Meh. This doesn't do it for me
Doesn't play
Couldn’t listen on Spotify
This album is not available on Spotify
??? das einzige was ich irgendwie in Verbindung zu irgendwas bringen kann ist das cover mit dem Radiohead Video? c
This is it. The first 1 star in my journey. The only good thing about this album was the samples - which weren't great either - but I don't think anything was added to them. It's just shit. Sometimes it was funny too, like stop this crazy thing, that actually made me laugh. So bonus points for that. But still 1 star. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I still feel if any album deserves a 1 so far it's this one
I hope this can serve as a reminder for all mankind that Mashups may fool your dumb lizard brain for a minute, but ultimately they will not bring you joy.
Couldn’t listen on Spotify so did not listen
It's like it was a goal to go into the studio to see how many awful sounds you can string together to make a song. And there's 13 of them. And it's long as fuck.
Couldn’t find
What's that noise you ask? Just a bunch of shitty music. Nothing to see here.
Couldn't find it on Spotify
Not streaming
It was difficult to find this album and it certainly was not worth the effort. 1 star or F.
Whiny guitars absolutely drowned in reverb was a bad choice. Also, Elvis did it better. I bet 80s punks loved this crap.
The fact that as of July 2025 you struggle to find this album on any streaming platform speaks volumes. If you were able to listen from the misfortune of having bought the album and having it your collection then my sympathies go to you. YouTube snippets were the only way I could sample this album but that made the whole experience mercifully short. 1/5 30/7/25
Para uma pessoa de mais de 65 anos de idade o tempo é algo precioso demais, para ser consumido ouvindo música de DJ. Mais um álbum na lista dos "1001 discos para morrer antes de ouvir". Dispensável e desnecessário.
I love Lisa Stansfield's voice. Love it. So that gets one star. The rest is not for me. Repetitive and patchy.
Bitty. Annoying
I’ve never heard of Coldcut or this album before, but I’ve seen the album cover on the visual list website, and it’s certainly eye-catching. I see that this album is electronica/house music, and as a lover of synths and keyboards, I feel that this is a genre that I should love. However, the electronic and house music albums that I’ve reviewed so far (especially ones from the late eighties and early nineties) have been pretty lackluster. Maybe Coldcut will be the first house music album to really win me over! (For the record, I listened to the US release of this album) Unfortunately, Coldcut did not win me over to Team House and Electronica. While there were some moments on this album that I enjoyed, overall, I found this album to be pretty tedious and boring to listen to, and it mostly sounded repetitive to my ears. On top of that, there were some samples and elements to some songs that I found pretty grating and annoying to listen to. The first track, “People Hold On,” was pretty decent. This song (as did most of the album) had a very late eighties/early nineties sound to it, but Lisa Stansfield’s vocals worked well with the sound. I liked the samples and synthesizers, but the bass really stood out to me the most. On “Fat,” the bass was still great, but I missed the live vocals, and I found the sampled vocals to skew more towards irritating. However, on “In Deep,” I really hated the live vocals, and I was craving the sampled vocals of the second track (I think Mark E. Smith is pretty talented, but this was a miss for him). “In Deep” was pretty bland musically too, and this is where I started to lose hope that I would enjoy this album. “My Telephone” was my favorite song on the album. I was glad to hear Lisa Stansfield again, and the combination of her singing with the spoken samples sounded great. The phone sounds that were utilized were really great, and I’m surprised I didn’t find them annoying. After “My Telephone” though, I thought this album was really boring and bland, and nothing else really stood out to me. I was intrigued by Queen Latifah’s vocals on “Smoke Dis One” though, because I don’t think I’ve ever heard her rapping before. Her voice had a power to it that I really liked, but unfortunately, the lyrics were pretty hokey, and the music was bland. Overall, this album was a dud. The tracks with Lisa Stansfield were the best part of this album, but it wasn’t enough to lift Coldcut out of the depths of one-star albums.
Thankfully, that album isn't available on Deezer, so it won't mess up my algorithm. (Thanks to the old gods and the new.) It's the most boring kind of house music that made me loathe school disco parties in the '90s.
Well looky what we have here. . . another shitty House record. It can’t be!?!?!?!?! I should have googled the editor of this list before I started - I would have avoided a lot of UK Shit.
American infected Eurotrash.
Nah
Not on Spotify
A more proper title would be This Is Noise.
Not found on Spotify, but other albums are a no
Groupe inconnu. Aucun intérêt. Les morceaux sont répétitifs, sans aucune originalité et musicalement inintéressants. L'album est beaucoup trop long. Je ne suis pas allé au bout. =>1/5
This is a checkbox one for me.
Oof
Chaotic. I concede that the YouTube ad breaks only worsened the overall effect.
Yeah, this is not for me.
There are all kinds of sounds in this world, but maybe it’s not a good idea to throw them all together at once in the pursuit of something interesting to try dance to. This was fucking diabolical. Not my jam at all. Completely untethered from anything approaching enjoyable listening. A disjointed, obnoxious mess of noise ⭐️
It's not available on Spotify.
I hated this from the first cheesy stupid note. An hour later it was still going. Nothing of value happened. And I am angry for having to listen to it. This is the in the bottom two or three records of the 1001 list for sure. FUCK. THIS. ALBUM.
God no. Dance yuck.
Generic beat based dance music. Repetitive to the point of nausea. Not for me. Also I'm knocking it down a star less than it probably deserves because it's too damn long.
