Members AdrianPOA Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 What album from a reputable band/artist do you love that isn't considered among their best? It can be from any genre. Share a few songs from it if you don't mind. I personally love Carcass' Swansong album. A lot of people didn't like the "death n' roll" direction of this album, and since this was their intended major label debut album (it ended up getting released on their original label after they broke up), people think of it as a sellout album. Personally, I think it was next logical step from Heartwork. The songs are direct, to the point, and catchy as {censored}. The lead playing kicks ass too.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiXwatdG30Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GRANKOR Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 One Hot Minute by RHCP springs to mind. A more rocking record than most of theirs but with some really good tracks. Inside The Torn Apart by Napalm Death too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 The later RHCP stuff, I even like the new album. Of course, I love their old stuff, but I think a lot of people over look the albums and will use any excuse to rip on them. The Autumn effects - 10 years. Love that album.

Members Cirrus Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Originally Posted by GRANKOR One Hot Minute by RHCP springs to mind. Yeah, a great album. Quite an interesting listen.

But for me the songs on this album are open and heartfelt, and I don't listen to it much because there are moments I find pretty damn emotional.REM - Up They lost their drummer before this record and most of their fans immediately after it I think. I guess I like the sound of bands that are struggling to find themselves again. Much more interesting than the 15th Pearl Jam album that still sounds quite like the first one.

Members Just Mike Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Gino Vannelli-Brother to Brother (1979!). One of my early influences and it still blows me away today. Thought it was Larry Carlton on guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
