Albums You Hate By Bands You Love

I grew up loving Queen and all they`re old and middle stuff...

i happened to comment on a Youtube vid how i didnt think much of what they did post `A Kind Of Magic` was any good.... Fkin hell, the hatred and sh!t i got back...


so my vote for this thread is `The Miracle` and `Innuendo` - terrible albums by an immortal band.:hphones:
 
I love Gimmie Shelter too; I guess I should have been more specific and said that Love In Vain and Country Honk are the tracks I don't care for.

Re: Sympathy For The Devil; I usually don't get into songs on the basis of their rhythms (which is why I don't appreciate much funk music), but I'm all for non-guitar driven songs. That track just doesn't do much for me, though I know I'm definitely in a very small minority here.
 
led zeppelin- in through the outdoor. a decline in the standarRAB set, this is the sound of a band nearing the end.

pavement- terror twilight. just really bad. the difference in creativity and quality between this and brighten the corners is quite profound

beck- midnight vultures. his attempts at the american pre hip-hop urban music style free falls into oblivion. steer clear.
 
Exactly! I like plug in and play more than I like experimental prog rock, so that's why I don't think I'd like their albums if they got more typical experimental prog rocky on me.. I assumed that's what path they'd take after listening to their S/T, so I never bothered with their other albums..
 
Overtaking The Mollusk?! :yikes: Unpossible!

12 Country Greats actually turned me off from them after Chocolate and Cheese. I moved on and didn't go back and listen to the albums that came after 12 Country Greats until about 5 years ago. Boy was I missing out (The Mollusk, White Pepper, Quebec). I'm just not a fan of country but now that I've actually heard the full album I do enjoy some of the songs, I just don't listen to it as much as others. I appreciate old country more than I did when it came out, so that helps.

I'll give La Cucaracha another try one of these days. "Your Party" is a terrible single though, I've heard it a few times on the local indie station and always wonder "why? why that song?" There are better songs on the album but they just seem like self-parodies at this point.
 
I knew there was a reason I liked it.

I enjoyed Cassadaga and hated I'm Wide Awake. Whatever. It's not like there's too much of Conor's stuff that I can listen to anyways.
 
I just don't like the vocals whatsoever. Cedric's vocals on The Drunkship Of Lanterns were some of the best I've ever heard (I'd even rank his vocal talent above Beyonce's, and that's quite a stretch) and he wasted that vocal talent by adding more vocal effects and singing very differently.
 
You are pardoned :D

It's a completely different beast to The Queen Is Dead really, you have a point in that it's an album by a band that are still trying to find their own sound but at the same time they're taking a few risks too and going out of their comfort zone, and it works so well.
I wouldn't change a thing about this album.
 
I think "Fool in the Rain" and "All of my Love" are very good songs. I agree with Carouselarabra and Hot Dog and also think "In the Evening" is very good.

The comparison to the White Album is one I've heard before and one I like. I don't think it was as much a success as the Beatles effort, but I feel their greatest failing was their inability to connect the individual songs into one amalgamation.
 
I'm a Christina Aguilera fanatic!! But honestly her last album, Bionic, didn't impress me as much as any of the others. It just wasn't her. With the exception of maybe 2-4 songs (out of almost 20) the album, to me, was complete garbage. Especially when I saw that Nicki Manaj was featured on one of the tracks. I just wanted to throw up!
