Critically Reviled Albums That You Actually Enjoy

Now I'll ritually kill myself to restore the honor of the forum.

Pavement's "Terror Twilight", although I'm not sure if the critics hated it as much as the fans did.

I like both of those, but I don't know whether a multi-Grammy-winning album such as "IV" could count as "critically reviled". Sure, you don't need to be a critics favourite to dominate the Grammys, but the albums that do still usually aren't universally hated by critics. In the case of Toto, most of their output will also receive a fair share of praise in the kind of magazines that appeal to musicians rather than fans.

awwww juliana's pony suffered universal panning according to metacritic?

i'll jump in and campaign for that one then

Sabbath-Never Say Die

I've always loved this one. Most people seem to hate it, even the members of the band. I think it's great.

i like the first half of never say die very much,and i'm convinced the title song is one of the great lost power-pop singles. you'll find others on this board who like that one too, as of course you would with any album you can name.
