Mekanik destruktiw kommandoh

Magma · 3 likes

5/5

Oh! That's my modest contribution to the user list alright. Christian Vander's mind must be quite the maze. At the death of John Coltrane he wanted to create something to honor him and that was the birth of Zeuhl. There's some jazz in there, for sure, but it's heavily mixed with wagnerian opera and outer space military rythms under the prog rock stamp. One of the craziest albums I've ever heard and a concept that spans over their whole discography. It's something I think everyone should hear at least once, even if it's clearly not made for every ears. Hope you enjoy it!

Great modern take on Wyrd Folk. Beautiful album and very happy to find this here!

Sounds like if Tom Waits was in an industrial/post-punk band (like an extension to Bone Machine, I guess). What a nightmare!

Holy Diver

5/5

One of my favorite Heavy Metal albums and it really should've been in the original list. Great addition!

Come And Get It

Rachel Stevens

3/5

After going through 1089 albums that were more or less pretty shitty, I wouldn't have thought of a solo album by a girl from S Club 7, but hey. Who am I to judge? Still, I was surprised by how good it was, considering the genre. Way to go!

Once Upon a Rhyme

David Allan Coe

2/5

Generic Country music. Some songs were nice, but I largely prefer Marty Robbins & Co.

Espers

Great modern take on Wyrd Folk. Beautiful album and very happy to find this here!

2/5

Puzzle

Biffy Clyro

3/5

Not bad stuff, but clearly stuck in its time. I enjoyed some audacious arrangements, but I was mainly worn down by the cheesiness of it all.

Racine carrée

Stromae

2/5

I understand that a lot of people like this and that the beats are mostly pretty nice, but as a french speaker I find most of his themes very cringey. Even the hits can't save this one as a whole, for me.

Diary

Sunny Day Real Estate

4/5

Very good! Midwest Emo was very much underrepresented on the official list, so it's very cool to find this (and American Football) on the user list.

Korn

2/5

Better than the one offered on the ''true'' list, but not a great album either. Really not necessary here.

Polygondwanaland

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

5/5

Probably my favorite from King Gizzard and a true masterpiece of modern prog/psych!

Young, Loud And Snotty

Dead Boys

2/5

Sounds like your usual "1001" album. Pretty generic stuff, in my opinion.

Blackwater Park

Opeth

4/5

Mostly sounds like Porcupine Tree with screams, but still pretty good and their best album.

Check Your Head

Beastie Boys

4/5

Yeah, like 3 Beastie Boys wasn't enough already. I mean, this one is very good, but is that really the only thing you can offer to the list diversity?

The Crimson Idol

W.A.S.P.

2/5

An heavy metal rock opera that is as interesting as watching your clothes dry on the line. What a W.A.S.T.E. of time.

Mekanik destruktiw kommandoh

Magma

5/5

Human Racing

Nik Kershaw

3/5

Mom, can we have Duran Duran? No, we already have Duran Duran at home. Duran Duran at home :

Bricks Are Heavy

2/5

Maybe this album will go away if I pretend I'm dead.

Artaud

Pescado Rabioso

5/5

This! This is great stuff and it should be on the original list alright.

Blink-182

blink-182

2/5

Boring and generic pop punk. I'm sorry, but I can't stand this kind of stuff and I still can't believe how famous they got with this.

Funeral Dress

Wussy

3/5

Nothing bad, but all I hear is a generic 2000's indie rock/folk band like so many of them back then.

A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships

The 1975

1/5

I can't believe anyone would suggest to add this album to the list. What a horrible experience.

Holy Diver

Dio

5/5

One of my favorite Heavy Metal albums and it really should've been in the original list. Great addition!

The Decline of British Sea Power

Sea Power

3/5

It's alright, but this genre was more than covered on the original list.
