Why do you hate me?

Schrecklich

Terrible, annoying, whiny, could not finish

Too nerdy AND EXPERIEMTal and strange voice

Poor man's Randy Newman vibes coming off this guy.

Couldn't do it. Skipped songs after a few seconds. Gave up after five tracks

Rock progresivo experimental. Un sinsentido. Un 1.

Ugh. Too psychedelic and unstructured for my taste.

I'm sure this music is for someone....just not me. I kind of Heaps Of Sheeps, and Blues In Bob Minor. Otherwise every song sounds like Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros, set out to make the worst folk/jazz hybrid you have ever heard. I almost did not finish this one. Would not listen again.

This is very avant garde. Through the first three songs it sounds like this guy loves sounding like an orchestra warming up before a concert. There are definitely bright spots in the music but it's intentionally such a mess and the vocals are also intentionally non-traditional that I find it hard to make it through the album

Rock progresivo experimental. Un sinsentido. Un 1.

Va e detta

I did not enjoy a single second of this album. Only got through it by sheer force of will

This was dreadful. Took every fiber of my being to listen to the end.

Did not enjoy thank you very much

The first track was a banger, and then this thing went off the proverbial rails. As expected. You don't create that photo for the album cover and not expect listeners to proceed with trepidation.

Not my style. Too chaotic and not cohesive. Could only listen to part of the first three songs on the album before I got fed up.

First album I couldn't make it through. I'm assuming the off key singing is on purpose, but it doesn't do anything for me.

schlep.

Bullsh*t, bullsh*t, derivative!

If you gave acid, a bunch of instruments, and recording equipment to an extra on the set of Monty Python & The Holy Grail, they probably could come up with a better album

If the word "pretentious" were an anagram for "a bunch of crap", then we'd have a winner. "Heaps of Sheeps" was at least interesting to listen to, and also was an attempt at an actual song. The rest of it was a pointless cacophony. What a waste of a spot on this list.

who told this man he should make music

Echt geen idee wat ik hiermee moet of waarom ik dit gehoord moet hebben. Meneer Wyatt is duidelijk in de late jaren 60 blijven hangen.

More corny British bullshit. I simply do not care to listen to a man mumble his way through jazzy nursery rhymes in a twee falsetto.

This sucks I stopped listening

what in the heck? the second song is pretty atonal, and the vocalist is not about able to sing very well. What in the hell is this? This guy's vocal tone makes me want to puke. Blues In Bob Minor is solid surprisingly. I hated this.

Not for me, only really enjoyed one song on the album.

Absolute crap. Seriously. The further you go into the album, the deeper the crap.

Ken deze artiest niet, dus ben benieuwd! Het eerste nummer is prima, I guess, maar nummer 2 The Duchess is een heel apart nummer. Ik weet niet zo goed wat voor album dit gaat worden, maar we gaan het meemaken! Ok wtf is The Duchess voor nummer, dit klinkt gewoon slecht. Niet interessant muzikaal of wat dan ook. Ik ben nu bij September the Ninth en de titel van dit album is zeer goed gekozen. Ik ben al een paar keer bijna weggedommeld met dit album, man wat is dit saaie muziek. Blues in Bob Minor schrikt me een soort van wakker. Het is het enige nummer op dit album waar echt iets gebeurd zeg maar. Waarom kan de rest van het album niet zo zijn Robert, verdorie! 1 nummer dat ik ok vind, de rest is eigenlijk ondermaats. Robbie, je hebt een primeur ouwe pikkebaas! FAVO: Blues in Bob Minor

I knew nothing about this artist and the album. Largely a very weird album. Maryan was the only song I liked or could stand, most songs skipped for being whack. 0.5

This is another obscure English album which has no business being on a list of important, influential, or best albums in popular music. "Shleep" wildly misses all five of those descriptors: important, influential, best, popular, music. Contrived and overly pretentious, this allegedly legendary musician is purposefully singing nursery rhymes off-key. It is asinine. Anyone who mistakes this for music should be ashamed of themselves.

To say this is weird is not saying a lot… quite the experience, I’ll put it that way

Prog rock? More like prog not very good :( This just doesn't make sense to me, it doesn't sound good at all. The horns are strange, singing isn't great imo and the instrumental arrangements just don't sound good half the time. 2.5/10

What a load of shite.

It's like being transported back to the 1970s! I wasn't too keen on his style of jazz fusion, psychedelia and progressive rock back then, and I'm still not a fan.

Eh. Nah. Nah

Ehkä mulla on alikehittyneet lapsen aivot, mutta siis eieieiei. Lauluäänikin väkinäinen ja nuhainen.

Nah, got on my tits after a few songs and turned it off

Holy shit why? Multiple people had to approve this album being recorded in the first place. Those people should find better jobs. I was over it by the second song. It did not get better.

Kuin dystopisessa rinnakkaistodellisuudessa uudelleen rakennettu Neil Young. Onko valinta tälle listalle kunnioittavaa artistia itseäänkään kohtaan?

Bad …

When the first track started playing, I was like "oh, this is isn't what I expected". it was very much in that 70s Eno-period/Roxy Music art-pop mold, with a more chilled out vibe. And I really dug it. Probably not really a surprise given the Eno production and appearance by Phil Manzanera. But then the rest of the album is just awful. I quite like Wyatt's voice (although his tunes meander a bit), but jeez, please keep the man away from any other instrument. Much of the instrumental 'soloing' is tuneless caterwauling, and Wyatt himself seems to be the main culprit on fiddle and trumpet. It was pointless, directionless noise. Disliked. Heaps of Sheep is the only listenable track on the record. Maybe I'm having a bad day, but this record actually angered me. Which is quite an achievement, given how chill it is.

nope nope nope

Echt??!

Het eerste nummer was nog wel ok, maar daarna zakte Robert diep door zijn hoeven...

Some classic prog with a lovely voice and totally un-listenable.

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

I hated this from start to finish.
