No, never again. Cliche ridden rubbish. I cannot see any entertainment value in this dreadful genre.
Ugh. Just a generic country rock record, except the singer died. Nothing else standout about it.
1 star, bored
Yeah, this is a big heaping pile of honky tonk.
Not my taste at all. I will probably never listen to it again. It did expand my music taste and possibly deserves to be on this list. I wouldn’t know though.
Among the options we have on the 1001 site, we should have the option to limit just 1 country album per week maximum.🙃 Take it seriously. I bet it's not the worst country album we have here, but after listening to all the albums that influenced it and all that was influenced by it (in a genre with less variability), it is normally an awful experience.
Dull
Ugh. I dislike Country music, and this album is no exception. I think Gram Parsons was influential in bringing a country sound to many bands he worked with, but I doubt this album was.
Las Vegas was the only fun one. Just dreary otherwise. I think Spongebob has ruined that specific kind of distortion for me
2/10 I can't with this. I want to buy the record and throw it in a river. 12-18-2024
Second country album in a row. I don't like country.
What kind of name is Gram?
Absolutely no redeeming qualities in this one. Terrible.
I try to listen to all the albums here, even if I don't like the genre...and I've had a few very pleasant surprises. This wasn't one of them. I really don't like Country music...and after one and a half songs from this album I had to turn it off. I couldn't even last the whole album.
Some days I think this project is trying to torture me.
Nothing great here. The cover of love hurts is ok
Not only is this one of the worst album covers I've ever seen, this is terrible country music... Can't even listen to this, it's hurting my head. No way this is an album you should have to hear before you die... this should be the album someone tortures you with before they take you out.
At least it was short.
I don't like country music
I’d heard of the name, no idea what to expect, so was looking forward to something new. But, by the powers of greyskull, I was not expecting this puddle of bollox. I was genuinely cringing at some of this corny stuff, Brass Buttons in particular was just dreadful. I usually find country music has some charm/warmth, this is just devoid. Surely the world of country has a tonne of better albums than this?
Unbearable Country & Western.
Found some of the vocal harmonies on the first track a bit whiny, and slightly out of tune. Unfortunately, that continued on the second track. The third track started better, but then had the same issue. Pretty much had to tune out to make it to the end of this one.
I feel like I just listened to “Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley” nine times.
Too country
Boring country music
Two words. FUCKING AWFUL. Then again i hate country…
Just sounded like country to me
Oh God, please, no more country music! Aaargh!
This shit kinda swagger less.
It's no Marty Robbins
Oppilas koulussa kysyy heitä biitti... meikä rupee beat boksaa.. bumtsiga bum bum.. bumtsiga bum bum.. siinä... yhtä masentavaa hänelle kuin tämän albumi biitit minulle.. Uninspiring..
I guess this is alt country but it is neither country enough or alt enough to be interesting to me.
what. the. hell.
Painful...
Didn't really dig it.
Basic country music
I’d heard of Graham Parsons but have never taken any notice of him or his music. It was only has a result of this album turning up on my list that I read about him and learning that he died shortly after this was released. Whilst it was interesting to learn about him I’m afraid that country music is not my scene. Born in wrong place and time to appreciate it and a big turn off whenever I hear it. 1/5 24/3/24
Sorry - but this was just awful... There is a small sliver of Country that I really do appreciate, but this ain't it... It's probably better than the vast amount of Country music out there, and is fairly well-done for what he was trying to do, but there isn't anything compelling on this album... My eyes did perk-up a little when I saw "Love Hurts" as I saw Nazareth a few times back in the day, and that song kicks ass - so I thought maybe Gram wrote it - but nah, the original was written some dude named Boudleaux Bryant in 1960 for the Everly Brothers, and Gram's interpretation here was just lame... Nazareth's version is still the definitive version of "Love Hurts" hands down... Not gonna lie, this album was hard to get through...
Awful. It sounded like dying cats.
Country. Enough said.
