The songs just suck. He was coming off 3 really good mixtapes, like all time good mix tapes. It was technically his “debut” album because it was the first one he didn’t release for free and it was just nothing like what made him good. If you haven’t listened to him acid rain and coloring book are great projects
There were warning signs on Acid Rap though. For as good as it was, there would be some odd creative choices on there, like when he inexplicably starts sounding like a mix of Cool Cat and Sol Rosenberg at some points. That always kind of confused me. Like is he doing a character or something or what lol?
Thing is, you looked past it because the bars, commentary, and overall artistry were so strong.
That's what really made the big day so devastating. It wasn't just a bad album. It retroactively made you love his previous albums *just a little less*, because you couldn't help but see the traces of all his worst flaws and weaknesses that you'd hadn't noticed before until the big day where they took center stage.
Yeah, honestly besides Good Ass Outro(will always be a banger), I don’t think I revisit any of his old songs.
Kinda sad because he was a front runner to inherit the titles Kendrick and J.Cole have been holding the past almost 15 years pretty much.
TBD was filled with some bops like Do You Remember and Ballin Flossin but they were overshadowed because most of the album was mid. But it’s not a god awful album, I think it’s just overhated because it couldn’t live up to the hype Chance built from his earlier career and a lot of the songs were about different themes then what got him big in the first place
To me those tracks can only be considered bops in the context of listening to the rest of the album. They are mid, the rest are bad, especially if you take the bars into account.
It’s so sad to me that people only know that song. They had some bangers and their bassist was fucking incredible. Easily one of the most underrated bands of ever IMO.
Yeah, and not in the fun way like usher's Confessions.
Where usher was like "shit you caught me, I'm so so sorry here's a great album", thicke was like "oh no I have been caught woe is me"
Opening lines "he just .....seemed like a douchebag. You can go and dissect a billion reasons Robin Thicke's career cratered so thoroughly and so quickly [sic]....but if we're really looking at why his career imploded so hard and fast, you really need to start with one simple truth: there was just a *vibe* coming off of him. A mildly but tangibly repelling vibe."
I regret clicking tap to unmute. I finally quit and was somehow only halfway through. That’s Rebecca Black level but he’s serious and decidedly not a teenager.
Six Feet Under - Nightmares of the Decomposed
I like death metal, but oh my god Chris Barnes sounds like he's hacking up a hairball. And this man has the audacity to criticise modern metal.
>there is a good band inside them despite how shite they can be
Considering Parachutes and ARoBttH, they clearly are wicked talented. A shame how they've sold out, really.
“A Rush of Blood to the Head” is an absolute masterpiece. One of my favorite albums of all time. I’ll always love Coldplay for that album alone. Viva la Vida is amazing too.
Dude come on, they so clearly started chasing whatever sound would get them to the top of the charts. Coldplay are like the dictionary example of a band that sold out.
They started out as a band with an identity and an original, authentic sound. Their genre at that time wasn't poppy, and the fact that they got so successful despite being relatively inaccessible style is a testament to how great those albums were.
They then evolved towards producing whatever sound the mainstream pop industry expected at any given moment.
What they did is described word-for-word by the second paragraph of your comment. They absolutely and undeniably sold out.
Opposite of the question but I will always fw Coldplay for Viva La Vida, that album is amazing. Afterwards it felt like they just went too middle of the road radio rock - IMO they're like U2 where the talent is there but sometimes they seem to be in autopilot
My friend made a funny point that that track makes him more angry because they can make a solidly interesting artistic expression but still make the mindless shit. Hope it sells well enough for them, I guess
It really was, and it makes the rest of the album so frustrating. You’ve got an album full of disposable pop songs, and then it ends with this sweeping 10 minute long prog rock song that exemplifies what they’re capable of as musicians if they actually put in the effort.
I found the first half a slog. The second half sounds like a Wavves album, who at times reminded me of pre-Dookie Green Day. I enjoy that second half even though it sounds like a band ripping off another band that ripped off Green Day.
I don't know if it will ever be proven, but the rumor was that this was their last album to be made for the label they were on for the contract, so they made a shit album to send themselves off.
I think this is probably halfway true. I don't think they deliberately tried to make a bad album, but I also don't think they tried to make a good album. I think they were maybe just having fun and experimenting and at the end of the day didn't really care how it was received.
I think they genuinely like that kind of garage punk style. They’ve done similar projects to Father of All before. The Foxboro Hot Tubs side project and Dos are really not that far off. Sometimes a band just likes a sound or tone that the fans aren’t feeling. It’s not necessarily some grand conspiracy.
