Discosis

Not my thing

Carried primarily by the opening hit single assisted by Curtis Mayfield, Discosis is more of a Canadian oddity rather than a must-hear album that defined any particular sound of the 2000s. Most of Bran Van 3000's music feels like a proto-LCD Soundsystem that's less focused than it's American counterpart. Also not nearly as fun or interesting. And too long! Woof, lots of things going against this album. CONTENDER FOR THE LIST: Nope.

This is a joke, right? If it is, it's a good one, and fully deserves a second star. If not, and someone really thinks "brand van 3000 should be in the book", then it deserves one star (at most). A shambles of an album, with some interesting guests (mostly in a 'how did they convince them to be on the record' way) and no songs I felt the need to hear a second time. Better than the very worst of the original list, but barely. But it's a joke, yeah? It must be, mustn't it?

Stylistically a bit scattershot and confusing. Vocals are pretty flat and the use of sampled/guest parts don't always feel organic to the music. Fave Songs: Astounded, Loop Me, Discosis, Predictable

I quite liked the first song and then it was all downhill from there. French Canadians are so weird. Bonus points to the person that submitted this because you have very unique taste. 3/10

This was just too drawn out. I thought the first song was cool but it dropped off shortly after that and over an hour was a chore. 2/5.

This band’s sound from song to song is among the most inconsistent I’ve heard. The poor quality of lyrics are like a middle school boy used ChatGPT to write songs for a girl he likes.

A promising first song, but it went downhill from there to a bizarre album. Apparently, they have a good work on soundtracks for movies and games, and it may work better in this context, but for a full-hour album, it's a no-go for me.

I really do think "Drinking in LA" is one of the best pop songs of the late-90s, but I always suspected Bran Van 3000 were one-hit wonders and this dreadful album just confirmed it.

Nope

Generic, tasteless dance music.

Inferior version of the Persona 3 soundtrack.

Þetta varð fljótt leiðigjarnt

No thanks. I'm already on record for hating electronic music. And this album cover looks like a rendering of some gross basement dwelling incel's dream woman.

Hasn't aged well at all
