Reviews (page 2 of 8)
Got this album on a day when I was alone in the lab. Nobody is there to tell me to take it off the big speakers so I get to just melt away and try to actually work. A real “naming some guys” hit. 3.5
Review - this was way better than I expected. This guy might've been a bit before his time. The song Guilty of Love has a sample of that sound Prince makes at the beginning of Kiss which is hilarious. Very Neil Cicierega. It would've done numbers if released 10 years later. Better than I expected at the outset. Score - 7/10 Need to listen? YES
4.5/5
I don’t love the overall message, being a fan of rock and roll, but sometimes Mylo cruises into some good moments. Other times, it was super jarring and I found myself (if underline this if I could) turning the music down. That’s bad. That’s not something any musician ever wants to cultivate. Maybe it’d have a better effect under the right context, like a rave, but honestly, I doubt it.
Would be fun in the club otherwise I wouldn't listen to this
It's got good enough beats to be music to get shit done to, but it falls apart when listening to music IS the shit you're getting done.
This ranged in quality from elevator muzak, to an annoying repetitive early daft punk rip off, to some actual quality electronic music. Nothing was horrendous, just all a bit tedious. 2.7/5 -> 3/5
Absolutely dogshit
Fun & kind of electric; mid-‘00s dance album, through-and-through.
There has to be better electronic albums than this to put on the list. Bang average
Always confused this with Yourcodenameis:milo
2 hits, no edge. Boring drivel.
I forgot how good this album was. I used to own it on CD, and I remember enjoying it, but for whatever reason, over the last 20 years I've never really had the urge to go back to it. This album definitely came out when electronic music was at a lot of crossroads, and it shares elements of so many of the styles that were coming and going around that time. In the early 2000s, you still had styles like downtempo, and within house music you had this sound that I always called "filtered disco." Around the same time, you also had electroclash and indie dance, and a lot of those sounds eventually fed into electro house. This album somehow takes elements of all of those styles and smoothly mixes them together. The album is also very sample based, so you'll definitely hear a lot of familiar sounds and samples throughout. But Mylo was pretty flawless in the way he used them and blended them into his own production, showing how something familiar could be completely recontextualized and used in a totally different way.
Begon lekker maar al snel sleets
Was ok
I dont like mylo but this was alright
grooby
There weren't any particular tracks that stood out to me distinctly from the rest of the album (other than maybe the weird track "Destroy Rock & Roll" that I didn't really like), but the overall album was enjoyable to listen to. It's not a genre I listen to often, but I could see myself listening to this again as a background/ambient track
Categorized under “why is this an album I need to listen to before I die?”
It isn't as bad as I thought, but I don't think it has to be on this list. The title is just dumb.
The mix is really clean and punchy but it's just boring as shit. This is the kind of radio friendly pop dance bullshit that stopped me from listening to anything electronic for most of my life and missing out on some really cool music. It's just an hour of copy and paste loops that follow the same general arrangement, feels like being in a tacky Greek restaurant with too much faux marble and LED lighting
Sampling 70s and 80s songs into contemporary dance beats became the thing to do for a while in the naughties, but there were better examples than the songs on here. I doubt you're going to Destroy Rock and Roll by shouting "Motherfucker" over a Gloria Estefan backing track, and In My Arms doesn't have the same euphoria that Sunset Strippers got from Falling Stars. Need You Tonite does keep the emotion of the Julie Tzuke original though. The whole thing is just a bit too humdrum though. Bands like Groove Armada and Zero 7 managed the chilled electronica of the moment better than this, but you won't see them on this list, so why does this album deserve a place? The title track is just a lazy generic beat backing a list of musicians that deserve better really. The album isn't bad, it just isn't good enough to be on a list such as this. A low 2 stars.
Surprisingly good. RYM: N Saved a song: N
I enjoyed this! I'll probably never listen to it again.
A great album in a genre that can too often just be retreading of what others have already done.
Absolutely no idea how this got on here.
2/3
This was...fine? I even bopped to some of it. Can't say as I noticed any of the samples, though, and I don't know if that's to its credit or detriment. Maybe both. There's a chance I go back and listen to this with an ear for the samples, but there's a very real chance I never hear it again, and I'm okay with that.
The singles seemed cool when I was 12. Not to sound 106 but honestly even they felt like noise pollution now, and the album tracks were truly painful.
fun
Sounds like the playlist in a boutique that sold Diesel Jeans.
It was a good listen while lifting. Didn’t love the record scratches or repetitive words but overall enjoyed. Liked the two Muscle Cars and Emotion.
yaaaaaaa fuck this album Will I listen to again: 0%
Couldnt even tie rock and roll's shoelaces. Derivative but not the worst
1/5. Absolute trash. First song was alright but most were skipped then unfinished. Starting to feel short changed by this list of stinkers now.
I've never heard of this artist. So I have no preconceived notion about this at all. Thoughts after listening 3 times ... Ok, this is all instrumentals - with a few vocal parts which seem to be samples and just talking (like on the 2nd song "Sunworshipper"). Seems like this guy only has 1 album. That's what I saw on Spotify and was surprised so I confirmed it on Wikipedia. Looks like he's been milking the same content for years - with remixes etc. Apparently this was big in Europe. Also, if you were hanging out in dance clubs at the time, "Drop the Pressure" was a total banger. Funny, because I had to go back and check what song was "Drop the Pressure" - since it didn't register with me at all the first time through. I like a lot of instrumental music, but this was completely forgettable for me. Maybe you need to be on ecstasy or something to get into this. Chemical Brothers and newer bands like STS9 do this kind of music so much better Liked songs on Spotify: 0/14 Rating: 1/5 (should be zero)
I mean... okay. decent use of samples. not crazy interesting of even musically interesting, though. 2+
If elevator music could have epilepsy it may sound like this.
It's not the worst thing ever, but I don't truly get the appeal of why this is considered an album you must hear before you die.
Definitely not my thing. Repetitive and meh.
This is nothing.
1033 - "Here's your juice box and orange slice. Thanks for coming."
DJing ain't a real skill: that's why every single celeb does it (including Rupaul). I don't see what the point of taking music from the 80s and stripping it of all structure and fun is exactly.
Too repetitive. It had some good beats and a different angle, but every track had so much repetition.
Thoroughly enjoyed
Not for me.
