"I'm 14 and angry but my mum won't let me listen to proper metal"
Steely Dan are a great band but I always feel like I'm listening to a overdone pastiche of another great band I really want to listen to
A band trying to find something new but still not quite there yet but its still good because its radiohead
Fun. Seems quite dated now
Sounds really cliché and slow now, hard to imagine what it would be like listening to it originally but must have made an impact
i dont do the drugs that might make me enjoy this album
i would have liked to have been at that show
this is good 60s stuff, had to skip the pissing about with synthesizers though
disco basslines are the best basslines
sounds like mariah carey sacked her backing band and her songwriting team and got a bloke who mashes a keyboard with one hand and hits things with the other whilst she makes up words on the spot and warbles. dont get me wrong, its still better than mariah carey, its just not very good
interesting. felt a bit like i'd rather be listening to nick cave. 2nd disc was boring.
Great music but the whole concept and the weird over the top fretless bass would be frowned at and ridiculed if released today
pretty cliched and his vocals-AH are really annoying-AH but things that become cliche were usually good till everyone got fed up of them. some great music and technique but mostly sounds really thin and overproduced. felt quite jarring when 'one' popped up, which stands head and shoulders above the other tracks
not really my thing but good stuff
ive always known i should listen to charles mingus and now i have im glad of it but by the end of that i felt a little on edge
the pre-packed, oven-ready, homogenised, airbrushed, bland version of rock and roll for which the 80's must answer for
little vignettes of peculiarly british, often mundane and always disturbing experiences wrapped in twee bouncy music which somehow makes the whole thing comforting.
The black pioneers of blues have a lot to be angry about
life in middle america sounds very dull
interesting jolly poppy stuff
shoe gaze if you want to but its really dull
He's good, but he's not as good as he thinks he is
this was weird and enjoyable
Dreamy, pleasant and catchy
im sure they were all having a lovely time
There's a buffet restaurant near me where you can eat food from every country at the same time. People sit at a table eating poorly cooked curry in a rubbery Yorkshire pudding with a side of dry spaghetti bolognese. Its an abomination
That's a lot of hammond. now i know where the music for all those scenes in films where they're doing something slightly surreptitious came from
"listen, i know you paid a lot for those keyboards but have you ever thought they sound a bit, you know, shit?"
"nah, keyboards are the future mate"
"its just the drums and guitars all sound really good but the keyboards kind of ruin th.."
"the future mate"
I like classic hip-hop, I don't like this. I can't says its bad but it feels like one of those modern remakes of a classic car where it does the things its meant to do much better but without any of the charm.
im glad we're in a post post punk world
pretty non de script but fine
You're a teenager in the 90s and like all teenagers you need loud music to annoy your parents. They've had rock and metal and punk so it really needs to be really nasty, electronic and disturbing
was straight shooter the inspiration for the countdown timer music?
really slow and dull and the call response thing is annoying
not what i expected, but good
this was not as bad as beyonce
they sound like they are enjoying themselves
This album unsurprisingly comes across as a mediocre facsimile of The Smiths, who despite Morrissey being a knob are a great band.
The Smiths made such an impact that I now don't need to listen to Morrissey to get more Smiths because there are bands who are good facsimiles of them, like Another Sunny Day and particularly, Northern Portrait, a Scandinavian band who sing Smiths songs about Volvos.
while black hole sun is great, queens of the stone age autoplayed after this and it was a lot better
its good. it doesnt seem like he was a very nice fella though
you know those airbrushed paintings you get on the side of fairground rides? Like a slightly off picture of tom cruise doing a stunt or a gurning generic superhero? this is to music as those are to art.
the squeaky noise all the way through this is a drum called a Cuíca which is played by rubbing a wet cloth against a rosined stick which is against the very taught skin of the drum.
its ok. doesnt sound very punky now and its pretty bland compared to the contemporary dexys album i got played earlier. feels like a historic artifact rather than anything i want to listen to
couple of bangers but the rest is a bit meh
sometimes you want to listen to angry music
that was good and interesting
feels like an "influenced loads of people" band . probably better live
little richard is here, and he makes me feel uncomfortable
if the recommended songs that came on after an album are 40+ years newer and sound the same that tells you a lot
