Ei ollenkaan huono. Kompakti kokonaisuus, mut tunteita ei kovin herännyt suuntaan eikä toiseen… 2,5* kaatuu kuitenkin alaspäin
Vähän puuduttava vaikka paranikin loppua kohti 2/5
2,5/5
Eh eipä kauheesti kyllä iskeny ja vähän erikoiset sanat. 2/5
Nice of the community center to let them do their album cover shoot inside.
this kind of did nothing for me. i didn't hate it but it seemed not very special. maybe it was too punk-y?
It was just "meh" for me...nothing really excited me or stood out. Also there were several times per song that I was actively unimpressed or put off by the vocals
If “generic sounding British band of the 70s” is your thing then give this a listen. Otherwise I find this album very forgettable, almost a B group Who.
yawn
Not a fan of this band or album. The songs were boring and I found myself skipping halfway through each one.
Brittish & boring
Bit bland, meh.
Didn't enjoy.
A whole load of meh. Such a bland and instantly forgettable album that's saved by down in the tube station, probably the jams best song.
Early punk without the edges, post-punk without the experimentation. It's all just a bit new wave, a bit safe and sanitised for me.
Sleep music
Good not great, down at the tube station at midnight 2.5/5
Ok
The first half of this one wasn't my jam (ha)- was hoping for songs more like "A Town Called Malice," which isn't on this album. But the second half was more my style, which bumped up the rating a bit. My favorites were It's Too Bad, Fly, and Down in the Tube Station at Midnight. 2.5
2/5 nothing special
Better than yesterday's made it through it all! not my favorite thing though
nothing special
Some ok songs, but most of the music just seems incredibly bland and generic.
It was alright, but I wasn't a fan of the singers voice. 0RS
Boo
Just meh. I listened to this on Friday and it's Monday now. I honestly can't remember much about it. Maybe I wasn't giving it enough attention, but it seemed pretty bland to me. Singer reminded me of a cut-rate Joe Strummer. Nothing against this, just didn't seem special.
mediocre British alt rock 2.5
no thanks
Not to my taste
A volte un po' punk, a volte pop-rock, in più, ci sono dei pezzi in acustico: non si capisce bene che direzione prendano e per questo motivo li ho trovati un minimo interessanti e moderni. Però purtroppo sono abbastanza insofferente quando sento questo sound british, soprattutto nelle chitarre, che mi nausea e mi rovina l'esperienza. Voto: 2 (che sarebbe un 3 che non ci ha creduto abbastanza)
Meh...
meh
Pre80's 80's-cover band. Just sounded like they were trying to imitate someone but never figured out whom
Nothing particularly stood out.
Didn't like it, and I (thought I) love Jam. All the best songs sound like other songs by other people. Once again, the best Jam album is the Best Of.
So so. A bit samey.
Punk shit
mwha, had er veel zin in dus uiteindelijk viel het me tegen.
Not my type of music. Too British, to pointy. Next.
4.5
I´m not a huge fan of punk....
Pretty underwhelming. It's Too Bad.
This was... fine? There's way too much Brit pop or whatever in this list.
It was just fine. Didn't caught my attention at any point, though :(
Not quite my tempo. Mr. Clean was pretty good though
2.3 poor man’s Clash
Meh. Nothing original. I might be missing some historical context but I didn't feel the music was anything special.
meh.
Uh, English Road was pretty good.
Power pop, mod revival, and punk rock built from sharp guitars, driving rhythms, melodic bass lines, and urgent vocals feels like reading a stack of opinion columns written with great conviction but surprisingly little that sticks with you afterward—spirited, well-crafted, and for me ultimately underwhelming. The album is full of energy and intelligence, yet it rarely developed the memorable hooks or emotional pull needed to keep me engaged.
1. MOD - 0 2. zomeone - 1 3. clean - 1 4. david - 1 5. roze - 1 6. crouud - 2 7. billy - 1 8. bad - 1 9. fly - 1 10. place - 1 11. bomb - 0 12. tube - 2
Какая-то альтернатива. Чем она отличается от миллиона других, без понятия.
