Reviews (page 8 of 8)

I could never see myself voluntarily listening to this shit ever again under any circumstance. If my life somehow ends up so far in the gutter to end up somewhere that this album was playing, I would survey my options and make my departure as quickly and efficiently as possible. Look, I’m sure they’re achieving everything they’d like to in this album and there’s certainly an audience for it. But I am not part of that audience

Ugh. I wish I could give this no stars.

Screechy and annoying. 1/10

Not for me. Loud discordant. I had a hard time getting thru even 30 seconds of any track on the album.

Way too much senseless screaming

New Intro was the only unique song, everything else - eh

How can a "fringe-rock artifact" be one of only a finite number of records one must hear? This is tedious noise.

What I don't get with all this is two things: they are not very good at whatever it is they think they are doing, they don't play with imagination nor verve and they don't give you a good feeling about it. Now I'm not talking about Brotherhood of Man type "good feeling", I mean they don't evoke a good feeling through having something to say. I saw Bob Mould a couple of year's back and it was heavy, the loudest thing I've ever heard, and he didn't let up for hours. And I came away invigorated, high on the performance. With this they have nothing to say and they say it badly. That said, Super Unison has some ok moments, you can see what this might have been if they........

Headache inducing. Too much noise, too much screaming. Couldn't finish.

Absolute shit. Unlistenable

Not a fan

You know the scene in "Scott Pilgrim" with Crash & the Boys, where it takes six seconds for them to introduce "I'm So Sad, So Very, Very Sad," and that intro is longer than the actual song, which is only a four-count on the drums followed by the words "So sad" sung over two notes on the guitar and bass? This is sorta the opposite of that. Drive Like Jehu just scream "Do You Compute" for seven minutes, or "Rome Plows" for 5:45. Same level of lyrical content and complexity as Crash, but they take infinitely longer to perform it. And it's a small sample size, but I'm pretty sure Crash & the Boys are better musicians. I gave up halfway through the nearly 9.5-minute-long fourth track. Music may not be a race, but I've got shit to do, man. Like watch "Scott Pilgrim" for the umpteenth time.

Waar ik gisteren positief verrast was door de band Slipknot wordt ik vandaag geconfronteerd door meer chaotischere rockmuziek. Ik had misschien iets vaags als dit verwacht. Kortom, dit is niks. *

I've never been so jealous of Vincent Van Gogh and Beethoven...

i remember bleh? but idk if i even listened to any

It seems as though this album will never end. It must end at some point, right? it’s at times like this I review the choices that have led me to this project.

Oh god no. Its US Garage band with early nu metal stylings. made me feel physically sick.

Bloody awful racket

Too much noise. Not worth finishing.

I couldn’t make it past track two. Not fair to review.

I’m the wrong audience. I think this is rubbish.

Only listened to parts of the first five tracks before fleeing this assault on my ears. Usually the only good thing that can be said about songs and albums like these is that they're really short. Not so this monstrosity.

Really not good at all. Songs way to long. Couldn’t get into it. 1/5

not good

1 heure et 9 minutes qui semblent 28 années bravo à eux pour avoir réussi à distorde l’espace temps (je suis encore en train d’écouter là) help

Man, I connected with no part of this album. Felt like an hour plus of just screaming and I wanted to scream back at it. Not an enjoyable listen for me… but cheer to those who dig this album!

Shame on the list for wanting to steal 1 hour and 9 minutes of my wicked little life. But I maintained the upper hand: I stopped even trying to listen after what seemed like the 15th song.

bullshit

Och jongens, wat een ellende.

Horrible

Not for me. I managed to miss them the first time around. Sadly, that didn't hold.

Not for me. There were a couple of moments but they were fleeting. They were a band I completely missed the first time around, but this time I wasn’t so lucky.

Too hardcore for me, wasn't super enjoyable.

Very discordant and obnoxious. Would be better without the screamy lead singer

Absolute screaming, feedbacky ass. Nope.

Absolutely awful, nothing but screaming and what appears to be white noise. One upside, there are no cats crapping in my garden now

One of the hardest to get through albums I have heard so far on this list. While others I have rated low for being boring or not taking any chances, this is the first one I have gotten where it felt like the music was actively trying to be as annoying as possible which REALLY bugged me. Luau is just painful noise for the last couple of minutes. and Super Unison has an irritating dog whistle going off for the first 30 seconds of the song. While these songs stood out to me in a negative way, the album as a whole did not feature any successful riffs, melodies, and moments that made this worth listening to in spite of those agonizing parts (especially considering it is over an hour long). I do not consider myself a fan of dark/abstract emo rock so this album clearly is not for me, but it is hard for me to see any redeeming qualities that someone would get out of this even if they are a fan of the genre. I cannot deny that they took chances here (which keeps it from being at the very bottom of my list), but this is one I would never want to come back to. 1.5/5.

I'm not at a place where I can appreciate the energy and volume of their abrasive and scream-fueled rock.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL! Rating: 2/10

Not good. Kinda bad, actually. I'd give it 1.5 stars if I could, but I can't. It's really not the worst thing ever, but it's definitely not worth listening to.

Olipas kuraa, huutamista ja räminää. Wikipedian mukaan post-hardcorea. Alkaa käymään selväksi, että post-punk ja ilmeisesti myös post-hardcore aiheuttavat meikäläisessä aika vahvoja inhoreaktioita. Ainoa biisi joka vähän herätti positiivisia fiiliksiä oli Luau, mutta ehkä sekin alkoi vain tuntua tutulta pitkän kestonsa ansiosta. Kenelle tätä oikein tehdään?

Some time of punk? (because of the guy screaming all the time)

Awful noise

Utter & complete rubbish

This is dreadful. No melody, shouting, really abrasive sound.

Sucko.

1/5 didn't like it at all. It was irritating at times!

Very screamy lacking any originality.

helemaal niks voor mij, veel te wild

Wyjce przybywajcie nasze uszy rozsadzajcie, ma odraze rozwijajcie, do zycia zniechecajcie, w kraine ciszy wypedzajcie, uwazam ze krotka inwokacja jak najbardziej na miejscu, bo jeszcze nie mialem takiego hardkora wsrod wczesniej wylosowanych, grupa moze nie undergrundowa, ale raczej niszowa gatunkowo, wiec pierwszy raz slysze cos podobnego, a dlaczego podobnego bo niby sa to wyjce, ale nie klasyczne wyjce, tylko z lat 90 wiec garaze i multiwersum podgatunkow, tutaj wiki mowi, ze trafilem na emo wyjce i nawet pasuje, ale polaczne z matematycznymi nerdami, takimi ktorzy lubia poharatac na ostro, a skad takie przypuszczenie, ze to matematyczne swiry, bo matematyczne swiry ukladaja walenie w gitarki zeby brzmialo to jak synfonia walenia w gitarke, a nie zwykle haratanie pijanego dziada, a dodatkowo nazwy kawalkow zdradzaja geekowy charakter bandy, jak tytul do u compute czy chocby new math, w liryce ktora zazwyczaj ciezko sluchac, bo jest ona wyta sa jakies iksy dupiksy, ale strasznie wyte, czuje ze lepiej by mi sie tego sluchalo o wiele lepiej bez wokalu, bo emo to jednak nie moj styl muzyczny, na plejce zawita wspominany new math

ironiquement j 'aurais souhaité partir ... sans avoir entendu cela

Loud, screamy, and garbled. Not a fan. Did not finish.

The perfect album.........if I had I been playing THPS. Not bad but too garage punk for me. The first 4 songs felt like one. Needs more variety.
