Weird - just weird and not in a good way.

So my scale is 1=hate, 2=dislike, 3=like,4=really like and 5=love. Had a hard choice on this one - do I dislike it or do I hate it. Finally decided hate was the best choice for this one.

Ugh, ugh, so, so, huh, yeah no. no. no. no.

Revolution 9 almost made be take a way a star!

I was in high school and college when the late '70s and early '80s new wave and post-punk bands was taking off and I thought I listened to most of the music from that era. This album proves that I didn't hear everything. Now I know why - this album is so bad that my local record store must not have stocked it which is really the only way I could find out about this type of music where I lived at that time. I could only listen to about 1/4 of the length of each song on the album before I hit skip to the next song. I went back and read the reviews in my old "The New Trouser Press Record Guide" book and yup, their reviews matched my take. I really hate given an early '80s band a 1 but there it is!

Iggy Pop saved this from getting a 1 star

If I would not have listened to the whole album but just the first half this would have gotten 1 star due to that irritating thin breathy voice. Not until the end did a hear her voice that actually sounded great - too little and too late to get anything other than 2 stars.

Weird - just weird and not in a good way.

OK another weird one but weird in kind of good way. Not good enough to get 3 stars but there were a few songs I actually liked - that being said there were a few songs that were horrid. So composite score is a 2 star. I listened to the "bonus" songs that were remixes and live and some of those were actually the better ones. But those I didn't take into account since they weren't on the original album when released.

I was expecting to like this but other than the the songs Changes and Song for Bob Dylan and one or two others which Iikded, the rest sonically reminded me of some Off Broadway Play musical or some high school Cabaret presentation. The lyrics might be excellent but just couldn't handle the sound on most of the songs.

Spotify only had 4 songs from the album so only heard 1/2 of album. So I’m assuming the other 4 or worst than the 4 really bad sounding songs so it gets a 1 star. Anita’s voice just didn’t offset the really bad music.

Well with this album not being on Spotify and I could only find 2 songs on Pandora, I had to make an educated guess on the rating based on the small sample size. I enjoyed what I heard (even though I didn't understand anything)!

Bye, goodbye Sister Disco, Now I go I go where the music, where the music fits my soul...

I’ve heard of The Slits but never listened before. Looking at the reviews, I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised! Really enjoyed the reggae enspired punk vibe on many of the tracks! The critics just don’t get the original punk DYI attitude! loved it!

Fix Up, Look Sharp saved this reviewer from giving this album a 1 star. Grime is sub-genre that I hope doesn’t show up in any other of the 1001 albums!

So my scale is 1=hate, 2=dislike, 3=like,4=really like and 5=love. Had a hard choice on this one - do I dislike it or do I hate it. Finally decided hate was the best choice for this one.

Ugh, ugh, so, so, huh, yeah no. no. no. no.