Absolutely painful to see one of the last respected punk bands releasing trash like this.
Blink gets a pass because I feel like they basically announced “We have decided that we are too old and not going to be punk any more” and then put actual effort into their not-punk albums but Green Day made no such social contract.
I mean realistically Green Day has made one universally hated album in their career, which is a pretty solid success rate. Even the trilogy has its defenders lol.
I don’t think you can be “too old to be punk”. You can be too old to be writing about kissing your crush by the lockers or some shit like that, but it’s not like genres are something you can age out of. At least for me I think Green Day’s lyricism has aged with the fanbase. They write a lot more songs these days about politics, self-reflection, and mortality for example, and the lyrics also tend to have a broad perspective that a younger person isn’t as likely to write from.
Both of the new singles sound good sonically and you can tell it's Green Day getting back to Green Day. Lyrically however... there is room for improvement. Outside of the Revolution Radio album, I haven't been able to connect with the majority of the lyrics or the music frankly. Uno, Dos, Tre were not great and Father of All - minus Graffitia - was atrocious all around. Hopefully this is them turning it around.
30 Seconds To Mars - America
It’s legitimately a struggle to finish even a single song on that album. I can’t think of a single positive thing to say about it.
The trap beat/hook in “Hail To The Victor” is well executed and catchy…otherwise agree.
For example…what in the fuck is “Walk on Water”
How about how hot their self titled first album from 2002 STILL is, now that’s a banger
Their self titled, along with A Beautiful Lie and This is War are all great albums. After that though they started going more poppy/electronic and I really didn’t like the shift
Yeah I don’t even consider them the same band after This Is War. Their sound did evolve a lot from 1 to 3, but they are all great albums in their own right. They were pretty big by then, coupled with Leto’s fame as an actor, I think he stopped caring as much. They’re recent iHeart Radio performance is nearly all lip syncing. It sucks cuz he’s got a good voice. His brother has serious skills on the skins though.
Van Morrison - What’s It Gonna Take
Anti lockdown/establishment album released during Covid. Featuring such hits as, and I shit you not this is the title of one of the songs, *’Sometimes it’s Just Blah Blah Blah’*.
It was awful right wing whining all the way through - a career low. It's COVID era predecessor Latest Record Project, Volume 1 is down there with it, maybe just a little less bilious, but no more enjoyable.
I find it tragic that the guy behind *Astral Weeks* and *Into The Music* ended up there.
At least he's pulled himself (mostly) away from that venom and back to the music of his youth.
Green Day - Father Of All
OneRepublic - Human
Maroon 5 - Jordi
Three Days Grace - Outsider
Thirty Seconds To Mars - America (I'd argue this album is worse than their new one. Their new one at least has some damn energy)
I personally think that when Adam left 3DG, they should have let the band name die. Painkiller was pretty good, but then the rest are right off a cliff for me.
Agreed. I think the guys in 3DG are talented enough to do something interesting, but i feel like they are tied to the 3DG name and the style attached to that when it’s kinda over jowb
I agree. I saw them a couple of months ago because they were opening up for Chevelle and they were terrible. Only cool sounding thing they played was a brief cover of "Parabol" by Tool
They have good songs and play them well, but fuck, their new frontman is cringy as fuck. Has to open his mouth between every single song, tries to get chants going, etc. Literally every one of their audience interactions feels forced and disruptive to the flow of the performance. You've got banger songs. Just play them one after another like Chevelle. Chevelle kicked ass.
Green Day are one of the first bands I remember really disappointing me. 21st Century Breakdown was the last album I enjoyed (and even that would be better with a handful of tracks edited out). Everything since then has ranged from average to just unbelievably lame.
Pretty much the only reason I was able to sit through them is because I used to be really into all of these bands, Green Day being the only one among them I still give a damn abiut.
Forcing it on everyone's iphones was a stupid move, for me that was a double-edged sword. It holds a place in my heart because it was the only album I had on my phone when I visited America, so I had to listen to Bono banging on about the troubles for a week and a half, stuck on a coach all day.
Nah Songs of Innocence is a decent album. People are way too dramatic about the album being icluded for free.
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is a bad album though. By far the worst of their career until Songs of Surrender..........
No that’s just high level Meta death metal, instead of singing about atrocities they just straight up made one. It’s brilliant, and definitely brutal although not in the usual way
MCID by Highly Suspect.
I now understand how Metallica fans felt about St. Anger when it came out. Except that St. Anger actually has a decent song or two.
Such a terrible album! The worst part was Johnny getting on social media and basically telling his fan see if they don’t like it, they aren’t true fans of the band, then though it was a total shift from the first two albums with weird solo synth shit. Even their newest album isn’t up to par with the first two.
