worst album you've ever heard

Post Reply New Topic

Metallica are just an awful band in general. Most of their albums are scarred by production flaws (Lighting's weak guitar tone mentioned above, Justice's lack of bass). The drumming is always awful except in specific instances where a session drummer was involved. Hetfield was never a super convincing vocalist. The best thing they got going for them is Kirk's leads and occasionally solid songwriting. Other bands play their songs better than they do.

Cradle of Filth - Thornography: A low point for Suffolk's most notorious metal band. The whole album felt like Dani and co had completely regressed, and the less said about their cover of "Temptation", the better. One to avoid if your a COF fan.

Having said that, they did rebound in 2008 with the vastly superior Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder, a dark and intriguing concept album that chronicles the horrific misdeeds of infamous French nobleman Gilles De Rais.

But if you want Cradle's best era, then Principle of Evil Made Flesh, Vempire, Dusk and her Embrace, Cruelty and the Beast and Midian are their best work.

"Alvin and the Chipmunks Sing the Beatles"

CLose the thread; we found it.

The hype puts it over the top. Otherwise it's Soundtrack to Your Escape (by In Flames). It was absolute garbage.

So now people call albums that are meant to be viewed light-heartedly bad albums?

I'll debate you on this one, as it was an album that helped me out of a deep depression. What's wrong with Soundtrack to Your Escape? My Sweet Shadow was very therapeutic for me, as was Evil in a Closet and Borders and Shading.

^^^^

What's there to debate? I didn't say you had to agree with me on this one, I just stated an opinion.

The Beatles' "Help!" album is one that I don't care for too much. I think there's only one song on it that I like, and that's "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away". Other than that one, no.

Fair enough. I just fail to see all the hatred for that album; I am guessing most of it was lack of guitar solos.

I personally think In Flames's best album will always be The Jester Race, they will never replicate that album.

I dunno, man; Colony makes a good case.

Colony and Clayman were also good entries till Reroute to Remain turned up.

Seems I'm one of few that like all of In Flames's work up until A Sense of Purpose. I think all albums had their merits, but overall Colony and Clayman are my favorites, but the instrumentation is best on The Jester Race.
