Day 96 and the first album I had to stop listening to. It's like a soundtrack to a musical that I don't know if it exists and, if it does, never want to see. Something to play at a social event if you want people to leave.
(Instruments start) Okay, sounds good so far. (Singing begins) Oh no.
Sounds like a lot of other 1970s British punk bands, especially the Sex Pistols.

1.5 stars. I have heard of the band but not their music. No wonder why they are hardly mentioned these days or have their music played like other bands from the early 80s. I had to take a look to make sure I was playing the right album because, honestly, this seemed like a joke, as if the band was spoofing the genre with the awful singing. It is bewildering how it is included in the 1,001 albums.
Not short enough.
I loathed this album. The writing was shit, the band was shit, the singing was shit. It was like the singer decided to sing every song in the worst possible way.
I mistakenly thought it was ELO and when they started playing I thought man why do they suck so bad? Even the audience at times sounded a bit unsure about clapping after a song ended. I think I even heard people leaving for the exits.
This guy again?! I listened to his other album about two months ago and didn't like that one either. I don't understand how two(!) of his albums made the list. At least I can rest assured knowing that there are no more inclusions of this artist's albums in the list.
In The Wonder Years' Kevin Arnold narrator voice: It was at that moment that I realized that Leonard Cohen was not, in fact, my man.
When you want to hear the band but the singer keeps getting in the way.
I get a little worried whenever one of these albums is from some post-2000 rock band that I have never heard of, because there has to be a good reason why that is so. Now having heard one of their albums, if I never hear from them again I would be okay with that.
9/10 Would be 10/10 if it wasn't for that awful free jazz destroying the end of "The National Anthem."
I was about to quit listening to the album when I noticed that a number of reviews mentioned how awful the final song was. Curiosity piqued, I continued listening to the bitter end. I'm pretty sure one day there will be a horror film with a scene where someone enters a house of a serial killer and "The Toonerville Trolley" will be playing.
Thanks, but I already have Moby on CD.
One of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die? Unjustified.
Had some Father John Misty vibes to it, but not good ones.
Absolute shite.
Light Beer Rock
The string band was not, in fact, incredible.
Pretty impressive. I listened to the entire album and I hated every song.
(Instruments start) Okay, sounds good so far. (Singing begins) Oh no.
This Neil Diamond album SUCKS
Scheiße.
Average rating: 3.64 (0.41 above global average).
