This is just dreadful. The lyrics are boring. The music is generic. The singer can’t sing for shit. Just bad.
Vervelende stem, 2*
The music is nice but the vocals really ruin in for me.
Meh.
Nothing special really. Yet another 1001 album that I apparently did not have to listen to before I die
This album started off well, but by the end I was getting a bit tired of the music. I wasn't a fan of the singer's voice. I was going to give it a 3/5 but I reconsidered and think a 2/5 is closer to my thoughts.
Wasn't bad.
A nailed on 2⭐️ from the first note
I can imagine that in 1978, they and their sound probably stood out. They are definitely skilled musicians and I like their energy. I also like that they vary their approach in a few songs. Sometimes they get a little bogged down in the, not sure how to frame it, kind of "drugged up" sound I think? I know it's not easy, at least for me, to tell when a band is getting artistically exploratory or sounds like they're on something or imitating what being on something sounds like, so I admit that faulty filter straight up. All things considered, though, this is a good album. Solid tracks here and I like it.
Band sounds cool but couldn't make it past the vocals.
Idk, let's see I fucking hate the British, only thing those wankers got correct was their sport and their funny ass swears. All I've heard my entire life is "oh, the Brits make great music." "Oh, the English wave was huge". "I can't wait for one direction to run a train on me" "music didn't exist before oasis". I can't stress enough how mad I got listening to "my generation" by the who and then this. This wasn't even that bad, but it's been mid album after mid album and honestly, I'm tired of it (this is definitely my being tired at work talking). My Alzheimer's patients remember our conversations more than I'll remember this album. A very angry and disgruntled 2 stars. Nah maybe I'm being too harsh. I'll relisten to see bc "another girl another planet" is good. The whole of the law is ok too, a little slow for the whole punk vibe tho Yeah 2 stars for the number of songs worth listening to I'd like to put a sidenote putting my generation as a one star album, i needed to mull it over
Yet another indistinguishable album with absolutely nothing special about it. Please lift your game!
It was ok. I wanted to love it but nothing was catchy enough.
Truly not my style. Can see why it'd be popular, tho
Perché?
Dire
I think the me in my mid to late 20s would have liked this a lot more than the me in my 40s did.
2.5/5
Weinig aan.
Niet echt spectaculair.
If I ever meet Robert Dimery, this is going to be one of the many, many pointless UK shit albums I will smack him around the face with. Just before I cut his nose off with a Stanley knife and pour vinegar on the fresh wound. 2/5.
Dont know how that was associated with punk. That wasnt punk
This post punk - proto new wave album is a nice segueway for the two genres. The guitar intro to Another Girl Another planet is pretty awesome and that song rocks. It’s also the only song where the lead vocalist’s voice doesn’t annoy me. Although they first wrote The Whole of the Law I prefer Yo La Tengo’s cover better. The rest of the album isn’t very memorable unfortunately.
Alright 70s rock. A few good songs here and there but overall not that exciting.
kinda meh
From the Dylan-esque opener that falls flat with offputting vox, through some Byrds-like attempts in the middle, to some mild rock at the end, this one is hard to pin down across the board. While an idea of where the band wants to go is present, it veers a bit too much and lacks just enough direction to land.
Proto-punk that will eventually lead to the Violent Femmes and plenty of Indie rock ala Modest Mouse much later--with plenty of genre influences strung in. Yet, I can't shake the clear 70's sound that lingers. An example of how this list often focuses on early creation points, not who did it best.
Occasionally lush instrumentals with the vocals of a bored crow and the excitement of a lukewarm glass of water.
I think it was okay, this one just kinda washed over me and I don't recall much about it
I do not like the vocals in the intro track. Hope it’s not like this the whole album. Didn’t listen past 3rd song. Very pretty guitar but I couldn’t deal with the vocals
Was hoping for more like Another Girl.
forgettable, but better than a lot of 2s I've rated, so I guess it's a 2.5 for being pleasantly forgettable.
The singing was annoying and the songs were not great. There is no need to listen to this album.
Непримечательный альбом. Местами неплохой инструментал, но не более того. Совершенно не зацепило. 4 из 10.
not a fan of this. Bit too much just like random noise.
