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.
This is like the last album but more backgroundy. I liked it less
This felt like it took a while to get going but when it did it was good. Closer to a 2 than 3 though.
Guys I’m a sucker for a cool guitar riff
Shit makes me want to punch my brother backstage in Paris. No notes.
Oh fuck yes this is it (fav song pretzel logic)
Yeah this was solid ngl. Less abrasive and more catchy. Some of the songs dragged on but as a whole the album felt good.
It felt like this one dragged more in places in comparison to the last one fav song(razor boy)
This was groovy the 20 minute opener was like somehow the worst song on here. Second one slaps tho
Eh it was good. I’m not gonna lie I zoned in an out but sounded enjoyable.
Ye ye ass music bro, what are they talking abt, couldn’t even get the vibe right
NICK CAVE AND THE PEOPLE SEEDS??? IN 2026??? Will you would never get it like harsh and I do. This was cool but never really lives hype of the first song
Groovy as beans
Yeah that intro definitely sold me on this vibe. Gets a bit samey the longer as we run along but hey the album isn’t that long so you don’t dwell on that for too long
Like listen is the vibe great. Yes. Does it feel mad repetitive after an hour, also yes. But hey the shit sounds like baseline junkie so I cannae be hating too much
Eh this was just ok. Just like again. A lot
What’s not to love
Was it simple? Yes, did it sound good also yes. I shot the sheriff still slaps. Idk I just didn’t feel as connected to the other songs as mych
This almost felt too quaint, I just couldn’t get into it.
Again this felt quaint. Cool but quaint
Guys the last 3 albums feel so sonically similar. Can we get a switch up
I was gonna say this sounds like some 60s shit and it is. Can we stop with the soft rock now plz
Cocaines a hell of a drug
Do ya like jazzz? This gas fr
I actually really enjoyed this one, didn’t sound as stale as some of the other art pop we’ve heard until now, very ironic for an album that’s called selling out. I just wish they cut out the last 3 songs. They added very little
Yk at first I thought this was clunky and didn’t sonically work, especially in the earlier songs (yes that includes Bucky dun gun) but as the album went on it almost settled into a flow that is like entrancing like is it closer to a 4 than a 6 yeah but solid intro
This was wonderful. Back in black still to this day reminds me of iron man, which i fuck with heavy.
Like it was fun but like every once in a while I’d try to listen to what he was saying and I just went, bro what are you on about. And then Aladdin sane started playing and I grooved out for a bit.
Sleepy fr. Like sounded good but just…
Yk made me wanna curl up and go back to bed. Maybe this is just the WC effect.
WHAT IS THERE BOT TO LOVE THIS A TOP 10 ALBUM OAT
It just feels samey. The sitar intro at the start rips but then it just slows down into that same art rock slump. Please I beg for a new artist/ new genre
It just feels long fr, like the individual songs, but apart from that it’s great. Lovely even
So I listened to this on YouTube (which I found cuz I looked at the reviews here and they all said the one on Spotify was wrong) and realised that I’d already listened to this album before. At my grandmother house, at some point. That’s what this album is, it’s Dadima’s fr. Almost cried listening to it, not for any other reason except that I never really actually soaked in what I’ve been hearing all these years. It’s beautiful, a reminder of home, between the sitar and flute with the harmonium in the background, I can taste chai and parle g, with some stupid Pakistani serial playing in the background. Shits heat.
Dude this was groovy as fuck I really enjoyed that. Who doesn’t enjoy a good lil bass riff fr.
The ideas were there it just didn’t all come together for me. The middle half of the album was the same song for 20 minutes and it tried the whole spooky scary skeletons vibe before moving to better versions of that same vibe
Big fan of this very groovy actually
This has the second best track called U ever
It was groovy, as we’ve established i love a good guitar riff, this should be everything i like but at a certain point you kind have to balance the mastery and the music yk, and at times that was lacking
Greatly fucked with the lyre of Orpheus more than abattoir blues
On Spotify the last song came up with no lyrics so I was like “what is this some rap songs” and then lyrics appeared and I dropped my phone
A solo Paul Cortney ???! In this economy?
This is a perfectly ok album, nothing really special, especially in context of the art rock heard so far. It tries to be political at times but it kinda feels drowned out by the backing
You like jazz (pt2 electric boogaloo)
I just hearing “oi pussy” in an Indian accent for some reason… need another album of that
Listen I would give this a five if not for the audio sex scene right before arguable the best song.
Oh yay more generic art rock
Sega feel like a sonic the hedgehog deal
This was a tight 35 minutes, very nice. The ideas in here feel explored but not played out. It really just feels like a 30 minute long nirvana song. Neat!
I think I just dislike country sounds cuz like it sounded nice but country twangs piss me off