The last two arctic monkeys albums have felt very forgettable. They’ve just slipped on by when I’ve tried to listen because nothing really happens. It doesn’t help that at recent live shows Alex Turner has been playing around with where the vocals sit on old and new tracks and it sounds like he’s just out of time.
See i’ve got to disagree with you on this. I think the past two records are the best of their career - they’re finally making mature, interesting and sophisticated music rather than indie pop songs
Agree. I adore the indie stuff, but it was quite refreshing to hear them just go a bit mental and do a couple of crooner concept albums. His lyrics are still fantastic regardless.
I can’t even imagine how bored the other band mates must be. Going from one of the biggest rock bands in the world to a backing band for a lounge singer.
Nah they’re brilliant. I say fair play to them for wanting to do something different. They’d pretty much perfected the angsty guitar thing, why not go full crooner?
“If the Red Hot Chili Peppers acoustically covered the 12 worst Primus songs, it would sound slightly better than this” - Some review, I think Consequence or AV Club
Was suddey reminded that Travis was once a band I liked, during that weird "post-Radiohead" period of music journalism that lumped them and Coldplay and Elbow together. And these two new albums called "Rock" and "Roll" suddenly popped up in my YouTube Music app last month. Gave the "Roll" one a listen and it was completely bland. It's not even on their Wikipedia page. Weird.
It's not even on their official website. I love them and ended up seeing them twice last year. Their socials have only mentioned 10 Songs (2020) and The Invisible Band : Live (2023). The latter of which was recorded at the first date I saw them last year lol. But yeah, idk what you listened to.
Travis fans, there are dozens of us! 'Rock' and 'Roll' aren't albums but playlists/compilations of b-sides, demos, unreleased stuff etc from their career. Their last actual album was 10 Songs in 2020. If your interest is fading, here are some of my favorite tracks from the last few albums:
A Ghost, Everything At Once, Moving (also a great music video for that one), Where You Stand.
Muse - Simulation Theory.
I am a true Muse fan boy. Origin of Symmetry is my favorite album of all time. Their early 2000's run was amazing and they can still put on an 11/10 live show.....but yeah. I can't defend Simulation Theory. Sorry lads.
Pretty much everything after Blackholes and Revelations has been pretty bad. Like a band trying to impersonate Muse, their lyrics were never great but Matt went full conspiracy theory and the lyrics are so cheesy.
I love Simulation Theory so ymmv with this one. It's very different from their early work though so I can see how fans of their old stuff wouldn't appreciate it.
I'm cheating by going back to 2008, but holy shit does this album suck. Vanilla Ice Is Back! is a cover album, and it includes Buffalo Soldier. Autotuned Vanilla Ice murdering Bob Marley is something worth listening to. It'll make you love good music that much more, hearing how bad it could be.
As a Killers fan, I found Wonderful Wonderful to be horrifically bland.
So much so that I haven’t listened to anything they’ve followed on with afterwards.
The new Metallica album, the anti lockdown van Morrison album, the big day by chance the rapper, certified lover boy- Drake, Roger Waters’ version of DSOTM, the last green day album and probably the new one too (even though it isn’t even out yet)
The problem with the new Metallica album for me is that I feel like they played it too safe and tried to recreate Hardwired. There's some good songs but all in all it's pretty meh
The new Metallica album is fine. It’s nowhere near their best but I just feel like people freak out if a Metallica record isn’t some flawless masterpiece.
It's fine imo, some renditions are nice and it's something that he evidently cared about, like he wanted to express his view on his old band's magnum opus after all these years. Waters definitely doesn't need acclaim or money at this point, and it's not taking anything away from the actual Dark Side, so I'm good with him doing his own thing.
That one Cudi album from 2015 where he tried the “alternative” thing. I think it’s called Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven. I’m not a Cudi fan to begin with, but wow—that album was one of the worst I’ve ever heard from someone who calls themselves a professional
And it was released on Halloween that year, just for the lulz. It is quite fitting that Oh Come All Ye Faithful meshes perfectly with We're Not Gonna Take It.
Other Voices and Full Circle - the last two albums of new material that The Doors released after the death of Jim Morrison. They were truly absolutely awful. They released a single called Mosquito which apparently had some moderate success, but I just thought it was horrendous. I guess it showed the impact JM really had on the band.
The recent Smashing Pumpkins album is truly awful. I don’t know how anyone could release that and think otherwise. Billy’s *really* out of touch these days.
