Canciones 1989-2013

3h 38m. Rethink your continued existence.

Canciones 1989-2013 is a 3.5 hours (what the f... !!!) compilation album of Extremoduro, a Spanish rock band. This is a compilation album, but what is a compilation album of 3.5 hours? A best of...? A worst of...? All of...? Or none of these options, but I think it's certainly too much of. Much and much too much of a very mediocre rock band with songs that are also much too long (average song length is around 5 minutes). The awful album cover really brings the album to a new low in this list.

25 years of music in one album. And it’s in Spanish. And it’s pretty bad. This is one of maybe three albums I just couldn’t finish. I gave it a good shot hut boy this is not enjoyable. Huge compilation albums like this shouldn’t be allowed. 1.5/10

Fuck you

This is a compilation, not an album. I promise life will be much easier if you learn how to read!

I started listing to this and got 7 songs in before I realised it's 3hrs 38mins and 44 tracks long, fuck off.

Very very long, but also very good. Sounds like a compilation album, which I suppose it is - all good bands evolve a ton over 20+ years! I might have preferred a single album, but then I wouldn't have heard all these songs (yet). An absolute joy, from a band I would never otherwise have heard of! ¡Gracias!

So apparently I'm one of the only people to actually finish listening to this album among the people who were assigned it. It's good. End to end. If you're enjoying the first normal-length album's worth of song you'll like everything else you hear. Yes, the length wore on me. It's really long. I've given albums half this length points off for being too damn long. The difference is I wasn't *enjoying* those albums along the way. Guys, you know if you think it sounds fine but it's just too long you can take a break, right? Stop listening for a few. Go watch/listen to something else for half an hour or something, then jump back in? You don't need to keep going until you're actively miserable when you'd otherwise be having a good time.

Scored at 4, because the songs and lyrics are great. But I believe that the inclusion of Anthologies goes against the purpose of the page.

Listen people... a nearly 3 and 3 quarters hour compilation album is a pretty aggressive way to introduce us to your favorite Spanish punk band. Aside from that, it has become a repetitive theme of course but lack of a real command of the language is a big barrier for this kind of music. The style of the singing varied very little and got pretty old at length. The music was solid and stretched interestingly into a lot of adjacent rock, hard rock, and metal territories, which helped, though it also adopted some of those genres' tendency to overlong songs. Overall positive though and I did end up listening to the whole thing which says something.

If you had given me one 40 minute album and not a three hour compilation I think we find ourselves in a different position. Usually not finishing auto equals a one but I still listened for a good while and was enjoying so it gets a plus one

Sorry friend, compilations shouldn’t count. Not devoting 3.25 hours of my life.

As a matter of principle I have to give this a 1. It's over 3.5 hours long and is just a compilation album which absolutely does not and should not count. Yes there is a long Ella Fitzgerald album on the OG list and someone has added a Louis Armstrong compilation, which are acceptable as they both come from a time before an "album" really existed. This band clearly has albums. Pick one of those. Instead we are subjected to over 3.5 hours of mediocre bland shit. I'm always advocating for more music from non-English speaking countries, but pulling this kinda stunt doesn't help. The music is itself is bland and boring. Non-offensive and dull. Mediocre. It's acceptable but 3.5 hours of it makes me hate it. My personal rating: 1/5 My rating relative to the list: 1/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No. Don't submit compilation albums.

This may be the very 1st (ok, maybe 2nd) album that I just won't finish. It's the principal. F whoever picked this one. First of all, it's a compilation, so it shouldn't have been approved. 2nd, it's 3.5 hours of Spanish music. F aaaalllll the way off.

Hard rock, punk rock, progressive rock. Grande el Robe. Vinilo.

ja ganz gut würd ich wieder hören abrr das spanisch nicht gut

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Segundo movimento, Amor castuo, Sol de invierno, Tango suicida

Some good stuff here, and has a nice vintage rock feel, but vocals are annoying (though seems like a legit frontman). Disqualifying because a compilation.

Average Spanish rock music

Yea, pretty good, but I couldn't get through the whole thing.

Ignoring the extreme breach of etiquette of submitting a close to 4-hour compilation album, the music is pretty good and thankfully varied

It was alright at first, but it's way too long.

Too long

How is this so popular?

This isn’t really in the spirit of the list as it seems to be more a boxed set highlighting all the music from a group rather than an album. This isn’t available on Apple Music, but I was able to piece together the collection by finding the individual songs off the various albums. I started doing this but once I hit the first hour of music stopped. This band has a solid rock sound, although the lead singer’s vocal delivery wasn’t always my favorite. Some of the songs really stood out to me. I really liked “Sol De Invierno” for example. If this had been one of the actual albums instead of a huge compilation this could have appealed more… It’s a lot to hand over 3.5 hours of music from a multi-decade career to a new listener as their introduction to a band. This really doesn’t fit in with the spirit of this project. Still, some solid songs here.

Way too long of course, probably what kept it at a 2. It wasn’t that bad, but it also wasn’t that good.

Compilation album? It's pretty long and filled with lots of different styles- some I liked but overall it's 2nd rate and uninventive to my ears.

A 3-hour near-comprehensive compilation of Extremoduro's Spanish rock music career. Similar to Extrechinato y Tú (also on the user's list!), Extremoduro existed within the Rock urbano español revival of the '90s. As you can tell by the compilation's title, this expanded far into the 2000s with their studio output effectively concluding by 2013. Wikipedia tells me that Extremoduro planned for a farewell tour, but COVID effectively botched those plans, so the band called it quits without much of a hurrah. Too bad! While I will agree that Extremoduro is a pretty good and regionally important rock band, I don't think an overly long compilation gets the point across all that succinctly. Other reviews have belabored this issue so I won't dwell on it too much, but there are certainly better choices to communicate the musical legacy of a band so revered within Spain's borders. Extremoduro's 1996 album Agila, for example, is a clear highlight of the band's career: it's their best-selling album, praised by Rolling Stone on multiple occasions, and is a clear breakout success amongst Extremoduro's discography. The first five songs from Agila run from tracks 21-25 on the compilation, and I feel they're an excellent example of the band's unique and innovative songwriting. Regardless, over 210 minutes of material can be difficult to digest all in one sitting, and I believe it requires a fairly strong justification for its inclusion on the user's list. Future users that are equally enterprising and malicious could find reason to submit one of Bull of Heaven's particularly notorious albums, unless we start implementing more rules for submission or, at the very least, request the site admin's professional judgement be exercised on a case-by-case basis. I think he's a reasonable man, but I've also never met him! Are these good songs? Yes, certainly. Is this a good album? Not particularly. I appreciate that the songs are organized chronologically, at the very least. Of course, it's still far longer than it needs to be and doesn't really execute a cohesive singular artistic vision like a standard album might. This compilation is best-suited for those who are already dedicated fans of Extremoduro who wish to celebrate the band's career, rather than for newcomers who are largely unfamiliar with their work. Regardless, I can say I've had plenty of exposure to Extremoduro's music now! CONTENDER FOR THE LIST: No, and I think I've made that clear.

Kinda curious how OP thinks this would be received. Musically this is decent, vocally one dimensional, and it's every close minded music lover's enemy... non english... oh no. But that's not the criticism here. It's that it's the entire catalog of this band running 3 and a half hours. This is longer than the Godfather 2, and that's what I was gonna do after today's album, but guess what? I didn't have enough time anymore...
