Reviews (page 8 of 8)
It likely I'm just not educated enough in music to get this, but the top review talks about discovering keyboard samples on your cassio keyboard and that's all I can hear now
A survey. The taut and tame.
Ik mis de tekst. Het is saai. Daarnaast is 20 minuten erg lang voor een nummer. Je moet er maar van houden.
Never heard of Tortoise before today. Upon further research, it became clear as to why I hadn't heard of them. They are a "post rock" band. I was unsure of what the hell that meant, so I researched it a bit. From what I can gather, it is a genre that includes rock style guitars, which are overlaid with shitty electronica music. Fuck sakes, not more obscure electronica garbage... Yes, more electronica garbage. This stuff is perhaps one of the worst helpings of electronica that I've heard thus far. I don't hear the "rock guitar" part, what I hear is static, screeching noises, xylophones, and distorted bass notes...all mixed together in a big shitty mess...and that's just the first song. Also, the first song is....21 MINUTES LONG!!! Why?!? I spent this entire record waiting for something to happen....they had 43 minutes, and NOTHING DID....AT ALL.... Overall, a garbage record, made by a band that sounds like Walmart brand Tool meets up with a game show host. I will never listen to this trash again, and am beginning to wonder who the hell created this list? Obviously someone obsessed with electronica music and obscure British bands, because this has absolutely no reason to be on this list. Favorite song: Along the Banks of Rivers....I guess??? Least favorite songs: Djed, and the rest of this dumpster fire of a record. 1/5
Another album with a 20+ min song except this time it sounds like they've just slapped together a load of random sounds. Perhaps this was ground breaking in 1996 but it didn't hold up. I didn't even enjoy it as background music.
A colossal waste of time.
Se me hace bola(PSP) Me parece muy acertado el comentario, de hecho no aguante hasta el final (ONB)
why is the first song 20 minutes long? that’s all
I remember me and the guys playing random warm up riffs while we were tuning our kit up... but that was back when I was 15 at school... I never thought of putting an album together of those random riffs... and people would pay money for this! I just don't get it, yes it's easy listening, its just a random miriad of soft sounds, or put you to sleep sounds moreso, but wouldn't even come into my thoughts for a choice of listening.
Shite
It’s the kind of music you put on at a party when you want your guests to say “What the f$&k is this?”
I like lyrics in my music
Vaya M
What it sounded like to get a massage in 1996 without a happy ending.
First song bad/stressy. Other songs kinda background music-y.
Other than seeing the length of track one I have no idea here hope I enjoy it. The album starts with the song Djed it’s a few minutes short of being half of the entire album ( 21 minutes) it’s very off putting as it’s this really slow building instrumental which kinda lives and breathes throughout. Unlike other long songs I’ve herd on this it doesn’t have any mind blowing stand out moments,actually, the only way I would recommend it is maybe for like study being a really long instrumental. That’s still kinda what I think but then there is the second ten minutes it sounds much, much more interesting and is more a distinct track of it’s own , it’s a harder listen and not really “ study music” like the first half but it’s just better y know; then the third part around 14 minutes in is even harder to listen too stranger and so much more distinctive, I still don’t really like the track but I respect it. There are some other little bits at the end but not much to note. Next is glass museum it’s got a really interesting sound to it the song is mainly this sorta cool instrumental but breaks off intro distinct sections from time to time I still don’t really like instrumental tracks though. Now is the song A survey it’s much shorter but so dull in an album that I don’t really like already. Then it’s the taut and the tame which has this really cool tapping noise in the background kinda like a horse galloping to me. Then it goes in order for normal drums and electronic sounds and just what a way to ruin a cool song. Dear grandma and grandpa is very short for this album it’s quite cool but nothing to change my thoughts on the album. The album end’s with along the banks of rivers it’s well boring to be blunt. The term post rock sounds so cool but when you know what it is it’s so so dull and I wouldn’t even get why anyone would want to make such generally boring music. It’s worse than my one 1/5 so far so I’ll have to give it that.
Nothing like starting an album off with a 20 minute long song. This was not for me...seemed like a glorified jam session for most songs
This is not something anyone really needs to listen to.
This is absolute torture.
Zzzzzzzz
I get it. I get it. I get it. You make experimental music, someone has to listen to it. Dear Grandma and Grandpa seems indulgent. I wonder if they broke out the bubly when they listened to it. Djed was OK for some parts, not OK for the most part. I've spent less time doing my taxes than the length of this song. How/where do you listen to this song? What's a situation where you want time to go on and on? The last 30 seconds of an NBA game? Yeah, it's like the last 800 hours of an NBA game, then. It should be broken down into 16 different songs because I don't know that any parts related to each other. Finally, this album, it seems, will never die.
Instrumentals are cool but not my style of music to listen to for fun.
1.5 i don't get it. its just a bunch of noise, like the band felt they needed to use eveyr sound they could think of. its too bad too cause in the middle of some of these songs there's good ideas but they never go anywhere and instead are replaced by something boring or trite.
Guess I’m not that familiar with “post rock” but what the fuck was that?
*weird noises *probably made around the time before djs so experimenting with new tech and sounds
Not a fan.
Not my thing at all
No sé qué decir.
