"Great" Albums that You Can't Stomach

Yup, it's called a MUTE BUTTON.
I've been to many countries and have eaten a lot of stuff, but I only get diarrhea with the Beatles.

[/QUOTE] I kind of dropped off Muse after Black Holes. They've become too Electro-pop and shouldn't have gone "Queen' with their nest two.
To me, Abso is their best by far, because of the addition of the piano, and in some ways, I'm happy that they didn't reproduce that since, making Lution a unique album in their discography.
I will give OOS another try ASAP, though.

I saw a full show broadcast a couple years ago, and they beome something I don't like, though I must hand it to them that they are awesome and what and how they do it. [/QUOTE]

Muse pretty much passed me by at the time, but a couple of years ago I listened to The Resistance quite a lot when I was helping to work on a cover version of Uprising. I had dismissed them as a more bombastic version of Radiohead, but taken on its own terms The Resistance is a pretty good 3rd Millennium reboot of early Queen. Origin of Symmetry is the one I return to most, and I will revisit Black Holes and Absolution sometime soon.

I initially struggled with King Crimson's Islands and also some early VDGG especially H to He and Pawn Hearts but all of those have grown on me I think. Someone mentioned Operation Mindcrime. That's a very overrated album imo. I don't hate it but I fail to see what the big deal is.

+1 for OM🤷‍♂️

I concur. A pretty sh*tty band, if you ask me.

Hi,

Not to mention that is has long been flushed away ... so the stink does not linger! ... goodness ... now we think of music as ... ohh my goodness ... I better open the windows some!

Now you all sound like you’ve had a few too many!
I think I’ll join you!!

we'd rather you'd leave it.

Yeah. That was absolutely pointless and kinda embarrassing.

Well, I'm sometimes a little hot tempered and defensive about my fave bands. xd If anybody, especially you GPF, took my cynical comments as ad hominem attacks, then you shouldn't by any means. I'm sorry.
