Not the best of its kind, but a clear gap on the original list. Great pick

I enjoyed it, it was a nice discovery, but it could be much shorter, since it becomes tiring very quickly.

I didn't get it, neither the album nor why it deserves to be here.

It's hard to say if this will be culturally relevant in 3 or 30 years, but I can state that to me in 2025 it's is indeed relevant and it deserves a place on this type of list. However, it's not something I like to listen to myself, and it was not a joyful listening session. Despite some very popular songs that were in the (good) NPR Tiny Desk version, it's a bland album at best.

Meh...good add to the list, but far from great.

Reading the Wiki: Another 70s psych rock? Realy? At least it's a German one and not another copy of the USA scene that floods the original 1001 list.

First song: Did you call it a production? Red flag.

After some time: I think these guys know what they are doing. I can enjoy more 30 minutes of it.

Before the improvisations at the end: Wow! I should check their other albums.

In summary, they should throw out the improvisations, but the album is quite good and does not look like a cheap copy of classical psychedelic rock or progressive stuff. It deserves a spot on the list, and I thank the user who picked this one.

Some days ago I watched a YouTube video about this album. The video was pretty cool. The album is ok.

I need to give it some credit

Good for my mood today, but I guess I'll not stay with it for too many time.

Another day, and I was fooled again by the cover art. Good piece of music, but I'll not remember it for more than 2 days (the loop structure of the album successfully made me listen to it 1 time and a half)

This is my kind of folk!

Given the cover art and the Wikipedia page, I expected something different. My frustration keeps me from really enjoying it, even though I had some small foot moves on some songs.

Not my thing, although I can recognize its importance and why some people enjoy it. Here, my rate is much more my fault than any other technical aspect or more elaborate argument.

This is truly far from what I enjoy listening to, but it is a good work and it deserves an extra star for being somehow different from the "standard" of the 1001 list (on language, but also on style).

Despite 2 or 3 good songs that caught my attention, it's, in general, a quite boring album to me.

Hard to evaluate, but I liked it

Not specifically to this album, but when I started this 1001 challenge, one of the reasons was to know new stuff with human curation, since I was tired of repeatedly listening to the same thing, and automatic recommendations always tried to fit my own musical taste. The list had problems, but I believe I achieved my goal.

After 80 albums on the users' list, I realize that most people probably had the same reason, since around 80% of the users' submissions sound so generic and uninspired.

This one is also meh...as expected.

Nothing new to see here. Young English rockers doing English rock in the early 2000s (the rockest moment to play rock). They did a good job.

Any punk album with less than 30 minutes deserves 5 stars, even if nothing is great!

Sorry, but no
