The Man Machine
Kraftwerk • 4/5
Mr. Krabs: [calls the radio station] Yes, hello. I was wondering if you could play that song again. Radio DJ: [from the phone] Hmmm... which one, man? Mr. Krabs: The one that goes "bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-beep." Radio DJ: No, man. You're thinking of "bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-bop." Mr. Krabs: Bee-boo-boo-boo-boo-bop, [garbled telephone noise] bee-boo-boo-bop, [garbled telephone noise] boo-boo-bee-bop? [garbled telephone noise] Not bee-boo-boo-beep? [garbled telephone noise] Bop? [garbled telephone noise] Beep?! [garbled telephone noise] Boo-boo-bop?! [SpongeBob screams.] SpongeBob: Oh my gosh. Why was Mr. Krabs making all those beeping sounds? Could it be that he's... [scene zooms in on him] ...a robot?

"Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five" despite there clearly being SEVEN PEOPLE on the album art. Which one is it, huh?! They are clearly trying to hide something from us. I will not stand for it.

I LOVED this, pleasantly surprised for a band I've (somehow) never heard of. Always a sucker for sampled electronica.
MGMT · 1 likes
4/5
It is clear that this paved the way for a new alt-pop sound, with artists like Tame Impala living the legacy MGMT never could. Only rating this a 4 because it has 3 great genre-defining songs (the rest are your typical experimental-style musical shrugs). This is, undeniably, a must-listen.

I think this album psychologically damaged me. Thank you for ruining my day and eardrums. My only solace whilst listening to forks scraping against plates was that someone said it sounds like hitler is screaming at you. I would joke about this giving me a headache but it genuinely did give me a nasty one.

There's a reason this is called "experimental". It was never meant to reach our ears as a fully fledged album. That being said, this wasn't a horrible listen, just a boring one.
B.B. King
4/5
The engagement makes you feel like you're actually there. I can imagine it: an enigmatic man and his comrades put you in a lighthearted trance of an evening. A fun atmosphere, the beautiful instrumentation is only complemented by the passionate singing and witty remarks. This will probably never be my favourite kind of music but it sure was entertaining.

I was walking home in the dark tonight and by god. I was actually fucking feeling myself to this. Got the jig in my step and everything. 10/10 you have to listen to thriller (the song) walking in the dark.

I'm convinced the people on this website just want to pretend they hate long songs. If a 10min song was split into parts floyd-style no one would bat an eye, I tell you. That being said, this was... fine. I'm sure if you're actively looking for things to hate that's all you'll find, though. This album deserves to be looked upon with fresh perspective, as hard as that may be to do.

Milestone log 2: Day 200!
I am starting to realise just how much I love music in general... my average rating has steadily increased over time and I have found so much new music that I love as a result of this project. I have no doubts that I will go the full way. I wonder whether a new edition to the book is released within the next couple of years...
Now onto this album. Don't quite understand why I am listening to it. As much as I love electronica, this just has nothing of substance. It's fine, just... why?

If you are like me, listening to this album and struggling to listen, then make it a game of sorts. +5 points if you can guess what the rhyme would be, +10 bonus points if you hear a word rhymed with itself.

It's insane to think that I've consistently listened to an album a say for almost a year now. As such, I have regrets that I have mis-rated albums, or that my rating scheme is far too lenient. Like 50% of my ratings are 4 stars... that's not good, right?
As for this album, it is a far cry from the material that makes the white stripes a great band. Not here for the soppy shit.

Radio DJ: No, man. You're thinking of "bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-bop."
Mr. Krabs: Bee-boo-boo-boo-boo-bop, [garbled telephone noise] bee-boo-boo-bop, [garbled telephone noise] boo-boo-bee-bop? [garbled telephone noise] Not bee-boo-boo-beep? [garbled telephone noise] Bop? [garbled telephone noise] Beep?! [garbled telephone noise] Boo-boo-bop?!

This is modern country-pop to a T.
As of the past couple of years, this kind of music (but even more "canned industry faux") has frustratingly populated the charts.
THAT BEING SAID, this is certainly better than that bullshit, even though track-to-track it's a bit samey. Take it from a certified country hater.