Aikamoisen joutava sikäli enää oikein muistan
No ei ollu kummonen
hm, another planet, another girl and
I don't like 'em much
Ne znam jel' do mene, al ovo mi je dosta dosadan album, nisam zadovoljan, čudi me zapravo, ima pokoja okej stvar, al mi je zaboravan.
this one just really couldnt keep my interest, i’m not sure why
It's pretty good, I'm just not super into it
2,5; very specific album, there are some songs that are very promising, but then it's kinda flat and generic, whole album wasn't unpleasant to listen, but I have an impression that I will forget all of it because there wasn't anything special, that could help differentiate the band from the other ones
Liked Another Girl Another Planet, The Beast and City of Fun, but as a whole it felt way longer than 33 minutes (not counting bonus tracks). I wasn't a fan of the vocals and felt the guitar solos were too low in the mix as they were pretty decent. Nothing terrible but not a memorable experience.
Pretty borring album tbh, althought the second song is pretty fun.
I might have enjoyed a song or two on their own, but the whole album really started to get on my nerves today. But I sense that it might have just been bad timing and that there might be the right day for some whiny British pseudo-punk, which sometimes just hits the spot. We'll see.
2nd Listen. Standouts: Breaking Down, It's the Truth, No Peace For The Wicked. From the bonus material: Peter and the Pets 2 of 5. but it has potential
Don’t do drugs, kids.
Boring.
nominally intersting
Not bad, but not great either. Probably wouldn’t turn It off.
Sounds like a demo tape.
How many British bands with monotone lead singers do we have to listen to they all sound the same
The voice sets the ceiling here and we’re on John Malkovich’s 7 1/2 floor. I do like a quite a bit of the music like Lovers Of Today. Frankly if the lyrics disappeared I would like this more as an instrumental album.
Interesting sound
I didn't really like this. It sounds somewhat psych but not good, and more new-agey. The vocals were not enjoyable.
It's fine. Think I've got a bit of 70s guitar album fatigue at the moment though - couldn't really get excited by anything on here except Another Girl, Another Planet, which might earn it a 2.5.
Boring AF.
Afschuwelijke hoes. Matig album: De zang viel tegen, maar de gitaarpartijen waren wel oké. Dus aantal keren dat ik naar dit album zal luisteren: Only Once
Okay
Another bad punk album.
Waste of time
It was okay.
The recording sounds off, and the style is not really talking to me. Interesting discovery, but I won't listen again, probably.
Another girl, another planet. Ja ma voor de rest meh
2.5 de muziek is een vibe, maar de stem vind ik vaak wat zagerig.
not my cup of cha
ok nice start. pls have a nice voice. uh. maybe i'll get used to it. well im done, didnt sound bad but quite boring, no stand out tracks.
The instrumentals were fine, but I wasn’t a fan of the vocals.
A deceiving album. On first listen I was very interested to delve in further and explore the vocals and music. On future listens I found myself questioning what it was that interested me so much. The vocals started to actually annoy me the more I listened and the music became bland. 2 Stars!
This flirted with awful to ok. 2*
Was alright
A pretty average album (couple of decent album tracks) with 1 magnificent single on it in "Another Girl, Another Planet" which actually seems pretty out of place on the rest of the album. Basically seems like the person making this list liked that one song so stuck the album on. 2/5 for an average album overall.
Not keen on this. It did not sound very nice going into my ears. It did not sound very nice at all.
Erster Song vielversprechend, Rest durchweg generisch und langweilig, wobei die recht guten gniedeligen Soloparts ziemlich klar den Ursprung meiner Abneigung entlarvten: welch verkackt schnöselig unsympathische Gesangsart/-stimme! spoiled brat gives more than 2.1
I cannot get over this guy's voice. Maybe it's a Danny Brown thing where after you hear it a million times you start to love it, but I'm not going to stick around long enough to find out.
Loved Another Girl, Another Planet. Blink 182 did a cover of it that I loved as a kid. Rest of the album was good, but nothing stood out as great
Niet echt mijn ding, maar was wel luisterbaar
Okay. Mostly.
