10,000 gecs

Oh man, 100 gecs. I listened to this album somewhat close to the time that it came out. I seem to remember listening to it on my way to a therapist appointment. I don't know why, but thinking about this album gives me a visual of that specific parking garage. I remember having pretty high hopes for this album based on what I'd read about it, but I don't think it landed with me. I can't remember any specific songs, but I'm sure the overall sound and vibe will come back to me once I fire this up. Oof, yeah, this album just isn't for me. I respect the energy and the way they use this jumbled chaos to create their sound, but this just isn't something I enjoy listening to. I believe that this chaotic sound is supposed to be representative of the general anxiety of life today, and while 100 gecs hits that mark square on, I find it really unpleasant to listen to. I do think that this duo has quite a bit to say in their lyrics, and they find funny and clever ways to say it, but it's just a little too all over the place for me. I think when I first listened to this album, I expected something along the lines of Crystal Castles or Sleigh Bells, but this album is definitely not either of those things. I appreciate the artistry here, but this album is not for me.

I was honestly expecting much worse, like I was expecting to really cringe and I did cringe but only a little. It sounds like the kinda thing gamers listen to as they fail to grasp a life outside mum’s basement. That being said I actually DO think it deserves its place on the list and I enjoyed it as something truly unique. And come on it’s less than half an hour it’s not life ruining. It’s like I got my tooth removed is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard but Doritos and Fritos (for a song named Doritos and Fritos) is surprisingly very good. Hollywood baby is great and frog on the floor was genuinely very interesting. The bad moments drag it to a 2/5

I ärlighetens namn så var det här inget vidare. Fanns väl någon lyssningsbar låt och ett litet plus är att skivan var väldigt kort.

A lot of unpleasant noise and blips of talent and melody

Allright, I'm getting old, I get it!

Hyperpop, pop punk, electronic rock, ska, nu metal. No,nonono,nonono.

I'm too old for this bullshit.

Favorite songs: Hollywood Baby, Dumbest Girl Alive, Billy Knows Jamie, mememe Least favorite songs: The Most Wanted Person in the United States, One Million Dollars 2/5

Weren’t we already forced to listen to this? Their shtick works in just the last song. The best that can be said of the rest of the songs is that they’re short.

Between this and Charlie XCX I am on auto tune overload tonight.

All of these songs feel longer than they really are.

A mish mash of genres and styles, perhaps designed to be consumed in 30 seconds bursts on Tic Toc. 10 tracks and been and gone in 27 minutes. Excellent for the attention spanily challenged. Rating: 2.5 Playlist track: Hollywood Baby Date listened: 30/09/24

What’s better than 1000 gecs, 10,000 gecs? Not too sure if any amount of gecs is considered great but some people love these guys. Maybe I’m just getting older and don’t know what good music is anymore. Or maybe it’s the kids who are wrong. Either way This is not for me. 4.1/10

Surprising mash-up of heavy rock and electro as is the electro-clash fashion du jour in the early 2020s. The experimental noises later in the EP are not useful.

I think I'm getting too old to still 'get' this.

A mishmash of genres drenched in layers of irony. Undoubtedly a unique blend, but it comes across like the sonic equivalent of a novelty mountain dew flavor. Won't be part of my regular rotation, but I have no doubt they will be included in future editions of the book. My favorite track was "One Million Dollars," which was more sample based. If the whole album was more of a collage like that, I'd be on board. But when they sing it just kind of makes me wince, especially when auto-tuned - regardless of whether that was an ironic aesthetic choice or not.

Why is this even considered worth putting on this list… Here today, gone tomorrow.

The earlier tracks are better exemplars. And the gecs are producers par excellence; 10,000 is closer to a sizzle reel than an album in length and breadth. Not here does wider genre play translate to a superior sophomore effort.

like having your nutsack removed

Oh so I can't finish one song.... the beat for the first song was KINDA fun but then like jesus this is horrible. are you guys not taking this seriously? who the hell was this made for? testing to see if people are actually deaf because i would turn this off in a HEARTBEAt.

Whoever said you can't judge a <> by its cover was clearly an idiot. This one is perfect. Oh! Would the user who submitted this please send me their address, I have something for you that I'll just quickly leave on your front porch - just make sure to wear your best shoes to the porch when the bell rings! JFC - you all have lost the plot. 0/10 IMO: Belonged in the book? gtfo

I've listened to 1167 albums & this is definitely in the bottom 30.

So one's supposed to consider the Internet a musical instrument now? No thanks. Zero stars. Gotta think recommender is trolling for that's what the terminally online do, right?

Very random and eclectic sounding. Not a fan of the vocals, auto tuner, or the lyrics. It’s definitely unique but 100% not for me.

Ooh, that’s a bit much for me. I couldn’t even hack 26mins I’m afraid.

Can't do Gecs. It's totally beyond me. It's probably the fifty layers of autotune and the "random xd" humor that makes this sound like nails on chalkboard to me. The Garden pulls off this weird manic shit so much better. Better than their debut. 1/5.

Absolute dog shit. Nothing else to say about that

Thank you, I hated that so much. Now and again it would do something that sounded like it had the potential to be good. Frog on the floor was okay and did some okay bits. I got my tooth removed felt a bit ska and fun but the vocals were so grating. Whole thing sounded like an A-level students just getting drunk on effects and trying whatever the hell they like.

Absolutely pish. Like the worst dubstep songs re-recorded by children, with lyrics by barely literate toddlers. Must be one of the worst albums I have ever heard. At least it's short

Sorry even 25 mins of this was too much for me, the winey vocals did my head in.

Come on. No.

I can’t make heads or tails of this and did not finish

Only good thing about this album was how short it was. And the song about the frog was sort of cute, but that's not enough to redeem this one. 1 star.

Good electronic beat with vocals that seem intentionally diffuse. It caught my attention that they have a slight eighties feeling, but suddenly it turns into very noisy or unclear music... it's a strange mashup of tracks that doesn't quite define itself.