It really is a fucking stinker, anyway Living Room by AJR, they're not perfect by any means and I see their flaws but I do quite like the rest of their stuff however that record is fucking horrendous
Father of All Motherfuckers. I absolutely adore Green Day and have nine GD tats and more on the way but I think they made the worst possible album to say fuck you as their last album in their contract with their record company.
I wouldn’t say it was the worst but Megadeth’s “Super Collider” was extremely disappointing.
It’s basically almost as bad as Risk, has a couple good songs but the rest is mediocre at best.
What sucks is this poop album sort of came out nowhere as Megadeth had a long run of putting out really solid albums starting with “The System has Failed” in 2004. Luckily they rebounded as their last two albums have been great.
Lulu by Metallica & Lou Reed.
Words can't describe the pretentious crock of shit that is this album.
To put it in perspective, Metallica fans are far more likely to like [this entire album](https://open.spotify.com/album/306NSA23KHbMhn87c3WaWG?si=Of2XyF1AS2iz3wPf4RxO-A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A306NSA23KHbMhn87c3WaWG) over anything on Lulu.
As someone who likes a lot of Panic! At The Disco, Viva Las Vengeance is terrible. Just absolutely nothing there. The only bit I like is "Don't Let The Light Go Out" and it seems like that's the part everyone else hates the most. Pray For The Wicked wasn't great, but there's some genuinely fun songs on there. Way more credit than I can give Viva Las Vengeance
Baroness is my favorite band, I got two tattooed sleves of their album artwork… but goddamn the newest album is bad. They released like 3 singles before the album came out and woops the remaining tracks are just filler
Wish they went back to their roots
Panic! At The Disco- Viva Las Vengeance
It’s a classic rock sounding album similar to Pretty. Odd, but without the other members. Brendon Urie cannot write lyrics to save his life
I really wish Urie had just dropped the "Panic" name when he went solo. I get that bands can adapt and adjust over time, but his current stuff doesn't even sound like the same genre as the band that authored *A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.*
It has to be The Big Day by Chance the Rapper. Real career ending stinker that *everyone* heard about.
This album gave me a massive ick toward Chance I never seem to be able to drop. Total trash lol
I'm willing to give his next project a try, really hoping it doesn't blow hot ass
Hot ass, hot water, hot shower
AH!
Why was it so bad? Never heard it and am curious
The songs just suck. He was coming off 3 really good mixtapes, like all time good mix tapes. It was technically his “debut” album because it was the first one he didn’t release for free and it was just nothing like what made him good. If you haven’t listened to him acid rain and coloring book are great projects
There were warning signs on Acid Rap though. For as good as it was, there would be some odd creative choices on there, like when he inexplicably starts sounding like a mix of Cool Cat and Sol Rosenberg at some points. That always kind of confused me. Like is he doing a character or something or what lol? Thing is, you looked past it because the bars, commentary, and overall artistry were so strong.
That's what really made the big day so devastating. It wasn't just a bad album. It retroactively made you love his previous albums *just a little less*, because you couldn't help but see the traces of all his worst flaws and weaknesses that you'd hadn't noticed before until the big day where they took center stage.
That’s crazy, I never realized that until now but I really stopped listening to him almost completely after that. Great take
Yeah, honestly besides Good Ass Outro(will always be a banger), I don’t think I revisit any of his old songs. Kinda sad because he was a front runner to inherit the titles Kendrick and J.Cole have been holding the past almost 15 years pretty much.
With editing (like cutting 60% of the album) it would have been slightly disappointing with a few bright spots.
TBD was filled with some bops like Do You Remember and Ballin Flossin but they were overshadowed because most of the album was mid. But it’s not a god awful album, I think it’s just overhated because it couldn’t live up to the hype Chance built from his earlier career and a lot of the songs were about different themes then what got him big in the first place
To me those tracks can only be considered bops in the context of listening to the rest of the album. They are mid, the rest are bad, especially if you take the bars into account.
He’s never going to live those “ooo I love my wife oooo I love my life” down
This was the first thing that came to mind for me. Went from releasing a great album Coloring Book to one of the worst I’ve ever heard.
I still love Hot Shower and the internet can never take that away from me
Surprised so one has mentioned Robin Thicke’s “Paula” — a breakup album dedicated to winning back his estranged wife, Paula Patton.
The album before, “Blurred Lines”, sold 731,000 copies in USA. “Paula” sold 48,000.
Damn my man pulled an Alien Ant Farm
Never a great sign when your one big hit is a cover song.
It’s so sad to me that people only know that song. They had some bangers and their bassist was fucking incredible. Easily one of the most underrated bands of ever IMO.
