Blind album and artist. This album did the opposite of destroy rock and roll. It made the genre look way better compared to whatever this album is.
AJ: Good luck
Nah
Never heard of this, vaguely heard the name but thought he was a rapper. Only know what's on Wikipedia as it's not in the book, and first impressions are this will be inessential at best. As it goes, we've just learned that I'm prepared to give Weather Report 2 stars, so let's see. Oh I see, this is pure background music, which was very much the thing those days, stuff to stick on in at parties that absolutely noone would pay attention to and just provided a general hazy mood. Right Mylo, you just ruined the mood, what is this Dr Beat bullshit you are doing? This is gym music for arseholes. Oh I have actually heard In My Arms. My opinion is unchanged. In fact if anything it's reinforced. Far too many intrusive samples which are just people listing things throughout the whole track. This is trash, really. Glad he only made one album. Spotify tried to start playing something by "Layo and Bushwacka!" after this ended, whatever they are, which probably tells you everything you need to know about this record.
Why? It is bad album. I don't need a full album of DJ music and it wasn't even good mixed music. Skip it.
Not a dance music guy
Sunworshipper is a poor use of spoken word to music. The songs on this album are pretty skippable and by skippable, I mean annoying and overstaying their welcome. Also, if you're going to use a bunch of names in your songs... at least bother learning how to pronounce them.
did nothing for me, thought it was pretty bland and lazy
Dreadful repetetive durge. I could only take half the album. I know it takes all sorts, but this was absolutely awful.
Not for me at all, looping dance music that feels like each song could easily be 30 long instead of 4-5 minutes
Boring
I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS
Spoiler alert: that extremely mid album didn't destroy rock & roll.
What was that? Did they leave their mentally disabled cousin alone with the list?
55 minutes where I totally blacked out and didn't feel anything else than pure nothingness. I almost liked 2 songs, what a deal!
Bad. Amateur level. Sounds like I made it....
While I do feel bad giving albums on this list a 1, the bar set by “albums to hear before you die” is pretty high. With that in mind, I would never casually listen to this album again. It had a couple decent tracks, but more often than not I was just annoyed by it. The name drops on the title track did give me some ideas on other artists I’d rather be listening to other than Mylo.
Obnoxious, repetitive and irritating.
Elevator music at its worst.
Annoying
If I could give it zero I would. Who decided to put so much electronic on this list. Enough.
Vanilla electronica for people who lived in Clapham, London between 2004 and 2006.
only giving this a 1 because 0 isnt an option
Not for me. It didn't connect on any level.
The music is benign but the lyrics ruined it for me.
Didnt enjoy this one much
I will never be high enough to enjoy this.
Usually I only give 1 star to music that is actually, physically painful to listen to for me. That's not the case with this album. But it is sooooooo uninteresting, repetitive, minimalistic and meaningless that I just really longed to turn it off toward the end of the fifth track. So that's what I did.
If the premise here was to take cheesy ‘80s songs and strip them down and use their best parts to make something better I could get behind it. I somewhat enjoyed the fun that the disco/80s sources brought to it. But I guess I just don’t like this genre because at best this just felt unfulfilling. At worst, anytime there was a vocal sample, sooner or later I was forced to skip. “Drop the Pressure” was particularly bad. The word that came most to mind while listening was “insufferable.” I wanted to like it, but upon full consideration, I can’t deny the conclusion. I hated it.
Mylo please don’t destroy rock and roll, destroy another genre instead with you’re mellow arse generic beats. I assume (from messing around on garage band) that electronic house music is much more fun to make than rock and roll but for the listener ( well me anyway) it just comes across as boring background “study music”. I don’t like these craftwerky daft punky robot albums it really doesn’t appeal to me so there’s no chance that i’am going to give this a high score (sorry I’ve tried but they’ll never work on me for the foreseeable future). Every song to me just feels like they’ve placed a beat down add a slower moments and repeat the same line 100 and something times. The only track I find notable is the title track because I feel so bad for duran duran and I wanna now destroy mylo and house music, oh well I guess I have to punish you with a 1/5 for that behaviour.
Not my style I guess. The record feels like a very cheap version of Daft Punk but without any of the experimentation or funkiness that made Daft Punk so infectious and excellent. Most songs feel bland and overall the production sounds boring. The album is almost an hour long but somehow it feels so much longer and just really seems to drag on. It reminds me of elevator music at points. Favorite Track: Sunworshiper Least Favorite Track: Drop the Pressure, Musclecars
No.
Not impressed…seem like the same beat throughout…rather boring
Seriously?
70's and 80's soft rock sampled into electronic/House music. Hard to imagine a worse fit for me. Listened to about 5 songs and realized there was no point in going farther. Life is too short for this record. Even if you like this style of music, this seems bland. Hard to imagine this being a record worthy of anyone's time before they die.
Generic techno
Elextronica? Gotta be honest, think rock and roll won.
Not unpleasant as muzak supermarkets an lifts.
Agradable, muy house muy bueno de fondo, pero nada muy destacable, es bueno pero por respeto a los anteriores solo 1 estrella
Hate it. It does not make me feel anything, same as car sounds outside. Just annoying, not music.
Tortura. Se pudesse eu dava zero.
Not for me.
Destroy Rock and Roll fracassou totalmente na destruição do Rock. Tecno não é a minha vibe, mas isto foi chato e repetitivo, algo que nunca voltaria a ouvir, talvez seja eu que não entenda, mas a meu ver é um álbum fraco e com falta de criatividade. Nota:2/10
Otro disco irrelevante. Si te gusta la música electrónica/disco lo mismo te entretiene pero que no se merece estar entre los 1001 discos ni en broma.
This notes feature doesn't work very well. I did not enjoy this album much. It has not aged well and it is wholly unremarkable. In fact as I type these notes, my memories of having heard the record are fading...
elevator music
