Insoportable la voz de la cantante
All of these angsty, early punk rock bands are really taking a toll on me. It could've gone one of two ways, either I appreciate it more or I hate it more and unfortunately (fortunately?) it is the latter. The vocals on this are terribly painful.
I've heard the name Sleater-Kinney - but have never heard anything by them. After listening to this 3 times... * most of this was not memorable and the shrill, shrieking, atonal voice(s?) were really pretty annoying most of the time * I think the lack of bass and any other instrumentation contributes to making this all not very interesting musically. Although I believe the White Stripes do a similar super stripped down sound with just one guitar and drums - but they make it sound so much more interesting and enjoyable. There were a couple of songs that I thought might grow on me but after repeated listening - nope they just got more annoying. After doing this album a day thing, I feel like there is probably a line to be drawn from Patti Smith (70s) to Sleater-Kinney (90s) to Yeah Yeah Yeahs (00s) - but not totally sure. Also - props to them for mimicking a Kinks album cover - because I love the Kinks - but these guys not so much. I went back and looked at what else I like that came out in 1997 and there were so many other albums that were SO much better and SO much more interesting and enjoyable than this album - such as: * Radiohead-OK Computer * Spiritualized-Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space * Yo La Tengo-I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One * Chemical Brothers-Dig Your Own Hole * Modest Mouse-Lonesome Crowded West I'm glad this was only 36 minutes long. There is nothing on this album that I'd want to hear again. Liked songs on Spotify: 0/13 Rating: 1/5 (should be Zero)
The singing on this was so grating. This style of vocals is just not for me. The instrumentation was fine, I guess, but it wasn't enough to cancel out the bad singing. If anything, its averageness made the singing all the more apparently worse. Favorite Track: Dance Song '97
Sux
Screaming with that vibrato and a shrill voice was rough. I had a hard time making it to the end.
A three who don't fill out the sound, that or the producer didn't know how to dial the drums down. One of the greatest albums of all time? Well it's nowhere near and instantly forgetable
Dit soort bandjes hoorde je altijd als je ging kijken bij de popprijs van Amersfoort. Dit zijn de type bandjes dat je de zaal even uit loopt om bij de rokers te staan, ook al rook je niet. Ik snap wel als je dit hoort dat mensen beginnen met roken. Kortom: Slecht voor de volksgezondheid deze muziek. Dat deze band een studio in mocht om een album op te nemen lijkt mij een foutje. Dat dit album in de lijst is gekomen lijkt mij ook een foutje. Dat ik dit album nu moet luisteren lijkt mij ook een foutje.
heel kut...
Albumcover zag er veel belovend uit, 3 coole meiden en een Danelectro gitaar. De 35 minuten voelde echter aan als 3 uur, iets kan natuurlijk je smaak niet zijn qua genre maar het album werd onluisterbaar vanwege haar zenuwachtige dunne hoge stem.
Terrible.
Awful noise.
not my thing
Was so hard to finish
schwach! irgendwelche queers, die handwerklich schlechte Experiemente machen
Stop shouting!
3/10 - Punk rock, not my thing
listened to the first song in the shower and it annoyed me so i turned it off lol
Hot stinky dog turd of an album. 1/10
it was okay, i really only liked Dig Me Out. the rest got a little on my nerves
Again annoying vocals and the instrumentals made me feel nervous at points.
לא התחברתי לקול של הזמרת בכלל, וזה גרם לי לא להנות מהמוזיקה בכלל, ניסיתי אבל לא הצלחתי להתחבר, אני מעריכה רוק אנד רול אז שמתי כוכב אחד ולא אפס (אי אפשר אפס אבל שיהיהה)
Punk. Didn't get thru it.
meh, ritmos muy equis y me cagan las voces con vibrato fake jsjajaj
Not an fan. Marks for a consistent and cohesive sound. 1.25 /5
Abbruch
This was not my thing at all and the lead vocalist's voice was really annoying.
One of the worst music listening experiences of my life. Like battery acid in my ears.
nah
Fuck off.
I wanted more variation in vocal lines. The punky music was fine, maybe even a little enjoyable but I ended up wanting to skip towards the end because it felt like the same some. More anger would have made it better I think
Early 90s rap was different, not a fan of this album
Cacophonous. Some songs sounded off key. Shocked this album was on the list.
