Okay background music.
Just had no interest in this one.
I lost something listening to this, not sure it was my soul though. Some interesting parts here and there but most of the songs felt like they dragged and plodded along. Bland
I barely have the time to listen to albums that I like so it’s a real drag to get something like this. It’s not bad per se, it’s just bland and totally forgettable. Writing this a couple of hours after listening to it, there’s nothing that stands out, no hooks or riffs that make me want to listen again. The British music press and Mercury Awards got it wrong yet again.
This album is boring, I have no other words
Don't get me wrong. It's good. I enjoy it. But it's very bland and forgetful and just kind of nothing. It feels like a dozen TV theme songs.
Idk, it's not _bad_ but it just feels devoid of any heart or soul.
Hard no
You know it’s going to be terrible when Wikipedia starts with something like “ … is the debut studio album by British indie rock band” 1.42
Crap, my fridge makes more interesting sounds at midnight.
Why are there so many British punky rock albums. They can't all be the best album ever. I just don't think any of them are that different. Ts is not groundbreaking bro. I like this it just feels like the logical continuation of what the last album I got on here was. Just kinda emo punky rock. Interesting but chill. Just kinda why. Like white guy crooning in a mic idc. Unremarkable tbh. Oh wait. Hold on. Follow that tyune. Yeah alright. Sure. Trying so hard to be edgy and just kinda hitting boring. I mean it's different but idk if that's a good thing. Just hitting every genre really. Favourite: Sea Song/Rise Least favourite: Lost Souls
I had never listened to this band before, but I remember that an old school friend liked their music. When I saw that “Lost Souls” was the album of the day, I sent him a message and he said it was “the better one”. Upon listening, I couldn’t help but think that if THIS is the better one, I dread to think what the others are like. It’s whiny, slow, depressing, unoriginal, pretentious, dated and boring. Everything wrong with post Britpop. Some of it sounds like a rubbish Coldplay cover band tried to write their own songs and this was the result. Nothing worthwhile to be found here.
no me gustó, indie? deja.
😴
Didnt get me. To be honest I didnt really listen.
I understand that it's difficult to rate the potential legendary status of recent albums. Also, I understand that this list of albums is heavily British-oriented. However, I think these examples also show how lazily this work/book has been done and I'm tired of the British's egotism and such bad records.
I have never heard of this album or group before but man so boring. That Y2K wasteland indie brit music is soooooooo boring.
Decently atmospheric mid tempo indie radio rock but it's so bloated and aimless and the vocals are a whiny bore, Thom Yorke rip off but lacking any angst or dynamism. The strummy acoustic guitars are meant to give it energy but just make it tiresome. Some good instrumental passages with shimmering guitar leads and the feel of explosions in the sky doing Champagne Supernova, really pushing for epic and sweeping, but ruined by the whinging singing. Favorite: Rise
Boring shite
To albums af den her kunstner alligevel? Ok
Weak AF. Very unremarkable.
Det här var evinnerligt tråkigt. Albumet i lurarna, men märker knappt att det pågår. En ny låt? Är vi i början eller slutet av skivan? Jag har ingen aning. Till det positiva hör att det funkar att arbeta till. Absolut inga som helst störande intryck, varken positiva eller negativa. Catch the Sun och The Cesar room är väl de enda låtar sticker ut. Räcker det för en tvåa? Nja, inte riktigt. Heavenly kan så mycket bättre än det här.
If Oasis and Radiohead are the Beatles & Stones of millennial Britpop, these guys are The Hullaballoos. This is fucking boring.
Very depressing
Not my thing
Унылое г
Not my bag of tea
What a wholly unremarkable album.
Locked in a nihilistic battle with Coldplay and Elbow to dull us all to death
I want to like it, I would have loved it if I heard this when I was 20.
Next
Didn't even qualify as background music.
now that's what i call background music 46!
Why the fuck are there two Doves albums on here. A band I’ve literally never heard anyone talk about. Generic shit. Dime a dozen generic shit. Music to fade out to.
Dreary
Meh, didn’t resonate with me
Day653 - pretentious shoegaze garbage
I alle dager
Warmplay.
Woah holy shit I think we found the most boring album of all time
Kept wondering when the songs would actually begin. Did they ever begin?
Not the worst 1, but a 1 nonetheless
Catch the Sun
It was mediocre at best. Pretty folky but kinda all over the place. True rating: 1.8
This is the second album by this band I've listened to because of this list. I really hope it's the last.
I was expecting more from this. Not sure why. Stadium indie à la Coldplay / Elbow. Not for me, and way too long.
What do you get when you mix mid-90’s Britpop, OK-Computer Radiohead, and a hint of My Bloody Valentine? You get shit. This is shit. PS: “Catch the Sun” is still pretty great tho
coldplay did this better
Aural mogadon. Two of these on the list, but no Neutral Milk Hotel? ok ok
Not for me
Mopey, mid-tier filler. Background music for folding laundry. Why is this on a list meant for timeless classics? Stop cramming in these bland, post-Britpop nobodies. This isn’t “must-hear before you die.” It’s “accidentally heard once and forgot while still alive.” Did an NME intern time travel to 2025 and upload their playlist by mistake?
Meh
I gotta be honest, this one just blew right by me. Usually, even if I'm listening while I work, *something* is going to stick, good or bad, but that didn't happen here. As wallpaper music, it's fine, I guess? But as an album to listen to before you die, it's nothing.
Keskitempoisuus elämäntapana
At last, the cure for insomnia! Ten minutes of this and you’ll never wake up again. Music for sad dads to passionately tap their Crocs to on their drive to Home Bargains. Nothing wrong with it musically, but you could shove a load of meat into one ear and a few scoops of mashed potato into the other for a similar effect.
No
What is this Coldplay light? I’m falling asleep listening to this.
My soul got lost trying to listen to all of this. Boringgggggg
What's wrong little piggy boy? You've barely touched your trough full of unlistenable British crybaby wanky slop.
Ok alternative band. No great songs.
Tipicamente indie derivativo não sei exatamente de quê, mas fortemente descartável.
First track was good, reminded me exactly of zero things, then just awful from then onwards.
Sooo boring
pass
Yeah idk anymore so much British dog shit
This was boring. I tried but it did not capture my attention at all and a day after I can remember nothing other than being slightly annoyed. No thanks.
Not sure why the authors thought we needed to hear this noise.
Not really my jam. They sound like U2 if U2 was more indie rock alternative
Dull Indie Pop.
poundshop Portishead
I don't understand why Doves has 2 albums on the list. I kind of enjoyed the other one, but this one here is just annoying, and indeed, it is not something anyone should listen to before dying. I usually like to hear non-obvious albums around here, but when this is the best option, I prefer to go back to the recommendations of the Beatles and Beach Boys!
The sound is ok.
Urghhhh
Child: mom can we get some U2? Mom: we have some U2 at home This is the U2 we have at home
I hate this. It's boring as hell. Hated the other album from them on this list too. The only song that is remotely listenable is "catch the light" or whatever. I don't care enough to look it up. No more of this shit band, please.
This album sounds like middle-aged depression.
Not my speed. A little too sleepy.
1.5
# 66 : Ok background music, found my mind drifting off during the listen. No bangers and a bit tiresome. Songs that are so samey and nothing special.
Didn't enjoy. Got through half and gave up.
