Kamelots Ghost Orchestra... who told Kamelot that they should go full out "symp-power-prog-metal" we all know that any subgenre with three or more prefixes can't be good, it just streaches it too far. I love Kamelot and I love cheezy symphonic metal, but I do not like Kamelot doing symphonic metal, its just plain wrong and they arn't that good at it, it all started going down hill after Epica, sad.
sorry bout that rant |
I concur!!!  (except that it's called Ghost Opera, and I LOVED Black Halo) That album was a pretty big disappointment, especially after their (IMO) masterpiece Black Halo. Half of Ghost Opera was barely half way decent and the other half just plain sucked. I sure hope their follow up is much better.

I'm not quite sure... I really don't like much of Rush's or Yes' new stuff very much, and those are my favorite bands. I guess I'd go with Vapor Trails... which barely seemed prog... if at all, but even that wasn't horrible. I guess I've been pretty fortunate regarding this topic.

I listened to the song "Motions of Desire" by Magic Pie and thought it was a pretty good. Then I bought the album online and took it for a spin. My God, some of the worst prop-pop drivel I ever heard. The single was so promising!

yep, big let-down after such good word of mouth but seriously people, there is some God awful 'prog' out there that makes much of the stuff posted here seem like Beethoven ..later Morse Code anyone?

Tales from Topographic Oceans because it wasn't nearly as great as it is made out to be but i did enjoy the last track.
Also Anderson Wakeman Bruford Howe (or whatever the order of the name was). After reading how great a comeback it was I was excited, and then immediately pissed off that I wasted 4 dollars on...it

Do Make Say Think's self titled album. I think it is possibly the worst thing I have ever heard.

I do have a habit of just buying and see what happens although progarchives is a great instrument for avoiding big mistakes. In the period I didn't have this instrument yet I made some bad errors:
Just a reason to be out there - Jester's Joke. These guys couldn't sing and played amateurishly
Dream or reality - Tea for Two. Just some poor mellow stuff.
Lark's tongues in aspic - King Crimson. Still can't believe I'm just about the only one who gave this one star. Can anyone tell me what's so great (musicwise) about this album ? Dullest music ever ! |
Larks tongue is so unique and pushes the boundary beyond symphonic rock into the unknown, a very daring album. Also consider all the 90s hard rock and metal bands that were influenced by Easy Money and LTIA II. For me this album was waaay ahead of its time just like Can's Tago Mago.

I can't say that I have been really disappointed by any album I've bought recently because I read reviews and trust the star rating system and know to avoid things like doom metal which really isn't my taste... Before being online, however, I had some disappointments, but you know what they say, one man's wine is another man's poison.