Just no. This was a waste a 36 minutes. The screeching hurt my ears.
I could not get into this album at all. The vocalist's voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard for me.
Lärm!
The definition of ‘noise’. Girl cannot hold a note. A nooOOottTTTTteeeeEeEeE
I just don't like their voices and find them grating
Vocalist is really annoying. Nothing was hooking me in. Very bland. Maybe it's their style but I fucking hate it
Not for me. 1/5
Had to speed listen, again. Have never heard Sleater-Kinney before and hope to never again; Alternative music is not in my wheelhouse; gives me a headache.
This is what putting a CAT in a dryer sounds like. HOW TF is this on any MUST HEAR list????
Olen pahoillani mutta tämä on paskaa. semmoseen genreen päättivät tyttelit uppoutua jossa maksimi on se kaksi kautta viisi. tämän lisäksi pysyttiin siinä kliseiden ja geneerisyyden raiteilla eikä edes vilkuteltu kahdella pyörällä samalla kun kolikeita tulee toiseen käteen. istutaan vaan sisällä ja pohditaan. + lammas laulanta klassikko naistoimintaa taas kerran.. en pahemmin löydä mitään hyvää tästä ja haluanko?? haluanko etsiä.. haluanko svedu vastarannalla reisiin asti mölviä mudassa ja paskassa toisen kerran päivässä? luulen että en halua.. the schism betewen et taju viela project and 90's american rock music is hullun hulvaton but also seriously fucked up.. dig me out
Annoying punk replica
No va
Dig me out and bury me 6ft because her voice killed me.
Gross
Lot of yelling, musically not my taste
The vocals took a full star away
WORDS AND GUITAR AAaaaAAoooAAAOOooAA
Angry punk girls. Vocals too quivery and not very musical - lots of yelling. Almost borderline tolerable. A healthy portion of fuzz, so there's that.
Not a fan of this album but mad respect
Now I have a headache.
Never heard of this beat combo so wondering if they never made any impact here in UK. I Paused here whilst I consulted the internet for any major UK references. Not much at all apart from reading Half Man Half Biscuit name checked them in a song of theirs. So that’s an interesting fact and probably the best thing I can say about this album. I’ve heard the likes of this album so many times done by artists a lot more musically competent. 1/5 3/12/24
Painful.
Neh
not my cup of tea unfortunately :/
First all girl band album to make the list? Probably the only reason why too. I did not dig this. The lead's voice was super annoying and the instrumentals were amateur at best. Very skippable album from a music standpoint but maybe had an impact on young, female, aspiring rockers. Glad it was a quick one...let's press on...1.3.
I don't know why I'd have to listen to this album at all. There is nothing special about it.
Pat Benatar type music, but the songs aren't as good.
Really annoying whining
Muss man mögen. Zu viel Geschrei. Politisch sicher wertvoll.
Not for me
Is there a less than 1 option
Nicht meine Richtung
sempre punk ma almeno questo sembra ascoltabile rym 3.76 mi sto già annoiando comunque non riesco a distinguere una canzone dall'altra giuro che non è misoginia è partita una canzone che credevo fosse già partita due volte sta roba è tutta uguale cristo dio per fortuna è finito, un altro 1/5
Women whining is not my genre
these vocals are like obnoxiously bad, turn it off
Definitely one of the worst albums ever
Not a fan of her voice
This album is not for me. The sounds of the album are dissonant in an intentional way and I can recognize that. Punk has that way of making you a little uncomfortable and forcing you to sit with it. But, you don't get much relief from the vocals. No matter who takes the lead singing duties, the results are never particularly pleasant on the ears. Though it doesn't fully resonate with me, I can appreciate the energy that comes through and there are some catchy earworms underneath the chaos. "Little Babies" is my favorite ditty of the bunch.
Not my music at all.
First song sounds like a goat being choked. Or maybe a chicken being choked. Oh, that's just the way the lead singer sounds. I can't listen to an entire album of this.
I really don't like when all songs on an album sound the same to me. I get that this band is going for a certain sound -- lots of electric guitar and scream-singing from the vocalists -- but it's just that I don't care for the sound itself.
