Sincere

Started off absolutely hating this but it grew on me. I never got into UK Garage, finding it too soft for my likes but this does have some nice grooves to it and is definitely enhanced by Elisabeth Troy's singing on some of the tracks.

Average! Liked a couple of tracks.

6/10. xkcd.com/411

Good garage album, enjoyable but would not necessarily go out of my way to listen again

The bitch killed the vibe. Lovely voice but it just doesn't fit the music. Easy to listen to despite the length. "Bandelero Desperado" is by far the best.

pretty decent garage album, some of these songs would be sick samples for breakcore tracks gonna relisten to this again but some of these songs are genuinely so smooth i am in love hold on to me re-dub and radio interlude are real nice 3.5/5

Fine, but not my favorite genre.

Some nice funky chill and some tracks to skip

Best Song: Sincere. I like the slow jam atmorphere here. Worst Song: You're Mine. The presence of the female vocals throughout the album led me to believe that she was here to stay. Removing her just made this track feel like it was missing something. Overall: Music that is unexciting, but might also not be designed to excite. Relatively simple, straightforward, vocal-dominant electronic. At times it feels as though it's trying really hard to be soulful, and not always landing.

Interesting. Nothing that compels me to listen again though

Chill but same-y

Solid soul sound

Another beats album for over an hour…completely unnecessary

Not bad, but just not my preferred of style of garage/Drum & Base.

boardy vibes

This was actually a bit better than I was expecting. Not amazing, but better than a lot of the other electronica albums I have listened to. The songs actually manage to be interesting and aren't way too long. My favourite songs were Rough Out Here, Hold On To Me, and Free My Mind.

Un bon album de salon de coiffure house. Celui-ci commence par une attente assez courte sur le canapé proche de la porte. On est ensuite pris en charge par Jessica qui vient nous enfiler une blouse puis nous shampouine avec beaucoup de délicatesse. On s'installe ensuite devant le miroir et explique à celle-ci comment on va les couper avec l'aide d'une photo de Robbie Williams. Jessica se met alors au travail et nous pose des questions de plus en plus intrusives : "Ca va ? Ca fait combien de temps que tu les as pas coupés ? Tu mets de la cire dans tes cheveux ou pas ? Hein ? Alors ? Tu réponds oui ou merde ?!" Elle nous montrera ensuite l'arrière de notre tête puis nous fera enfin payer. C'était pas trop tôt.

Some fun edm, it definitely has its moments although an hour of it is a bit much

Some decent tracks. I've never been a big fan of UK garage/UK-style house, and even if this is a landmark record of the genre, it still doesn't really resonate with me.

Fun, appealing dance music. I’m not sure I’d be able to pick MJ Cole’s style out of a lineup of other DJs / producers but this is solid music for dancing or working out. The back half gets a little more eclectic. There’s some moody, atmospheric numbers and the disco-soul of “Rough Out Here” was a pleasant surprise.

Very cool drum n bass rnb record. I enjoyed it. Production was fresh (for a 22 year old album), performances were cool. Hard to try to break it down and understand what was done "in the box" and what wasn't but maybe that's more fun to not know what was sampled and what wasn't. I think drum n bass deserves some spots on this list but I question whether this is one of the best ever. 3/5 for me!

Fun to listen to

срез нулевых

way tooo long as an album with repeated songs. sounded like something from the late 90s and I was almost right

Not really my thing - but not bad

Not really my jam

This genre is right up my street usually. Unfortunately a bit distracted to take it in fully. Some good tracks but still only worthy of 3*

An easy background listen

First 4 tracks I was "WTF?" but it really kicked in after that. Brave move putting out a 2 hour album, but it worked.

Genre: 2-Step 3/5 Well, go figure, another white DJ trying his best to insert himself into the culture a la David Holmes. This time, though, it's done with a bit more class, and a lot better production and songwriting. 2-Step, somewhat of a continuation of the UK garage and house music fads that swept the 90s, is part-techno, part-hip hop/neo soul. Plenty of talented vocalists, all lesser known in the broad world of music, lay down some decent performances over what are essentially more ambient, more thought-out breakbeat tracks. The title track, Sincere, was a moody, sensual track with some neat vocal sampling and good arrangements and production. Attitude was another interesting song early in the setlist that piqued my interest, but lasted a little longer than necessary. A lot of the tracks on here, enough to run for a 67-minute span, are somewhat stale representations of a genre that sounds like it has ample room for experimentation. Others are just blatant trip-hop ripoffs that sound stolen from old Massive Attack projects. A bit stale as a whole, but not bad, fairly inoffensive, and easy to listen to.

Some really good tracks, some howlers.

Important: seek out the album proper and ignore the additional mixes tacked on the end of the collection after about track 16 (free my mind). Inoffensive and very well produced UK Garage. Quite mellow. Excellent singing by Elisabeth Troy. I am surprised to say i like this. Sincere (the song) is well known and a club classic. Definitely a 3, but although early UK Garage and influential, probably not a 4. Enjoyable enough.

Nope

Middle of the road UK garage? I didn't mind this so much and particularly enjoyed Sincere and Crazy Love. Slum King as well. This is firmly a 3.5 for me.

Eh, I didn't like UK garage at the time, and this hasn't converted me. At least it didn't actively piss me off, which some of the genre definitely did back in the day. Fave track - "Rough Out Here", but maybe that's cheating as it's a straight ahead soul track, not very garagey. "Slum King" sound amusingly like it could come from "People Just Do Nothing" 😆

Lekkere beat. Vooral mooi die combinatie met de piano, wat dan weer dat klassieke randje aan het geheel geeft. Ik houdt er wel van. Lekkere zang ook. ***

3/5 okeyish, but ultimately no.

Enjoyed it

Did not know this album in advance. It sounded quite dated, usually I am fine with that and also in this case.. ..it is certainly an album I would not mind listening to again (it sounds great, especially over headphones). On the other hand, it can easily be replaced by any other solid dance/house UK album from that period. So, hard to see why it is included on the list.

Very Dimitri from Paris.

