Various - This Is 1994

Review by BERTA YoonAddict

This Is 1994: A Wild Ride Through Genres That Shouldn’t Work But Somehow Do Alright, let’s get one thing straight—This Is 1994 ain’t your typical compilation album. Released in 2008 by EMI (yeah, they were still around back then), this beast of a record slaps together Electronic, Reggae, Hip Hop, Pop, and everything else you didn’t know you needed. It’s like someone threw a bunch of genres into a blender, hit “puree,” and hoped for the best. Surprisingly? It kinda works. The tracks bounce between Brit Pop swagger, Synth-pop vibes, RnB/Swing grooves, and even some Reggae-Pop chill. And no, it doesn’t feel cohesive—but honestly, who cares? This is pure chaos wrapped up in nostalgia. The album dropped in the UK, Europe, and Australia, which explains why it feels like a global mishmash of sounds. You’ve got bangers like “Always” rubbing shoulders with deep cuts like “Oblivion.” And yeah, there are moments where it feels like the playlist was curated by a hyperactive teenager flipping channels on MTV. But hey, that’s part of its charm. Now, let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck with me because, damn, they’re unforgettable—for better or worse. First up, “Shipbuilding.” Holy crap, this song hits different. It’s slow, moody, and dripping with melancholy. If you’ve ever felt like life just keeps punching you in the gut while everyone else moves on? This track gets it. The piano riff alone could make a grown man cry, and the lyrics? Brutal. It’s not exactly what I expected from an album full of pop-rock anthems and reggae jams, but maybe that’s why it stands out. Feels like stumbling across a hidden gem when you weren’t even looking. Then there’s “The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get.” Okay, so this one’s straight fire. Morrissey vibes all over this bad boy. It’s punchy, sarcastic as hell, and has that Brit Pop edge that makes you wanna grab a leather jacket and strut down the street like you own the place. Every time I hear those opening chords, I’m ready to start a fight—or at least argue passionately about something dumb. It’s catchy as hell, but don’t let that fool you; there’s venom lurking under the surface. So yeah, This Is 1994 is messy as all get-out, but isn’t that kinda beautiful? It’s like revisiting an old photo album where half the pictures are blurry, but you remember the stories behind them anyway. Sure, not every track lands, and sometimes the transitions feel like whiplash, but it’s real. Raw. Human. And here’s the kicker—it came out in 2008, pretending to be a snapshot of 1994. But guess what? None of these songs are actually from 1994. Mind blown yet? They pulled tracks from all over the place, slapped a shiny label on it, and called it a day. Cheeky bastards. Final thought: If you’re looking for perfection, skip this. But if you want something weird, wild, and unapologetically itself, crank this sucker up. Just don’t blame me if your brain explodes trying to keep up.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: the album *This Is 1994* isn’t actually from 1994. It was released in 2008, but it’s packed with tracks that capture the vibe of the '90s. EMI put it together for the UK, Europe, and Australia, blending genres like Electronic, Reggae, Hip Hop, and Pop. You’ve got Synth-pop, Brit Pop, even a bit of RnB/Swing—all mixed into one nostalgic collection. It’s like a time capsule, but made years after the fact. Tracks like “Shipbuilding” and “Baby Come Back” feel like they’re straight out of a '90s mixtape. Not bad for an album made in the future, right?