I like Electronica. Truly, I do. But the selections chosen for the book overall as a whole seem rather shite from what I’ve listened to so far. This is really not that good, and the song where he just names a bunch of infinitely cooler artists than he will ever amount to is just kind of sad and pathetic. Additionally, “Drop the Pressure” being included 6 times out of his Top 10 songs on Spotify got a genuine chuckle out of me for a few reasons. On top of the funny visual, I have a playlist where I include my single favorite song from each of these albums. When I heard this one come around on my second listen through, without seeing the name of the song, I noted that “I really liked that one the first time”. Upon seeing that it was in fact the same song, I was laughing pretty hard. What’s more funny is that yesterday I was listening to glorified intermission music. Today, I’ve got pretty much the same vibes, although I’d liken this more to a “Your call is important to us. Please wait for an agent to take your call” kind of vibe. You feel me?? It’s call center wait time music. Something you’d hear when getting put on hold. This album is also almost an hour long. I’m surprised a song actually managed to stand out as my favorite, but it’s got to be the one everyone else seemed to glom onto. Giving it to the previously mentioned “Drop the Pressure” for managing to stick out as the best to me on a very repetitive, very basic Electronica album. Now, a lot of these albums have been dated and overwhelmingly boring, some of them have borderline put me to sleep. It’s a tremendously fine line, and I can’t really explain how it gets crossed, but despite all of my complaints, I still think this album isn’t terrible. It manages to be both repetitive, but never all that boring. I could have this playing in the background when I need to lock into whatever it is I’m doing at the moment. It doesn’t put me to sleep, and I’m able to actively engage with it, but it’s also not overbearing. I guess what I’m saying is, despite all my criticisms of this album, I still didn’t altogether dislike it. Would I return to it?? Nah. If it was on, I’d probably skip it. But it’s not terrible. Just a very low 3. We’re talking like a 3.25 out of 5. Even my favorite song on the album is just ok, even if it is by far the catchiest song on the whole album. This is another inclusion I’m curious about as to why it was included at all. Usually I do a deep dive on these albums, but I’m without an internet connection today unfortunately, so I’ll just have to assume this guy is and or was important somehow and trust that he belongs here. Not terrible, but not great. An overwhelming “Meh” on this one. It’s lucky it got a 3.
In My Arms, Guilty Of Love, Musclecar. 7.0/10
I was able to tolerate this album until I hit the title track.
Well, this fucking sucks… 2/10
Uhh another early 00s or late 90s techno album. This one is not the worst I have heard or the best but falls into the malaise of that type of music from that time. 5/10 Top song... Muscle cars
This album passed me by at the time. It's alright, didn’t hate it. I recognized a couple of the songs. 2.75
72/100. The concept is not destroy rock & roll, it's more destroy the boundaries around what music you're allowed to enjoy. In the title track he sampled a recording by Church Universal and Triumphant where a preacher condemns famous artists. It's a hilarious sample made into something to dance to. I thought it was a bit uneven in quality, but the production is so impressive. Some of the beats sound like stuff artist today use. Very ahead of its time.

Pretty annoying
Some of it sounded OK
I appreciated it but it's not my jam
This album killed all chill vibes by being abrasive too frequently. Not a huge fan.
Olipas huttua. Ei jäänyt yhtään mitään tästä mieleen ja pakko ihmetellä, että miten tämä levy kuuluu listalle...
Tapped my foot here and there
9 keepers in 14 (64%). First time listen. The Dream of the 2000s is alive in Mylo. Solid 4.
Why do i imagine this music having been the same Andy Warhole woulded play in his huose as ambient sound?
Interessant, ikke helt min stil men var stimulerende å høre gjennom.
Dear Lord, I hate electronica.
Usually not a fan of electronic albums, but this was catchy and an easy listen.
I’m not a fan of the electronic genre, so this was miss for me.
Chill-out vibe, why don’t you guys like it?
Very low expectations were slightly exceeded, perhaps only because I was on a treadmill and needed something upbeat.
I got nothing out of listening to this album
This was a completely unexpected album for a Friday, on the eve of a reunion dinner with my brother. My brother showed me drop the pressure in 2007-2008 maybe and it was an instant jam. The rest of the album tends to have exactly that same formula, somewhat infectionous and interesting samples that you cannot help at consider while actually just straight up shaking your ass to it. "Savior" of EDM, I don't know. EDM always had this way of being mainstream and then phasing into underground and coming back out to be popular again. I think this album is a bit overhyped but seriously good.
this feels quite soulless
Absolutely loved this, would wanna hear this at club space or smth
It was okay. Drop the Pressure was definitely the highlight of the album.
Genuinely surprised I’m giving this 4 stars. Especially after that weird second track. Edit: after a second listen I’m downgrading to a 3 lol. I only saved off one track. Still not bad though!
I don't think I recognize this artist, album, or any of the tracks by title. Seeing that it's categorized as House music, gives me the suspicion that I probably won't enjoy this. As anticipated, this is boring and repetitive House music. It's just not my thing. Maybe, in small doses, I might enjoy this more. But sitting down to listen to this entire album start-to-finish was not fun.
Not my type of music
Very repetitive, would benefit from meaningful lyrics.
Actually a pretty good record! Don't know how I didn't hear a lot of it at the time. Some great electronic sounds
Very cool electronic album! I really enjoyed this.
Chill. Nostalgic. Innovative in a way that updates and matures the genre. I like it. This is another collage using the same sample but by negativland. https://youtu.be/q-ODYHoGFfQ?si=pWGpuGbMbDZCD8Vg
Millennial Hipster Nightclub Music, Part blah, blah, blah.....
Sometimes this album seems like it's not as good as electronic music that was coming out ten years earlier. But there are a few parts that are great and lift this above my usual 2 star electronic rating.
Good
MUSICA DI PURO SOTTOFONDO, CON STILE HOUSE/ELETTRONICO A TRATTI NOSTALGICO DI VENT'ANNI FA. IL TITOLO DELL'ALBUM E' PURO E SPIETATO CLICKBAIT, E LA TRACCIA OMONIMA E' ATROCE A LIVELLI MAI VISTI PRIMA. LE ALTRE SONO IN GENERE ASCOLTABILI, SEBBENE NON CI SIANO MOMENTI MEMORABILI. COMU POTIU FINIRI 'NTA CLASSIFICA NU SACCIU PROPRIU. SMEMORABILE E' UN BUON RIASSUNTO. UNA STELLA NON PERCHE' FACCIA SCHIFO, MA PERCHE' NON E' ASSOLUTAMENTE QUELLO CHE STO CERCANDO. 1/5
Poor man’s Melody A.M. Kind of dorky but I still like it
The first two songs were a pleasant surprise as I wasn't expecting to be a huge fan of this but the almost psychedelic feel was really nice. However, they show off the clean production that ends up being the redeeming quality of this album as it progresses and becomes more and more repetitive, and less and less interesting. I mean, the samples in Guilty of Love got me really excited until I realised they were samples, and they are way better than anything on this album. I ended up wanting to skip through a lot of these songs when it got to the half way point of each of them. I even fell asleep at the end of it for a little bit...