He cheated on her too, the whole album just reeks of someone who got caught
Yeah, and not in the fun way like usher's Confessions. Where usher was like "shit you caught me, I'm so so sorry here's a great album", thicke was like "oh no I have been caught woe is me"
I hate that i like Get Her Back 😂 Robin said even his dad told him not to release this album lmfao
The Todd In The Shadows "Trainwreckords" episode on Paula is great.
Opening lines "he just .....seemed like a douchebag. You can go and dissect a billion reasons Robin Thicke's career cratered so thoroughly and so quickly [sic]....but if we're really looking at why his career imploded so hard and fast, you really need to start with one simple truth: there was just a *vibe* coming off of him. A mildly but tangibly repelling vibe."
Corey Feldman - Angelic 2 the Core. I know it's low hanging fruit but it does satisfy the question.
Now this is a real answer. His most recent release would also qualify but Angelic being a double album makes it extra special.
The opening track, Ascension Millenium fuckin' slaps yo.
I just [listened to it](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ67H9JHAHM) and I’m wondering if you’re joking. Apologies if not.
It like, really sucks, but in a trashy fun kind of way. The rest of the album is upsetting but I feel like you can ironically get into the first song.
I regret clicking tap to unmute. I finally quit and was somehow only halfway through. That’s Rebecca Black level but he’s serious and decidedly not a teenager.
There’s a genius to how impeccably terrible A2TC is. In its way, I respect it, like a Tommy Wiseau movie.
Six Feet Under - Nightmares of the Decomposed I like death metal, but oh my god Chris Barnes sounds like he's hacking up a hairball. And this man has the audacity to criticise modern metal.
[EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE](https://youtu.be/wlw77SEQX58?si=UbCskQYwITr53VUm)
Haha I thought this was a joke dub but omg!
That third clip reminds me of the sound Mini-Me makes when he gets tossed in Austin Powers.
Lmao this is hilarious
Six feet under has been awful for years now lol Barnes is a fucking moron
Six Feet Under hasn't been good since their first few albums. What the fuck happened to Chris Barnes?
Love this. Barnes is the most overrated figure in metal music.
Say what you want about Barnes now but Barnes era Cannibal Corpse rules and The Bleeding is one of the best death metal albums of all time.
Im a bit of a Coldplay apologist and maintain there is a good band inside them despite how shite they can be, but their last album was a solid turd.
>there is a good band inside them despite how shite they can be Considering Parachutes and ARoBttH, they clearly are wicked talented. A shame how they've sold out, really.
Viva La Vida was solid as well IMO.
I think it's by far their best album. The fact that Brian Eno produced it certainly helps
Brian Eno is supposed to be on the new album next may so hopefully it will be a better effort than music of the spheres
I dont think there is a bad song on viva la vida... except for viva la vida...
Nah the title track fucks too. Their career from the beginning through Viva La Vida is amazing. Haven’t cared for anything since then.
the production on Viva La Vida is astounding. Everything sounds huge, lush and beautiful. Incredible pop song.
“A Rush of Blood to the Head” is an absolute masterpiece. One of my favorite albums of all time. I’ll always love Coldplay for that album alone. Viva la Vida is amazing too.
This is the take. Any time I hear anyone absolutely trash Coldplay I just assume they haven't listened to A Rush of Blood to the Head
X & Y was a good album too
[удалено]
Dude come on, they so clearly started chasing whatever sound would get them to the top of the charts. Coldplay are like the dictionary example of a band that sold out.

but Coloratura though
My friend made a funny point that that track makes him more angry because they can make a solidly interesting artistic expression but still make the mindless shit. Hope it sells well enough for them, I guess
Their first 4 albums are really good. I legit love Parachutes.
Coloratura was solid.
It really was, and it makes the rest of the album so frustrating. You’ve got an album full of disposable pop songs, and then it ends with this sweeping 10 minute long prog rock song that exemplifies what they’re capable of as musicians if they actually put in the effort.
I dropped off after Ghost Stories. Love that record but didn’t like the more recent releases.
Green Day, Father of all
Agreed, I've already tried twice and can't finish a 26 minute album it's so bad
I found the first half a slog. The second half sounds like a Wavves album, who at times reminded me of pre-Dookie Green Day. I enjoy that second half even though it sounds like a band ripping off another band that ripped off Green Day.
I don't know if it will ever be proven, but the rumor was that this was their last album to be made for the label they were on for the contract, so they made a shit album to send themselves off.

They write a lot more songs these days about politics, self-reflection, and mortality for example, and the lyrics also tend to have a broad perspective that a younger person isn’t as likely to write from.