A nice enough album. It launched UK Garage apparently, though I don’t think UK Garage got played much in the clubs on this side of the pond, but what do I know, I’m 62. As I’m sure I’ve said before this type of music not well-suited for the LP format, it’s all about the singles, but I think you could say that about a lot of 60s albums as well.

yeah it was fine

Not what I expected

This was an enjoyable album, with a housey-jazzy-R&B vibe. I gather from some of the reviews that this album prefigured a lot of UK garage music, but it feels a little dated to me, coming out all the way in 2000. I still like it for the most part. It would have been better had he just let the singers sing and done less chopping up of the vocal pieces. Fave Songs: You're Mine, Crazy Love, Rough Out Here

Chill album, EDM, not too memorable

Variadito, pero secon.

This isn't completely classic in terms of British garage I feel... it's not exactly banger after banger but more sinks into the background. I guess there isn't really such a thing as great garage albums as people aren't creating garage for album purpose but more single bangers for the club. I actually still really enjoyed the whole album to work to as it does inspire focus and productivity haha, but it's not classic enough for a 4. I didn't find any tracks particularly exciting or special really.

I would say I'm glad I hear this and liked the title track Sincere - but I wouldn't listen to a lot of it again. I respect it though!

Had never heard of them. I like it. Some great grooves here.

-Some nice flows and catchiness in "Bandelero Desperado" -"Rough Out Here" is pretty solid. I like that it is pretty upbeat and not as repetitive, and the singing is great -"Free My Mind" is nice but also pretty repetitive

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Introduction, Tired Games, Crazy Love, You're Mine, Hold On To Me Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: This website's user base is always incredibly dismissive of electronic music which I attribute to the daily nature of this generator making it so people on workdays can't just bob around and vibe to an album. These songs kinda need to be experienced in an environment completely separate from the workplace (hence all the drugs that fly around at raves). All that to say that even if this wasn't my favorite electronica album I don't think this is the 20th worst album in this entire generator as the masses have deemed it at the time of the writing of this review. Giving it a 3 for agenda pushing purposes even though if I'm being entirely honest it's probably more of a 2 (again, UK Garage isn't especially my thing).

Felt like going to the house party of someone outside your friend group.

Some of this is great and some is not for me at all

Good background music for a chill party or something like that.

House music huh. Feeling the dancefloor groove.

Also enjoyable

really enjoyed this! it was a tad repetitive but it’s clearly an influential album and i completely get the appeal. elisabeth troy murdered those vocals i loved every track she was on

OG British garage /dub. Never knowingly heard any of this guys tracks before. Bandelero Desperado sounded like the birth of garage/jungle. Definitely paved the way for Chase & Status, even Dizzee Rascal and early grime etc. Actually really enjoyed it tbf. 3/5, cos it doesn't sound classic enough to be a 4

meh

Weird album, but I liked some of the beats/vocals.

This was Ok, pretty good even, but I did kind of find myself tuning it out into the background.

Dance tranquilo. Buena rítmica

Ambiente. Soul. Muy largo.

Digging this one actually. Been kinda into early 2000s/late 90s house music and this fits the bill.

Early garage beats..... good listen!

Sorry. Two hours of this did not seem like what I wanted to do. Maybe I’m missing out on hidden treasure. Maybe I’ll revisit. But this did not hit.

Huh this was a weird addition to the list. I didn't hate it but I didn't get it lol. The 90s were weird I guess.

2 hours of intensely boring R&B? Nah, I'm good.

Meh

Yeah whatever kind of electronic music this is just isn’t for me

Almost 20 years ago when going to the mall was still a thing, my oldest niece was just entering her teenage years and was obsessed with Abercrombie & Fitch. So every birthday and Christmas - being the good aunt that I am - I would suck it up and walk into the Abercrombie & Fitch store at the King of Prussia mall (which was right near my office) and buy her some clothes. When I walked into the store, I immediately felt my age because this loud electronic, very repetitive music would be playing. I tell this story, because I can't be certain I've never heard any of these songs. In fact, I believe I heard them during those trips to Abercrombie & Fitch! As I listened to this album, that's all I could think of.... this should be playing in either a club, a store that I don't shop in anymore, or a hipster coffee house. I feel like I've already gotten several EDM albums on this list, so I'm a bit concerned about how many must ultimately be on here. As I've said before, not my genre at all, so I have no idea how to judge this. But this particular album is really, really repetitive and really, really long. I also could find very little information on it that would indicate it is somehow groundbreaking or had a major impact on the UK garage/house music scene. Just not my thing.

Nothing makes sense in this album and it is painfully long. There’s literally nothing redeeming about this.

I love dance music, and I don’t think this is good.

For the 2nd day in a row, I am getting quite repetitive and boring 90s club music. This might be slightly worse than the one yesterday though. I couldn't even finish it before work and not tempted too much to listen to this again. Get off the list

Olin aluksi että nice, kivaa talo-teknoo. Sitte alko ärsyttään, miks pitäny ”pilata” ylimääräsellä huutelulla/laululla ”Yyeah yyeah”

*2000. House music. *I can tolerate this for like 1-2 songs, then I'm done. *Did not finish. Will not finish. RATING - 4/10

Dit is dus uitgebracht in 2000, maar het voelt enorm als early 90s of zelfs eind 80s, met al die bubblegum RnB-zangers en zangeressen. Waar mj cole dan continu hetzelfde beatje onder zet. Dan is het toch al gedateerd op het moment dat het uitgebracht wordt, of is dat het hele idee van de stijl? Ergens is het best relaxed, maar ik vind het ook erg langdradig. Zeker als ik alleen maar de deluxe versie kan vinden, die nog langer is. Sorry, daar zit ik allemaal niet zo op te wachten. Dit gaat een lange zit worden, dus ik zet hem heel zachtjes en ga wat anders doen. 2 sterren voor de gedateerde moeite

A tough listen. Not easy to get through. 3.7/10

First Listen Favorites: Bandalero Desperado Sanctuary Hold On To Me Honorable Mention: You're Mine

There are good moments in here, but I just don't really vibe with this type of music. I'm always on the verge of getting a headache from this style of beat. I didn't get a headache, but I didn't find myself enjoying any full tracks.

