Reviews (page 8 of 8)
Fans of this album don't need to have their Chuck Norris knowledge acknowledged. They harbor resentment towards the Coen Brothers for lying about Fargo being based on actual events. Don't ask them to explain their body art. You don't have time to hear about their body art. For one thing, they despise the phrase "body art" and just call them "tattoos".
Horrendous
Bit shouty. Exactly what you'd expect from the album name/art.
I hate this style of singing, so it was pretty much unlistenable for me.
It felt like I was under attack, which I suppose was the point. It was more physical experience than music like going on a fairground ride. Once you got over the adrenaline it was just not very exciting or interesting. There is music I like that does similar things but this just felt pointless.
Pants. With skid marks.
this album really… confused me because I really hate this kind of metal music, but when I tried to think of what made me hate it, I felt hypocritical since there are other genres I love that have those same qualities I love hard rock (eg. Helter Skelter and Led Zeppelin) I love punk/post-punk (I love Le Tigre and I still need to get around to hearing Kathleen Hanna’s other stuff, Sonic Youth is amazing too, I also enjoy GRLwood’s songs but I hate that the singer is an awful person) I love Industrial (Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor all the way, bro) and I even enjoy some Grunge here and there (mostly Kurt Cobain’s discography which I don’t listen to often since it’s not really for me but when I do hear it I at least appreciate the hell out of it) And this is kinda why Swans is probably my favorite band, they have amazing diversity from album to album they started out as an Industrial Rock band that would shatter your eardrums every chance they could take, then they moved into post-punk and (in my opinion) made the weirdest post-punk for the time, like you got Joy Division that was making the more dark depressing stuff or Talking Heads who loved messing around and breaking the rules and getting kinda weird, but when you listen to Swans’ Children of God, it’s just so far distant and weird from any of the other stuff I’ve heard, it’s amazing to me anyway, after that they made post-rock and without spending forever talking about why I love it, their entire discography is just consistently amazing to me and I recommend you check them out if you’re a fan of Industrial, post-punk or post-rock, there’s probably a few albums they have that you’d enjoy (other super weird bands (that are difficult to label genre-wise) that I enjoy are Xiu Xiu and Kengo Iuchi, but that’s super weird stuff that you’re probably gonna have a hard time enjoying unless you’ve already been down the rabbit hole with other wild stuff) sorry, back to the album ughhhhh… I just hate it and I don’t know why I was even trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and hear their first album before this one and all it did was give me 2 albums to loath today it just sounds so douchey, I fucking hate every song my running theory is that it’s about the fanbase, the awful fucking fanbase like when I listen to this shit all I think of is some fat fuck who’s got his hair grown down to his ass crack, paired with a red bandana and a crusty, cum-stained t-shirt of whatever lame-ass band they need everyone to know they love they think they’re so tough and cool but they’re one big mac away from a heart attack like idk, this just sounds like neckbeard music for neckbeards who think they’re all hard and shit the lyrics sound like they were written by a fourteen year old who watched V for Vendetta (or Fight Club) and got “radicalized” there’s very little to enjoy about an album like this when it comes to a biased little shit like me, I’m gonna give it a 2/10 but even that feels too generous I mean fuck dude, I hated this so much I spent half the review talking about bands that I actually enjoy
HEAVY METAL BY DEFINITION!!!
-The scooped-mid guitar tone is abysmal -The tough-guy posturing is embarrassing for anyone older than 18 -Fucking Hostile sounds like they tried to write a Ride-era Metallica song but forgot the part where Metallica is good -Walk is goofy as hell and has been memed into oblivion at this point -Vulgar display of bad music
Definitely not for me. I couldn't even listen to most of it.
какофония
Absolute pish, hated every minute of it.
Could listen to a instrumental version of this album much easier than this one with screaming. Glad I made it through the end. My ears need a break. Ouch.
Awful. The worst album so far
7th October 2021 Listened while working from Marbella. Not my thing. Got time for heavy metal as a genre, but not for me.
This kind of music is literal torture for me.
Orkar eeeerj
Motorsågs-gitarrer, inget för mig ;)
Ho hum... On etrack is enough really, you know what you're getting. And then there's the slow one...
not for me
Metal isn't for me
I'm not a fan so this is going to be rough. I don't enjoy the vocals at all.
Too screamy for me.
Yeah right, alsof ik hier 52 minuten en 52 seconden naar ga zitten luisteren. Na 3 minuten en 54 seconden was het klaar met deze ellende.
Ik heb het geprobeerd maar was snel klaar met proberen.
bad. screamo
Extremely not for me :/
I don’t like metal. Incoherent screaming isn’t entertaining.
I do not like metal.
Metal is just not for me in most cases.