This would be an easy three-star album for me, except for one thing: the lead singer. I. Just. Can't. With his voice. I know that's a big part of the sound, and it's supposed to be that way, but it immediately grated on me as soon as he started on the first track, and it didn't let up through the end. As such, this very nearly fell into one-star territory, but I'm going to leave it with 2.
is niks
Decent riffs, annoying vocalist
it's okay... im sorry, nothing stuck
Nope. Couldn't do it. The band? Decent enough. That singer? He cant carry a tune in a five gallon bucket strapped to a skateboard. When you hear other punk and post punk bands that can't sing, like, oh I don't know, The Violent Femmes, they at least have some energy and anger and feeling. This guy sounds like he's singing while hailing a cab. Come on man, at least try! Fuck off with this shite. My rating: 1/5.
Not for me. 1/5
Nah. This was bad.
I really hated this. Every time they let that guy open his mouth I was immediately annoyed.
#377/1001. This is supposed to be a punk / power pop masterpiece, but for me it sounds like your distant friends band at a local pub. A lot of effort here, but it all sounds like boring rock in the end.
Not a fan just boring
unlistenable genuinely
Forgettable as fuuuuuuuck. Wtf is this album doing on here I am so baffed, this was beyond dull
bros voice sounds like #d9e00b fave track: another girl, another planet
Just not that impressive.
Eh, it's 70s power pop. It's good, but fairly forgettable. His voice definitely grates on the nerves after a bit.
Tæt på ulidelig vokal. Det kammer helt over på Language Problems. Virkelig ringe. Det kommer jeg nok aldrig til at høre igen. Ikke af egen fri vilje, i hvert fald. Jeg kommer til at give flere 1-taller fremover og forbeholder mig retten til de sjældne 5-taller ud fra tesen om, at det er lettere at lave noget rigtig dårligt, end det er nemt at lave noget fantastisk. Dermed: 1.5
I should like these guys but.... nah
Awful
What the fuck?
Dürftig…
Per niente il mio genere, punk rock, mi ricorda talmente tanto Disney camp rock e avril lavigne che non riesco ad ascoltarlo seriamente, probabilmente devo semplicemente allenare le mie orecchie
Groupe inconnu. Premier constat : j'ai trouvé le chant détestable dès les premières paroles ... Ce qui a éclipsé tout le reste. Jamais plus. =>1/5
I don’t know how to say this other than the vocals were very grating and I didn’t want to listen to it.
ass poo!!!!!!!!!
yeah im not gonna lie that was dogshit
Poop
You stay on this planet, I'm going
1, except for another planet which is great.
Preferred the slower songs but did not particularly enjoy any. Really annoying voices.
I struggled with this and only got half way through before skipping and just listening to a minute of the other tracks. Never heard of the band or the album before and can honestly say I won't be looking them up in the future
Wenn du denkst schlimmer gehts nicht mehr, kommt von irgendwo "The Only Ones" her... Dieses Album hätte ich heute nicht gebraucht. Auch morgen nicht. Eigentlich nie in meinem Leben. Hier holt mich wirklich rein gar nichts ab.
The singer didn't realize he should've called in sick.
Yeah, Nah!
Bro what's wrong with his voice
45
I like the jazziness. The vocals seems like an acquired taste…wtf are these lyrics? At least the songs are short. Another Girl, Another Planet is much better. Still not really my thing. Feels very 70s. The guitar and saxophone are hot
STOP WITH THIS BRIT GARBAGE!!!
While the musicianship is good, the main singers voice is just a bit too much for me. Like nails on a chalkboard at time
ass.
Only a One
English rock/punk band. No hits. Music boring.
awful
Не можах да му издържа на гласа повече от 20 секунди
Nothing happens in the songs. Bland pop rock.
every song sounded the same and they all annoyed me
1. lauu - 1.5 2. planet - 1.5 3. douun - 1 4. City - 1 5. Beast - 1.5 6. Doom - 1 7. Truth - 1 8. Problem - 1 9. Peace - 1 10. Story - 1 11. Lovers - 1.5 12. Peter - 1 13. Wife - 1
This is the two hundred seventh album I’m rating. What is up with all of these weird British albums when they don’t even have basic pop punk albums like A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. Adding to my Playlist - Another Girl, Another Planet, Breaking Down, The Beast, and The Immortal Story. Not Adding to my Playlist - The Whole of the Law, City of Fun, Creature of Doom, It’s the Truth, Language Problem, and No Peace for the Wicked. All in all I liked 4/10 songs. It’s not awful but you could easily replace it with A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out.
