Reviews (page 8 of 8)
I love punk but never got X. The sound of the two voices together makes me hate music.
Not my thing. Had some fun beats at times but I didn't enjoy it. It did feel refreshing to have a female vocalist though
This is noise, trash and annoying. I hope your album selection gets better quickly or I'm out. If there was a zero stars, that would be my vote.
Nope. Not for me. Don’t like the voices. Don’t care for the music.
These album is straight cheeks, man.
Blah punk
Boring songs and vocals, not very musical
Maschine: Focal Clear Mische: gar nicht sooo scheisse Musik: Nix besonderes (für mich). Da höre ich lieber B52s oder Pixies... Meine Wertung: 1/5
Downright boring
Yuck
This was a pretty poor album. It felt like it was made in a garage with good equipment. The lyrics seemed like they were written by a teenager, but not one with artistic ability. I could not find much if anything about this album that I’d revisit. Usually I can tolerate most albums with a normal structure but this was pushing it. 2.9/10
Starts off as punk-rock, but then morphs into some sort of country-rock. Not impressed.
I like the raw energy, but the recording is so bad it's hard to hear anything and what I was able to hear wasn't anything novel.

Wimpy backing to annoying vocals. This is about as punk as Celine Dion but her voice is marginally better. I'm starting to hit skip. Just not in the mood for weeny punk pretenders. Just because you said "Fuck" doesn't make you punk. I've heard this compared with the debuts from Siouxsee or Clash. Fair cop. Their debut albums sucked but they got much better. This is the third album from X. They obviously weren't improving.
The real challenge is to find 1001 ways to call a music album boring
unremarkable in every aspect
Moeilijk plaatje, ik wil 't begrijpen, maar het is gewoon niet vol te houden.
Nogmaals, ik heb een hekel aan punk. En die zanglijnen zijn echt niet om aan te horen
I can't take this
Was never a big fan of X in my punk days, maybe its the way the guy sings
Kind of happy that this album was only 33 minutes. Maybe if I was more into punk I would have found this exciting but apart from a few moments where I thought that the riff wasn't bad it was as dull as dish water.
Honestly couldn't stand both of the vocalists which made the experience frustrating as there is decent guitar and bass going on here. White Girl was probably the best song on here. At least it was short I guess.
12/07/2021 Today's Album: "Wild Gift" by X - The Once over Twice is very strange and I honestly don't really like it. It drags on and repeats this sorta off sounding chorus. There's a cool solo in this song but it doesn't really redeem the shitty rest of the song. The next song is even more annoying and droning. The instrumentals in Adult Books are less annoying but they still don't really sound good or pay off in any way. Im going to stop reviewing this track by track and just suffice to say, this album sounds awful. It's very droney and samey throughout each song and the vocalists always sound off pitch and stuttery. Actual garbage 80s art rock Score: 1/10 painful to listen to Highlights: N/A
woman vocal is making this album bad
A million years ago (1994) I was in Seattle for 9 days at the same time Bumbershoot was on. It was $9 per day although if you wanted to see X and Sunny Day Real Estate, neither of who I knew, it was a separate $10 ticket. So obviously I didn't go to see them and instead saw Penn & Teller be amazing doing loads of slight of hand in a small theatre and Richard Thompson (with Danny Thompson on double bass) basically playing on the pavement for $9. And some random stuff I've long since forgotten about although I do have a t-shirt in a bin bag in my parent's attic in the UK. Anyway, I moved to Australia and there's a completely different band called X who I'd never heard of either. I've seen the Australian X and they were pretty good. The US band are a bit punk-by-numbers years after this type of punk was in fashion everywhere else. It doesn't even really have memorable songs/hooks/melodies etc and is all a bit plodding 4/4. It feels a lot longer than its 32 minutes, never a good sign when about half the songs are less than 2 minutes.
Niet mijn ding. Ik ken de band niet en dat wil ik graag zo houden.

The longest 32 minute album I've ever heard. Mediocre punk/indie pop lacking in tunes or interesting songs. I like the dueting of the two singers and that's what saves it from 1 star.
ok i hate this fuck you for being right
Not so bad- easier to relate to than I thought
Nothing to see here, just some more really bad, old punk. I guess I'm simply not angry enough.
shite
I cannot stand the vocals of any X song
Ruk
Lidt alternativ 80’er rock,