Not bad
A very pleasant surprise! Great album!
A surprisingly poppy and upbeat bedroom electronica album. The record starts strong, but fades badly by the end. Would have made a great EP.
I’d maybe call this interesting. But it’s not good.
pretty good.
Decent. 3/5
Fairly decent Sky TV Guide menu music across large spells, but a baffling selection for the list really, and it's surprising to learn that it has continued to dodge the axe in more recent editions of the book. The album is clearly all a bit of a piss take which does endear me to it somewhat, but all told there perhaps isn't enough meat on the bones or genuine ambition on offer here for me to feel the need to revisit any time soon.
Some tracks are bangers, but most of them could be used as Chinese torture.
If I am ever asked "what is the best way to stretch an hour into a seeming eternity" my answer WILL be "put on one of Those electronica albums—you know the ones—in literally any environment other than high off your ass at the club". Too boring by far to actually listen to and too annoying by FAR to just tune out as background noise. I'm honestly dubious about the merits of this one even if you ARE high off your ass at the club but that's not an environment I've ever spent very much time in so I don't know. Maybe under the right circumstances it can be fun? I can't think of any other reason why it would be suffered to exist. The REAL question is what the HELL it's doing on a list like this one...
Good find!
Some are quite dull, not very enjoyable to listen to as an album. But some songs were fun.
Very good
Disqualified for Kevin Spacey association via American Beauty.
This was enjoyable.
This was a pretty good album,
This is beyond annoying to my ears.
This has its moments here and there, mostly points of nostalgia as I try to figure out where the samples came from. On the whole though this is a pretty mindless dance album. Not really my thing and I continue to question why there is so much of it on this list.
Not bad, some pretty good moments but mostly in one ear and out the other. Highlights-Drop The Pressure, Destroy Rock & Roll, and Musclecar Reform Reprise.
House, electropop.
I am sure of two things after this album. I'm still not a big fan of this style... but I strangely enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. After looking at other reviews, this album has been slated from top to bottom, with people almost hating it. I thought I was going to agree with a lot of those, but funnily enough, I don't. I think with it being so repetitive in each song, and being quite lengthy as a whole, I enjoyed it more listening to it whilst doing something, but still concentrating on the music. I think it would have felt very tedious to listen to it without doing anything else at the same time. I don't really have much else to say other than that. But as much as I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, I still didn't find it amazing on any account. However, I did think the premise of 'Destroy Rock & Roll' as a track was really interesting... I actually really enjoyed that one. Stand-outs: Destroy Rock & Roll In My Arms Valley of the Dolls
Hell yeah, Milo, you get a gold star
Although it did have some repetitive moments bordering on annoying, this is definitely closer to the sort of EDM I like compared to many (most?) on the list. I actually enjoyed it for the most part, and this is the sort of thing I would’ve really liked when I was younger and had a techno phase. Still, it’s not exactly the best or most memorable example of the genre, and probably doesn’t make a lot of sense to include on the list.
전자음악 무난하게 틀어놓기 좋아보임
Was fun, not a fan of the random lists of names though
Does this album slap on an all-time level? I don't really think so Will it destroy rock & roll? doubtful Will it likely make it into my "I am working on my computer and need a little music to help me focus" rotation? ABSOLUTELY I am happy to have been exposed to it. It is bright and happy and has me dancing at my desk. It is dynamic enough to keep me entertained but not so engaging that I can't focus on something else. I think the 1001album community skews towards electronic music haters and towards classic rock lovers but I am the opposite so this is great to me!
While I don't agree with the sentiment of the title, I do like the content
Destroy Rock & Roll? More like Destroy My Eardrums with Repetitive Sampling 101. I expected a rockin' good time, not a rinse-repeated sample festival. Once was enough to make my brain explode... into a loop. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Drop the Pressure - In My Arms
4 - BAD
I bought this on release and listened to it with my then girlfriend and now wife on a driving/walking holiday around the NW of Scotland (way before middle-class VW campervan fannies branded it the NC500). At the time I liked it, though there are few slower or less interesting tracks on it. Re-listening recently I found the album quite tedious, tracks over-long and lacking any drive. I found the same today.
Not a fan of music made this way. Grew bored very quickly.
THIS IS IN HERE??? HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! 5/5
This lowkey feels like elevator music.
Endtroducing..... but boring
Another win for the project. A really good album from a group I'd never heard of. This was a true surprise and a real treat. Listened to it twice this week.
Try as he might, Mylo did not, in fact, destroy rock & roll.
Hmmmm not sure about this one gang.
Really fun and relaxing listen.
Cyndi Looper?
J’ai pas trop aimé
Was listening to this in the car with the kids and halfway through drop the pressure, Julius asked if there were any lyrics in this song and I said “doesn’t sound like it” and then 10 Seconds later he said”motherfuckers gonna drop the pressure” 100 times in a row and we all had a good laugh.
2.3 The samples of 80's hits turned me off a bit, they felt a bit lazy. Some parts reminded me of Chromeo, who I think are wildly more entertaining.
Oh my god it's so dull There's no substance here The only thing this album is destroying is my good day
Pretty alright electronic music for my workday today, I'll call this a 3
This album is like finishing uni and moving back to your hometown, to live in a flat with some friends from uni. You are a bit more mature now, and you all have jobs which provide a bit of disposable income so you can afford to do stuff. But you haven't lost your youthful lust for life. You're still keen to get wrecked on the weekends, but now you can afford to buy beers at bars instead of asking your girlfriend to smuggle a cask of Kristoff Vodka and Orange in her handbag. You get rowdy at your flat, but the day after you can afford to fix the hole that you punched in the wall. And like, actually fix it. Not just put a 2pac poster over the top of it. Part of you feels like you are leaving your uni-era rowdiness behind, and you are proud of that. But the reality is you do still like to cause a ruckus.
Didnt mind it but not sure why it's on the list. Is kinda generic background music. Would suit maybe Sim City 3000. Maybe this was the 1st generic background music album?