Only one star
Mmmm… Nah.
Bullshit
1 star I hate ur voice
Very forgettable.....
Oh dear, what a voice that is. Is it the mix, or does that horrible noise really drown out the entire band? And that's a shame, because the band sounds really good. But since the voice is so dominant, I have to say I can't stand the mix.
Pass
Mediocre at best
God, shitty singer in a 70s punk band. I have heard enough of these. The music at least was a little better than most punk
No, didn’t ignite anything in my world
I don’t like handing out ones but I just couldn’t stand this one
Probably one of the worst voices.
Kann weg.
Not a huge fan
Could barely get through the album
Not gonna lie, this is pretty bad. Nothing really redeemable about this album. Worse than a high school talent show band.
Awful
1.5/5
MIt einem richtigen Sänger hätte es für ** gereicht. Aber so...
Crap
One good song really. Didn’t like it at release, don’t like it now
Did not finish. The vocals suck and it's just not very good
Whiny vocals, boring instruments. Not my favorite band and not something I really enjoyed.
Zeurderig zingen = 1 ster
Great music then the voice intruded.
Hmmmm
just couldn't hack the vocals needed a parasheetamol after that
Only One Star
Only one star. Obvs.
The only one
Aptly named. They must’ve seen the judges’ score cards. With different vocals and lyrics the music would have a chance.
Singers voice is brutal, had to stop. Band wasnt bad but only made it through half a song. 1
Deze band heeft nooit enorme bekendheid kunnen bereiken. Dat verbaast me niet veel. Waar veel albums in deze lijst interessant zijn door de genre fusions , zorgt de overlap van muziekstijlen bij dit album vooral voor irritatie. Deze mannen hadden gewoon een duidelijke richting moeten kiezen. Punk? Rock? Folk? Psychedelica? Meh. Allemaal genres die online genoemd worden, maar ik kan ze er met geen enkele identificeren. Er zat wel potentie in, te horen bij City of Fun en The Beast. Maar ze hadden die slappe zak van een zanger een pepertje of 40 in de reet mogen steken. Of gewoon een echte punker neerzetten. Not impressed. Rating: 4/10
No me es de mi gusto el tipo de vocal que maneja el cantante de la banda, no es para mí solo rescato la canción city of fun
that was one of the worst albums ive heard
bad, singer cannot sing
Didn’t do it for me.
can't stand the vocals.
Can’t listen to this guys voice.
terrible. dude can't sing. sounds drunk.
This one goes into the special folder (the recycle bin).
A boring Album! I don't like the singer and.
This album was borderline unlistenable. Any song that sounded remotely interesting was ruined by the most jarring, inharmonic, flat vocals I have ever heard. Unless the other members of the band had their voice boxes tragically ripped out in a freak accident, there is no excuse for this guy being the lead singer. I have no choice but to believe that this album is on the 1001 list as a control group.
Did the vocalists parents buy him a spot on the band or something?
Ok. Not overly engaging enough to listen to entirely. 👎
As soon as I saw the album cover I knew I was in for a glorious treat. Yet another bunch of British guys doing what the do best, guitar strum alongs with exciting lyrics, interesting guitar passages and explosive beats. A fascinating, enthralling experience from start till end. I was completely charmed from beginning till finish. A very welcome change from all other British pop-folk-psychedelic albums of 1960-1980 from the conception till climax. They truly made something. They sat down and wrote songs and created some musics. I was on the edge of my sit from the onset till termination. Every new song made me feel feelings and experience emotions. Every emotion made me feel things and every feeling made me emotional. From the inception till conclusion. Significant 20/55 Liked 9/55 Added 2/55 No, no, no this album is piss, dont bother.
Cannot rate this low enough.
Truly painful to listen through. Fuck this singer
Gear: DCA ÆON 2 Noire Mix (2008 Remaster): zischend, unangenehm und trotzdem popig-seicht zum blöd werden Musik: gratuitous sax & senseless vocals Wertung: 🎷(🎷)/5
I felt like the album’s potential is entirely overshadowed by the cringe vocals, I could not get into even one song on the album. Swap out for a different singer and it may have earned a couple more stars. I almost stopped listening before the last song, but I powered through, and the last song did, again, disappoint.
