Popular Reviews

I hate this putrid crap.

Why is there so much of this on the list? This was crap.

So layed back it sounded like he was singing in his sleep. It almost put me to sleep.

Sounds like a bad parody of metal. Crappy music and cringe lyrics.

Meh. I can’t stand that much of his singing. The sparse arrangements got tiring.

I don’t really like David Byrne’s voice. I can take it in small doses. There is one good song here and a bunch that are meh.

Another forgettable album. Nothing on it memorable in any way.

A true classic. Not a dud on the whole album. And a few greats.

Not a fan of shoegaze. The drum machine was annoying but the vocals were nice. The songs were mostly bland ear wash.

The songs I liked were instrumentals. The rest was bland.

A pleasant listen. Nothing bad on it. One of my favorite songs, The Noise of Carpet, is here.

Not really bad but there is nothing to catch my interest.

I usually don’t like live albums. This was no exception. I hated this one. Terrible sound. Terrible songs.

Crappy synth pop. Lousy singer. And a song that I loathe. Great combo.
