tout le mode l'avait oublié celui là et à juste titre

Siwang.

Horrible!

this album was insulting i could not bare to listen to it at any volume higher than the lowest possible one… just no.

abrasive and terrible vocals? check. noisy and distorted music without any logical direction? check. rotten low-fi production? check. unmemorable and poorly-constructed songs? check. overall painful to literally listen to let alone get through? check. 1 star rating? checkmate. 1/10 1 star.

No Bueno

Doet me niks, en staat niet op Spotify.

Hmm. Not sure about this one. Not enough of any one thing to leave an impression. Yeah, it's dark and edgy and distorted, but it's like an easy listening version of metal? Is that what garage/noise rock is? I don't really care for or about this one. In one ear and out the other. Put something from Pharmakon on this list instead, preferably Bestial Burden. Favorite tracks: Getting Bright at Night. Album art: Kinda cool, kinda gross? Not sure what I'm looking at, aside from it being someone's side profile. 1.5/5

Really not that great. Couldn't wait for it to end. 1/5

TERRIBLE 😵‍💫

The chances that they pull themselves out of whatever hole they're in without some grippier tunes: low. The chances that they accidentally bury themselves under their own despairing noise muck: worryingly high. In need of a hook and a new outlook.

Noise metal? No, it’s just noise.

Not on my watch.

This is grim.

Noisy, boring

ya ni me acuerdo creo q era re fome

Another new album - and artist - on me. Seems to have a lot of rock tropes within its tracks - Spike Island feels like a US take on U2/JAMC. I don’t mind the overall sound in small doses, but on first listen the lyrics didn’t really grab me and the voice seemed to fit well without having much individuality. The Suicide-inspired Meatmaker is the most interesting track but also the most different from the rest of the album. Overall, the sort of thing I want to like more than I actually do.

Up Against the Wall Motherfucker as the opening track suggests that this isn't an easy listening album. I rather wish it was. I HATE rock music and all the macho posturing that goes with it. I put the kettle on before I made it t the end of Motherfucker. I had a much more enjoyable experience drinking my hot tea in silence.

Unlistenable

2000 Generic

Oh really? this sounds like a willfully obscure post-hardcore band much like any other. Alan Moulder mix helps it sound a little better than many. But, I mean, really, this album was barely released, and is not even on spotify at present. How is this a "must hear" album? I mean, they rock. And I'm sure they are heap of sweaty fun live... but this is really a stretch. All attitude and no songs (exception: Kiss Like Lizards)..

Pretty monotonous. Trying too hard to be the Stooges, so I'll just listen to the Stooges.

More noise than anything. Would not listen again

The fact I had to check to make sure there wasn't something wrong with the car while listening to this says it all I feel

cant stand one star.

1/5 not my cup of tea at all...

Crap - Unlistenable shite.

Garbage. Alternative rock but boring, screaming, noisy, etc. 2/10.

Not for me

Llegué a la rola #4 y adiós.

i don't get it

Too heavy for me... Didn't get past the 1st song

Not into it