Na 3 nummers had ik al genoeg van die garage beats. Misschien zijn op een festival sommige nummers nog wel leuk, maar de artiest heeft geprobeerd om er een verkoopbaar album van te maken en zangers/zangeressen voor gevraagd die ik zeer matig vond. Een heel album van dit vind ik wat veel.

I don't enjoy listening to it, but I have a deep appreciation for the talent it takes to make electronic music. That being said, this wasn't some of the strongest I ever heard. Very repetitive, nothing unique or crazy going on. Songs with lyrics were very simple. But it wasn't offensive.

It's a bit odd this is in the book given the lack of critical acclaim and the fact that garage was so very of it's time. I'm not really aware it had any popularity save for a year or 2 in the UK, did this kind of music get any traction elsewhere at all?? Anyway it's not bad, garage is not my thing but the beats land and I can see how people enjoy this type of thing in a nightclub.

Boring and repetitive dance music, and every song is at least three minutes too long. Generic as hell and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a list like this

Mislim da sam prije čula jednu pjesmu s ovog albuma ali za svaku pjesmu sam pomislila da je to baš ta koliko su skoro identične.

Repetitive and kind of boring. A very subdued electronic album, which never really goes outside of it's comfort zone. 2/5 Won't listen again

Yawn.

Long and not nemorable at all.

Embassy Suites-ass music.

I generally appreciate garage and other similar styles of edm, but over an hour? The vocals didn't do it for me and only one or two songs stood out.

Meh.

Yes, it's very long and repetitive (par for the course and forgivable), but it's also completely undanceable and boring. 1.5/5.0: Bad

The album opened with a bright piano riff, but then electronic beats come in. Ugh. Then a sultry voice. By the end, I was ok with it. One or two songs later, some hip hop with electronic beats. So, though this is not in my interest area, there is enough variation to hold my interest, so far. Update: This grew more tedious as it progressed.

automatic gear selector-tor-tor-tor

Listened to this all the way through (including some stuff that may have been Special Edition nonsense because the track listing was a bit messed up) and all I could think was "this sounds like music they'd play in a restaurant with chic industrial decor that charges $70 for a tiny meal."

I remember buying this album. I thought garage was cool at the time. Sincere is a decent track. I think the problem with this album is being confined to a certain sound. It just doesn’t work. I don’t understand the genre. Is it trying to update house music without a thumping groove. I think that’s why this album falls flat. There isn’t a real groove to any of the songs. They try but fail. Plus all the bad singing

I vibed but nothing special.

Pas fameux.

Why is an album of cafe dance mix tape on a list of 1001 albums you must listen to before you die? 🙄

Wasn’t bad but certainly wasn’t good

😠 bad

Sigh. Not bad. Not good. Mid.

5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background

Not my genre, not my decade

Nice music, but only good for a beach bar.

Yes I like electronic music fine, but it's not that good

It's an OK album. I'm not a big techno fan, so wasn't a hot for me. It is somewhat relaxing and might be good to put on while reading a book or something.

Can't tell if this was one long boring song, or a collection of several all sounding the same.

There are some interesting gems hidden in a sea of noise and silliness. The first part of album 1 made me angry, which is no way to start your morning. Not for me Clive.

Background music that would have been playing too loud at Abercrombie or Express in the early 2000's. Something the kids shopping there never actually heard of but it made them feel cool. Now, its just a little boring and repetitive. Its not unpleasant but doesn't really keep me interested.

As I have stated before, one of the things I like about doing the 1001 albums is a chance to hear things that are not on my radar, even if I don’t happen to like them. However, this album still has me scratching my head as to its inclusion on this list. I am pretty sure I could have shuffled off this mortal coil without regret without having heard this one. Nothing unpleasant, but completely innocuous music here. Weirdly starts out with mostly hose tunes, then switches abruptly about 2/3 of the way through to a poor man’s Marvin Gaye with the songs Rough Out Here” and “Slum King”, which I actually found to be two of the better tracks on the album. Docked a star for not editing himself — this goes on entirely too long. Unfortunately this is often a characteristic of albums released in the 90’s and 2000’s; vinyl limited an artist to at most 45 minutes whereas CDs can go for much longer. I mean, why express yourself concisely in 45 minutes when you can now express yourself indulgently in 65 minutes?

2-step isn't really “my thing”, but it's not actually that bad either, so I'll give it 2 stars...

Feels technically proficient but just kinda dull. Probably good if it's your jam but doesn't really land.

It probably takes a lot of effort to sound this generic and forgettable. But let's remember a lot of people liked this sort of music and its offspring, the Café del Mar series. Saturated consumerism, oblivious to the world in the worst possible way.

This is fine. This is the kind of stuff we all danced to around the turn of the century. I don't recall ever hearing these particular songs, or if I did, hearing anyone ask whose song it was. And isn't it the guest vocalists who add the quality here, not the beats? Am I being unfair? Four on the floor is fun, whatever form.

Ok listening for a little bit but I didn’t finish the album.

Forgettable house/garage/club music with generic R&B vocal stylings. Great for strolling the boutique hotel lobby or maybe cleaning the house. The lyrics are kind of on the cringe side, the music would probably be better without any vocals at all.

