Truly appalling albums by acts/bands you like

[Peteinblack]

Just remembered another one:

This pile of shite came between the brilliance of Volume IV and Physical Graffiti

 

[Mellotron]

Sorry. My point is that TGE was a significant departure from what went before, and that that catalogue should not be lumped with it.

(although Mello has now listed There's No Other Way on his blacklist, so he's plainly just a simpleton)

Guessing you're a fan of the Austin Powers OST as well, then?

 

[tinycowboy]

Ah, I reckon three of New Order's best tracks are on this album: Sunrise (one of the best 'intros' to a song ever), Love Vigilantes and Sub-culture !

I'll give it another go. Probably doesn't help that the last time I listened, it was a really boring, rainy Sunday. Still, Bizarre Love Triangle, All Day Long, Weirdo...great works of art!

Right, a few more:
Prince - Graffiti Bridge. The last Prince album I ever bought. The only Prince album I ever bought that I sold on eBay.
REM - anything after Document. As Hans Kraay FC says, they lost it.
Low - Drums and Guns. Just can't find anything to love about this album. Sadly.

zzzz.

No.




(I nominate everything INTERPOL have ever made. ALL shit)







not really

 

[fire&skill]

'The Cost of Loving' by The Style Council isn't one of Mr Weller's finest moments but it's better than the house one that didn't see an official release.

 

[tinycowboy]

I know this is controversial and possibly going to lead to endless ridicule but I really like Kid A. I mean personal top thirty ever like. Am I weird?

No, you are CORRECT.

 

[Big_Unit]

Every Radiohead album after OK Computer.

Very, very much this (with the exception of about three tracks).

 

[Mellotron]

zzzz.

No.

Seriously though, that bit coming out of the chorus is PAINFULLY cringeworthy. At 1:18 seriously, listen to that and tell me it doesn't make you want to hack off your own ears. Actually, the whole song.

I struggle to complain at any of Damon Albarn's work. You've got to respect someone who is prepared to risk his reputation by constantly experimenting. Yes, some of it is not as good as the others (Gorillaz also produced some great stuff and some not so good), but at least he's put it out there. Compare this to the Gallaghers and their dated whiney stuff which all got very, very boring.

Demo-crazy is rubbish. For some bizarre reason, I have three copies of this.

If you want a bad song off Leisure, I'd recommend Bang. Terrible. Catastrophically disappointing third single. Can still remember playing it for the first time and wondering why they thought this was worth releasing.

 

[tinycowboy]

I'm not saying this deserves to be put forward, but does anyone think that Strangeways is a great album?

Utter nonsense. Nothing wrong with Bang at the time, if a little dated now.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

The Happy Monday's Yes Please however, is a different story absolute shite with nothing even half decent to redeem it.

absolutely love it. Not justifying it but you know the story, it was knocked out in about 5 minutes in Eddy Grant's(?) studio in St Lucia (?) (I stand to be corrected on both points) Shaun Ryder added the vocals at a later point in a recording studio up by East Grinstead. For a car crash of an album I think it turned out ok

Bloody hell, really. I think it sounds like a car crash. Not nearly as interesting as the story of its creation . The worst Monday's album by a country mile.

I think that Second Coming is actually a good call. I say this as a HUGE Roses fan, but it is SO poor in comparison to the first.

Its sole redeeming feature is Ten Story Love Song, which is MAGNIFICENT.

I do love that song, but there's a few other decent tunes.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Tusk...fleetwood mac

Not true:

- Too many notes being played on the guitar
- Chorus so weak that you don't even realise it IS the chorus

HOWEVER, nice chicken on the front.

Fairly odd US remix 12" of it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbwbXs9G2-k

and while I'm on a roll going against the majority......the opposite to this, love every album since, more than the previous one, some of the tracks on In Rainbows are superb esp Weird Fishes, 15 Step and Reckoner. The King Of Limbs has a track called 'Bloom' you cant knock that!

Agree with the first few posts , St Anger by Metallica is not good . I would extend that to Load and ReLoad as well. Everything else bloody brilliant.
Also
Never Say Die- Black Sabbath . Cool sleeve though . Can't comment on the other albums in between Born Again and Dehumanizer as not heard them.
Final Cut -Pink Floyd seemed to be a wimper after The Wall and almost a lead into Water's Pros and Cons of Hitchiking. Have to disagree with some on here .Very much enjoyed the Gilmour driven Floyd albums that followed.
Last but not least an absolute nail in the coffin of a truly great band. Cut the Crap by the Clash... Truly dreadful.
