Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

All Ratings (521)

The review reflects a reaction, but not a reflection on the album itself. It records merely that I was unable to access whatever may be here for others and does not reflect on the artist but on my own training

The soundtrack to anxiety, combining a certain minimalist glass-like chordal progression and disruption with active dissonance, it creates an eerie atmosphere. If you’ve been way too update recently, give this a quick listen and it will drop you back to Earth and maybe further. Still and all, for those not triggered by music, a wonderful, fascinating work of art combining the best of the classical world and post-punk.

Fairly typical post punk rock with the exaggerated singing and shouting and endlessly repetitive riffs that make it almost hypnotic. And 21 songs in 32 minutes—now that’s rocking and rolling.

I’ve never even heard of the group and not certain I have heard any music from the genre or related genres. Music of eerie unease, remind me of the most ethereal of Julee Cruse or other singers of similar style. Overall an enjoyable listen, but not something I’m likely to return to again and again. Good to know what trip-hop or whatever this is sounds like. Tunes that attracted my attention: Deep Water, Machine Gun, Small, Magic Doors

I don’t see it.

Not for me. Not for me should never be taken to mean “not good” or “bad” or “not for you” or anything other than “Not for me.”

A complete surprise and delight to me—I’ll be listening to this frequently.

If I could give it more than 5, I would.

Very repetitive, hard to distinguish the songs from one another

This would be a fifteen out of five. One of the true unmatched masterpieces of modern music.