Not sure why this one’s even on the list

Never heard of album or band. Low expectations because I don’t like dance music. Piano is cool Ont he first song. Rest is pretty generic dance. Never heard a dance song that didn’t have absolute bullshit vocals. Fired games is a lot better. Cool production and actually good vocals. Cool sounds. I don’t like attitude. Just doesn’t hit. I just hate how restive dance songs are. And they always make them 5+ mins even tho it’s the same riff repeating 100 times. Pianos ok on bandelero. Not much thought behind it tho. More bullshit lyrics. I actually like the interlude a lot. Most normal song yet. Crazy love is ok. The songs with this Elizabeth lady are way better than the ones without her. You’re mine is fine. I like the vocals and the production is pretty good it’s just not my style. Back to bullshit with sanctuary. Another piano on I see that seems to have 0 thought behind it. Just hitting random keys and looping it. Don’t like the drums in this one. I can’t believe there’s still 7 songs. 0 chance I listen to 1 second of disc 2. More of the same with sincere. Just the same bs on loop. And considering this is what Apple says is the most popular song I think I’ve heard enough. It’s the exact same as the rest. I have a score in mind but I will tough it out til the end. I actually like the strings a lot on strung out. Apt name. Finally a little variety. Background production is still generic. Rough out here is kind of a banger I can’t lie. Great strings and horns. Great production. Back to bullshit with slum king. Pretty good production bullshit lyrics. Much more usable piano on hold on to me. Cool horns again. Not wicked long either which I like. This is a fun song. Free my mind isn’t bad either. The best songs on this album are the first interlude and the songs that are way more pop than dance. I’m glad it’s over I’m not going to lie. Even the good songs were only good because they were surrounded by nothingness. Don’t waste your time. 2/5. JAA.

Generic music, fine as background, nothing particularly compelling. But not unpleasant

I always forget how heavily UK-focused this list is until I see stuff like this.

some of this is really ok but the repetition made me want to claw my ears off. So much repetition....

I understand this came out in 2000 but in 2026 you can find hundreds of albums in this vein of music on youtube, they come out all the time. Even before 2000 though you had Metalheadz and Good Looking Records. Just not sure why this is on here.

Ha sido un poco insufrible. Suena bien y las voces elegidas son muy buenas, pero creo que ha envejecido mal. Me he guardado "I see".

If I was in high school and there was a girl I was trying to bed - she's not really pretty but not quite repulsive, slutty without being fun about it, far too much makeup and perfume that makes you gag a little. Vapid and dull, not smart, but a reasonable body and maybe I can hit it and she at least acknowledges me. So I go to the mall and some terrible store like Hot Topic with overpriced trash and salespeople that are condescending and inattentive without any reason for feeling superior to me but that is somehow the dynamic so I buy some stupid thing the girl wort like anyway and the whole time I'm in said store this album is playing at full blast also max AC like the store is actively telling me to fuck off. So I get to her place and she's on the phone and says she's going to do step aerobics but I can hang out if I want and she's listening to this album while I boredly look at her ass and realize how fruitless this endeavor is and smoke a bowl and pass out only to wake up after she left with someone else and my head aches and this is still playing and I realize what terrible choices I am prone to making.

I don't want my 2 to be misconstrued. I don't have the interest or knowledge to judge. I just don't care.

1.7 So it turns out I fucking hate Jungle. 70 minutes of absolutely boring shite. I find it confusing as there are trace elements in other electronic acts I like but jesus Christ that was an ordeal. The only song I could sit through and not get annoyed was the title track. Surely this isn't the best that jungle has to offer? His listen count on Spotify tells you all you need to know.

A couple instances where the music sounded decent, but overall very repetitive and just not for me.

really not a fan of this vibe of music

Realmente no entiendo por que fue agregado a la lista de 1001 álbumes que toda persona debería escuchar. No me parece un album irreproducible, ni tampoco me pareció molesto (sus canciones no son pesadas). Pero me parece que es un álbum para poner de fondo durante el día o para simplemente bailar en una fiesta. Concuerdo con alguien del foro de que los momentos buenos de las canciones muchas veces se ven opacados por voces desagradables. Único album de esta lista el cual no escuche completo (en realidad si lo escuché pero dejandolo de fondo y sin prestar mucha atención a la última parte) Quizás se me esté escapando el contexto o su relevancia para el género, pero no le encuentro sentido para pertenecer a esta lista. En mi forma de puntuar le pondría un 40/100 porque hay canciones que sorprenden por momentos.

4/10

I thought I might enjoy this...turns out I got reaaaallly bored.

UK was a big thing around the early 2000s with MJ Cole being one of the big pioneers of the scene with sincere the big hit here. The thing is the songs work well in a compilation or a club mix but on an album it just sounds a bit samey and bland which is a shame

Individually, it has some fun songs and beats. It made a nice background listen. But it’s about an hour too long and got very repetitive. I don’t see why this is a must listen ahead of so many others that didn’t make this list.

This wasn't ... terrible ... but I'm not sure who this is for. Not be, apparently.

Too electronic.

4.5/10

So close to being a 1, there are a few parts that would make it a 3 or even 4 star album. But, it's very repetitive and some of it is really weak.

DJ Max music - ok for me, ok for work, wouldn't recommend to anyone I know.

I saw this was House and wanted to completely hate it. However, I only mostly hate it. 2/5

Really repetitive and boring, it's way too long. Spotify only has the Deluxe version and that made me crazy. It's not bad, it's just there, too long though.

Admittedly, I always get skeptical when it's an album I've never heard of. But, I decided there's plenty of great albums I've never heard of so I wasn't going to let that affect my review. Then, I saw it was a double album. Two whole hours of my time?! But I decided I was going to stick it through just like I had every other album before it. Finally I was ready to hit play. It was a little unexpected that this was electronic music, but I'm not opposed to that. Surely this is some sort of masterpiece of EDM . But here's the thing: the album is fine. I read a lot of reviews straight up bashing it, but it's not bad music. There's nothing offensive or off-putting about it, in fact, it's quite enjoyable. But that's the thing, it's good music for an elevator. This is the kind of stuff I'd put on to get some work done. There's nothing remarkable about this album. No stand out tracks, no innovation, no creativity. And that's fine, but it's not something I'd put on this list

2 1/2

i mean, it's fine, but it's also very long

This sounds heartless.

This book really missed the mark with the year 2000. It's like these reviewers were trying to be profound and pick out the timeless albums that would impact the future, but this to my ears is a totally derivative of a UK house album from the 90s. A good moment or two but really not worth it in a 70 min album. 1.7/5 -> 2/5

why is it so long? otherwise p inoffensive.

Great movie soundtrack music. Not great everyday listening.

way too long!!!

Computer music. No life, no soul whatsoever. Man, I haven’t heard anything good in a while.

Everything about this album screams amateurish which is not necessarily a bad thing we all have to start from somewhere, but as an edition to a best of list this feels like someone has something on someone - pictures they don't want released kind of deal. Not Kid Rock levels bad, but close enough.

