Reviews (page 7 of 7)

I definitely could've died without hearing this.

One song in particular made me feel uncomfortable.. You can probably guess which one. I don't think this album is for me. Musicianship was cool, but nothing special in my opinion. There's nothing really that memorable about this album. Honestly sounds like something you'd hear at a diner on the jukebox. Next was a cool song. Very different then the rest of the tracks on this album. Sounds like it could be part of a musical. I don't think this album is something I'll think about ever again. To be honest, I'm glad it was short. Really just, not enjoyable for me. 1/5

Very, very strange

This was awful. Sensational my ass.

Well that was a terrible album, some of these I really question if they stay true to the topic of 1001 albums you ‘need’ to see before you die.

Pretty bad

"Next" is super weird, and "Gang bang" is just them singing those words over and over again - I did not enjoy this album.

Disliked just about everything about this.

This fucking sucks. Yeah, I said it. Not that anyone cares since I don't think anyone even gives a shit about this album in the first place. Why is this even on the list? Well apparently, this guy was a big inspiration on Nick Cave, a musician that Robert Dimery seems to have a gigantic boner for since he has 6 ALBUMS on the list. If any of those 6 albums is anything like this, I might just quit the project entirely. I don't know if I can handle 6 more albums like this. I'll start with the one decent thing about this album. The instrumental sound is not bad. I don't particularly care for it, but I can respect it for what it is. However, everything else about this album is so bad that that barely even matters at all. The singing? Atrocious. Absolutely horrendous. It's Pere Ubu levels of bad. And I literally said that the vocals in Dub Housing were the worst I had ever heard! And somehow the writing is even worse! It's awful! "Gang Bang" has some of the worst writing I've ever heard in a song before. But all of this begs the question... the ultimate question to determine if this is among the worst of the worst. Am I upset that I listened to this album? Well, despite the admittedly okay instrumental aspects of this album, my answer to that question would have to be a resounding YES. 1/5. The only sensation that Alex Harvey makes me feel is pain.

No thank you. Go away and never come back. You are not welcome here.

Какая-то хренатень

Weirdest album ever. Will not listen again. Did not enjoy.

This was abysmally bad.

I found this pretty repugnant. Lowest common denominator, puerile and lacking in any kind of heart. Gang bang sounds like it was written by a 14 year old boy in the first flush of teenage hormones and is the shallowest point of this very shallow puddle

Never heard of this band before. And i wish that remained the same to this day. The opening song started off promising but once it got into gang bang it went down hill from there. By "Next" it felt like i was listening to some kind of play. Whoever put this on the list should be bitch slapped.

very bad, it's like children's music except the lyrics are about fucking. embarrassing to listen to.

Deeply horny lyrics paired with the two least horny sounds: trombones and handclaps.

Made it to the gangbang, then I thought the party was not to my liking so I left.

Listening to some of the albums from the 70s has really changed my mind of the decade generally. But this one has set it back considerably. I hate glam rock. There’s very little redeeming here.

Um... I'm confused... This album is an overblown mix of CCR, GNR, and Elton John/Queen with rockabilly... I don't like it—utterly stupid record imo.

So not for me.

Gangbang. Jesus.

Trash, garbage even. Really no fucking idea what this was going for or why it's on this list, it blows

Thanks for gangbanging my ears

There's moments that almost save from a 1, but pls I don't wanna hear this dude anymore. Will I listen to 0%

Is this satire?

1.2 - Christ. Well ‘next’ was at least a bit more interesting.

The answer to the question "where the hell did they dig this album out of" is in the question.

Did Robert Smith really consider this a forerunner of punk? It’s part cabaret, part glam, part bland. Almost the fav genre psychedelic!!! Long forgotten

Mmm no

Were the lyrics written by a middle school boy?

Nothing on this album got me moving. I guess it's because this sounded like Billy Squire. I'm not a fan of most glam, and this solidifies it.

This added nothing to my life. I don’t like his voice. I almost liked the hrothel song.

Ok now you're just trolling us.

You know your band sucks when you write songs like "Ain't nothing like a Gang Bang" and repeat it for 5 minutes.

It's garbage day today. This is also the day I came across this album in the challenge. Coincidence? I don't think so. The lyrics are awful, of course... but I was expecting a powerful musicianship from a band like that. I've been disappointed.

Not for me.

what kind of fucking child nominated an album with a song called "Gang Bang" for this list? trash.

Uncomfortable and ick

Tää vitsi ei toimi vaan on vain kiusallinen. Olisi edes kunnon parodiaa eikä vain jotain sinnepäin. Ärsyttävä

Admittedly musically talented but I could not jive with the subjects of most of the songs

Proto AC/DC, Glam Rock nuff said

Ugh. Music was kinda cool but then the singing started. Woof.

I wouldn't want to be left alone with this guy.

This album did absolutely nothing for me.

WTF cacophonous bullshit did I just listen to 1/5

Really bad.

For a list of the most important albums in history I'm surprised this was added. Some days I'm shocked at what the generator pulls out of its ass. It is some early punk rock vibes but each song is going for a different theme or feel. Makes the album jaring to listen too.

Jesus christ, the second track is insane.

I can't understand why this album is on the list.

In a nutshell: proto-hair metal(?) Occasionally good horns, drums and guitar; played furiously. Kinda bluesy glam rock. This is album reminds me of "hair metal" and I wouldn't be surprised if bands from that genre cite this as an influential album. Overall: 2/10

Estos, ni me molesto.

1. zuuampznake - 1 2. gang bank - 1 3. the faith healer - 1 4. giddy up a ding dong - 1 5. nezt - 1 6. vambo marble eye - 1 7. the lazt of the teenage idolz - 1

At the start I thought that they sounded like they were having a lovely old time, but pretty soon I realised that I wasn’t. By the time I got to ‘Giddy Up a Ding Dong’ and ‘Next’ I’d had enough. Too theatrical.

i wish some poeple would just have sex instead of writing ass music about having sex

Not a fan of this one...

I got part of the way through Gang Bang and started skipping ahead. Grooves were ok, but it wasn't worth it. Was this on the list because of its shock value?

Sensationally shit

Not for me
