This feels like it took all the wrong lessons from a Beatles album or like a Mac demarco album but without the interesting guitar skills to make it really interesting
Hard not to like an album with a banging 10 minute song in it. That being said the ending track was an actual letdown for such a solid half an hour of music.
If I could give this a 3.5 I would. The first disk was actually ok had some highs had some lows. The second disk sounded like someone melted dark side of the moon in like a bad way. But alas I am a physicist and we round up.
Literally what is there to hate fr
This sounded like someone listened to bob Marley and tried to make it as white as possible. I’d go as far as to call this a historical “Monica by Jack Harlow” moment
Listen have I listed to half of these song a bajillion times against my will. Yes. Did that hamper my enjoyment of the album? Without the aid of alcohol, also yes. I actually did not mind the songs I didn’t know. Unfortunately I am unable to separate my feelings on the matter.
Don’t listen to the internet the best song on here is clearly eternal life
Yo can that guy who is talking too close to the mic kindly shut the fuck up I wanna hear Kurt not your white fanboying ass.
This is like MMFOOD but like older. Bangers
Listen is it abbas best work no but like it’s abba isn’t never going to be bad
Yk what I actually really fucked with this one
I feel like this is an album I probably should have liked more than i did it just feels very jagged like stop starty. Especially with the lyrics, which took me out of it a lil
Guys I actively disliked this one. Not like oh i was neutral to it but I understand how people could like it, not “mmm i dislike it but that’s just down to my music sensibilities i can understand why people enjoy it” I genuinely don’t understand how people can enjoy this. I have never heard both a singer and a guitar, at the same time, sound like a dying cat. I’m genuinely perplexed at how you make a tuned instrument sound like that. Burn the guitar. Honest to god it’s got the soul of a coal mining Victorian child in it. There’s actually not even one redeeming song it’s just the same incessant whining for 37 minutes. I couldn’t even get over the sound of either of their voices to hear what they were saying and the backing was so genuinely terrible that I PREFERRED TO STUDY FOR MY EXAM THAN LISTEN TO THIS CUZ IT WAS LESS PAINFUL. Genuinely they play this at Guantanamo bay as a less humane way of torturing people than waterboarding. This is only getting a 1 because I can’t give it a 0. Now this is my first impression of Mbv but honestly if this is what it all sounds like I have to wonder how their fan base has any braincells left.
This felt like the backing track to a House MD season in all the best ways. God that show nailed its song choices
This feel likes astral weeks done right, done way better. Gone is the horrid singing that covers over the pretty solid guitar riffs, but with the trade off being that the backing seems a bit more plain.
It didn’t feel as coherent as the last Bowie one, but also felt like it was prodding at bigger issues, I’m sure if I prodded at the meanings behinds the songs more I’d find my self caring more but alas I have study to do
This feels like some shit a discord mod plays when they fail to get in a relationship for the third time. “You wouldn’t understand me I’m too sigma” or some shit. The instrumentals were cool tho
I fucked with the piano on here ngl that shit went feral
This is like 1989 but I have good memories of the songs. I have no idea if I’m a nostalgia merchant but god they could write. A shame about their newer stuff.
I have no doubt that when this was released it was seen as either extremely ground breaking or a perfection of craft, but to me this sounds very nostalgic. Unfortunately it’s a throwback to an era where music is slightly more simple. Not that that’s bad but it makes it hard for me to rank. Given my modern sensibilities it sounds nice but quaint. But in a different age or perhaps mood I feel like I would be rating this higher. I’ve opted for a medium between.