Should humanity be destroyed like the Martians were in the movie Mars Attacks by the song Indian Love Call by Slim Whitman? ... then keep it up!
Here is a list of things I hate. 1. Country music. End of list. I fucking hate this Confederate flag waving, gun loving, I'm a cowboy, sister marrying, trump worshiping sonic diohrea. Your not good old boys, it's not the land of the free and god has forsaken you and your idolatry. Hickory wind is a good track but it's not on this album so bollocks to it.this isnt a bridge between country and rock it's a bridge between country and satan's arse.
Tried it, had to stop, country really is a difficult genre to listen to.
Couldn't get past song 2. I hate country.
Country music is not my thing. Couldn't get past the 3rd song.
Not sure my ear can pick out what makes this one of the best albums of all time. It's a decent country album with great harmonies by Emmylou Harris. It's all I hear and unsure why it's on the list of 1001.
Ugh. I know Parsons was part of a super group, but this was not enjoyable for me.
Please no country 😱
Not the biggest fan of the instrumentals in any track, and the vocals didn't help much, thankfully it's a short album. 3/10
Generic country
Gave it an honest try, but couldn't make it past a few songs. Maybe there's some country out there for me, but this isn't it.
No. No Country Music.
Grievous on the ears.
This is entirety too country for me. Skip.
I started this project to expand my horizons, knowing full well there would be many albums I didn’t like, but committing to listen anyway. With one exception: I will NOT listen to any fucking country music.
Nope, not my thing. Too whiny
Ugh, mér leiðist kallaköntrí ennþá.
Gross.
Can't do country
Big no, just not my style.
Fucking cuntry again. Fuck off and die, Gram. If you haven't already. Let me check.... Oh, he is dead...well great. Good. Wait..he died in 1973 and this was released in 1974. Maybe it wasn't his fault. Maybe he never meant for this dogshit to be released. I take it all back, Gram.
Its country by todays standards. I did not like many country artists before and this album is a good example of why I don't like it.
Don't mind me while I go cut something in the carpark
They say this is an important country album as it takes in some rock and roll influences. I’ll have to take their word for it since I’m not an expert but it’s not too remarkable for me.
Such a depressing album-it’s quite literally the classic sad stereotypical country music. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: none
Its the most *country* country album I've heard. The opening to the first track made me cringe so much I couldn't do it
Thank God I never have to listen to this again
I had to pop an extra Lipitor this morning from consuming all the cheese in this album.
Blurgh. I had a friend in high school we called him Dime Bag because he always had weed. He followed to the Grateful Dead. If he wasn't in class, he was probably getting high in some VW bus in his Birkenstocks in between shows. Anyhow, Dime Bag was really chill and flew under the radar. He had an older sister named Nicki and she was amazing. Their parents were alcoholics. Dime Bag's real name was Graham. This Gram Parsons album sucked. I was really disappointed in it.I'd heard a lot about this Gram Parsons guy and was excited about listening to him, but the boring twang and slow roll had me looking at the clock after the first two tracks.
country meh
Not a fan of this style at all.
too much country for my own good
Almost as terrible as the album cover.
Not for me
Never liked country music and I don’t think I ever will. I’m sure this is a belter if you like this sort of thing, but its not for me.
Sweet lord
This is terrible. Country rock music is not my thing. Coupled with that kind of yodelling/singing that country is kinda known for. Big yuk. My heart is not on fire, my ears are! Best: Ooh Las Vegas Worst: Hearts On Fire
More cowboy shit
Not my bag. Found it quite grating.
I just can’t with Country music. This is abysmal.
Really did not think this was an enjoyable album. I dabble in country and always love rock but this didn’t hit either of those spots for me. Too slow, too empty sounding I did enjoy the live track on the album, but the recorded versions had none of the same energy
I typically make it a point to listen all the way through an album before rating it, even if I'm not really enjoying it, but this one I just couldn't do. I made it through three songs and just couldn't do anymore. It's very musically competent, there's just something about the genre that I simply cannot stand.