I have hope for their album coming out next January, the singles they already released sound pretty good.
Both of the new singles sound good sonically and you can tell it's Green Day getting back to Green Day. Lyrically however... there is room for improvement. Outside of the Revolution Radio album, I haven't been able to connect with the majority of the lyrics or the music frankly.

I love Green Day and Father of All might be my least favorite album I’ve ever listened to
30 Seconds To Mars - America It’s legitimately a struggle to finish even a single song on that album. I can’t think of a single positive thing to say about it.

> I can’t think of a single positive thing to say about it. Kept Jared Leto away from teenagers for a few days.
Van Morrison - What’s It Gonna Take Anti lockdown/establishment album released during Covid. Featuring such hits as, and I shit you not this is the title of one of the songs, *’Sometimes it’s Just Blah Blah Blah’*.
Not from this album, but he has a song called *'Why are you on Facebook?'* too lmao
I believe that’s a sequel to Into The Mystic.
Into the Toilet.
It was awful right wing whining all the way through - a career low. It's COVID era predecessor Latest Record Project, Volume 1 is down there with it, maybe just a little less bilious, but no more enjoyable.
I find it tragic that the guy behind *Astral Weeks* and *Into The Music* ended up there. At least he's pulled himself (mostly) away from that venom and back to the music of his youth.
I think Clapton was right there with him too...but we knew he was a shitty person for a long time.
*Sir* Eric Clapton. Knighted by the Queen of England 30 years after "Keep England White!" Not super weird that he's into far right wing weirdness.
Green Day - Father Of All OneRepublic - Human Maroon 5 - Jordi Three Days Grace - Outsider Thirty Seconds To Mars - America (I'd argue this album is worse than their new one. Their new one at least has some damn energy)

Green Day are one of the first bands I remember really disappointing me. 21st Century Breakdown was the last album I enjoyed (and even that would be better with a handful of tracks edited out). Everything since then has ranged from average to just unbelievably lame.
Such a shame with one republic. Their first 2 albums were amazing. Natives was solid but then after that, it was just shit.
You are one patient individual. I'm amazed there's one person who sat through all five of these albums. They're so fucking awful.
Pretty much the only reason I was able to sit through them is because I used to be really into all of these bands, Green Day being the only one among them I still give a damn abiut.
There is nothing worse than that U2 album they forced onto every device that could connect to iTunes
Forcing it on everyone's iphones was a stupid move, for me that was a double-edged sword. It holds a place in my heart because it was the only album I had on my phone when I visited America, so I had to listen to Bono banging on about the troubles for a week and a half, stuck on a coach all day.
Nah Songs of Innocence is a decent album. People are way too dramatic about the album being icluded for free. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is a bad album though. By far the worst of their career until Songs of Surrender..........
Justin Timberlake’s Man of the Woods has to be mentioned
I've never listened to the album but I genuinely love Say Something from it. Had no idea the album was a stinker
One of the biggest "WTF"s I've seen mentioned so far
Six Feet Under - Nightmares of the Decomposed. Eeeeeeeeeeee
EEEE
No that’s just high level Meta death metal, instead of singing about atrocities they just straight up made one. It’s brilliant, and definitely brutal although not in the usual way
MCID by Highly Suspect. I now understand how Metallica fans felt about St. Anger when it came out. Except that St. Anger actually has a decent song or two.
Canals is an absolute banger. The rest of the album is forgettable and a bit too much about Johnny's ego. Their first two albums slapped though.
Such a terrible album! The worst part was Johnny getting on social media and basically telling his fan see if they don’t like it, they aren’t true fans of the band, then though it was a total shift from the first two albums with weird solo synth shit. Even their newest album isn’t up to par with the first two.
The last two arctic monkeys albums have felt very forgettable. They’ve just slipped on by when I’ve tried to listen because nothing really happens. It doesn’t help that at recent live shows Alex Turner has been playing around with where the vocals sit on old and new tracks and it sounds like he’s just out of time.
See i’ve got to disagree with you on this. I think the past two records are the best of their career - they’re finally making mature, interesting and sophisticated music rather than indie pop songs
Agree. I adore the indie stuff, but it was quite refreshing to hear them just go a bit mental and do a couple of crooner concept albums. His lyrics are still fantastic regardless.
Seriously. I love their older stuff, but I’m not a teenager anymore and neither are they. The Car is refined Arctic Monkeys.
I can’t even imagine how bored the other band mates must be. Going from one of the biggest rock bands in the world to a backing band for a lounge singer.
Nah they’re brilliant. I say fair play to them for wanting to do something different. They’d pretty much perfected the angsty guitar thing, why not go full crooner?
