D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

What the actual heck did I listen to? Not the whole album that’s for sure. It’s like jazz, the people most entertained by this album are surely the people who made it. Certainly not me.

I know that must have been cool at and groundbreaking int he 70's, but ow my ears. No thank you.

A collection of pocket dials, drones and tones.

Genuinely don't understand what this was about. If this was a movie or video game soundtrack it would've been completely fine, but its not, and that's the problem. Some of the tracks are interesting but I can't even see it as musical instrumentals. It's just sound. No fave track.

Noise.

its experimental and such but i dont call this music, some of it is literally recordings of people but poorly

experimental, unpleasant random noises

Music for sleep paralysis.

This is not music.

Really make u think.

A terrible effort trying to make music out of random noises, strident voices, and what I assume is the elevator music as you're going down to hell.

Wow. D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle. Where do I start? I really wish the music was as impressive as the album name itself. I can imagine that the people that think that this is a revolutionary album are the very same people that go to "conceptual art exhibitions" and rave about how "the urinal centerpiece moved them". Let's be real here - this album is nothing but noise. It's not even carefully arranged noise that's been used to produce some sort of music or even a melody, it's just a hodgepodge of random sounds that seem to have been recorded by a mere accident. Somebody brought some sort of recording contraption to work, pressed record and then that was that. I'm sorry, but Throbbing Gristle's third and final report most definitely did not make my gristle throb. In fact, by the end of the album, the only realization I had was that this album, along with my gristle, could both have been pronounced D.O.A. as soon as the album started playing.

Fuck off.

One of the worst things I've ever heard. Very occasionally, it sounds like it might turn into something interesting, but the vast majority of the time it's just incoherent noise that doesn't flow, doesn't say much, and is downright weird. Maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough for this, but it gave me absolutely nothing. 1/5.

I found nothing enjoyable, admirable, or redeemable about this. It's just a bunch of noise, talking, yelling, etc.

Can't listen to this shit.

This album made me physically ill to listen to. It's genuinely off-putting. By the time you get to ab/7a you're relieved to hear a little bit of a melody. That's probably because the first half of the album just assaults you with dissonance. I appreciate that this was probably technically harder to accomplish in an analog world but I still hate it.

Let’s keep it in last place. OMG. I can’t believe I wasted time listening to this. Throbbing Gristle in a word is “moist.” Wish I could give negative points but I will settle for 1/5.

No. Just stupid and pretentious. Yes the king is naked and we all see it, stop it with your alternative takes on art that are shit to begging with

Won't ever get back the 40 minutes spent on this album. Hard for me to find anything to like about this difficult to listen to album. 1 star

What a noise

Not much to say.

Put me in the list of folks that doesn't understand this. AB/7A is the only track that actually sounds like a song and is fine. I also found United in its slowed down state (as opposed to the 16 second version), but it nothing too noteworthy. Certainly a challenging listen and nothing that i could understand revisiting.

Ruidos aleatorios. Insufrible. Lástima que no se pueda dar un 0.

This is by far the worst album I've listened to in this project. This isn't music so much as it's ethereal mumbling and randomness. I can see why some might call it music, but I disagree. Wish I could give this a full 0.

It's not the worst of the avant garde this experience has offered, mainly noise and not all atonal or shouty. But it's still a 1.

When I read the reviews I was expecting the worse and it was slightly above that

Sorry but I do not appreciate your music. Say one good thing: I’m trying but I don’t know

garbage noise

Unlistenable

Wtf. Why is this album on this list? It literally sounds like a 2 year old hitting random keys on a keyboard with industrial sound effects. Yes, some might fight me for this, I don't care, this is not music.

unohti laittaa musiikkia tähän albumiin.. kivaa aa rsmr kontenttia silloin tällöion. varmaan on joku tarinoiden tarina tämän takana viiden tähden arvosta mutta en tykkää industrial vitun kling klangatuksesta hamburger lady.... on a

In September of 2019 I had an abscess in one of my front teeth. Even the slightest breeze wisping past my tooth caused immeasurable pain and I couldn’t speak or eat for 2 days. After emergency root canal surgery (which left me £360 lighter) my face looked like I’d been beaten with a bar of soap in a sock. I was woozy and in agony for a further three days. I would gladly repeat all of that rather than have to listen to a single second of this record ever again. One star because while I was listening to it my son farted and it made me laugh.

What the hell was this mess? I mean seriously, this sounded like a 2000s noise rock album. How is this even considered music? It was just noises. Its albums like these that me want the music industry to have a test and make sure potential musicians can actually make music, and not noise. Really, I hate this album! I'd rather listen to Lady Gaga than this again.

