This is horrible. I get the sentiment and what it must have meant for its time but it's just noise on repeat. Nobody can like trains this much

Was excited to listen when I saw a Beatles album. I had never given them much of a chance but obviously knew of their influence. This album was not good.

Figured I would hate it but it thoroughly surprised me.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

Random noise bull. Definitely doesn't NEED to be heard by anyone. This is like modern art in music form. The illusion of something clever and artful while offering no actual substance.

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

1/5

This right after Throbbing Gristle feels like penance for getting Wish You Were Here the day prior. This was better than Throbbing Gristle, but not enough to get a 2 star.

Meh. Another just ok british album that is on here for reasons unbeknownst to the listener. I'm sure it has some sort of influence I have missed, but that doesn't make it required listening. Not offensive, but not special.