Listened Before? N TechNOPE. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Sunworshipper
how much ambien do you have to take to dance to this for an hour?
This album dragged along, except for a brief interlude when Mylo sampled Kim Carnes' "Betty Davis Eyes".
It didn't blow my mind but I did enjoy it. If anything, it was a solid 3.5. This is mainly because it did fade a little into background music. It was enjoyable background music, don't get me wrong, but it is hard to give it any higher because of that
Alright background-y music. Rock & roll has nothing to worry about. Not worthy of this list, but many albums on here aren't. Didn't hate it. 3*
2004's Destroy Rock & Roll by Mylo — would I put a song or two on a party mix for nostalgic pals? Yeah, probably. And yet, it's the sole album entry in his catalogue thus far, and unless he's been nursing a decades long comeback, I suspect this may be it from Mylo. From what I can tell it was a phenomenon in the UK and critics could appreciate his soft rock cut and paste process...feeding all the samples, sounds, and style through a singular dance- and den-friendly lens. He manages to sustain his vibe over the running time. And yet, and yet, on the track Destroy Rock & Roll on the album Destroy Rock & Roll Mylo lists several recording artists. Are they targets? Are they inspirations? Are they alternatives to this album? Despite its grooves and craftsmanship, I can't help but feel in my own response that I'd rather be listening to many of them over this record.
fun!
Are they just naming favorite artists?
Wii lobby type music
Couldn’t get into this at all?
Big title for this album and it was actually pretty good.
Best Tracks: In My Arms, Sunworshipper, Destroy Rock & Roll, Drop the Pressure Yes, it can be annoying at times, but mostly this is pretty good. What's annoying? Well, as many have also commented, it is pretty bad when he doesn't know how to say very common names like David Bowie (BOO-E).
This was pretty good. I really liked Drop The Pressure. This is one of those albums where the 1001 Albums inclusion makes sense because it captures a very specific moment: electronic music getting slick, accessible, cheeky, sample-heavy, and indie-crossover friendly. Not dark-club industrial exactly, but definitely in the same broad family of “build a whole world out of loops, texture, and rhythm.” 4 stars.
utrolig behageligt
ok nok, men kan vel bedst beskrives som meh
*49 Jeg tror, rock and roll overlever lidt endnu.
Overvejende kedeligt med et par numre som var ret fede. Meh er definitionen tror jeg :)
Det lyder dejligt nok, men det bliver lidt langt og horribelt ufarligt og harmløst. Med en albumtitel som denne, skal der godt nok ske lidt mere - hvad er det lige præcis ved det her, der skulle "destroy rock & roll"? *Skal* man høre albummet, før man dør? Bestemt ikke. I starten vaklede jeg lidt mellem 2 og 3, fordi jeg egentlig synes, at det lyder helt fint. Men det bliver simpelthen også lidt for kedeligt, og jeg ender ikke i tvivl: 2.3
Det er okay. Noget af det er ret lækkert og catchy. Noget af det er dog også lidt intetsigende, ibiza chill som helt sikkert gør sig godt på en strandbar, hvor man sidder med tæerne i sandet og kigger på vandet, men ellers føles lidt generisk. Lidt bedaget, men omvendt er der også noget lækkert nostalgisk over de par hits der var på pladen. Vakler mellem 2 og 3 stjerner. Tror det bliver en stor 2er.
Decent inoffensive house music. A couple of very recognisable dance hits on here. The title track is a bit annoying with the repetitive spoken word sample, seemingly listing pop bands that have nothing to do with rock and roll.
3.5 - This sounded a like a soundtrack to a PS2 racing game, and I mean that as a compliment
Pretty good but did not destroy rock and roll.
I bought this when it came out but I've not listened to it for years. Listening now, I don't think I've missed out on much. It's a pleasant enough, mostly mellow, album but it's overly long and pretty middle of the road.

It’s fine. I thought it was fine at first, but it wore out its welcome. Robert Dimery just really needed to pad out the list with any half-decent early 21st century album from the British Isles. 2/5
High tempo, sample-heavy, synth disco pop. Sounds like it should be good but it is not. If this album had a colour it would be beige
2,5
Well, it’s finally happened! There was a British electronica album on this list, not made by Daft Punk, that I really, genuinely liked! This is so much FUN!!! Yesterday was super sunny and bright, the Knicks just won a game, I put on this album, and the vibes were IMMACULATE. This is bright, happy, dancing and grooving music. Playful, silly. It also helps that it’s not an hour long. The album is normal album length. The songs are the length of normal pop songs. It gets in, has fun, gets out. I respect that! The title track is so funny. Hearing that preacher say “Cyndi LOOPER” truly never got old.” A really fun listen!!
tepid
Good memories
1001 Albums I need to listen to before I die But here's the problem We've all been in an elevator before and heard the Muzak playing there So why do you need to put more of that sh*t on a list that targets fans of actual music? Now I'm starting me day all pissed off because of this nonsense Do not this again!
Not bad but a little flat, like something is missing.
I liked this a lot while working from home
Not my thing. Had to skip at least one song due to how annoying it was. 1.5/5
Sorry they didn’t destroy rock and roll.
I was pleasantly surprised with this, i initially thought a french house album from 2004 was an odd pick for this site, but it was really fun, chill, sounded like a video game a lot of the time and sometimes like daft punk of course. Standouts are Valley of Dolls, Drop the Pressure, In My Arms, Otto’s Journey, Zenophile, Need You Tonite and Emotion 98.6. Also the voice in sunworshipper sounds like Todd Howard lmao. Also someone on rym gaslit me into believing Captain Falcon was on Guilty of Love but i dont think that was him, my GOAT wouldve made it a 5 if he showed up. Also am i crazy or is Aja sampled in Destroy Rock & Roll???
3.25 Fun and catchy
Valley of the Dolls - 3.5/5 Sunworshipper - 3.5/5 Muscle Cars - 3.5/5 Drop the Pressure - 3/5 In My Arms - 3.5/5 Guilty of Love - 3/5 Paris Four Hundred - 3/5 Destroy Rock & Roll - 3/5 Rikki - 3/5 Ottos Journey - 3.5/5 Musclecar Reform Reprise - 3.5/5 Zenophile - 3/5 Need You Tonite - 3.5/5 Emotion 98.6 - 3/5 A relatively fun listen that, in my opinion, really didn't challenge the boundaries of house/downtempo genres. Granted it was good, but I've heard better electronic music. Was it a good listen? Yes. Did it deserve to be a part of the 1001 albums I *needed* to hear before I died? Possibly not. Overall: 3/5 Favorites: In My Arms
Gibt mir nix. Gar nix.
