Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Apparently this is post-hardcore, a subgenre I don't think I've ever really explored. This was good. It was nice to have something different on the list, and that bass tone is great.

3.5/5.0: Very Good

i enjoyed this one. alot of the tracks had a similar sound to the point where they kinda blended together but i never found myself waiting for this to end

Another “where have you been all my life” album. Similar to a lot of 90s indie rock but being from the Discord Extended Family has a bit more bite and organization than say, Jesus Lizard, Dinosaur Jr, etc.

Not very novel or catchy, but that’s not what’s needed from music like this. Emotional power and a touch of fury. Girls Against Boys ride the last wave of pre-Napster heavy rock.

This sort of thing has been done a million times better by a million more bands

Over it after just 4 songs

I don't agree with a lot of the bad comments here, I actually liked this one! Pretty decent songs, would listen again

4 ⭐️

Not a bad album. A lot of this sounded the same. 3/5

This was pretty good. I didn't always totally love the singer's voice, but the instruments were my cup of tea. The standout track for me was Let Me Come Back. A high three.

Really good album. Will definitely check out more from them

I like it a lot. It almost got a 5 from me, but ran a little long.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby was an album that i actually enjoyed a lot. I always love this kind of rock where it may not be metal or even hard rock but still has this air of heaviness to it which still makes it hit incredibly hard and that is probably one of the types of indie rock that i enjoy the most. The musicianship here was just absolutely great with particular shout outs to both the guitarist and the bassist who are the big heavy hitters of this album. Not everything about this album is perfect as there are some issues with the production, mainly the vocals which feel like they get drowned out by the music which is why it can only get a 4.5 but i still ended up loving this one.
Best Song: Rockets Are Red
Worst Song: Get Down

I had to listen to this album a couple times to get it, but I’m glad I did. The vocals remind me of Dinosaur Jr. and I like how they play with dynamics. Favorite songs were Rockets are Red, Let Me Come Back, Learned It, and 7 Seas.

They definitely went on to make a couple of records better than this one but I still like it. It's more of an overall vibe than a collection of distinctly great songs.

Buzzing guitars, gritty doubled up bass riffs, hard hitting drums, guttural throaty vocals, all assembled with grinding aggresive production make this a bit of an assault on the sense. A bit like, but a lot more unsung than, the classic post-hardcore bands like Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Dino Jr, Husker Du etc, this is from a bit later, from the grunge/alt rock era, where this heavy distorted sound had all been a bit more normalized, and more melodic sensibilities had crept in to make the leap from the diy space to the radio. This album is still on the harsher, more aggressive, less accessible side of that spectrum though, leaning heavily into the scuzzy low end, the abrasive textures, and the violent dynamics - and it fucking rips. Very strange I'd never heard of this before...

Favorites: Bughouse, Rockets are Red, Go Be Delighted

Nice

Second album by a band I have never heard of. I didn’t really mind this although the vocals are low in the mix, I quite liked their style. This album is labelled post hardcore which apparently means it is punk but more creative, and I get that. However, I kept thinking it sounded a bit like Pavement if Pavement were rubbish. Obviously my three stars is generously given… especially as this band makes the Pixies look good.

Lots of distortion...

A full and fruity palate with lingering notes of Motorhead, and a hint of Marilyn Manson, but without the balls and the speed (both sorts of speed in the case of Motorhead). And I can detect a full-bodied influence on Muse.

I think I'll finish the bottle.

Quite liked the sound of some of the songs on this album which is just as well as I don’t have a clue what the chap was singing.