UK DJs all love to make their songs 8 min long and feature 26 remixes. Which is wild because a lot of them aren't very good.

One and done.

most tracks have a very similar feeling. the vocals obviously change with each singer but overall not a lot of variety considering the length of the album

Album 1078 of 1089 Sincere - MJ Cole (2000) Rating : 2 / 5 This one falls into that electronic soul / UK garage style that leans heavily on rhythm, beats, and atmosphere. The production is clean and polished, and you can tell a lot of care went into the way the sounds and vocals are layered together. For me, it was a reasonably pleasant listen, though it did start to feel a little repetitive as the album went along. A lot of the tracks settle into a similar groove and stay there, which works well for the style but doesn’t always give a lot of variation from song to song. That said, I can easily imagine this kind of music working really well in the environment it was probably made for. The beats are steady, the vibe is smooth, and it feels like the kind of thing that could keep a dance floor moving for a while. I’m sure plenty of people had a good time with this when it was making the rounds in clubs.

Like the artwork suggests, this is the kind of music which I would want to soundtrack a luxury shopping experience that descends into a trash fire. Two hours of audio art is a lot to ask of the observer. On approaching the first hour's end, I've sort of lost track of time. I think I may just not finish it. The sound hasn't really aged well, but now a quarter century later it's certifiably retro, in the way my high school class thought about J. Geils, Billy Joel, or Donna Summer, but not with nearly as much musical depth or historical value as those, I think.

Not my style to begin with and also sounded quite dated... Decent background beats for work. 2.25/5

Nothing about this is interesting or unique, it's just late 90's pop, bland pop at best.

didn't finish, not for me

Didnt love it. The songs were fine just a lil too long and repetitive.

Boring techno trip hop. Nothing memorable

not great

I typically like the electronic records, but for some reason I just felt like I was waiting for this one to end. Maybe it should get a 3 because I don't think I would mind if it was playing in the background, but really it just felt lacking.

British dance music, didn't make much impression on me

UK Garage is not my thing, felt like i was in a mid noughts lounge

Electronic. Borderline boring. Good for reading

Aggressively mediocre

Just not my thing, starts to sound all the same.

⭐︎2.5 正直、集中して聞くのが辛かった。 イントロとタイトル曲はやや印象に残るが、それ以外はストーリー性を感じない、かっこいいでしょ！という押し付けの楽曲。好みではない。

Absolutely snoozefest. I dont really have much else to comment other than this album feels like its meant to be live mixed at a club 20 years ago, or used as a blueprint for remixes.

First Time Listen I think there are some genres and scenes that are hard to bring into modern, streaming-centric times without feeling like you're losing something. I think a lot of this 2-step house albums from the 2000s suffer from this. I don't think a full length album, listened at home on my computer on a Wednesday afternoon while completely sober, is the ideal way to experience any of this music. There's some catchy tracks here, a few I'd probably put into a house playlist or would enjoy hearing on a club mix. But listened back-to-back, with all the fluff and corny R&B lyrics in my face for an hour, I just kinda feel like I'm trapped in a Planet Fitness without my earbuds. Favorite Tracks: You're Mine, Sincere Re-Cue'd Least Favorites: MJ FM Interlude, I See 2-2.5/5

Tedious and lame.

I loved EDM and Techno and in the words of Jason Isbell This Ain't It Baby.

just boring dj music

Not “bad,” but generic, boring, and far too long. It’s shopping mall background music - serviceable, and not something you’ll get too annoyed by in that context, but must-listen? Nope. Started at a 3, which dropped lower and lower as it went on… 2.5

OK tunes. OK album.

Generic turn of the millennium dance music, didn’t notice it at the time, I can hear why.

Was an interesting album to rebuild a koi pond to all morning. Not sure if it would fit with another scenario in my life as well?

Background music

Though I appreciated an interesting mix of R&B, jazz, and techno backbeats, I forgot this album was playing more than once. Of the modern techno this did have a good variety of diversity. But this is great martini bar music, or putting something on where you can zone out and just get some stuff done. It was well recorded, well produced, probably won’t be coming back.

Mais um álbum irrelevante

More coffee shop background music.

Guess it represents the U.K. garage- house genre/scene, I wouldn’t know. It was ok on in the background, some nice sounds, found it a bit all over the place probably due to the multiple guest vocalists, but never really focused on it too much which kind of helped. 2 hr albums, 1st listen unless your favourite act are always a daunting task at the start, so Spotify only having the deluxe edition didn’t help. Not terrible as background music, never going to focus listen, don’t see myself ever listening again, a generous from my point of view 2.5 Star.

Not special. Generic. Okay for background music, especially at over 2 hours. 0 songs added to playlist.

Never heard of this artist before. From the opener I clocked a 00’s British garage DJ/producer. Surprised Craig David didn’t drop a feature. Bland, forgettable. MJ wishes he was Artful Dodger. Why is this an album I had to hear before I died? 2/5

This could've been right up my alley, but instead it all sounds like something you'd hear in a hotel lift.