Heftig langweilig.
Lahm.
3.5 Stars
rubbish
Yes
Garbage is too kind of a word to describe this uninspired mess. Who is the idiot who thought it was a good idea to include this shit?
Sine nice stuff here but really boring in terms of house music, a couple bangers but mostly filler
What a treat
Based on the first 10 tracks, it's a good album with lots of variety and complexity.
I love the pulse and momentum of this album. It flies by with one big beautiful beat after another and a smart integration of samples. Listening, I was mostly just enjoying the general dancey vibe and bopping my head along with the music, but In My Arms and Drop the Pressure stood out as especially striking singles. It's a shame this is Mylo’s only release as it would have been awesome to hear more from him.
Mylo gets a solid to high 3 from me, the best parts remind me of The Orb, easy listening electronica. It doesn’t stay as good as the first 3 tracks for me and overall is too long for what it is but it’s a nice place to hang out with some proper highlights.
This just sucks, man. At least try a little.
Yes, easy going😊I like it!*
Cool vibes.
regardless of the quality of the music, Mylo has succeeded based on the rockists on this page getting mad at him for making electronic music. as if this is literally any less artificial in the grand scheme of things than Led Zeppelin, for example. if you're gonna dismiss this, why not go whole hog and consider electric guitars the downfall of "real" music? but to be fair i think this isn't great. it's so.. mellow? and in the world of 2000s electro house groove is sacrificed for intensity. fine! good! there's a lot of great music in this vein. but this doesn't hit. it fades into the background too easily. [which is a large complaint i have with this list. few of the dance music picks are actually fun to dance to]. deserves to be one of the 1001? mmmm well. ok. house music should be represented on here and i'm loathe to kick off one of the few picks. but. it's also not as notable as some of the snubs (Soulwax, Digitalism, Mr Oizo, Vitalic), so i'm in a weird spot on this. i say keep it for now but barely. if you wanna slot in Lambs Anger opt for that one instead
05/26 Pretty good
I don't even like Drop the Pressure, really. I mean, it all bounced along nicely enough but nearly an hour of this made me feel like I probably had better things to do
I don't hate this.
4.2
What a way to start the back half of the 1,001 Albums list! I got the notification just now that I had rated my 500th album just before I pushed play on this. Before we were a full measure into the song, I was tapping my foot. Very few albums get me right from the start like that. This album sounds like if Daft Punk were on a pleasantly chill weed buzz. I think all the reviews complaining about the title are missing the point. The name of the album is taken from a song, and the song is clearly a fundamentalist preacher wanting to destroy rock and roll. DJ Mylo is not saying his album will destroy rock and roll or that he wants to destroy it
I wonder if the title is meant to be ironic. What always strikes me about the electronic music that gets attention is how unimaginative it is. Most of it that I hear is just computer simulations of very simplistic rock and roll cliches: a straight four beat; a repeated bass line made to move your hips; and a rhythmic tone generator looping endlessly through two or three chords (or arpeggios) in Ionian or Aeolian mode. I always think to myself - you lazy motherfuckers aren't having to woodshed on an instrument so you should have plenty of time to experiment with alternatives to the simplistic tropes that defined a genre that became popular because it expressed urgency, passion, and stood for rebellion. But it seems that what people are listening to in electronica is the worst of both worlds: simplistic musical ideas performed entirely by machines that aren't expressive, passionate, or rebellious. (Nice tones; but the performances are lifeless and the music trite.)
Too much electronic sounds for my liking!
Not what I was expecting
by 2004 pretending that rock & roll is under any kind of threat by religious fundamentalism is a deeply uncool idea. making of fundamentalist album burning is already an old boring joke. by 2004 there's barely any distinction between traditional pop and electronic sample-based pop. it all gets filed under Rock & Pop in the bargain CD bin. maybe in a way it makes the argument that somebody should give destroying rock & roll a real go, just by being so dull.
It’s not that I think destroying Rock & Roll is an insurmountable task. I just think you’d need a better plan of attack than buddy over here had.
This was hard for me to get through. I want to be open to different types of music, but this just annoyed me. Obviously, this appeals to a lot of people. I'm not one of those people. All I hear is mindless, boring repetition.
Mission accomplished.
Complete shite. And major apologies to Kim Carnes.
An album with this title is likely starting in a hole for me. And this didn’t really escape. Not as terrible as other stuff we’ve had in this genre, but really not all that interesting or enjoyable for me. 1.5 and flipped a coin to go up or down…Mylo lucked out this time.
Destroy this album by Eric. 1.5/5
I can't believe they destroyed rock and roll 😢. 2.5 stars.
Precursor to awful lo-fi.
Alright
Man what the hell is this. No thanks.
Very suitable as background music. No real highlights, but also no big no-nos. Just plain mediocrity. Feels AI-generated sometimes, and a few songs at the beginning have this lo-fi vibe that you can find en masse on YouTube. So, I guess you can say this album is kinda a pioneer? Congratz. In the early 2000s, I was playing with Magix Music Maker, where I grabbed and mindlessly arranged various samples to create "music". This album very much reminds me of that approach.
The title promises to destroy rock & roll. As someone who has nothing against rock & roll, I approached with appropriate suspicion. The album does not destroy anything. It samples everything — pop, disco, house, dance — chops it up, and reassembles it into something genuinely fun. Never heard of Mylo before this. "In My Arms" turned out to be something I recognised without knowing where from — that kind of track, the one that gets everywhere. The rest of the album holds up around it. Upbeat, playful, unpretentious. Does exactly what it sets out to do. 3.5/5 — filed under 4. No genres were harmed in the making of this review.
Can't say much about this. This is okay, as far as Electronic Dance music goes. Unfortunately, this kind of music doesn't go very far for me... It started okay with the first two tracks in more Downtempo like style but switched quickly to a boring House party which felt quite uninspired most of the time. Give me some Rock'n'Roll instead... 2/5 - below average
Ik zag de naam Mylo en toen dacht ik: 'Dat is vast een andere dan die van 'Drop The Pressure'. Maar nee dus, hij staat daadwerkelijk in deze lijst. Verder ken ik voor zover ik weet alleen nog een Freeform Five remix van hem. M'n verwachtingen voor het album waren niet al te hoog, ondanks dat 'Drop The Pressure' wat mij betreft wel een iconisch nummer is. Op en top 2004 is dat. Geen idee wat voor album ik precies kon verwachten, maar het zit beter in elkaar dan ik had verwacht op de één of andere manier. Electropop gemengd met wat andere electronische house-stijlen die ik sowieso nooit uit elkaar kan houden. Het doet een beetje denken aan bepaalde periodes van Don Diablo of Dr Lektroluv, wat ik in die tijd regelmatig aan had staan. Ik heb dit graag aanstaan merk ik. En het helpt dat ik geen aanstoot neem aan samplen, want ik zie in de reviews wel weer een slagveld ontstaan met een discussie hoe knap dit wel of niet is. 4 vrolijke sterren. En de rest van de dag heb ik 'motherfuckersgonnadropthepresshahhhhhhhhhh' in m'n hoofd.
