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

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

^ yeah Spinoza Ray Prozak idiots sure

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.

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.