Too much garage

Early EDM at its finest. And by "finest", I mean that it still runs into the same major issue as every single release in the genre: that of repetitiveness. Live DJs make an improvement on this by fading different textures in and out, but pre-recorded records tend to be huge misses because there's no audience to cater to during recording/production. Attitude is the first of many offenders on the record: five minutes of solid, unchanging, bland, artificial noise. Bandelero Desperado is much the same, only this time the lead shouter (Danny Vicious?) adds his ridiculously drab one-note vocal delivery. You'd think by 2000 that this trend would've died out. His enunciation isn't particularly good either, so it's not like the quality is all relegated to the lyrics. No – Danny is trying to sound all cool, nonchalant, gangsta (however you want to spin it), and it's not working. Most of the songs follow this pattern, including MJ FM Interlude and Slum King. Safe to say MJ Cole's singing is much, *much* better than whatever's coming out of Danny's mouth. Guy S'Mone in the album closer (Free My Mind) also has a great delivery – kind of a Karvin Gaye sounding track. The album could so easily be cut down to a reasonable length containing only the passable tracks with decent singing like this one. The piano line in Introduction honestly rips. I'd love to see more development of that theme, but as it stands, a ton of atmosphere is brought into the opening couple of minutes. (It also reminded me of the main menu theme of Marble Blast Platinum, which prompted me to redownload it for the nostalgia. Tired Games throws a wrench into my preconceived notion of how the album would shape out. Great soulful singing and backing vocals, great acoustic guitar line with subtle hard-cut edits, great brass. Really the only weak part is the percussion, which is so repetitive you almost forget it's there. (No, that's not a good thing. There's no human element to mindless electronic drums.) Crazy Love runs much the same way; it's easy to see how it became MJ Cole's biggest (Spotify) hit. Strung Out - Edit is a great little instrumental, easily surpassing most of the tracks with vocals by having some simple, effective musical ideas that vary a bit. And surely that isn't too much to ask for. 2/5 Key tracks: Tired Games, Crazy Love, Strung Out - Edit

Fine. Didn't do much for me.

2 hours is too long, but it would be okay as background music.

Dull

29/01/2026 The more this dragged on, the more bored of it I became. Spotify listeners: 797k

Good background music, although “it was easy to forget” isn’t necessarily the best review, I did enjoy some of the songs though, 2+ stars.

This was ok, as I listened I was mostly indifferent but there were a few songs that caught my ear (mostly as catchy -- some as bad).

I'm not sure what this offers that a million other garage records and soulful dance grooves out there do. I'm not sure it was necessarily groundbreaking enough in the scheme of music as a whole let alone the UK music scene. That said, I didn't hate it, it just didn't push anything new and the hype man rapper was poor.

Not a fan.

made for a different time, a different audience

Beats for a rave

I wouldn't listen to this willingly but I was digital painting so it matched the vibe and I felt kinda cool.

mid dance music nothing i particularly want to listen to

I mean... interesting. I think if I took the time to go through it again I would enjoy it more and it may grow, but generally didn't sound a lot different from other similar music. 2

Not really my thing. Not bad, just meeh

A struggle for me personally to get through, but at least sonically unusual compared to the rest of this list as opposed to the many prog rock albums I've struggled to get through. I think the pacing was always not quite enough but also too much to be just full chill.

Not a fan.

How do I escape from these vocal loops?

I didn’t give this the fairest try but I did listen to it. I can tell it’s not for me and not gonna grow on me. There are a couple of interesting things but it’s not happening. And without being terrible I don’t see why it’s there.

It was ok i dont know how i feel about electronic

++: Tired Games, You're Mine, Slum King +: Attitude, Bandelero Desperado, Sincere (Re-Cue'd), Free My Mind +-: MJ FM Interlude, Crazy Love, Sanctuary, I See, Strung Out, Rough Out Here, Radio Interlude, Hold on to Me -: Introduction 4,2/10

Maybe it’s just an off day for me, but I enjoyed the music lines a lot more than the vocals on this album. The beats were grooving and the occasional jazzy interlude mixed well with the upbeat drums. By the end of the album, it had gotten quite repetitive and, as we’ve seen in the past, there was really nothing special about this selection.

I was fully expecting to hate this, just as I've hated the rest of the electronic music albums, but I didn't hate it. In fact, I kinda liked it. This has a nice cocktail lounge vibe, chill but interesting. For the genre, this gets my top rating. A very strong 2 stars.

Better than most of the electronic dance music we've heard, but I still wouldn't want to listen to it. Ok, in the background at as party but that's it.

Why is it so long, but I feel like nothing was said?

This is an album where I have to see the book entry to have any clue why it's included. There is nothing spectacular about this. A 71 on metacritic, and released in 2000 so not exactly the leading edge of EDM. Incredibly long, and not all that interesting.

Ok I can see how this was probably really influential but I did not have a good time. Really did not enjoy the vocals especially.

boring and repetitive, most of these songs go nowhere and are mostly forgettable. the vocal performances are uninspired, and honestly hurt some otherwise pretty decent songs. that isn’t to say that there aren’t some moments of genius here, as songs like “bandelero desperado” and “sanctuary” definitely grabbed my attention. however, i can’t help but feel that this album is a bit flat, and is missing a certain edge to it. just an awkward, clunky, and mostly forgettable “dance” album.

Det började helt ok med mer garage/lounge house. Sen gick det över till mer generisk housemusik för det mesta tyvärr. Men det går väl att lyssna på

This is like the 10th album (in 200) like this where I can’t help but feel I’m in the lobby of the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach. I guess this project is teaching me the meaning of ‘house music’. Fine for the nightclub restroom - deeply out of joint in my regular, daily life. Too bad too because it actually sounds really good in car. What is interesting in short bursts becomes boring repetitive and grating over its 2-hour run. 2/5

Do you like smooth garage music? Great! I've never really liked garage but at least smooth garage is more boring than annoying. Most of this was just... Background music with electric beats. Mostly boring. Only occasionally annoying. The only vaguely interesting melody was on I See.

Garageband.

Just not very enjoyable for me. I lose interest quickly with this style of music.

Once again the generator wiped out my review. I think it was along the lines of innocuous aural wallpaper.

I'm pretty sure that this was a typographical error and we were supposed to get J. Cole's "2014 Forest Hills Drive." It's the only logical explanation I can think of. Instead, we got 2 whole hours of "Millennial Hipster Nightclub Music, Part XXVII."

1,6/5

Would like to understand better why this is on here. Sounded total nondescript to me and after a while the people I was sharing a room with kept turning it down lower and lower.

Two minutes in and I already hate this. Repetitive noises grind my gears, so consider me ground.

Very sincerely: why.

The kind of gayish electronic music I've never enjoyed but must respect.

This was ok. I don’t know much about this type of music at all. Turned into background music quite quickly. Did nothing to really capture my imagination. Not sure why it would be deemed necessary to hear.

Fue como escuchar un álbum de tonos de llamada de Nokia.

