Reviews (page 11 of 11)

I started with low expectations and they were lowered

My interest in these guys discography ends after ghost town man I’m so disappointed how boring this album is

You have to REALLY be a student of music history to appreciate this album. I hated it. Maybe there are some redeeming qualities of the lyrics but I couldn’t get past the music. Just painful to listen to. 0/5

British reggae mixed with bad ska. Best track: Little Bitch

Een marteling

Couldn't get behind the Ska genre, couldn't finish unfortunately

I think it's fine that I missed this one I like the Amy Winehouse cover og "Monkey Man" though

Highlight - Little Bitch I just don't like Ska or Reggae.

not a fan

Typical liberals - bitching about the system while profiting off it. would give this album a zero if i could

Nope. Nope nope nope. During the first two songs I thought it's OK-ish. Maybe a 2. But songs three and four were sooo bad that I had to stop. I also hated the really weird mix. It somehow sounds like the singing and the instrumentation were recorded simultaneously but pretty far away from each other. Really weird mixing.

Not a fan

Made it a few tracks in before having to stop... I dont know what mood I'd have to be in to enjoy this

Highlight - Little Bitch I just don't like Ska or Reggae.

Couldn't get on board with this one. It's like a messy mix of ska and punk and it sounds incredibly dated.

Das 6. Album meines Projektes und ich bin kurz davor, aufzuhören. Nach dem Erstling von The Clash nun also diese beinahe ebenso unerträgliche Ska-Platte. Schon der 1. Song verheißt NICHTS gutes...('Message to Rudy', enthält keinerlei Message). Nur weil ich es instrumentell und kompositorisch besser als The Clash finde (und im Gegensatz dazu sogar durchhören konnte), kann ich trotzdem nur einen Stern vergeben. Nie wieder.

Not my favorite, this was a bit raw, their later music was a lot more polished.

holy shit this was a struggle to listen to, like a mix of reggae and early-ish punk. dated, ridiculously cliche lyrics, nothing I ever want to hear again. 1/5.
