10,000 gecs

What a wild ride! New to me, but I loved it. Don't know if I would get sick of it after a while, but for now it's a 4.5! Thanks to whomever submitted this one!

Nice surprise!

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Dumbest girl alive, Frog on the floor, Doritos and fritos, One million dollars, I got my tooth removed, Mememe

I didn't enjoy a single song but thanks for recommending it. I want more of the weird recs.

How to get energetic and confused at once? Put on this record of 100 gecs. It is annoying as hell in a good way.

First time I can honestly say I'm not out of touch, the kids are wrong. I suspect this is part of a sub culture I'm not aware of, terminally online who's only references are other terminally online.

Hyperpop, pop punk, electronic rock, ska, nu metal. Menudo popurrí. Ni fu ni fa.

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.

It was not good. It was short that's about it. A lot of voice modulators. I did not care for it. It certainly did not need to be recommended to be included on this list.

Lively fun

I NEVER give an album I've heard heard of a perfect 5/5 score. I won't for this one either, but damn I am close! I REALLY enjoyed this one. At fifty-seven years of age, I always thought I'd mellow out.... but, I want to hear more from this band and if the rest is similar to this one - I'll be really happy! Seven Fifty-seven I may never go to heaven! But, at least I got to hear this before I die... Standouts: Mememe, Hollywood Baby, 757, Billy Knows Jamie, One Million Dollars.... ever song! All great. 4.75

Now this is real art

Goodgood

I randomly heard one of their songs on the radio the other day and piqued my interest - glad this popped up. Didn't disappoint. For a freshman album - self released, it awesome!

I was a big fan of 1,000 gecs for its new, everything-at-the-wall take on hyperpop. The joke is much less funny the second time around, though – there are some shining moments, samples, and memories here for sure, but the middle section feels underbaked and tired, almost as if the band is grasping at ideas. There's barely enough to support a scant 26 minutes, and given the time it took to come out I wonder how long the band can keep up the jest.

No.

This is the soundtrack to Gen Z kids with "trauma" and ADHD engaging in pretty crime while vaping. 1/5.

This is... Something. Fast paced, a lot of autotune, some good songs, some I liked less

This was actually pretty cool!

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

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

Fun, frantic, intense, and feels *new*. The list definitely needs something like this on it.

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.

Wow! Weird and wacky… and creative

100 gec's particular brand of hyper pop is more refined on their sophomore release. Still present is the frenetic and seemingly nonsensical mish mash of genres but there's more of a sense of direction here. They employ ska, metal, electronic, and hard rock elements to create something truly unique. I absolutely see why people don't like this band, but for me, they elevate these seemingly disparate sounds and lyrics to art worthy of examination and criticism.

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.

I have no idea what I just listened to but I LOVED it. It’s pure chaos and I’m here for it. I did NOT expect to like this as much as I did. I’m questioning everything I know. Lyrically, it’s pedestrian; amateur at best. But that’s not the point. It’s anarchy in 28 minutes. Almost mocking every aspect of pop to borderline parody levels. 4.5/5 but rounding to 5. 5 stars for this is insanity. I’m embarrassed but also don’t care. I don’t even know who I am anymore. Do I think it’s as good as Sgt. Pepper? No. Not even close. But i just can’t give this a 4 as I enjoyed it way more than most 4 stars I give out. This is coming from an older Millennial (Xennial) who gave pretty much every 70s rock and folk album 5 stars.

It is just so inventive, irreverent, so ridiculously fun. There are few things I like better than seeing an artist set out to be radically themselves, and achieve it perfectly.

This I feel pretty confident as a very recent entry, as they are definitively at the bleeding edge of a newer genre. And it is dope as hell, which helps obviously.

8/10. I wouldn't really consider myself a 100 gecs fan, it's just a little much for me most of the time. That said, the 1001 albums have given me a lot of respect for 27 minute albums, and for albums where each song actually sounds different from the last one. Also, big fan of songs about frogs. I liked "I Got My Tooth Removed" a lot as well, sounded like a hyper-ska song instead of hyper-pop? Cool stuff

I think I prefer 1000 gecs to this project. The influences here are varied but not always right up my alley - 10,000 gecs strays from hyperpop plenty of times into full on ska, pop punk, or nu metal, none of which really tickle my fancy. However, I think at least one of the 100 gecs projects belongs on this list, so thanks for submitting. 6/10

👎🏻

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.

Amiable frenetic pop with all modern trimmings. The reviews led me to expect something a little more over the top. The dopiness of some of the lyrics detracted from the overall quality for me.

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.
