kontinuitu a drží pospolu a dávají nějaký náznak atmosféry a zasazení. No nevím, ač to nebylo to nejhorší, co jsem kdy slyšela, je to tak zapomenutelný počin, že se k tomu už nikdy nevrátím. Možná ještě někdy fIREHOSE dám šanci, ale tomuto albu se rozhodně vyhnu. Nejlepší na tom je albumový art, ten je fakt super. Nejlepší písničky: nic mě nezaujalo, ale nejspíš Vastopol (bez vokálů) Nejhorší písničky: Liberty For Our Friend (podivně corny a patetický, nezapadá do zbytku), The Softest Hammer (hrozný vokály, prázdný) Hodnocení: 3/10

The only good thing to say about this album is that it is mercifully short.

Treeniksellä on sika kivaa vähän soitella ja juoda bisseä!

Det var hverken catchy eller noget andet.

100th album. Let's hope it doesnt blow. It wasn't awful, but it was astoundingly forgettable, like an unfunny science teacher.

It seems to me like nothing much at all is happening in this album. I'm nearly at the end and I'm not sure I've really heard a single fully-fledged riff or some kind of theme. It's just... a bunch of stuff happening. Or maybe it's so boring and nothing that it's washed over me without me even realising it.

Det här var faktiskt ganska så dåligt.

not what I expected, and much worse than I could have guessed. just dreadful, who likes this shit?

Coincidence that the band banner is an anagram of ire of use? Yes? I'm too tired for this. Maybe as it makes no sense; no? No coincidence, just nonsense? Gah!

Did not make it through the whole album. Mediocre, occasionally grating, decent drumming.

Extraña mezcla de sonidos y estilo. Mezcla entre pop y rock, por resumir mucho. Lo cierto es que no me ha gustado nada

Assez banal, il faudrait qu'on m'explique pourquoi il fallait que j'écoute ça avant de mourir.

From the opening cadence of just cymbals, it begs the question if that is going to be a major theme on the album. It is, not that there is anything wrong with that, only that it sticks out. "Mas Cojones" is pretty groovy, maybe the best of the bunch, but the rest seem to fall short of matching it. More cymbal solos for "Let The Drummer Have Some", which changes in tempo seem deliberate and well done. "Liberty For Our Friend" is a bar song. That is all. "The Softest Hammer" maybe could have been this album's overall style since this band is good at being intentional and subdued. While their proclivities for being groovy are evident, they seem to rely on that too much here and so its broad appeal, is not.

No me gustó. Puede ser que no les haya entendido pero no tienen ni pies ni cabeza. Algunas canciones son buenas pero están hundidas en piececillas sin ton ni son, más propias de un show en vivo para demostrar lo bien que tocan. Nada de ganas de volverlo a escuchar.

Disliked this very much
