Game of Fools

Decent execution of the template 80's influenced Rock, but brought absolutely nothing new to my speakers.

Is this Nickelback? This is Viagra hard rock.

Sorry, this is just a “wanna be” album. I wanna be this band, I wanna be that band. This is your typical cover band that somehow swindled someone in to recording them. Unless the lead singer was rich beforehand and losing money everytime they put out an album 🤷🏻‍♂️

I knew to stay away from the album cover and Wiki

Very much not for me. I'm one of the few that gave AC/DC's albums both one stars on the main list, there was no world where I'd be giving this anything higher. I don't even really understand the add, with plenty of other artists having generic hard rock covered thirty years before this album existed. I mean, look at the user who submitted this and you'll probably find I don't think the user exactly listens to anything BUT this kind of music, so... good for them? Do what you enjoy, but don't make everyone else listen to fifty minutes of nothingness.

Meat and potatoes. Let's face it: had this cliché hard rock thing been released in the mid-eighties, maybe it would have reached some sort of "cultural" impact (I'm not even sure, actually, but let's just pretend). Playing that sort of thing 25 years later, though? Well, the skeletons on that awful album cover give you one of the rare "objective" answers the 1001 Albums quest can provide us. Also, seeing the galleries of the user who submitted this album is a very sad thing. Really gives you the impression that said user just hates music overall. Why do some people inflict such harm on themselves? It's just mind-boggling for me. I'm gonna take my own advice now, stop listening to Koritni, and go touch some grass outside. Have a very nice day everyone. --- 1/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums. 6/10 for more general purposes: 5 + 1 ---- Number of albums from the original list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 465 Albums from the original list I *might* include in mine later on: 288 Albums from the original list I won't include in mine: 336 ----- Number of albums from the users list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 49 Albums from the users list I *might* select for mine later on: 63 Albums from the users list I won't select for mine: 117 (including this one) --- Hey, Émile.

Nu gör jag som personen som nominerat denna platta. Jag lyssnar med ett halvt öra, ger inte skivan någon ärlig chans och totalratar den sedan. För det verkar angivaren ha gjort beträffande övriga skivor på listan och satt 1 på det mesta. Känns seriöst.

Like progress never happened