Tell the singer to cheer the fuck up
This isn’t my favorite genre of music, and I found the lead singer’s voice kind of unpleasant.
not my thing at all. kinda whiny. did not like.
Not for me. Keeps dragging on.
not a fan
Meh. Capable players, clean production, but lack of melodies combined with Johnny Rotten vocals doesn’t draw continued interest. Graham Parker and the Rumour without the songwriting ability.
The singing is terrible
Artist is talented music was ok and mostly enjoyable. At some point I just was hoping it would end so I could listen to something more upbeat on the drive to work.
I couldn't stand this guy's singing. The only redeeming song was Another Girl, Another Planet. I gave every song a shot, but ended up skipping to the next one quickly. 1.5/5
otetaampa sitaattia, lainausmerkeittäin: ''KIINNOSTAVIA BIISEJÄ EI VOI YKKÖSTÄ ANTAAA ARGH!!! MUSCIANSHIP!! MIKSI!!!! Loppuu latteasti alkaa latteasti.. heh meikäpoika heittää ykköstä silmään..'' nyt lähtee arvio arvostelusta... PASKAA!!!! ei ole millään tavalla kiinnostavia biisejä...täyttä KURAA alusta loppuun...narrien musiikkia ja sillä selvä... off with his head. onneksi huomenna dark side. the whole of the law
KIINNOSTAVIA BIISEJÄ EI VOI YKKÖSTÄ ANTAAA ARGH!!! MUSCIANSHIP!! MIKSI!!!! Loppuu latteasti alkaa latteasti.. heh meikäpoika heittää ykköstä silmään..
The instrumentals are fine, the lyrics are meh, but the vocals, holy shit are they bad. He sounds like Mick Jagger's much shittier younger brother Dick. Absolute rubbish. Ruins the whole album for ya.
This is just crap. 1/5
Didn't find any joy with this one.
I’m not into this
I could have gone the rest of my life without listening to this and never felt like I was missing anything.
I don’t think I can sufficiently express my dissatisfaction with how dull and pathetic those 41 minutes and 53 seconds felt. Perhaps I’m just going through it at the moment, but this nearly made me call my therapist. I don’t even believe in therapy.
not my thing love
I liked No Peace for the Wicked. Good guitars.
Bland and boring.
Ik vond dit nogal vervelend. Vervelende stem ook.
Sounds like they are mouthing the death of their music
People that are 20-30 and look 50 lol. I couldn't get past the first song for this one....my first 0 stars yay.
Damn, girl, it looks like he found you. Time to put another ocean between you and him, and let's hope he drowns this time.
Apart from An other Girl another Planet, I found the whole album a dreary mess
Boo! Not, like "Boo! It's almost Halloween!" This is not an attempt to spook or scare. It is an indictment of The Only Ones. Peter Perrett's voice might be my least favorite so far, encapsulating everything that I find grating and annoying about a certain type of British singer. This thing was all over the place, and rarely in any kind of good way. Boo.
1st time I've heard it probably. Nothing to write home about.
Annoying vocalist. Just okay music. Surprisingly heavy at some parts for a 60s album. Hard pass
Awful
weird mix of late 70s blues rock and early 80s crap i don't like
couldn't get into it
awful
I’m just going to go ahead with it and see what I think is going on with my life and my future self and I don’t think 💭 I’m going anywhere but if you want to go with that then I would like 👍 but I don’t know if it’s just me and you know how it is that makes sense to go to work or not so if I have a job and you don’t want to be working and you don’t want it I just want to be with my life I just don’t know how I feel and I’m just going home and I’m going home and going home and I have a lot to go home to work so I’m going home to sleep now so I’m just going home to get my hair and I just don’t know if I have a little more than that would you know I love to see if I don’t want you to go home to sleep and then I’ll be fine with it doesn’t mean I don’t want you to go home I don’t want you to go to sleep I just don’t know what I just don’t want you can go to sleep well I don’t want you have an easy night and I’ll see what I don’t want you don’t know what to say that you can just let you can just relax I don’t want you got this way you have to do you have to do is just let it be I guess and then I will just keep you in the loop I love and I’ll talk with him I don’t want to talk about anything else just don’t want you know what you need I don’t care I don’t want nothing else I don’t care I don’t want anything else I don’t know I am on drugs
Música fresca y alegre para moverse
