The album that disappointed you most.

I remember my friends that were huge Metallica fans livid when Load came out. One went so far as to write them a letter about how they let everyone down. For me, two come to mind: Queensryche - Hear in the Now, I wasn't a huge fan of Promised Land, because I was into Dream Theater a lot by then, but Hear was a total piece of crap. They never came back around. Dream Theater - Falling was OK, but Scenes just didn't sit well. The songs were way too "floydian" and nothing really resonated as something catchy. They've sucked ever since then; retreading riffs from what ever band is the flavor of the month.

i'm sorry but this seems silly to me, load can be excused cuz metallica can do whatever they want. thats what has always made them good. st anger on the other hand is just not a good effort at all. load and reload have some great classic songs on them.

Iron Maiden - No Prayer for the Dying
Queensryche - Promised Land

[knucklefux]

too many to list, really.

[soundgardener75]

Marilyn Manson - The Golden Age of Grotesque

Being a MM fan since his first album, this was truly a disappointment. MM and burlesque doesn't mix, listen to Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag :facepalm:

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

Reznor and politics don't mix.

[Poundcaketoredvelvet]

The first that comes to mind is Baroness - Blue Record. The First and Second EPs and Red Album are full of amazing music. Blue is a big pile of pretentious crap IMO.

Overall, AIC - Tripod is way up there for me, too.

Really? I liked tripod ok. It's one of those albums that grew on me. It would have been hard for ANY of their albums to follow dirt, ya know?

[JerEvil]

Kiss - Music from The Elder.

 

 

Are you {censored}ing nuts??? "The Oath" is one of the best opening tracks on a KISS album EVAR! That song is heavy as all get out. I know lyrically it's kinda ghey, but there are some great songs on there. "I", "Dark Light" are some of my favs.

[Norton666]

Reinventing the steel. They really dropped the ball there.

 

 

My favorite Pantera album! I thought their albums got progressively better. Then Phil left and kept getting better while Dime and Vinnie...........well .

 

A few of my disappointments were,

 

Guns N Roses- Use Your Illusions

Motley Crue- Generation Swine

Ozzy- Anything after Ozzmosis

Skid Row- Subhuman Race

Testament- Anything after Low

Life Of Agony-Anything after River Runs Red

Megadeth- RISK

Dream Theater- Awake

Machine Head-The Blackening

BLS- 1919 Eternal

Clutch-Strange Cousins From The West

[Coopster]

Megadeth- RISK

 

This. In fact I was so disappointed, I forgot it existed.

[peavey_impact]

Subhuman Race has some epic jams on it

[Murdoch]

The Blackening? Really? To each their own, but I LOVE that cd. For that band, I really thought that Supercharger was their low point.

[stevesherbert]

Really? METALLICA gave us over a decade worth of complete {censored} before THE BLACK ALBUM, so its crappiness was hardly surprising enough to be disappointing.

 

 

fixed!

[soundgardener75]

I agree to Supercharger too, but The Blackening didn't do anything for me either. Oh well...

[The Killjoy]

god it was terrible, wasn't it? what an awful album.

[wok]

Also; Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time

lulwat?

[Ovid9]

This. In fact I was so disappointed, I forgot it existed.

 

 

It doesn't exist. Really it doesn't.

 

When I was getting into Megadeth (relatively recently, yes I know, I'm like 25 years late) a friend suggested to not bother listening to it. I figured "How bad can it be?" Really really bad.

[ComOp]

lulwat?

Yeah. I said it. Somewhere in Time sucked.

[ChristianRock]

Queensryche - Hear in the Now Frontier

What a huge load of crap.

 

Then they put out an even worse album: Q2K. IMHO, easily the worst ever album of all time.

 

Now they're kind of a bad bar cover band version of themselves...

 

Megadeth - Risk deserves mention, too. What a pile of {censored}.

[donsimon76]

I have to agree that anything after Ozzmosis for Ozzy is a bit disappointing. Ozzmosis was the last Ozzy album that I can play first to last and not get bored. Down to Earth isn't bad but not up to the standards I would expect. After that there is just like a couple songs per album worth listening to.

[Sheik_Yerbouti]

I guess maybe that's the problem. After two straight records of the start-to-end golden WIN of Facelift & Dirt, they really had nowhere to go but down.

 

Tripod was just too slow & sludgy for the most part for me, there were a couple of exceptions, but it was just kinda boring to me overall.

 

King's X has suffered the same problem in recent years. Their records have been decent, but nowhere near the quality of their earlier material. It seems like most of the best songs Dug & Ty write end up on their respective solo records these days.

[The Killjoy]

wrong thread, lulz

[Poltergeist]

Wavering Radiant by ISIS.

Completely agree.