Yuck
Never liked this band
I really really wanted to like it I just didn't like her singing:(
Lost me in the first 10 seconds and never got me back. Dischordant, jerky guitar and shouty vocals with tune I can remember. Really not pleasant to listen to at all.
Not really much audibly diverse on this one, rough sounding
Don´t like this music.
Flink zijk album, niet helemaal voor mij
feels like satire
musical dumpster fire jenny
Punk has been one of the genres I've had a more difficult time enjoying throughout this project, and this is no exception. I like the energy of the instruments, but the singer's constant shrill vibrato is grating. Makes it a hard listen.
No no no, absolutely hate her vibrato. All the songs sound exactly the same. How did these guys get an album?
not for me
Meh
Rubbish
Utter tripe - how does this ever get into anyone’s top 1001. Shows how subjective this whole exercise is. Scraping the barrel.
I like good Punkrock, this is not. Terrible voice.
Untitled2 can sml by baiting me like that. I could not tell if he was being genuine or if he thought pointing out that I was listening to ANOTHER punk album sung by two lesbians would make me teehee like a hyena (I did not). For reference, I historically do not enjoy punk and untitled2 has falsely accused me on numerous occasions of dressing like a lesbian. Turns out he were a day behind and was actually referring to Trafalgar, which was sweet because I did really like that album. I have nothing to say about this one though, since all I heard was ear splitting wailing that really did not feel fervent or angsty, just pathetic. God that hurt to admit, because untitled2 is a misogynist and this just gives him more fuel to add to the fire.
This album made me a misogynist. I audibly laughed at some songs. There is such a thing as too much vibrato.
Wow. You know usually I love these random albums, kind of like one loves a puppy. It’s fun, it’s exciting, but every now and then it takes a shit on your carpet. This time, the shit was taken inside my ears and lasted 36 minutes too long. Her shaky voice made my skin crawl as I begged and pleaded with father time to make the album end already. Fuck. That. Shit.
Holy shit, it’s the chick from Portlandia! I never knew she was a “musician”. Also, I found a Sleater-Kinney song already in my library and it’s actually somewhat good, unlike this album. Maybe she should stick to acting…
The first album generated that i could not push past, I found the playing repetitive, the vocals absolutely terrible. No melodies. There are simply no redeeming qualities for this style of music.
What happens when you are too late to the grunge party, but decide to go for it, but throw in a little punk so that you don't get accused of being posers who missed the grunge party boat? One star: that's what.
Héél 90s rock. Ze zijn duidelijk boos maar ik denk niet dat ik kan helpen
First reaction was - what an uncoordinated mess. As this is their debut album I can only hope that they improved with time - well actually they would pretty much have to as getting worse is nigh on impossible and staying the same just highly unlikely. Post punk normally displays the same attitude as punk did, which this does, while demonstrating some degree of technical competence - which this does not. Individually they may have reasonable ability - but the concept of playing as a band seems to have escaped them entirely.
It's like listening to a screamin goat.
This one is bad.
not a fan of the voices. music is ok.
Ouch!! that just hurt my ears!
Power to them for being an influential chick band but to shrill for my likings
This album was difficult to get through. A prime example of how a bad singer can ruin an album. The instrumentals weren’t entirely that bad but it was hard to get past the rough voice. Wouldn’t not re-listen. 2.3/10
the Go-Gos evil twin.
Sounded like the Offspring but female and worse
Niet echt mijn ding, ongeinspireerd
didnt like it
Nope
Not for me. The vocals were hard to stomach, and the music was pretty blah.
It wasn't bad, but I didn't enjoy it very much. I think I would have enjoyed it in 1997 but it didn't do much for me now. A couple decent songs, but a lot of the songs sounded the same to me.
Bad
говно для панков-задротов
Wow, I hate it. It's just chaotic noise to me. Most of the singing was just annoying to me and really not much else than that. I soldiered through about half of the album and gave up after the sixth song.
Angry loud grungy without the redeeming qualities.
Not for me.
Lead singer reminded me a little of the Go go’s. Na it’s a hard pass.
Just laughably bad. Shreiking voice, mediocre playing. 2/10.
Awful. Really not something I enjoy listening to. The vocals just frustrated the hell out of me.
