List and discuss REALLY BAD Albums By A Legendary Classic Band.... Metal Edition

what was that Cryptopsy album that had long time fans jumping off bridges?

the unspoken king, which i've listened to but can't remember a thing about other than it was a complete dive into metalcore

ayo sound of white noise is fucking awesome

Chinese Democracy has maybe 2 slightly listenable songs.

Which two? Are they bonus tracks only on your copy?

I said SLIGHTLY

Better & Street Of Dreams, iirc

sound of white noise is the only anthrax album i like!

i cant remember any songs from chinese democracy. That is not a good sign.

I had to look them up

I SWEAR

The Bush-Anthrax We've Come For You All is pretty good too

I dare anyone to defend Daudi Baldrs.

noone's mentioned Loutallica

beyond mention? idk

i think i tried to make myself like this album. i think i even managed to say nice things about it in a review. but prison does strange things to a man...

^^ oh, that wasn't such a bad album. probably still a thousand times worse than "the storm of the light's bane", which is y'know incredible, but what can you do?

yeah i didn't hate it. but i never play it. i was trying to think of recent things...i don't hate too many things. or i don't listen to things that i think i'll hate.

there must be something you hate by a band you love

more than anything i'll end up hating the production of metal from the last ten years. in the red wall of screeeee that makes me want to rip my ears off. and definitely make me never want to play the album again. which is sad. there is nothing i hate more about modern music than not being able to turn a cd up LOUD without massive distortion. and not the good kind of distortion. whoever "remastered" reign in blood and south of heaven should be shot and then hanged and then boiled and then thrown out a window and then run over with a truck and then thrown in the dump and then picked apart by birds and then the regurgitated bird pieces should be put in a blender and made into smoothies and then drunk by the record label execs who let those CDs be put out and bought by the public.

i feel the same with that drum trigger typewriter-core nonsense

also scott has been watching too much Itchy & Scratchy

but a band i LOVE. a metal band? i was kinda disappointed by point of entry when it came out. i dunno, i'm kinda picky about what i buy. most of the bands i like never put out anything that bad. i never listened to anthrax past among the living. i usually wasn't around for the inevitable decline of most bands. its not like i was gonna keep buying overkill and exodus albums my entire life.

i think it happened with me more with punk/hardcore. still kinda can't forgive 7 seconds for new wind. anyone ever hear the kevin seconds band Acid? grunge band. oh man so terrible. t.s.o.l. they did it. discharge. though i would probably dig discharge metal more now than i did then. youth brigade when they changed their name to brigade. oof, that is tough stuff to listen to.

i was the punk fan in the 80's who had NO problem whatsover with the metal moves. i applauded. for the most part. but some bands should have just broken up. those channel 3 records where they play like bad hard rock. what the hell were those things. airborne! what a terrible record.

i really like the last Blitz album though. controversial opinion! its sounds like the cult. and sometimes like the jesus & mary chain or some other goth band. came out in 1989. its for goth skinheads. there must be a couple.

scott otm re youth brigade vs brigade. really, really bad.

did any punk bands go the hair metal or aor route?
i dont mean that Jean Beauvoir guy who formed Crown of Thorns. I mean actually kept the same band name but made hair metal/aor?

t.s.o.l. tried.

a former member of minor threat gave it a shot.

t.s.o.l. were always kinda the odd man out anyway cuz they courted the goth/cali horror rock crowd early on.

reinkaos rules.

it never ruled for me. i'm still just trying to think of records i HATED by bands i loved. if the best i can come up with is 7 seconds...and i never actually loved 7 seconds. but i enjoyed their early work.

i did love that youth brigade album sooooooo much back whenever that came out. still one of my favorite albums of all time.

serpent saints by entombed i thought was really bad except for the title track. but how much do i expect from them at this late date anyway? not a whole helluva lot. moonspell have put out some clunkers. i like their early records a bunch. they are one of those bands constantly doing the "return to form" thing with every album. on the other hand, i really liked that sepultura Dante XXI album WAY more than i thought i would ever like a sepultura album in the 21st century. i never even thought i'd be playing a sepultura album in the 21st century.

i think whiney missed out something

i liked kid a when it came out. probably the only radiohead album i've ever played all the way through. they never did anything better than "creep" anyway. a little of that dude's voice goes a long long long way.

Dante XXI was really surprisingly good. And everyone shitting on Chinese Democracy upthread can lick the bag.

My nominee for this thread is Gorguts' Obscura. Man, I do not get that record at all. I like death metal, I like noisy free jazz, and I like prog, but when you swirl 'em all together sometimes you just get a big puddle of runny musical shit, and that's Obscura.

no way, it's cool. its ilx canon too. even the non-metal people love it. for all the reasons you stated. except for the shit part. i like all their albums a bunch.

yeah ive seen lots of ilxors go crazy over that album.

I tried to listen to it a bunch of times, 'cause people whose opinions I respected liked it a lot, but it does nothing for me.

Roots?

Bloody Roots?

Y&T Down For The Count

Two words: Summertime Girls

that last The Haunted record. I was down with everything they did up until that one. But man, it was a big pile of not care on the part of everybody.

if we're talking punk then those comeback Descendents albums break my heart

feel like Everything Sucks is p well-regarded in the core of the band's fanbase, the one after that maybe not so much

I quite like New Wind tbh. Was all ready to hate it the first time I listened to it but I don't see it as sounding a whole lot different from the album before it. Now the albums after it aren't up to much and I have never listened to any other Kevin Seconds bands. They're playing London on my birthday this year.

I thought the 3rd Blitz album was terrible but I do really like the synth-post-punk 2nd album.

I suspect I'm alone on this one but I really don't like I Against I...

you are utterly and totally alone.

but maybe i would like new wind now! who knows?

counterpoint, Cold Lake is bad.

Helloween's wilderness years are the weirdest btw

Gorefest Erase

r u sure this is the album you meant?!!!

Yeah it's a terrible record, especially the vocals, and the riffs are so lame. Listen to it back to back with False, it's tragic.