I enjoyed listening to this album and personally for me it’s probably not something I would listen again however I did think of my boyfriend constantly during this album and thought this was very his vibe. Edit: I have saved one song so far and another one but I may delete it

It sounds too generic for my taste, but maybe that's because it was the baseline to different types of electronic music?

If I were ranking this list of Coles, MJ would be below Ashley, Andy and Carlton but would just be in front of Joe. Which is similar to his album, not the worst, but nowhere near the elite level

Definitely a stretch to include this album on the 1001 list. There is nothing about "Sincere" that strikes me as unique or interesting - it's just boring Electronica.

I described a previous album on this list as music to shop too, and the cover art for this album makes it even more blatant. Obviously there’s a need and a crowd for this genre, and its creation is not without talent, but there’s a missing aspect of it that makes it impossible for me. Maybe it’s the years of talent I know it takes to master an instrument, or the physical effort that it takes. I think of someone like Lemmy being physically broken at the end but still wanting to play, versus whoever made this album, sipping a latte behind an iPad. It’s not the same to me.

Not my thing. Beats were kind of repetitive and monotonous. OK album

The amount of dull English House music on this list is staggering.

Launche drum and base, men men med fin vokal ind i mellem.

Day 84 Not one I’ll return to, was ok as background music 3/10 Highlights Crazy Love Sincere

J'ai l'impression d'avoir lancé un jeu console des années 2000 et d'être resté sur le menu du jeu Musique d'ambiance sympa, mais un peu trop répétitif pour moi

Not for me, but it's quite good, some of it is catchy

Sounds like what you might hear in the late 90's or early 2000's at a coffee shop where trip hop is just too new and edgy. Generic and monotonous.

are you having a laugh? are you taking the piss? this and other britishisms to explain my incredulity at why this album was selected for this list. It's not even like terrible, but this is very generic. It reminds me a lot of listening to our local radio station in 1999 when they would have the house DJ remix a couple of the contemporary hits at the time by adding air horns, shout outs to the radio station, and little noises here and there.

There were a couple alright tracks but quite forgettable Rating: 1.7

This is just boring .. sorry!

Meh.

Not my thing

There is more than one moment of genius on this record, where I can see exactly what others see in it. For me though these are often swathed in vocals that are not my flavour and interspersed with awkward transitions. More bad than good but an interesting listen nonetheless.

Wasn't my preferred genre to listen to. Was not made for me, but was fine for background music while doing other things etc

The album cover looks like a magazine advert for Pandora, and the music is pretty much just bollocks. I defy anyone to tell one track from another if you removed any vocals - they are all so repetitive, and non-distinctive, and the whole thing is so, so long. Not at all good.

Ihan chilliä tavallaan, mut kaks tuntia on about tunti ja vartti liikaa tätä. 2/5

Ei lähtenyt jotenkin kyllä nyt yhtään. Taustameteliksi korkeintaan.

NOJOO. Ei tästä ihan hirveästi saanut otetta. Ajoittain semi-erikoista poppista ja ajoittain ihan hyvää jumputusta. Kai tää on joku brittien elektro-skenen alalajin esittely. Ei mahottomia tunnetiloja herättänyt suuntaan tai toiseen.

This is very generic. Which surprised me since I decided to explore the double album version of this album. Shocker that there could be a double albums worth. I didn’t get through it. It’s just very generic techno

Unbeknownst to most, I quite like a bit of UK garage, so I was familiar with the two hits on this album. “Crazy Love” and “Sincere” are the album’s only standouts, and were the only time I felt a need to give this album a modicum of my attention. The rest of the tracks were, being frank, utter shit. Quite why the creator of 1001 Albums felt this was worthy of inclusion will likely remain one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time.

Waffling between a 2 and a 3 on this one. Ultimately it's getting a 2 as I got pretty bored with it towards the end. It's...fine, but not a genre I love and it didn't strike me as exceptional. Something this long needs more variety. 2.4

No thanks

It's a weird album. It's not bad but I wouldn't ever listen to it again.

I wouldn't say it's as bad as I've expected it to be, but it also... doesn't really belong on this list? I'd have been totally fine not listening to it before I die, really.

Certified mid.

Dated, boring, and repetitive. A weird inclusion. Best song: Strung Out

Pleasant background British club music from the turn of the century, but irrelevant and not sure why it's on this list.

Asså va fan. Så sjuka val ibland. Fattar ingenting. Track listing verkar vara lite off jämfört med Wikipedia. Men i övrigt är det inget vidare. Sången över de rätt trista trummorna är bara jobbig. Går inte igång alls.

Nej usch, det här var inte bra och har verkligen inte åldrats väl. Plastigt, glättigt, själlöst och en sång som bara förstör. Alldeles för lång är den också. Svag tvåa.

Some nice smooth beats in a few songs but overall I didn't get pulled in to the album very much. Nothing stood out and I didn't get the feeling of wanting to relisten to anything.

It's a protypical EDM album. He found a good singer in Elisabeth Troy and made a record full of songs that fit the genre and mold. This isn't really my thing and I didn't find it good enough to "get" why it's on the list of 1001 albums you must hear before you die.

Cool vibe and all but I don't need a whole album of dance music.

Way too long. Nice vocals, repetitive, no hits. 2.2.

This was not great. Personal enjoyment: 2/5 Relevance to this list: 2/5

Like the hole burned in the luxury-store bag featured on the album cover, this record left a gash in my brain for want of substance and really anything worth an ear's time. MJ Cole may produce, but he doesn't induce - that is, he doesn't stimulate or influence besides the brief moment of witless body moving. What's particularly awful, especially on the big tracks like 'Crazy Love,' 'I See,' and 'Sincere - Re-Cu'd,' is the posturing of some sort of R&B-suavity which not only doesn't exist but is nearly parodied, so generic and uninspired are the vocal performances. 'Rough Out Here' borders on a caricature of Curtis Mayfield while 'Slum King' is hackneyed take on reggae politics. 'Do you feel the vibes?' I do not. Bad for the body and the soul.

I thought the first two tracks were great. After that, it got boring and repetitive.

Blech

One of those albums that’s fine, but once you’ve heard a couple of tracks you’ve heard it all.