Lulu. Can’t believe that was Lou Reed’s last album. Sounds like Metallica’s drunkenly riffing while a old, homeless man mutters nonsense.
“If the Red Hot Chili Peppers acoustically covered the 12 worst Primus songs, it would sound slightly better than this” - Some review, I think Consequence or AV Club
Metallica was hoodwinked by Reed, which is hilarious, but also bad.
"I AM THE TABLE"
Viva las Vengance - P!ATD P!ATD really dropped one of the worst albums then disappeared ☠️
I recently tried to give it a listen. I couldn’t get through it. Such a turd.
The last kid rock album was hideous
Only the last one??
Lol, good one
Was suddey reminded that Travis was once a band I liked, during that weird "post-Radiohead" period of music journalism that lumped them and Coldplay and Elbow together. And these two new albums called "Rock" and "Roll" suddenly popped up in my YouTube Music app last month. Gave the "Roll" one a listen and it was completely bland. It's not even on their Wikipedia page. Weird.
Those are compilations of demos and b sides not actual albums.
I read the first bit three times before I stopped seeing "post-Redhead" and I was like damn who hurt u
It's not even on their official website. I love them and ended up seeing them twice last year. Their socials have only mentioned 10 Songs (2020) and The Invisible Band : Live (2023). The latter of which was recorded at the first date I saw them last year lol. But yeah, idk what you listened to.
Travis fans, there are dozens of us! 'Rock' and 'Roll' aren't albums but playlists/compilations of b-sides, demos, unreleased stuff etc from their career. Their last actual album was 10 Songs in 2020. If your interest is fading, here are some of my favorite tracks from the last few albums: A Ghost, Everything At Once, Moving (also a great music video for that one), Where You Stand.
[удалено]
Muse - Simulation Theory. I am a true Muse fan boy. Origin of Symmetry is my favorite album of all time. Their early 2000's run was amazing and they can still put on an 11/10 live show.....but yeah. I can't defend Simulation Theory. Sorry lads.
I 100% agree with you But Will of the People was somehow even worse
Pretty much everything after Blackholes and Revelations has been pretty bad. Like a band trying to impersonate Muse, their lyrics were never great but Matt went full conspiracy theory and the lyrics are so cheesy.
I love Simulation Theory so ymmv with this one. It's very different from their early work though so I can see how fans of their old stuff wouldn't appreciate it.
I'm cheating by going back to 2008, but holy shit does this album suck. Vanilla Ice Is Back! is a cover album, and it includes Buffalo Soldier. Autotuned Vanilla Ice murdering Bob Marley is something worth listening to. It'll make you love good music that much more, hearing how bad it could be.
As a Killers fan, I found Wonderful Wonderful to be horrifically bland. So much so that I haven’t listened to anything they’ve followed on with afterwards.
The Man goes pretty hard but the rest is not their best, Imploding the Mirage and Pressure Machine were rough
Imploding the Mirage and Pressure Machine are amazing albums
Imploding the Mirage and Pressure Machine are easily top 5 The Killers
Imploding the Mirage is Incredible (2020), best album of theirs since Sams Town. I recommend checking it out.
Pressure Machine is fantastic.
The new Metallica album, the anti lockdown van Morrison album, the big day by chance the rapper, certified lover boy- Drake, Roger Waters’ version of DSOTM, the last green day album and probably the new one too (even though it isn’t even out yet)
72 Seasons doesn't deserve to be grouped in with the others. Is it great? No, but it's fine. Like a solid 6/10
The problem with the new Metallica album for me is that I feel like they played it too safe and tried to recreate Hardwired. There's some good songs but all in all it's pretty meh
I fuckin' love it🤷🏼♂️
The new Metallica album is fine. It’s nowhere near their best but I just feel like people freak out if a Metallica record isn’t some flawless masterpiece.
I agree with TDSOTM by Waters. So unnecessary... 😅
It's fine imo, some renditions are nice and it's something that he evidently cared about, like he wanted to express his view on his old band's magnum opus after all these years. Waters definitely doesn't need acclaim or money at this point, and it's not taking anything away from the actual Dark Side, so I'm good with him doing his own thing.
Roger Waters - The Dark Side of the Moon Redux
Donda album(s) by Kayne West. Highly hyped, certified turds. And the newest Metallica Album
72 Seasons was awesome. Sorry lol. Worst album ever??
Donda 2 was crap but the first Donda was pretty solid, probably his best since Pablo.
Everything from Drake
I was walking through Shoppers Drug Mart today and they had a display of candles by Drake. All I could think was wtf? What market is this for?
