Is REM's Monster critically reviled? Aphex Twin's Drukqs? If so, those. Otherwise the only ones I can think of with no major critical backers are Journey's Escape and Departure and Styx's Pieces of Eight. Even Jane's Addiction gets props from Jim deRogatis. I'm not sure if Metal Machine Music counts for anything. Ooh, also I like some schlock-classical that gets sneered at by the academy like Pachelbel's Canon. I know at least a couple snobs sneer at Rodrigo's "Concierto di Aranjuez" but I'm not sure what its general critical standing is. Barely any new music gets really reviled these days, does it?

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.
