very cool
i dunno it's fine
Generic punky rock album. Three minute songs, not a lot to them to be honest. Won’t be missed that I’ll never listen to it again.
favorite songs: The Once Over Twice, Universal Corner, In This House That I Call Home, When Our Love Passed Out on the Couch. a really good album, only a couple songs that I thought were meh
listened to half. It was fine.
nice 80s punk
their name being X is not the best for name recognition but it does look really cool under every song title on the tracklist. kind of weird seeing a regular picture for the album art but its okay. 32 min long, nice and short lets go. aw i dont think i'll be into this. i was so ready but i'm bothered by how low energy it is. they sound so over it lol. how many women are they gonna call out lol we've got jackie susan and magdalene so far. back 2 the base was really something lol. not into thisss

Probably better live.
ok i hate this fuck you for being right
love this like probably not enough to listen to it again but maybe who knows when i'm feeling Punky
Not so bad- easier to relate to than I thought
Some great punk rock.
Nothing to see here, just some more really bad, old punk. I guess I'm simply not angry enough.
never heard of these before - better than expected but not one I can imagine getting really into
Spennende, gøy og rolig
Ordinary is an understatement
Opgewekte muziek. Misschien wat eentonig, maar omdat het zo tof is, kunnen we dat door de vingers zien.
De eerste paar nummers had ik de indruk dat die met tegenzin waren opgenomen en vond ik nogal vervelend. Naar het verder verloop van het album toe begon het iets dragelijker te worden
shite
Gillar själva musiken men sången är nääääee
If the Ramones hopped into a Cadillac, put Johnny B Goode on the 8 track, and drove straight into the B-52's love shack, it might sound like this. Thanks, X, for pushing punk in new directions. The rockabilly stuff is not my cuppa tea, but the rest was solid. I have a feeling their lyrics deserve more attention. Perfect soundtrack to Tony Hawk Pro Skater II. B+
Wow. Impressed. Heard of X, I think, but never listened before. It’s catchy, pared down, good variety, not too one note. I hear ramones, pixies, misfits, Jefferson airplane, sonic youth, iggy and the stooges, that says it all. Saved the album to my library.
Fairly consistently good punk, a bit of rockabilly that was eh so so
Production: 13/20 Songwriting: 12/20 Innovation: 11/20 Bangers: 5/20 Emotional response: 10/20 =51 Yeah was alright bit boring but hey ho
New to me, quite liked it - going to have a listen to their other stuff 👍
Certainly not everyone's cup of tea but fantastic classic punk in my opinion.
In one ear and out the other. forgettable rockabilly punk vibes. It's fine
Okay, but not really my type of music. 0RS
Niet heel verkeerd maar ik kan er niet van genieten
Just OK for me. I liked the rhythm section, but nothing else really stood out for me.
There were a couple songs I enjoyed here, like Adult Books, but it was overall a bit too whiny-grungy to be a good listen.
alright but a bit boring. Superb bass playing though, and bonus points for being short and sharp
Pretty, pretty good
I cannot stand the vocals of any X song
Punkowanie po raz enty, tym razem zachodnie wybrzeze hameryki, na pierwszy rzut oka nie moglem bandy polaczyc z zadnym albumem, czy nawet kawalkiem, dopiero po analizie plejki wyszlo, ze cos wczesniej od nich slyszalem, ale byl to pojedyczny trak musze nie myslec negatywnych mysli, ale rownie dobrze moglbym przesluchac calego albumu i o tym nie wiedziec, bo nic z tej plyty nie zostaje w glowie, nie wiem czy to sprawa tego wokalnego duetu, gdzie glowna role odgrywa pani cervenka, do bolu juz ogrywanymi gitarkowymi brzmieniami, ktore gdzies juz wczesniej slyszales, o ile w niektorych momentach lirycznie by sie kawalek bronill, to znowu wokal mieszano nijaki nie pomaga w odbiorze, nie wiem z ktora brytyjska wokalistka punkowa mi sie kojarzy maniera baby Xowej, ale doslownie deja vu, juz to slyszalem u kogos innego, na plejaka wrzuce we are desperate, co dobrze okresla styl w jakim jest utrzymany material, desperacja sukcesu, ciekawy random fakt, ze na produkcji siedzial, wtedy juz byly, czlonek doorsow, czyli pan manzarek, czego bym sie nie spodziewal, a wyprodukowal im jeszcze debiutanckiego krazka

Solide. Könnte auch aus den 90ern sein. Eingängige Songs, nette Mann/Frau call/response vocals, Drums wie Bela B. sie liebt. Für ein Evergreen Album zu wenig / eine charmante Vorband. Anerkennende 2.2
Hat mich nicht so berührt. Klang wie Punkrock von der Stange; für Kontext war diesmal keine Zeit.
Great energy out of this album, which is what you would expect.
I was originally down on this album but it grew on me and as the album played through spotify took me to some very cool punk bands with a similar sound that I enjoyed. Pretty neat.
This album would have benefitted from the following: 1. A competent producer. 2. A vocal coach to teach the two singers how to harmonize in more than one interval 3. A new lead vocalist The first four songs on this album were really terrible. It got better towards the end, which is the only reason this gets 2 stars instead of 1.
Hard rock with punk vibes, not my jam but it was ok
What's not to love about X?
Had never heard this before - awesome - right up there on the list with the Clash, the Femmes, and other angry punk/post-punk bands of the era.
Generic late punk album
Meh
punk rockabilly love songs
Such a 3/5 I can tell it’s early punk and why it’s on this list
X sounds best when John and Exene are singing together. It's a little off kilter, but the energy is gives off is fantastic. Pretty consistently good album, though nothing that is amazing.
Wasn't really familiar with this band before, I liked it.
oddly wild
Not too shabby.
This was some ok punk rock. Some songs were more aggressive than others ("the once over twice" and " desperate Los Angeles"), While some seem more country("adult books" - has a more punk Elvis vibe.), some just didn't work at all for me as it seems the 2 singers weren't so harmonious(but that could be what they were going for)"I'm coming over". But for me there were some great songs "it's who you know" and "in this house that I call home"has the right about of everything above mixed together. Overall a decent album.

du punk brut
What a great album. One of my favorites so far. Brings back great memories
Something you'd hear playing a little too loud in a bar out in the hipster part of the city. Pretty middling.
rock out brooklyn basement style!
Fun, energetic, and catchy rock.
Enjoyable punk rock, but nothing that seemed particularly special or unique to it, making me question why it was on the list.
Needs another listen
I'm digging this record. Good punk, lots of fun to listen to
Not my thing but better than expected
I like the energy but the tunes are a bit dull
Not bad
Not a fan of this. If we’re looking at an evolutionary tree for punk rock, this is a different branch that went extinct
Fun, I’d forgotten how much
Lidt alternativ 80’er rock,
Most of it was generic punk. A few standout tracks, but not enough to make me want to listen again. Best track: It's Who You Know
Right around the middle on this one. Preferred LA
A bit rough around the edges but definitely an interesting sound
Bounces between Ramones style bouncy punk to leaning slightly more hardcore. I'd say it's a proto-pop-punk record. Lot of fun, and the dual vocalists definitely help break it up here and there. Favorite tracks: "Universal Corner", "Back 2 the Base"
It was okay. The album was definitely consistent, but nothing amazing.
