Crazy Diamond Posted 2 August, 2011 Posted 2 August, 2011 As the title says. Paul Weller - Wake up the Nation. I was already starting to grow out of him, and then this monstrosity comes along. 22 Dreams was a solid album, and then he released that load of crap. I rarely buy albums anymore owing to my taste in older music, but I was actually ashamed to spend near £10 on that horse****.
Seaford Saint Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 Mighty Like a Rose Elvis Costello - its ****
hamster Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 Bat Out of Hell. 2 food tracks, 1 okay tracks. Nice inner sleeve pic.
DG Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 The Clash - Cut The Crap. Awful (although i like This Is England).
Hamilton Saint Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 Some Time in New York City by John Lennon & Yoko Ono
JackFrost Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 St Anger. You beat me to it. The Prodigy's Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned I was very disappointed with
Saint in Paradise Posted 3 August, 2011 Posted 3 August, 2011 "The Wall' by Pink Floyd, sorry all other PF fans but as an old PF fan I much prefer their earlier work. Roger is bring his tour over here, started at just "only one show" - now 4 shows due to genuine hugh demand, but I won't be going.
saint lard Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 Chinese Democracy. I was pleasantly surprised with this,quite a diverse set of tunes. For me,'the spaghetti incident' was a real let down.
Colinjb Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 Two stick out for me. Shallow Life by Lacuna Coil and Donkey by CSS. At least with the second one the clue was in the name.
jjsaint Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 Revolver by the Bealtes. I may get slated for this but I speak as I find.
St Marco Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 Stadium Arcadium by the Red hot chilli Peppers. Coming off the back of Californication and By the Way i was expecting something amazing. Maybe they will get back to form with their new album out this month!

Couple of (obvious) classics on there though.
scotty Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 The Clash - Cut The Crap. Awful (although i like This Is England). I was initially massively disappointed with Combat Rock, but it won me over when I played it a few months later on a very hot afternoon and with the volume low. Now consider it one of their best.
Jonnyboy Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 Metallica - Load Unkle - Psyence (?) Fiction Most bands do their best album as their first if you ask me - they are still hungry
saint_bert Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 Metallica - Load Unkle - Psyence (?) Fiction Most bands do their best album as their first if you ask me - they are still hungry I think if Load/Reload were 1 album, with the best songs off the 2, I think it would have been a decent album. Still nowhere as good as Death Magnetic, but a decent album imo
Jonnyboy Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 I think if Load/Reload were 1 album, with the best songs off the 2, I think it would have been a decent album. Still nowhere as good as Death Magnetic, but a decent album imo It was just the anticipation of the gap between albums and their last 5 being amazing! (a bit like the Chinese democracy hype)
saint_bert Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 It was just the anticipation of the gap between albums and their last 5 being amazing! (a bit like the Chinese democracy hype) Cant begin to tell you how dissapointed I was when I heard Chinese Democracy for the first time.
pap Posted 4 August, 2011 Posted 4 August, 2011 It was just the anticipation of the gap between albums and their last 5 being amazing! (a bit like the Chinese democracy hype) Dunno. Never fully got into the Black album. I think they sacrificed too much of themselves on that. Granted, Enter Sandman was ace - but I was a bigger fan when they were ostensibly anti-establishment and doing eight minute tracks. Up until and including ...And Justice For All, they were the complete opposite to the "first album is the best" rule. Every album was better than the last, imo. The black album was a crossroads for Metallica, a veritable stepping stone into sh*te. How does Death Magnetic compare to their earlier stuff?

Must agree, I am a massive Weller fan, but all his new stuff has recently been dump, have you heard starlite yet ?? Also pretty crappy TBH. Its a shame, as the man clearly has so much to offer, but annoyingly he is trying to reinvent himself, the b*stard.

Its a shame, as the man clearly has so much to offer, but annoyingly he is trying to reinvent himself, the b*stard. Good summerisation bessie. He has produced some of the greatest music of our generation, i just wish he'd stick to what he is good at, that raw sound, like C'mon Lets go & From the Floor boards up out of his newer stuff. Although to be fair Sunflower, Brand New Start, Above the clouds (one of my favourite songs ever), You do something to me etc are brilliant, brilliant songs. I'll always be a huge Weller fan for what he is done, not what he is doing, sadly.

His Jam stuff was excellent.

I'll always be a huge Weller fan for what he is done, not what he is doing, sadly. Exactly this, I still go to every local gig he has. And every time I am dissapointed when he plays some sort of ladeedaa crap from his newest couple of albums, Heavy Soul is and will probably be in my top 5 albums forever. Its his rawness that is Weller, from the Jam and up through his solo stuff (I'll skip over the whole Style council era)
pap Posted 5 August, 2011 Posted 5 August, 2011 I still love Kill em all As do I, and I think that might have been the second one I actually listened to. Doesn't sound as polished as some of the other stuff they did, but still brilliant - and I bet they still play Seek and Destroy at every gig. I like The Four Horsemen off that one. Creeping Death off their second album is fecking awesome live.

