Album: Autobahn
Artist: Kraftwerk
Year: 1974
Genre: Electronic
Rating: ⭐️Not gonna lie when I played the first song and saw that it was 22 minutes long I was like omg. The album was ok. It felt like one 45 minute song as there wasn’t really any breaks to tell the listener that this is a new song. The mixture of random noises did nothing good for my ears, it was really confusing.
A lot of the songs I thought David Bowie as Jareth in Labyrinth was going to appear at an point, gave me the creeps 😂
Favourite song: Autobahn - while it was disgustingly long, it was the only song with an actual beat to it.
Would I listen again? No