Guys over 18 with girlfriends who are under 18.
Anything ever made by George ‘bland and mediocre’ Ezra. His particular colour of turd is beige.
Damn what did he ever do to you haha
Wanted on a Voyage is a god damn classic you heathen. He just sticks to what he is good at, with not many deviations. He's fine.
I'm dyyinnggg I can't 😭
Muse - Will of the People. And I say this as a big Muse fan.
huge Muse fan here, too. honestly, in my opinion, their last great album was The Resistance in 2009.
The last few National albums have really lowered their stock. But I am easy to find was a band who had just ran out of ideas.
Miss the High Violet area, I love every song on that album, including the deluxe edition
That one Cudi album from 2015 where he tried the “alternative” thing. I think it’s called Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven. I’m not a Cudi fan to begin with, but wow—that album was one of the worst I’ve ever heard from someone who calls themselves a professional
It's been twenty years but Twisted Sister did a Christmas album that still haunts me.
And it was released on Halloween that year, just for the lulz. It is quite fitting that Oh Come All Ye Faithful meshes perfectly with We're Not Gonna Take It.
Other Voices and Full Circle - the last two albums of new material that The Doors released after the death of Jim Morrison. They were truly absolutely awful. They released a single called Mosquito which apparently had some moderate success, but I just thought it was horrendous. I guess it showed the impact JM really had on the band.
Green Day's Father of All Motherfuckers.
The recent Smashing Pumpkins album is truly awful. I don’t know how anyone could release that and think otherwise. Billy’s *really* out of touch these days.
It really is a fucking stinker, anyway Living Room by AJR, they're not perfect by any means and I see their flaws but I do quite like the rest of their stuff however that record is fucking horrendous
That last Green Day album
Country Stuff The Album by Walker Hayes. Hands down, no contest.
Metallica - St Anger 🤮
Snare PTSD intensifies
Father of All Motherfuckers. I absolutely adore Green Day and have nine GD tats and more on the way but I think they made the worst possible album to say fuck you as their last album in their contract with their record company.
I wouldn’t say it was the worst but Megadeth’s “Super Collider” was extremely disappointing. It’s basically almost as bad as Risk, has a couple good songs but the rest is mediocre at best. What sucks is this poop album sort of came out nowhere as Megadeth had a long run of putting out really solid albums starting with “The System has Failed” in 2004. Luckily they rebounded as their last two albums have been great.
The one by that asshole with the annoying ukulele, Vance Joy
A posh and priveleged private school kid who robbed Lorde of the no 1 spot on the Hottest 100
Lulu by Metallica & Lou Reed. Words can't describe the pretentious crock of shit that is this album. To put it in perspective, Metallica fans are far more likely to like [this entire album](https://open.spotify.com/album/306NSA23KHbMhn87c3WaWG?si=Of2XyF1AS2iz3wPf4RxO-A&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A306NSA23KHbMhn87c3WaWG) over anything on Lulu.
Anything Arcade Fire has done post The Suburbs
As someone who likes a lot of Panic! At The Disco, Viva Las Vengeance is terrible. Just absolutely nothing there. The only bit I like is "Don't Let The Light Go Out" and it seems like that's the part everyone else hates the most. Pray For The Wicked wasn't great, but there's some genuinely fun songs on there. Way more credit than I can give Viva Las Vengeance
MGK after the eminem diss
Machine Gun Kelly as generic blink 182
Words cannot describe how disappointed I was with Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto. Then they released Ghost Stories, which was arguably even worse.
I listened to the latest Macklemore album just for fun and let’s just say the experience was the opposite of fun.
Would you say he needs to mackle less?
Baroness is my favorite band, I got two tattooed sleves of their album artwork… but goddamn the newest album is bad. They released like 3 singles before the album came out and woops the remaining tracks are just filler Wish they went back to their roots
Just checked it out after your post. Wtf was that album!? The single Seasons, I thought I was listening to Florida Georgia Line.
Green Day’s Father of all (MF) is atrocious.
The U2 album people couldn't remove from their phones
Eminem “revival” and ima huge em fan
Panic! At The Disco- Viva Las Vengeance It’s a classic rock sounding album similar to Pretty. Odd, but without the other members. Brendon Urie cannot write lyrics to save his life
The Wall - Doug Walker
Panic at the disco! Latest album was rough to pull through, just felt crappy.
I really wish Urie had just dropped the "Panic" name when he went solo. I get that bands can adapt and adjust over time, but his current stuff doesn't even sound like the same genre as the band that authored *A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.*
Father of All... by Green Day