Shite
I would enjoy this more at a club after two drinks.
How come every generic electronic/house album has to be an hour long? I got the point of it in the first couple of minutes, did we really need to drag it out? This is fine. I would never seek this out again, but it made perfectly fine background music while I focused on anything that wasn't this album. There were a couple of vocal loops that I found annoying though. High 2.
My rating 2.6 More electronica. Meh!
483/1089 - Sounds like average house music.
Removed
Start - This was a nice surprise. It wasn't great but definitely something I can see myself listening to when it came out. It doesn't do much for me right now, but its at least something I can add into a playlist in the future. Update - halfway through, there isn't anything I would add. Even the most known song Drop The Pressure song didn't do it for me. I think I need more context or info about Mylo to be invested. I think that's the problem with this list, or its just a problem with me. The song Destroy Rock & Roll is good and can see myself listening to again. Not much else here to grab onto.
On est en 2004, le monde de l’électro se remet à peine de l'essoufflement de la French Touch et se demande si la suite va se passer dans un club sombre de Berlin ou dans la chambre d'un gamin surdoué en Écosse. Et c’est là que débarque Mylo, Myles MacInnes de son vrai nom, avec son premier et unique album studio : *Destroy Rock & Roll*. Et il faut bien l'avouer, le titre en lui-même est une provocation magnifique, un doigt d’honneur ironique lancé à la gueule des puristes de la guitare, alors que l’album est une lettre d’amour au groove, au sample bien senti et aux mélodies qui collent au cerveau. Je me rappelle l'avoir posé à l'époque sur la platine avec une certaine curiosité car on en parlait partout. Bon on ne va pas y aller par quatre chemins, ici, on est sur le dancefloor, mais un dancefloor avec de l'esprit, un truc un peu minimaliste par endroits, presque frugal dans sa construction. Dès la première écoute, nous sommes face à une économie de moyens qui sert une efficacité redoutable. Et nous serons tous d'accord pour dire que l'album transpire l'influence de Daft Punk, c'est indéniable. On y retrouve ce sens du filtre, ce côté "filter house" qui a fait les beaux jours de la fin des années 90, mais révisé avec une sauce un peu plus lo-fi, un peu plus "bedroom producer". C’est répétitif ? Oui, carrément. Mais c’est une répétition hypnotique, pas celle qui t’ennuie comme un cours de compta. C’est le genre de disque qui se déguste comme un cocktail un peu trop sucré : c’est bon sur le moment, ça te donne envie de bouger, mais au bout d’un moment, tu sens que les dents commencent à grincer un peu. Pourtant, on ne peux pas cacher qu'il y a des éclairs de génie. Des morceaux qui te rappellent pourquoi tu aimes la musique électronique quand elle ne se prend pas trop au sérieux. Et puis, il y a LE morceau. "Destroy Rock & Roll". Franchement, c’est une pièce d’anthologie, un pur chef-d'œuvre de sampling. Ce prêcheur qui énumère tous les noms de groupes des années 80 qu'il faudrait bannir... c'est d'une ironie délicieuse. Entendre une voix autoritaire dégueuler sa haine de la pop culture sur un beat aussi imparable, c'est le comble du cool. C’est le genre de morceau que j'aurais pu passer en boucle à la radio à une certaine époque, juste pour voir si les auditeurs captaient l'absurdité du truc. C’est intelligent, c’est drôle, et ça tape là où il faut. Rien que pour ce titre, l'album mérite de figurer dans n'importe quelle liste de "1001 albums". Mais soyons honnêtes un instant. Est-ce que tout l'album est du même niveau ? Pas vraiment, et c'est pour cela que ma note reste bloquée à 3 sur 5. Et passé les premiers titres et l'excitation de la découverte, on finit par tourner un peu en rond. Certains morceaux sonnent un peu comme du remplissage, ou comme des chutes de studio de Thomas Bangalter qui auraient traîné trop longtemps sur un disque dur. C’est efficace, certes, mais ça manque parfois de cette profondeur émotionnelle que je cherche. Ici, tout est en surface, c’est brillant, c’est poli, c’est plaisant, mais ça ne me remue pas les tripes jusqu'au sang. Le minimalisme est une arme à double tranchant : soit ça crée une tension insoutenable, soit ça finit par lasser et chez Mylo, on oscille entre les deux. On apprécie la clarté de la production, la précision des arrangements, mais on aimerait parfois que ça dérape ou que ça se salisse un peu les mains. Lui, il préfère garder son calme, sa distance ironique, son flegme écossais. C’est un album qui a parfaitement capturé l'air du temps en 2004. C’était la bande-son idéale pour les soirées où on ne savait pas trop si on voulait danser ou juste discuter avec un verre à la main. Il y a une sorte de légèreté là-dedans qui fait du bien. Alors oui, *Destroy Rock & Roll* est un bon album, voir un très bon album par moments. Il a ce mérite rare d'avoir su créer un pont entre l'indie et l'électro à une époque où les deux camps se regardaient encore un peu en chiens de faïence. Il y a cette patte Daft Punk qui rassure, ce côté minimaliste qui flatte l’intellect, et cette répétition qui finit par te posséder. Mais je ne peux pas m’empêcher de penser qu’il lui manque un petit quelque chose, un petit truc pour passer le cap du "grand disque". Je lui mets un 3 sur 5 parce qu'il remplit son contrat. Il divertit, il fait bouger la tête, il a au moins un morceau qui restera gravé dans le marbre de la culture club. Pour le reste, c'est une jolie collection de grooves, un exercice de style maîtrisé par un type qui savait exactement ce qu'il faisait. Si vous cherchez du génie pur et dur, allez voir ailleurs. Mais si vous voulez juste passer un bon moment avec un son qui claque bien sans trop vous prendre la tête, Mylo est votre homme. Et puis, merde, ce morceau titre est quand même une putain de tuerie et on ne va pas se mentir, en 2004, c’était ce qu'on avait de mieux pour faire bouger les hanches sans avoir l’air d’un abruti complet. Allez, je remets le titre éponyme une dernière fois et j'arrête là. Car après tout, détruire le Rock & Roll, c'est un programme qui mérite bien qu'on s'y attarde un peu, non ?
