|
|
what's the most disappointing album you ever bought? I have to admit I sometimes am a sucker for record review or media hype. I remember reading a review on an artist name asop rock and the album itself had a lable with all these great things written about the album,plus I like the artwork on the cover. when I threw it in my car stereo I found myself forwarding each song tell the first crappy song came on again. Its funny because when ever this happens to me I try to force myself to like a song but after 24 hours I realize its just crap.

Metallica St Anger was a major disappointment. It was good but no where near Metallica's level of perfection.
Pearl Jam has gone way downhill ever since they decided to get Political...but that's the case for many bands.
Nirvana also went down hill after Kurt died.
NIN new album only has one or two good songs. Pass on that one. |

I think I only listened to that album twice. 
and Daddy Yankee's Barrio Fino wasn't that great. but someone bought that for me.

the high risk of being disappointed is the reason i haven't bought an album in 10 years. and i have about 90-100gb of music.

The new tool album is a disappointment. Only a few of the songs rock truly hard and it will likely be another 5 years before they put out anything new again.

I've been a huge fan of Outkast since Southernplayalistick, but the last double album just stunk. Andre's was OK, but Big Boi's was pretty weak. After Southern, ATLiens, Aquemini, Stankonia, it just wasn't up to par. Huge disapointment.
Also, every Radiohead album after OK Computer. Loved their first 3 albums, but now Thom York seems to have lost the ability to enunciate.
Funny how both those guys seem to have been so underrated early in their careers and now they're overrated. It's like critics jumped on the bandwagon late and refuse to jump off. |

you need another listen socks. kid a is the best album of all time, amnesiac is amazing and so is hail to the theif. that band keeps getting better and more innovative. they push the field of music to the next level while other bands *cough* tool *cought* just rehash their same tired sound over and over.

You know Ocho, I've tried and tried to get into those albums, but just can't do it to the extent that I was into the first 3. There are a few songs off each of those albums that I find pretty good, but in general they're just not for me. Of course, that didn't stop me from getting tickets when they play here at the end of June...can't wait for the show. |

2pac - The rose that grew from the concrete(I think that's the name)
Well it was 2pac poems read by someone else. I gave it to my sister.
With that said I never bought many albums other then 2pac among others. |

socks- i hear ya...they're very different and not necessarily easy to listen to. i would suggest perhaps partaking in some herbal refreshments, put some good headphones on and give it another shot. it's beautiful music.

| Radio Head is the most underrated band of all-time. But if you don't understand them you will never like them. |

I cant understand them lately because thom can't seem to say a word without slurring it  .
Saw them and the Pixies at Coachella a few years back though and they were both awesome.
Now I know many people would disagree with me on their later stuff, but the Pixies are a band that has NEVER disappointed me. |

Weezer - Make Believe
disappointed me pretty badly
Was expecting Pinkerton kind of impact but that may be setting my Weezer standards too high. |

havent bought a disc in such a long time...But, i have a feeling that IF, chinese democracy is ever to see the light of day, then it will probably suck..
Ill buy that CD ,but chances are it wont be even close to what GNR was in the 80's
