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

weird mix of late 70s blues rock and early 80s crap i don't like

couldn't get into it

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
