Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Es ist ein kantiges, post-hardcore Album mit düsterem Groove und doppeltem Bass, das sich bewusst von Indie-Rock-Klischees absetzt. Mit Tracks wie „Bulletproof Cupid“ und „Satin Down“ liefert die Band eine rohe, charismatische Energie, stilistisch eigenwillig, aber nicht unbedingt ein Klassiker.

The lead singer’s voice is a bit grating, which lessens the enjoyment level. But they certainly know how to create a solid wall of sound. Not really my cup of tea, but I do think they succeeded at what they probably set out to do.
Gonna give it 3 stars because I can’t give it 2.5

Não vejo porque este disco está aqui. Não é particularmente notável ou destacável em nenhum aspecto. Mediano, apenas.

Venus Luxure No.1 Baby
From sublime and fascinating yesterday with Scott 4, to dreary and uninspiring with this. I’m sure it's someone’s cup of tea somewhere, but it’s really not mine at all.

The band are certainly tight, and there are some occasional interesting moments flickering among the staid one note indie post hardcore monotony, the looped string/keyboard on Go Be Delighted is nice and the restrained drumming and bass on on Get Down are good and the little piano riff on Billy’s One Stop is nice, but nothing can really make up for the fact that, ultimately, every single song is boring and the whole thing just feels utterly pointless and very tedious, with out any sense of dynamism or melodic variation to add any light and shade to all the one dimensional flatness.

While it may not be truly horrific it is dull, and subsequently irritating, and there is no reason to ever even think about listening to this again.

Playlist submission: Go Be Delighted

I didn’t hate it but I’m also not convinced I would recognise any of these tracks if I heard them again. It went in one ear and out the other.

OK, I thought I was going to hate this based off the description but was pleasantly surprised! It sounds a bit like discount Alice in Chains, but would rather listen to some sick riffs than some of the other UK shit on this list. 3/5

Metaling

The good - cool 90s alternative sludgy grooves. The bad - a bit too much noise in the guitar sounds and the singer is too far back in the mix most of the time. Grooved to it, but it was a little much sometimes. I'd call it a 3.5 and I'll round it up because it definitely had me bopping. Favorite tracks: Go Be Delighted, Rockets are Red, Bulletproof Cupid.

I dig some of the riffs on this. The vocals really don’t do it for me though.

Totally fine 90s indie rock. I didn't really notice it when it came out, and I don't feel I missed much

Excellent music for establishing an atmosphere. Mumbling, heavy instrumentals, kinda monotonous and gloomy. If you're running an RPG set in the mid-ninties, play this to establish the mood!

I found it dull, yet inoffensive.

Solid rock no flaws.

I had a vague awareness of these guys from the "Series 7: The Contenders" soundtrack, but this is totally the kind of stuff I would have loved at the time. Why is Washington DC so interesting musically?

The band and album were unknown to me until now. I liked it a lot. Clear, dirty rock. That was fun. I'll definitely listen to it again. 4/5

"I hope you don't have a good time", McCloud monotonously sings on "Satin Down".

I didn't, so he must be rather pleased with himself.

3.25

Really solid 90s alt rock, but I wouldn't really say it does anything super out of the box either. I dug it though.

Liked this better than I expected. I remember them from the Clerks soundtrack. 3/5

Starts off great, loses me by the end. Some cool sounds. Could grow on me.

3/5

Kind of dark and helmet-ish in some ways. Certainly something I would normally like but it didn't really stand out to me.