Lidt generisk 00'er elektronisk, et par okay numre undervejs

I think MJ Cole may have been influenced by the 1080 Snowboarding soundtrack. I will put Sincere in a 'Music that could be in a videogame' playlist.

so, after listening to this, i looked up a few aggregate lists for the best ""electronic"" albums of 2000, because i was really curious to see what "lost out," so to speak, to this album. while this album did show up on some of these lists, it often sat somewhere in the top 20 (if it even appeared), and there were several albums by artists (who i am familiar with, and do have bias) ranked above this one who are conspicuously absent in the entirety of the 1001 list. don't get me wrong: i don't hate this album. it was alright, and, at times, enjoyable, but it was a one and done listen. coming to this when there's a dearth of ""electronica"" in this list makes me feel... bad!!! mr. dimey isn't the arbiter of good music, in spite of publishing a series of books on the matter, and i agree with the general consensus that this as a 1001 pick doesn't feel great. i think there are probably other ""electronica"" albums from 2000 that could've been on this list instead of sincere (if you want my pick to judge my taste, i would've put broadcast on here instead of mj cole). merits of being on a made-up and arbitrary music ranking list aside, i liked this album as a faux-nostalgia trip for the late 90s / early 00s (i say faux because i was not at the club circa 2000). i was trying to envision in my mind what the club circa 2000 would even look like when this was playing, and you know what? everyone in my mind's eye looked like they were having fun. all to say: this album was somewhat enjoyable (to me) on qualities that are ephemeral and very non-objective, and the overall project failed to impress me as being worthy of inclusion on the 1001 list. it compelled me to do research to try and understand how it got on this list to begin with, and i wound up listening (and relistening!!) to a few albums from 2000 that i liked way more than this. ah well!! such is life. highlights - sincere (re-cue'd)

Dance nonsense

#689. Boring UK pop electronica. 2/5: meh

Just not into the genre

eh. some good songs but most of it was really bland and forgettable

Just okay.

Some of the music in isolation was quite interesting, some of it was repetitive and that goes the same for the vocals. Only lasted a few songs before I had to turn it off. No way I could’ve lasted over 2 hours. Not my thing, probably a 1 from me but gets an extra mark due to some of the interesting musicality.

That wasn't fun

This album did not age well

Tuvo sus buenos momentos, es como la precuela de un lofi pop en el sentido de que puedo dejarlo de música de fondo mientras trabajo y da lo mismo.

Eh, not really my thing. It's fine, but it's too repetitive and not very interesting or engaging for me.

This one is a headscratcher..of the 200+ albuns so far I am wondering why this made it onto the list more than any other. It's not actually *that* bad, but was I think released fairly late on in it's genre's history so presumably wasn't influential in any way - it's a little M-People cocktail house/garage but 6 years or so late...

MJ Cole ist ein britischer Musiker und Produzent aus London, der im musikalischen Umfeld der UK-Garage aktiv ist. Das Album Sincere wurde zwischen 1997 und 2000 in verschiedenen Studios in Großbritannien aufgenommen und abgemischt, darunter Prolific Studios, Cutting Edge Studios und Soho Recording Studios. Die Musik lässt sich klar dem Genre UK-Garage zuordnen, mit Einflüssen aus House und elektronischer Musik. Besonders bekannt sind die Songs „Sincere“, „Crazy Love“ sowie „Hold On To Me“ – sie gelten als prägend für das Genre. „Crazy Love“ etwa erreichte in Großbritannien hohe Chartplatzierungen. Das Album präsentiert sich technisch versiert und stilistisch stimmig. Persönlich finde ich, dass Sincere eine ausgewogene Mischung aus clubtauglichen Rhythmen und songorientiertem Songwriting bietet – ohne auf Effekthascherei zu setzen. Insgesamt ist Sincere ein durchdachtes Debüt, das den Stil des damals entstehenden UK-Garage wirksam innerhalb eines kohärenten Gesamtwerks abbildet.

I did not dig this.

I just went from a great 2000's electronic album (Avalanches) to a very generic and kinda bad one, so this review may be more negative than if I got it some other day. Anyways here is my copypasta UK electronica rant because it always applies and if they are going to keep giving me the same album I'll give the same review: "About 200 albums ago I had 2 straight months of 70's folk music and I kept ranting about how it is over represented in this list. Since then I have only gotten one here and there, so I guess I just got really unlucky. Now, I feel like the real genre that is over represented in this list is UK EDM/Electronica/Dance. Is the UK electronic scene really that important? I like to think I know more than the average person about music history, and I am involved in various music discourse, and no one has EVER brought up any of these artists. To be fair I don't follow much electronic music though. I feel like 1 or 2 UK albums on this list would be fine, but it feels like there are 30-40, and they always are the same. Some UK guy no one has heard of in the last 20 years that had one decently successful album (I don't think that applies to this one lol) in the 90's (usually a debut), all the songs have 100,000 streams, and then it is over an hour of some of the most average electronic music ever." Now back to the album: This album is really boring and I don't really have much to say about it so here are some short snippets that came to mind while I was listening. If that is MJ Cole "singing" on Introduction, he really shouldn't. Why does Tired Games cut out like that, it sound bad. Danny Vicious is not good at rapping. I completely zoned out, but I think You're Mine was 6 minutes of a 6 second loop. No idea why Sincere has 11 million streams, it sounds just like every other song. I just remembered Mezzanine isn't on this list and got upset. BUT THANK GOD MJ COLE IS HERE! I am so glad I got to experience an hour of the same beat on repeat. Low 2.

I am too old for this electronic dance music stuff, not that I would have liked it when I was younger. I could tolerate Disco to some extent but not this. 2 stars or D-.

Some tracks were somewhat enjoyable, while others were unbearable. Overall, the album felt repetitive and overly long. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more in the right setting, but since I'm not a party boy, it's a 2/5 for me.

Dull - really not sure why this was selected. Never heard of him.

Cover 6.5 Chill. Didn't hate it.

This is what disorganization sounds like

Il y a une vibe mais bon, assez répétitif, musique de shopping quoi…