I found this almost unlistenable due to it being boring. They tried to strike a middle ground between The Clash and The Sex Pistols and ended up in a no man's land of mediocrity.
Brick heck in the back
Not for me. 1/5
Nah.
I lived in a house a while ago where next door did a knock down build. The guy who owned it was a knob. I had a nice lawn and we had just had a bunch of rain and he proceeded to walk on it and ruin it. I was wearing a Ben Sherman T-Shirt and he asked me if I liked the Jan. I asked if he meant the conserve. Because I do not like the band.
nah
1/5 If I wanted to listen to british punk music, I'd rather listen to The Clash. The Jam doesn't know where to position themselves. Lyrics are boring, rhythm's off,... I think the 8th song sums up the whole album pretty well: It's too bad.
I've had enough of 'old' british stuff that sounds the same at this point.
not for me.
Omg, thats boring english punk or rock, idc. Doesnt catch on, so… Just waste time
KICK THE ENGLISH OUT OF THE STUDIO
Okay music, a bit dated for my taste and
No
Ugh, enough with the boring British stuff already
Wow I really did not like it. This is a perfect example of this particular genre of music that I can't force myself to like. It's always from the UK, the vocalist is bad and sings in a screamy, non-melodic manner, the songs are kind of punky or new wave and there's very few engaging melodies. Instead, it's pretending to be somehow alternative or cutting edge for killing momentum of any interesting melody that might appear in their songs. They all sound the same to me. I really, really do not like it and I feel like if it wasn't from the UK, no one would care about it. There's so much more interesting music outside of this 'genre' - in particular, from non-English speaking countries.
meh
Unremarkable, unmemorable, unnecessary.
2/5
Nicht meine Richtung
Boring
Why?
How did a small country like the UK make so much synth rock that it all became awesome and wound up on this list? Just 80s romcom montage music with awkward lyrics. I hope we're leaving the UK soon given the rest of the world also makes music.
im so sick of the guitar im going insane!
Seems like it was way ahead of its time, but I just really dislike New Wave.
unremarkable
just boring.
If this was ever special in some way it is now lost to history. Punk has come a long way since this pop band.
Not all of us like punk or can discern prog rock from punk. Not my tipple.
Straight rock. Boring stock. Tick goes the clock.
I hear: - Elvis Costello - The Cars - The Romantics - The Pretenders - Talking Heads (maybe) Maybe one of them influenced the other. Who knows. Was all that music that sounded original and fresh at the time really just a mishmash of that era’s sound? Will we look back on today’s music and say the same thing?
Meh
Kedeligt - på trods af deres version af David Watts
bit british, innit?
Tämä bändi ei taida kauheasti harrastaa koukkuja. Kivastihan he soittavat, jopa tyylitajuisesti, mutta valitettavasti minulla ei ole syytä kuunnella.
It was okay but nothing really grabbed me. I could listen to it maybe as background. Nothing stood out nothing did it for me
Sounds minimalist, rhyming structure is weird, kinda corny. Zero songs added to my playlist. Just not my cup of tea.
Bien bien chiant
No
not into it, pretty generic jam band
Not impressive. Starting to worry who’s picking the 💿 for this list of 1000!
Sort of dreading this. Tried The Jam before and it did nothing for me. I am onside with Paul Wellers lefty politics, but I find his mod revivalist, suburban angst bloody boring. Trying to listen with an open mind but two tracks in it just sounds like such mannered tripe. Mr Clean is a little more interesting, like Motown during amateur hour... Then there's a Kinks cover. David Watts is a great song and The Jam don't massacre it. The Kinks remain better though. Finally, there's a good song - English Rose. It's pretty and sweet and has sharp little edges. Then there's the rest of the album. See above. Paul Weller is a hack.
I’ve never really understood the appeal of The Jam.
Never got the jam, not for me
media puta hora de guitarra loco