Along with Pantera, Metallica I would say are my favourite band. Edited 23 August, 2011 by saint_bert

Hamilton Saint Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Revolver by the Bealtes. I may get slated for this but I speak as I find. One of their best!
Golden Balls Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Whatever the second Fratellis album is called. I really liked their first one
Lord Duckhunter Posted 23 August, 2011 Posted 23 August, 2011 Double Fantasy -John and Yoko. Years I waited for a John Lennon album, then he goes and gives us a Paul McCartney one. Yoko's stuff on there is pretty good (for her), but his stuff is just middle of the road pap.
Rory Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 Recently, Battles' Gloss Drop was rather disappointing considering how incredible their debut was. John Stanier is truly a phenom on the drums, but it's clear Tyondai Braxton was the band's creative force. They've lost their edge live, too.
scott_saints Posted 24 August, 2011 Posted 24 August, 2011 Editors' last album, whatever it's called. Gone downhill since The Back Room.
ribbo Posted 25 August, 2011 Posted 25 August, 2011 any new manic street preachers album, the last few have just eroded the remaining slithers of good memories i have of them.
ribbo Posted 25 August, 2011 Posted 25 August, 2011 Editors' last album, whatever it's called. Gone downhill since The Back Room. really? I quite enjoyed it, especially for Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drools Tune!
norwaysaint Posted 25 August, 2011 Posted 25 August, 2011 The Strokes' second album and Humbug by Arctic Monkeys in recent years. To go for a controversial one, people always raved about Forever Changes by Love and how influential an album it was. The first track "Alone Again Or" was brilliant, the next was good, then it all descended into over-indulgent rubbish. It's probably the most disappointed I've been with a "classic".
Crazy Diamond Posted 27 August, 2011 Author Posted 27 August, 2011 The Strokes' second album and Humbug by Arctic Monkeys in recent years.

The first track "Alone Again Or" was brilliant, the next was good, then it all descended into over-indulgent rubbish. It's probably the most disappointed I've been with a "classic". I was disappointed the Arctic Monkeys were born, grew up, learned to play instruments, formed a group and then released anything in the first place...! "The Wall' by Pink Floyd, sorry all other PF fans but as an old PF fan I much prefer their earlier work. Roger is bring his tour over here, started at just "only one show" - now 4 shows due to genuine hugh demand, but I won't be going. Yeah it's not my favourite as I said before, and it can be hard to listen to at times. That said, when I was in college and loathing my existence as a 16 year old it was good to listen to whilst waiting for the bus. Other than Dark Side of the Moon I'm not sure I even like a whole Pink Floyd album. 'Wish You Were Here' for example has 'Have a Cigar' and 'Welcome to the Machine', neither of which I'm too keen on. I actually think 'Meddle' is their best album other than DSotM, but 'Animals' is also an underrated work of absolute genius.
scott_saints Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 really? I quite enjoyed it, especially for Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drools Tune! That one isn't bad, I'll give you that. Just think they need to go back to using guitars!

Lord Duckhunter Posted 1 September, 2011 Posted 1 September, 2011 Has anybody else had the misfortune of hearing anything by jefferson starship? Dear God, how did those poseurs ever get so far with so little Grace Slick was a decent singer and pretty fit back in her day.........

The black album was a crossroads for Metallica, a veritable stepping stone into sh*te. How does Death Magnetic compare to their earlier stuff? Yep I do not think that the albums best to worse go in any order. I was speaking to a friend of mine about Metallica, and Kill em all has a couple of good tracks on it, one of them still hold up today and normally closes their gigs. Ride the lightening is a very good album with a more good tracks on it, and then Justice for all is a fantastic album and not to far behind the greatest of their albums Master of the puppets. Then from there it went downhill slowly with the black album, and then down hill rapidly, until Death Magnetic which is up there with Justice for all imo. Pulps best Album for me was babies, but different class was up there with this. Foo Fighters best album was the colour in the shape, not the first album. OK OK this could go on and on, but some bands have many albums and then make the breakthrough, just take a look a Biffy Clyro who have been around for over a decade, but it was not until 2007/08 that their best work started coming through, and then BANG the best!!

Creeping Death off their second album is fecking awesome live. Seek and Detroy is normally what they close with to this day and is one of my favourite songs of theirs. They are still awesome live, and saw them again this year at Sonisphere. I saw them in 92 with yourself, and then not again until 2009, and have now seen them 4 times since then, they are one of the best live bands on the curcuit.