Awful

This album should be a litmus test for music critics: if you recommend this, it's clear you've lost the plot. There's nothing Important or Significant about it at all. It's just garbage. Best track: AB/7A is the closest thing to a song you can find on this thing

Waiting for this album to start was like waiting to get on the Internet in the ‘90s. The only difference is waiting to get onto the Internet in the ‘90s sounded way better than this album.

This was one of the worst things I've ever heard.

You know, I'm about a year into this, listening to albums every day even on weekends. I've listened to a LOT of stuff through this. I was beginning to worry I was becoming jaded as more and more of my scores gravitate towards 3 and I add less and less songs from these albums to my playlist for future listening. This album came along and blew right through that hard outer shell I'd been forming like an atom bomb. I hate this album. It's terrible. Just dogs***. Abysmal. Not one second was enjoyable. It came on, immediately filled me with frothing hatred, and only whipped that hatred to further and further frenzied heights as it continued. Thank you, Throbbing Gristle, for giving me a fresh answer for when my friends ask what the worst album I've listened to through this project is. And I hope your inadequacy will help me to be a kinder listener to future albums because hey, at least they're not you.

No need to listen to this one again. Experimental sounds, interesting at times but not much there.

Not art, not music, not clever. No stars.

This is noise rock... I really hate this experimental crap.

I’m sure there’s a reason to put noise on this list but it escapes me.

Ouch. Not for me. I didn't get it at all. Tried my best, but this was a complete chore to complete. I know some people like it, but they are people we shouldn't associate with.

This album is an insult to anyone and anything who can produce and hear sound.

What the fuck was that?

I bought this album from the cutout bin by mistake when I was in middle school because I thought it was an album by the hardcore band D.O.A. 35 years later, I still haven't been able to make it all the way through this record.

Pure noise. Shocked it's on this list.

0.01 just random noise

1/5 Best song: None D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle Sind einfach nur random Geräusche die einen leichten Elektro vibe geben dad lied befindet sich nur in 1001 Gen weil es in Amerika Einfluss hatte weil es zu dem Zeitpunkt dort nichts vergleichbares gab im Deutschland gab es schon ein Jahr davor Kraftwerk also ist das hier unhörbar

…this, isn’t music???? Baffled

No.

Wow, that is one of the worst albums I’ve ever listened to.

Well.

I hated that.

What?

Look, I'm not really an opponent of the avant-garde. I can get down with some weird, experimental shit more than your average Joe. but I have my limits.

This was absolutely unbearable. I'm not being a snob when I say I don't even think it was music, it was just noise, worse than even Serge Gainberg...

I think there's something wrong with my headphones. They seem to be making random, nonsensical noises.

I get it but I don’t. It’s cool but it’s lame. New but old? Smart and clever.. dumb and accidental. Interesting I guess. I want to understand but then again I just want my next album. Cool thanks for the wrench in the mix

Tentando entender até agora porque alguém deveria ouvir isso antes de morrer, podem passar muito bem sem essa! Que merda, nem aguentei ouvir tudo. Credo!

If you want to know what chaos magic sounds like, look no further. [Quite literally, look into it] By the Emperor, this album is heresy.

What a crock of shit

Not for me

This is a new low for this app. If you even give this album 2 stars I don't know if I can ever take you seriously again. I think this might be the worst album I have ever listened to and that's saying something. 0/10 FUCK YOU

Maybe I’m pea brained but this was so stupid. I couldn’t imagine going to the record store, spending your hard earned cash on the new throbbing gristle album, going home, and listening to this for 45 minutes straight

Personne n'a vraiment compris pourquoi Robert a envoyé cet album dans le générateur il y a quelques semaines. Vous savez d'ailleurs que pour ajouter un album à la liste des 1001, notre ami Robert doit en enlever un autre, c'est la règle. Et ce petit farceur a de plus en plus tendance à enlever des albums récents que j'affectionne particulièrement pour les remplacer par des bouses comme celles-ci. J'espère pour lui qu'il n'a pas touché à Justin Timberlake sinon ça va très, mais alors très mal se passer...

Cet album est la preuve vivante que les extraterrestres existent et ont bel et bien tenté de communiquer avec nous. Seulement, après 45mn d'enregistrement, on en sort comme on est venu: on n'en sait pas plus sur ces êtres saugrenus.

These 5 star reviews gotta be trolling right? 1

detta var piss

weird a little 1\5

Mmm. Godfathers of industrial. It was made to disturb. As an art project I think its a 4/5 but it would need context. As an album of music it's a 1.

Lamb chops

Terrible

Fuck off. Art school wankery.

What the actual fuck?

Is this music? Just bad start to finish.

Horrible just noise
