Very simple but must have been pretty groundbreaking at its time. Most songs are good but also too similar sounding.
I don’t really like this style of HipHop but some tracks like “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Project Ya Neck” are still good. It was fun to see where MF DOOM got inspiration from.
The instrumentation is perfect in every single song. Especially the high tempo songs are great. And when I looked at when this was made I was blown away.
I can’t believe this is 70’s Rock.
The members of The Police shaped like 90% the Rock we know today. Way ahead of their time.
A little too much Pop for me but still good. My favorites were “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight” and “Man On The Moon”.
Too crazy and chaotic for me. I kind of vibe with the first track but not with the others at all.
Nina contains a wonderfull ability to create soft folk ballads with her guitar. I’m a big fan of simple albums with just good and simple songs but my favorite albums are more experimental or crazy so a 4/5 from me.
These guys are a nerfed Guns N’ Roses. A lot of albums have this issue where the songs sound too much alike. But this time it was actually so bad that sometimes, when one song ended and the next one started, I thought it just was the same song that wasn’t finished.
I did however like “God Save The Queen”, “Problems” and “Pretty Vacant”.
“What do I call this music?” was one of the first things I was thinking about when listening to this. Something about this kind of reminds me of The Car by Arctic Monkeys, but then again it’s completely different. I feel like “Light” and “Perfect Sense” from The Car connects in some way but I can’t say anymore about the genre.
This is a quality I actually really like. It’s nice to listen to music that doesn’t have a clear definition of genre for once in a while. Who the hell hears this and immediately goes
“That’s gotta be Phsychedelic Soul!”.
Micheal Kiwanuka had been told by record labels to chance his artist name because it would be hard to promote with. It’s pretty forgettable because of its length. Luckily he didn’t and in this album he sure wears it with honor, almost like a medal. His unique genre is very simple but amazes me every time I listen. Songs like “I’ve Been Dazed” and “Piano Joint” are both really simple, but everything just works so good together.
The record has smooth transitions, an one-of-a-kind atmosphere and the ability to expand your music taste if you give it a fair chance (trust).
Only 2 things I didn’t really like was the overall production which made me skeptical that this was from 2019, and the drum cymbals on “Rolling” which would get annoying during the chorus.
My favorite song was “Hard To Say Goodbye”.
Too simple for me
I mean no songs here are really bad, but they are just too simple and boring for my taste. I mean the outro “Ambulance Blues” are 9 minutes long, but has just a simple guitar groove and a boring atmosphere all the way through. Some tracks like “Walk On”, “Revolution Blues” and “For the Turnstiles” are good but nothing manages to really stand out.
Simple music isn’t bad music but in this case there isn’t quite enough going on for me so I’m giving this a 7,5.
I recommend this to fans of Bob Dylan and Soft Folk Rock.
Mmm Yeah
The long instrumental tracks are great. I love instrumental Funk like this and the cover art is amazing too. Definetly recommend this for background music.
Classic Protest Rock ain’t for me.
And his voice is super overrated.
I love these Kanye type beats but tbh most are a little overproduced. Like in “Just Might Be OK”. I like everything about that song (especially the drums), but the sound of what I now believe to be a plane or smth sounded like a fucking fart noise to me so that ruined the whole song for me.
The cover matches the vibe pretty well. And no songs get boring because of Lupe’s production style so that’s a plus. Also I love the Jay-Z feature.
A 4/5 from me.
Soooooooo Boooooriiiiiiiiing
OMG just kill me please. This feels like eating plain rice for dinner every single day of your life. And undercooked rice at that. These guys manages to make even guitar solos boring, like in “Flaming Youth”. I have always loved their style with their cool make up and all that, but this was my first listen.
Biggest dissapointment ever. And not even a cool Swans dissapointment where I feel like I’m being tortured. Just a huge and boring dissapointment.
This took my joy away from Rock. I want Queens of the Stone Age jams, and young Arctic Monkeys vibes. Not the nursing home lullaies these supplied me with. A 5/10 from me.
But seriously. I know these guys were really important, and “Do You Love Me” was actually good, so no offense to you if you like them.
I really like this Hard Alternative Rock. Gives me a little bit of Nirvana vibes but not 100%. Every song is a blast, and I adore the fact that they added an instrumental track for the outro. Crazy I had never heard of these before.
What do people see in this???
I am happy that this album helped shape the Punk genre we know today, but I am really more confused about it.
I mean come on. The drummer must be so tired having to play the same beat on every fucking song.
I was angry about the songs from the Sex Pistols album sounding too much alike, but this is another level. For making these songs, I believe that all they did, was take the same drums and bassline from the previous song, change the guitar a teeny tiny bit, and write some new lyrics. What were they doing? These tracks could actually have been named “Ramones pt. 1”, then “Ramones pt.2” and so on.
I mean there isn’t a single really bad song. And if there was one bad song. There would be 14 bad songs. They’re all the same!!!
If you have heard any of these songs before and liked it, I would still reccomend that you listen.
I mean 1. It’s still a classic. 2. It’s only 29 minutes long. And 3. You’ll find plenty of songs alike (cloned) the one you first knew.
What a gross album
The cover manages to catch the albums spirit very well. Disgusting and unnessecary. The frontman’s voice is extremely bad and the beats never dissapoint, if you’re looking for something even a baby could cook up.
It might just be me not liking the fusion of Metal and Hiphop, but I don’t understand a single aspect of this. How many times does the vocalist mention something about how cool Limp Bizkit is during this? It wasn’t cool at any time, but it only gets worse when he chooses to do it like 30 times.
I don’t recommend this to anybody. Maybe if you’re absolutely nuts, but if else please stay miles away at all times. This is also literally the worst album name and cover I have EVER seen before. I mean it. Why the actual Fuck would anyone name their album after hotdog flavoured water?
This is also probably the worst outro EVER. Shut Up!!!!!! So anoying.
Of course credit shall be given where credit is due, so I have to say that I did think that “Getcha Groove On” actually was fine.
