Afrociberdelia

Afrociberdelia is a nice album by Chico Science. the songs are energetic rock with hip hop vocal delivery. The quality of the songs varies. Some are rather generic rock and sometimes the song and performance work great. I understand that the front man (Chico Science) died in a car crash after the this album was created, giving it some legendary status. Having non-English contributions is always refreshing, so it will get 4 stars to support our Brazilian friends.

Sometimes it's pretty "generic rock but this time it's from Brazil". I would give this 3 stars. I like being exposed to music countries/cultures other than my own, but it is *very* run-of-the-mill. Sometimes it veers into Thievery Corporation territory, especially with some of the album-closing remixes. I would give this 5 stars because it completely fucks. So we'll average out to 4 and call it a day, thank you very much.

I applaud this for being something interesting. It doesn't work, but it's interesting. It's also way too long. My personal rating: 2/5 My rating relative to the list: 3/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.

It’s cool that all countries have goofy okay hip hop

Rockin

Foreign rap/rock that went on too long

This was ok, but didn’t stand out as anything special. Maybe the langue barrier didn’t help.

This is one of the only times I think I've ever said "this isn't what I expected" and meant it negatively. The album cover screams 90s, but the genres and general vibes told me this may be something fun to dive in to, despite its length. However, after the first few tracks the rock influences started to wear on me, just being cheesy, and by the end, despite a couple tracks almost grabbing me, I was ready to be done with the singer's frankly annoying voice and the general repetitiveness of the whole project, despite the small variations between tracks. Maybe if it was a shorter album I would be nicer, but I come away from this just feeling like I wasted my time, but maybe I should've expected that would happen the whole time.

I don't really like hip hop in my own language, you can tell they're having fun with it though.

hahah wtf is this 2