This sounds like weather channel music
It's fine, but dance music is not really my jam.
Why does this sound like the soundtrack to Animusic?
Buenisimoooooo
Idc this is fuuuuunky
Absolute insane banger. Instant classic. I loved it so much
Chill lofi beats to study to ass music
Seemed cool at first until I had the sinking feeling of “oh no this is the WHOLE album isn’t it…” 2.5/5
Please stop making me listen to this kind of music
Video game menu music
This album came out about a week after I graduated college. I've never heard of the artist. I didn't love it because this isn't really my genre but I will give it an extra star because some of the beats/synth sounded like the soundtrack to the Streets of Rage video game series which I love.
1.75 - I swear, "Guilt of Love" sounds like it's sampling music from a Mario game. Some decent songs, some (like the title track) that grate on my nerves. I'm really not sure why so much music like this has been deemed essential.
Mostly lovely, largely instrumental, great beats. A few songs are a little too redundant/weird when they add words.
it was a bit shit. Well a lot really
You will never destroy rock and roll, especially not with this. Can't really call many of the title track people listed rock and roll anyway. And who are David Boo-ie and Cyndi Looper?! Some of this is absolutely dreadful: that bicycle 'song' is the lamest thing I've ever heard. I've heard it on Smooth Chill radio before and think it's stupid. In My Arms is like a broken record, and a broken CD in one. The rest of this serves as boring background music, not detestable, but pretty crap.
Þetta rann ljúflega í gegn en var ekki mjög eftirminnilegt. 2,8.
Favorite Track: Paris 400
Enjoyed this more than I expected, simple and groovy
That was a lot of fun, great electro pop and dance that is just enjoyable. Great music to both work and workout too. Does it belong on the pantheon of music, no. Does that make it not worth it on this list, also no.
Najgorszy rodzaj elektroniki. Powtarzanie w kółko tego samego tekstu nie jest dla mnie żadną sztuką. Męczyłam się. Bez serc, bez ducha to szkieletów ludy. 4/10.
Electronic, lots of voice samples/ talking
It was chill, decently nice to listen to. There was just nothing that I really latched on to, it rather quickly became background noise. The whole album sounded like those Daft Punk tests tracks
This album- and perhaps most electropop releases- is a reminder that despite the wealth of technology available, artists usually end up making boring music. Overall: 3/10
Destroy Rock & Roll is yet another electronic album I had never heard of prior to starting the 1001 albums to hear before you die list, and after going through this album I really struggled to find what made this so much more special than some of my personal picks for a list like this. I am not going to say Mylo makes a bad album here by any means, but this is some of the most aggressively safe Downtempo/Electro House music I have heard in a minute. It is so safe that it gets to a point where you wonder if this album even tried taking any risks or if it was an entirely phoned in 54 minute experience. There is nothing notable to talk about here as each track feels without any sort of life to it, just a solid shell with next to no flavor to it all. The entire time I was waiting for it to really pop out and surprise me and yet that never came. This album is a bit of a nothing burger, but also not one that I would consider bad, just deeply underwhelming.
Big ol’ bored and disgruntled sigh.
dance music should have pace and a soul and this has neither
This album had chill beats, perfect for the background to a party where you don’t want the music to become overbearing. I’m not sure if this is what they mean by house music. Good listen overall.
No. No, not at all.
electronica, bastante variada, estilo funk algunas, muchos samples, 0 voz, no ritmo alto, bailable, bien de fondo para no prestar mucha atención, 3/5
With a name like “destroy rock and roll” I don’t know what to expect. I love this first track. Sun worshiper gets monotonous. Same spoken track over and over over. Ok. It started to get boring for a bit. Then track 5 came on. I like this one. This album is up and down for me. It’s good and mediocre. I’m glad this is near the end. I would probably enjoy this at a club. Last track is great. Overall I think this is a 2 or a 3 star. I don’t hate it, but it’s not that great either.
The title of the album is so wrong. I didn't believe for a minute that this is the type of music that would destroy Rock & Roll. A bad album
I like some of the tracks, they're easygoing and the samples are slick sometimes. I've just been in a really lousy mood for weeks. Sorry Mylo. I'm sure I'd enjoy this more if I was happier.
I actually enjoyed the chill beats. What I did not enjoy was the weird repeated talking throughout a few of the songs. Other than that, I liked the album.
What is this? Why on earth is this on this list? Decent background working music but I don't think that makes this something any NEEDS to listen to. Some of the songs were super repetitive and annoying. What talent is this showcasing specifically? I am unclear.
That was pretty cool. I'll definitely be listening to that one again
not bad, kinda fun, lots of weird samples
I do not have a good history with house and dance and generally do not enjoy it much at all. So I was kind of dreading to listen to this album. However this was immensely chill and nice to have in the background while I worked on some other things and I really enjoyed it. It really boosted my focus.
I went into this expecting to be disappointed, but honestly was left feeling pleasantly surprised. This was a solid album within its genre, and I see myself listening to it more often when I feel the need to wind down.
Dabbles in electronica and pop. Has made me want to listen to rock and roll more than ever.
I put off listening to this album because the title, Destroy Rock & Roll, kind of pissed me off. Looking at the reviews, clearly it provoked the same reaction in others. Now I'm finally listening to this, and I appreciate the album title more after realizing it accomplished exactly what it set out to do. Mylo ate up the music of the 70s and 80s and shat it out into this album. Is he setting out to destroy rock and roll, or the person he used to be when he listened to it? I don't know. I don't care. Is the music good? It's okay; I mean, it's the kind of music that would suit some dude wearing 400 dollar noise cancelling headphones as he programs and listens to his Spotify played titled "work." that has 900 tracks.
Light 4
3.5/5
This is not good.
Not familiar with this DJ at all but it seems this is the only album they made. I thought it was some pretty good house music and made a nice listen. Some good experiments and mixes too.
