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?

I guess Carcass fans would say Swansong.
This one wouldn't.

the problem with Swansong is that the style of music totally doesn't go with the lyrics, which lost their medical encyclopedia flair and started embracing more mainstream concerns. some killer songs on there though.

I quite like Cold Lake, myself.

swansong just suffers a LOT in comparison with everything that came before it. its not terrible, its just that the albums before it were amazing.

people called heartwork a sellout at the time lol

So I just listened to Cold Lake for the first time, verdict: it's not that bad at all! For all the bile spewed about this album I was expecting it to sound like Bon Jovi or Warrant or something. People talk about it like it's hair metal, I'm guessing maybe because of some publicity photos from that time?

cold lake is definitely not bad

years ago i nearly pitched a piece ranking a bunch of metal “sellout” records and did a little research for it ahead of time. iirc the unspoken king is abominable

Cold Lake is no Look What The Cat Dragged In, but it isn’t very good either.
Morbid Angel Illud Divinum Insanus, although I guess not that many people are really bothered this late in their career.
Gorefest Erase and Napalm Death Fear Emptiness Despair were awful. I hated Venom’s Calm Before The Storm at the time, although I haven’t heard that thing ever again.
Anyone remember Helloween Pink Bubbles Go Ape and Chameleon? Nobody liked those.

Oh yeah, another real stinker: Accept Eat The Heat.
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 22:59 (five years ago) link
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.
