there's nothing good about this
Empty and soulless - the music they play in the waiting room.
i feel so bad but i didn’t like this one
1/5. Wasn't terrible to listen to just very forgettable. Would rather listen to better versions of the same genre. It's club music but if the club was occupied by 3 people who all don't really want to be there.
This was dreadful garbage. Generally, the U.S. does a pretty good job exporting its crap to other countries, not sure who was working the customs office when they allowed this one in.
I'm listening to the album and reading a lot of the reviews that this album among others heavily influenced the sound of 90s (and beyond) soul/R 'n B, dance and hip hop, especially in the UK. That this album still stands like a house. That it's very dance-able and excellently produced. That this was very innovative music for its time. That this brought a very useful broadening to dance music. But all I'm genuinely hearing a simplistic electro beat, and music that has neither soul nor funk and falls flat in every song. I'm probably really missing something.
mediocre dance record with a messiah complex
No
Fuk em
Every note. Every second. Every vocal trill. Every electric piano. Every fake internment. Everything in this record pisses me off. I don't just hate this record. It activity makes me angry.
Inget skit att ha
bland
This was lame even when it came out in the late 80's.
Dull, dated, yuppie wine bar vibe.
90's house soul. I didn't think I would hate it, but I do.
Different strokes and all that, but 28th Greatest British Album Ever, Q magazine?! I really don’t get what’s so special about this album, even if you like this kind of music. Which I don’t. I thought Back To Life was going to redeem it somewhat, but the album version, it turns out, takes an age to get going. 1.5
PA$$
I just can't stand bland R&B. It's just dull. I remember my sister listening to this when I was a teenager. I hated it then and I hate it now. Best Tracks: Keep On Movin'; Back To Life; Jazzie's Groove
Not for me, very repetitive
Not really my kind of music. Didn't like any song, sounded very repetitive.
Keep on Movin' didn't start me moving. Fairplay sounds OK.... for about 15 seconds, then it descends into depressing lameness. The women have good voices but the songs are so uniformly awful that I just kept skipping. Back To Life is a step above the rest but not enough to save this borefest from a 1 start rating. If Jazzie's Groove was on a 5-star it would drag it down to 1 star. That is the worst assault on my ears ever. Although Ambition goes close. Worst rapping ever! No competition! Whatever drugs they were on are a danger to humanity.
To quote a younger generation "I just can't.....". I tried to listen through this, and although I can't say I hate it, I just kept reaching for "skip" for so many songs, just nothing grabbed me.
Probably not a 1 but man I was really not feeling this one today.
nope
Ok 2 The whole album sucks, and then the remix of "Keep On Movin'" comes and brings the best beat I've ever heard. A 1 though, because the remix doesen't count.
dont like
Repetitive and cloying, mainly thanks to bargain-bin beats and the most British vocals you can find. Some tracks on the back half manage to eke their way into mildly catchy territory, but after the absolute slog of the first half the LP needs a lot more than a few bangers to atone for its sins.
Didn't enjoy
Weird "club" music, sounds like it's older than it is
Not my cup of tea
absymal
TRASH
Not for me, just not my style
Not for me thanks.
Not a big fan of this one. Songs got old quick I didn't make it all the way through.
No.
Like it more than I thought I would. Groovy sounding but not in a funk or disco way. Very early 90s rnb.