Cannot believe this album is 22 years old..... I really enjoyed it when it came out. I think I saw him/them (?) at Glastonbury that year. Listening again now its good fun. It's certainly not an album you need to hear before you die - but some good tracks - release the pressure/ in my arms in particular. Feels quite safe / daft punk lite and a little vanilla. Electronic music has moved on alot in the past 22 years and this just feels a bit basic now.
Destroy Rock’n’Roll Drop the Pressure and Destroy Rock’n’Roll are playlist staples, and I likef In Your Arms, but I’m not sure I’ve listened to the album in full - although I have a vague memory of buying it. Anyhow, Drop the Pressure and Destroy Rock’n’Roll do still stand out as excellent tracks, alongside In Your Arms, but the rest of it, while enjoyably solid-to-good, never quite feels lifts off, missing the catchiness and dynamism of those three songs There are some great 70s and 80s samples, most obviously on In Your Arms, but I particularly like Need You Tonite with its Stay With Me till Dawn sample and the very nice strings. And the George Duke sample in Guilty of Love sounds a lot like the grid music in Mario Kart. I don’t think it’s quite a 4 - it’s missing the elan and drama of Daft Punk or the rave-psychedelia of The Chemical Brothers, but it is an enjoyably well made and relatively undemanding dance-house-pop album. 3. 💪💪💪 Playlist submission: Destroy Rock’N’Roll
Ooo this is the stuff. The nature of the samples - soft rock and Magic-radio friendly - gives this its carefree air of late-70s, uplifting disco. It's DJ Shadow on roller-skates. Unfortunately it loses momentum quite significantly on the second half (aside from the punchy 'Otto's Journey'), producing a glossy string-based atmosphere, such as on 'Emotion 98.6'. It certainly feels more throwaway than the side-one bangers. Ever so nearly a four.
Some really good songs but overall meh
Tydeligvis vanskelig å lage noe bra electronica..
⭐️⭐️ nothing really memorable here, but it's also not the most difficult to sit through. makes decent background music at best. i think 2 stars is an appropriate score
Not bad!
Instrumental Musik mal anders, wunderbar
the first couple tracks were great afterwards it was just yeah alright yeah. good album to ride bike to
I don’t know if it’ll destroy rock and roll, but I thought this was pretty good. Would make good music to have on at a party, but I don’t think I’ll sit down with it again. Closing track was the strongest.
Unbelievably good. Biased by nostalgia though
This was a fun album to have on during my drive today. Very easy listening that you can just chill out too. Vocals weren’t too exciting, I think it could’ve used more to tell a story but to each their own. Very reminiscent of the Lo-fi sound we’ve been seeing grow the past few years.
Gets an extra star for patriotism, but this album doesn't grab me sadly
Fantastic! Never heard it before -
This is just shite. Period. Honest 0 stars, But of course, that's 1 star. I thought an album of ABBA dreg was bad...this was worse. As the Orange-tinged one would write: BAD!
Subtitled “A boy and his vocorder/phaser/flanger“. I think the 11th Commandment was THOU SHALT NOT BE BORING. If so, this young man unfortunately is going straight to Hell. Only a few tracks rise above pedestrian. Original rating 2.5 stars, docked 1/2 star for the first track sounding exactly like something I might hear if I were put on hold while on the telephone.
Is this a joke? Albums You Will Never Hear Again.
Great album! Highly recommend!
Techno background music
Nice elevator music, definitely not destroying rock and roll anytime soon
I actually really like this style of electronic music.
FAVS (top 3): drop the pressure, guilty of love, musclecar mençoes honrosas: muscle cars, zenophile, need you tonite gente é um album bom? é! mas meteu mt coisa q n precisava no meio, gostei bastante das q eu salvei mas tem umas q n tava dando nao, pelo amor, teve horas q eu tava ouvindo e pensando gente esse album vai receber um 2 bem bonito na cara mas algumas no final salvaram MUITO entao nao darei 2 e sim.. nota final: 3/5
Let me make sure I understand… Drop the Pressure is this guy’s standout single?!? WTF. I genuinely don’t understand. This album definitely does not belong on this list. In addition, the repetitiveness of this album is extremely grating. There are some good beats though, so… (2)
slightly-more-tolerable-than-usual dance music
This one was good but not great. Solid production and usage of samples. Need You Tonite is very reminiscent of Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake. Favorites were Drop The Pressure, Otto’s Journey, and Musclecar.
Slightly more energetic “on hold” music in my opinion. Nah for a 5 star Ya right for a 4 star Meh, maybe for a 3 star Well, I guess that sums up this album perfectly then Good day to you, sir
Ņeh.
It’s not my kinda music. But I didn’t hate it as much as the rest of the 1 stars. Rock and roll survives this one
A little Yaz feeling but kit as good. Random names as lyrics....
Lofi beats to relax chill or study to but the beta i guess
feines album mit sanften tönen - electropop
Netter Discomix
This was a nice listen - it felt pretty light and upbeat throughout. At times it gave me Justice vibes, in a good way. I'd give this a 3.5, but I'm okay with a 4.
cool dance album but forgettable
This was a really great album with only a few draggy tracks which, for a snarky techno album, is saying something. It was clever and well-produced. I'll definitely listen to it again.
Well… this album sounds like 2004. I get what they were trying to do, but MGMT did it better. 4/10
Quite OK stuff in this genre. Nice grooves and works really well on the background of office Monday.
This album doesn’t fit to any listening mood in my mind. Mostly just boring
#366 / 1089 Heard before? ❌ Revisit? ❌ Looks like my worst decade of music knowledge is around this time, due to not even hearing the name of this artist before hand. I have to admit tho, I had a pretty strong anti-pop sentiment at that time, mostly due to the shit that was being shoved down the consumers throat. While not at all as aggressive as the shite shoot algoritms of today, it was quite horrifying and probably the reason why I did not follow mainstream music, almost at all. While all of that has nothing to do with Mylo, whom to me is irrelevant, as I'd rather listen to DJ Shadow, Karma To Burn, Nujabes, Lesotho, Oddisee, Mogwai, J Dilla, Mono et. al. cool sounding instrumental music. I've said it before 90's UK Club music is utter shite, I can't stand it and this is too close to that, but it seems it isn't just 90's either. I'm also noticing the longer this 1001 project goes on; I really can't stand weak dance music, no matter the decade. Previously I thought it was only "90's Euro Techno", but I'm noticing it spans across the commercial dance pop genres quite significantly. I'm also noticing how much the name of the album chafes me, how the fuck does one destroy anything with loose wristed shite like this? It's not the worst I've come across during this project, but pretty much the blandest. Weak 2/5
Just not my thing