What’s That Noise? Good question. Super 80’s vibe with hints of Disco, Hip Hop, and Techno that ends up feeling a bit like an EDM Jam Band. Pretty sure I caught them sampling old cartoons on one of these tracks. I don’t see what the fuss is. If this is supposed to be the birth of EDM, then someone should go back in time and strangle Coldcut in its crib.
crap 80's dance & hip hop
There were some great parts, but most of the album was just basic house music unfortunately. I can see why someone would like it though!
Title kind of says it all. It's a bunch of samples.
Listened Before? N Unavailable on Spotify. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: N/A
Tedious acid/trance type dance 'music'.As a listening only experience, it's utterly useless.
Not on Spotify
Wasn’t on Apple Music.
I only listened to part of this because the album isn’t on Spotify and frankly the tracks I found there in the Best Of collection didn’t make me feel I needed to wade through YouTube’s cookie the same on the off chance of dragging it up to a 2. This is the kind of music (or lightly scrambled sound effects) that ensured I mostly ignored popular music for five years.
Not for me
Pompous. Artistic. Garbage. I get to listen to some random dude's idea of good music. It's not good music though. It's just mediocre.
point2.
Intolerable
Boring.
Horribly repetitive. Songwriting talent noticeably absent, just lots of bleep blop scratch.
maybe this would have been 2 stars as the only forgettable Brit DJ album on the list now that we've heard 20 others we'll never know. they've got Mark E. Smith on a track and it's still getting 1 star. bleep bloop: hated. (⌐■_■)
Not my cup of tea
doesnt exist
This is so irrelevant for music history that it was removed from Spotify. I think the reason it's in this list is that is so generic and uninteresting that it can't be replicated. Meaning that even if an artist actively tried to be so plainly irrelevant they would become interesting for trying, so it belongs here on the basis of being THE perfect shit album
Nah
Not on Spotify
Not available on Spotify. A rare day off.
One star because I couldn't find this album anywhere
Not for me :(
hot garbage
Not available to listen
Not a fan of the early British electronic scene
Not available
What's That Noise? I don't know ... This album was not on Spotify
Vi blir lidande bara för att författaren är hörselskadad.
didn’t finish this. started out okay but good god it went downhill fast
The kind of album that makes you want to end it all.
Not a fan
My streaming service didn't have this album. So I tried another of theirs and, as though, please file under 'did not listen.'
Not on Spotify, check YouTube instead! - hat mich nicht abgeholt, waren einige coole Ideen dabei, aber die Umsetzung gefiel mir nicht wirklich
Actually shit electro house icl hurt my ears
Did I really need to hear a dated dance album before I die?
Absolutely terrible.
Wasn’t available in my music service.
god, please, no
Not on Apple Music
I don't know -- it was ok but not anything that grabbed me. What's That Noise indeed. 1.5 stars
Nope. Didn't like this. Just went on and on and on.
*Record Scratch* You might be wondering why this album is on this list, well so am I. Its a bunch of DJ samples, the same funk beat, and record scratching for an hour. Each song is just too long and overstays its welcome. This would have been much more enjoyable if it was 3 times shorter. 2/10
Poperô que nem tem no deezer.
Taher Shah, the pakistani singer is more of a cowboy than catturd. You can call him cringe but all he did was make a song honoring his son, wife and humanity. What does catshit honor? Here is a quote from Shah's song "Angel" We can all be angels. A human like an angel. Shines as a star. The angel's character speaks like a flower. The stars are decorated by angels. Like the dew fills petals of a flower. All angels remain quiet. Like those flower that persist silent. But spread their essence but always reside jovial. Here is a quote from Catturd Dear Liberals, I turned on all my gas stove eyes today and let them run for no reason and there's nothing you can do about it but cry.
No esta en Spotify
Not on spotify
Innovative for 1989, but sounds like a chaotic headache today. Too long, too all over the place, too much like the work of a student in 2002. Not for me.
This isn't for me. DNF
Bummer this one isn’t on Apple
No disponible en Spotify
This is cheeeeeeesy and dated as fuck. God I hate the 80’s! And this one goes down almost as low as a parody I mean wtf? I endured (skipping) until the first half hour but it’s fucking unbearable. That synth sax is fucking shameful as ever. Good I’m crawling with hate!
Another album not Spotify!
I did not like this album at all. This just sounds like bad club music to me. Maybe I’m missing something or maybe it doesn’t really hold up anymore but this is the worst album on this project so far.
Nope
Not my bag
It may not be the fairest reaction, but when I’m generated an album that isn’t on Apple Music I can’t help but sigh. I want an easy life! Instead, I’ve had to find the album on YouTube and play it that way. It’s such a hard life. Songs I already knew: none Favourites: My Telephone This may have been at somewhat of a disadvantage as it was a little too similar to yesterday’s album. Dance music misses more than it hits for me, and this unfortunately misses a fair bit. There were certainly catchy parts, but it just left me feeling bored after only a few tracks. For people really into house music, this might be amazing. I just don’t think I’m the target market.
Opening song slapped, hated everything else. I’m glad I could only find a few songs from this as even half an hour was too much, the full 65 minutes would have been a nightmare
Wow, this did not age well. I'm surprised that it was released in 1989, the beats and vocal stylings sound older than that. The first song, People hold on was bearable because Lisa Stansfield has a good voice, but I couldn't take the remainder of the record.
Als je al niet eens de moeite neemt om een album op Spotify te laten staan, dan stik er maar in
New rule - if I can’t find you on Spotify or Apple Music auto 01
Didn't listen to this album because it's not available on spotify and apparently this album is so long and I wouldn't have the attention span for it in one sitting and don't like listening in to albums in multiple sittings
Can’t listen to it as it isn’t available in my region.
