This sort of stuff leaves me cold!

House. But bad.

Was not bothered by this at all, was a waste of time

So fucking awful only got through two songs

God this album is terrible. The only redeeming song is Red Alert. At the end of Same Old Show you can hear an ambulance, which is the artists subtle way of telling you that you'll die by the end of the record and you'll need an ambulance to pick you up

Trashy electronic music. Hated every second I listened to until I decided to stop midway and relieve my ears.

Not my cup of tea

p851. 1999. 1.5 stars Average electronic dance album with zero redeeming features. Background music for every sticky carpeted backstreet student club. Bonus point for Red Alert.

Spotify for some reason couldn’t play all of the songs on this album and I really wasn’t mad about it being over faster.

Monotonous and annoying. Gave me a headache.

I could not finish this. What a waste of a slot my God. Trash. The anti-Pet Sounds if you will.

This album sucks. There's nothing redeeming about it. This is one of those albums you just have to power through.

Rubbish. I’m beginning to have serious doubts in this list.

This is definitively not a Sunday morning album (unless you're still awake at 4am from the previous night). I'm listening to this on a Sunday morning (at 10am with my coffee). It's not quite matching the vibe unfortunately. I certainly was never in a Brixton nightclub in the late '90s, but I imagine it probably sounded something like this. It's not my thing, but there's probably a time and place where it would work. For a positive, I liked the little interludes between some of the songs. Update: I listened to the second half while going for a run, it was a little better that way. Not much though. Favorite song: Stop 4 Love Other: Red Alert 11/19/23

Remember that episode of Friends where Ross plays his “sound” on the keyboard and it’s just a bunch of random sound effects? It’s like that, but not funny and way worse. They should have named it 1001 Albums that make you want to die.

Clanging of spoons on a metal countertop. Horrific.

When this first came up, I listened to 30 seconds of it and couldn't be arsed. Second attempt, I'm struggling to understand why it made the 1001 list, must be quotas for genres. Certain Basement Jaxx tracks (like Red Alert) are great at the right place at the right time; parties, nightclubs... but this, as an "album", nah!

NO

not a huge fan, but then again edm has never really been my thing

Yuck

Yeah this is a no for me Unenergetic club music.

Why do all the electronic albums have to be from the 90s. The style of club techno made the list but I don’t think every electronic album has to be the same kind. This one is alright it’s fun but it feels like a daft punk knock off and tries to be the sound of a sweaty club. Overall it’s not for me and I didn’t care for it. 3.6/10

Hard pass.

The first few songs were really painful. The rest were standard cheesy dance tunes.

Techno - not very good - would not recommend

This is the kind of music they play at the vampire clubs when the DJ who usually plays shitty industrial metal has the night off. I can't listen to this without thinking of dominatrixxx enthusiasts dressed in strap leather grinding on one another in some seedy abandoned warehouse turned club for the night. It just feels gross to listen to and I can't find any redeemable qualities to this. It's repetitive cliche house music nonsense that I don't think I could enjoy even if I was high out of my mind on molly.

This was just weird as heck. I don’t know why we are getting a million weird albums in a row. It’s WEIRD.

Never sure what or how I feel about albums like this. I'll listen closely for a minute and be impressed by the meticulous production and transfixed by the beat. Then another few minutes go by and I'm bored and it goes downhill from there. Not to diminish the effort because I know what it takes/took, but there are no *songs* here - just continuous beats (at best) with no push/pull or resolution. Reading an excerpt from an interview with them they stated that they wanted to make dance music that wasn't devoid of feeling and less robotic. They failed miserably. I felt progressively less-generous the further this album went on and if I felt bad slandering this effort ~5 tracks in, by track 8 I was just pissed. TL;DR: This is maybe ok fine background music for playing video games while eating a bag of chips. I am not playing video games and I am out of snacks. 3/10 1 star.

Wut

This was Jaxxed up not sure what I was listening to was very very bad not even music. .1/5

I listened to three or four songs and knew this wasn't getting any better and stopped. This was very annoying. 0.5/5

With overwhelming evidence, it seems clear that the author of this list is a male born in the early-to-mid 70's, putting his formative musical years squarely in the 1990's. I can think of no other reason for the overrepresentation of 90's techno/ club/ dance records. I understand finding room for Dee-Lite and Ray of Light and some others but he needs to cool it. Especially when it comes to this steaming pile by Basement Jaxx. Dull beats, unimaginative and heavy-handed use of auto-tune lyrics. Nothing we haven't heard before 1000 times. No need at all to hear it, no need for it to be on the list. Zero stars, if it were possible.

Absolutely not

No thanks

This can't be real

Sounds like if Zimos from Saints Row made an album. Terrible.

dafuq

this was fucking shitty

No. No, there's no need for this to be on the list. There's no need for this to BE, in fact. Useless, garbage, boots-and-cats noise. I'd like my hour back, please.

Annoying

Not. For. Me. At all.

This was repetitive, boring and left me cold. Yet another "WTF were the authors thinking when they added this album to the list"? I can think of many other dance oriented albums that should have been on the list instead of this.

Skit

I'll take Red Alert and leave the rest, thanks. There's a reason we don't consume dance music in album form. Especially when it's this dated. If I was on enough drugs to make this hit right, I'd rather be listening to something more silky and fresh anyway.

I remember when this came out. The album art was pretty controversial. Anyway, the music is weird house music. It's too random to be good. I agree with AV Club. It's not revolutionary. It's just meh.

Not for me

beurk

No thanks....not a fan of electronica

did not like

Unerträglich. Braucht keiner.

There is no such thing as good house music, but if there was..... This would still be bad house music.

J'ai passé un très mauvais moment.

beurk

I don't even know what genre this album would be. These songs don't have have any distinctive qualities, good or bad. One step above elevator music.

90s electronic/dance music. Nooope

Awful

not aging well.

Not for me

Not my type of music and nothing grabbed me in the first few songs.

Non lo so. Questa per me è musica da sottofondo. Nessuna traccia mi è davvero rimasta in testa. Non posso dire che mi fa schifo, ma, forse peggio, non mi ha lasciato proprio niente.

There are a few salvageable loops, but mostly a car wreck for me.

Boring dance music. You probably have to be on drugs to get it.

not my cup of tea

90s techno. not for me

Ned so geil 1

Awful. 2/10

I can't listen to this.

might have been good when it came out, but for me now it's completely boring

I hate electronic music. It started terrible, later it was a little more tolerable but that didn't change the first impression.

These albums just dont age well.

I love this album! I got this when it came out and I’m still listening to some of these songs now. Amazing.
