 Topic: Worst Album Of The Year
Posted: October 24 2011 at 22:49 |
I'm undecided about best and there's room for maneuver there but I would say that Metallica have this category pretty tightly sewn up with Lulu. An absolute shocker and possibly the most egregious double discer of all time.
Unbelievable. Come back St Anger, all is forgiven.

For me the worst of a very good bunch this year is Magenta - Chameleon. Big dissapointment but certainly not terrible. If thats the worst it gets then I'm going to be very happy with this year.

Haven't heard the Magenta. Dramatic Turn Of Events is a truely awful album, but it's not as pull-your-own-ears-off bad as Lulu.

Hmmm. I only heard "The View" from Lulu and didn't dislike it (well, it could do without the Hetfield vocals). How does the rest of the album compare?
Didn't really hear a "bad" album this year. The least good have been Atrium's 2011 and Arnioe's Ate My Words.

These sorts of threads are never going to end well. I agree about different tastes in music, but some people just canīt resist to be utter dicks about it.

The people that can't resist being utter dicks about it are quite juvenile in that they are trying to elicit a response so that they have someone to argue with. Alernatively the person presumes to have profound thought patterns that are quite different to everyone elses. Personally I have never had music induce vomiting in me or even the will to vomit which would be indicitive of some kind of illness or derangement and I would have to seek some kind of professional help if that had to occur.
That said I know who not to take seriously here on PA because they prove their irrelevance to me here every chance that they get.

Looks like some people have sore bottoms about us discussing how poor the Dream Theater album is. The problem isn't that people exist who think ADTOE is an embarrassment. The problem is those who think such people shouldn't exist. Alternative opinions are inevitable, accept them.

Alternative opinions are fine - the vomit thing needs medical attention. For anyone to say they dislike an album like ADTOE is all good and well. To call it a poor album is moronic. To me anything with growls in it is something I dislike yet I don't call the albums concerned embarrasments or vomit inducing - why? simply because differing opinions are what makes the world go round. Common sense however..............

I don't listen to bad albums so I'd have no idea. And if you don't like what I like you are a doo doo head. Furthermore, when I hear people putting down stuff I don't listen to then I also know you had bad taste in music in the first place.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yes, a little bit of common sense would teach you to ignore figures of speech.

But wouldn't it be boring if every music thread here was unanimously positive? Variety I say!

To call ADTOE a poor album is moronic? Why exactly? Sounds like fanboyism to me.

I didn't even know Metallica had issued a new album....seriously...I didn't.
I like pretty much everything that has been issued in 2011......but I am sure I have not heard all of it 
And yes this thread will only lead to bad bathroom humor

We are definitely keeping an eye on this thread and flaming will lead to locking.
