US Female led punk. Pretty enjoyable if a bit generic and probably even better live. Lead singer has a good voice. Probably wouldn't come back to (hence a 3) but enjoyed the ride.
Rap (US or UK) is just not my genre so it's fighting a losing battle. However no skits, and his flow is good. I'm not really interested in his life (or his crew) and I find the backing tracks a bit dull. I think I prefer it over Skepta's Konnichiwa but it's still a chore. The Sabbath sample made me smile though.
Never heard of this band. Really shit cover. Let's listen...Better that the cover. Genetic well executed hard rock. Singer good but hits a lot of cliches vocal stylings. Bit AC/DC bit Audioslave.
I think this is really good. Never heard of her. Massively ballsy indie folk album that I will play again. I even googled, and she's playing live in a couple of months about 20 mile away from me. Thank you nominator.
The background synth pop was v bland and uninspiring. Can't say much about thd breathy vocals as they were French. Dull.
EMO classic in told. Nirvana/Pumpkins lite I feel. Maybe too harsh but it just doesn't do anything for me
It's a bit Devo and a bit Talking Heads. However it's got a very 80s production which I do not like and it loses a star because of THOSE drums and high treble sound. I admire it's ambitious nature though.
Competent cliche ridden groove metal.I dont like it much. The genre has to offer more to entertain the non-metal fan. 1.5
J-Pop. Never listened before. Bright but vacuous. I have absolutely no interest but admire it in a weird way.
Thought I would find bland but honestly found haunting and massively likable. Reminded me of early Fleet Foxes. Especially like the voices and production. Thank you nominator.
Yikes. This band has been on my radar for ages and I've always been a little afraid. As they are the heirs of the Dead (and my fave GD album is Live Dead) I feel this should be my entry point. It's tight yet jazzy....It needs more than one listen but at 2 hours it's not going to get it. It was released to please the bootleggers fans and not me. I'm not convinced...but I admire....
Alt funk metal experts that pummel and romance with style. Prob their best though haven't listened to later ones. Relentless.
Jeez. I just had the Phish live album. This is taking the piss. It sounds like background music in a dive bar. The guy can sing, the band are proficient and tight but it's muso twiddling wankery. You can't think it should have been on the original list.....really?
