The instrument in the beginning of Limbus 4 sounds like a Kazoo to me.

Keys to Ascension really? Are you sure you aren't getting that mixed up with Open Your Eyes which came out soon after it? Keep in mind Keys to Ascension is the one that marked a return to the traditional prog sound of Yes of the 70's. There were two of them. Both featured live tracks plus new material. If you really do mean KtA then this is the first time I ever heard anyone say it was bad.

probably "Mandalas" by Limbus 4. the woodwinds on this album are horrible. when I heard the album for the first time I almost fell off my chair laughing when the flute came in for the first time: |

A few years ago Geoff Downes started posting occasionally on Yesfans.com. Suddenly it was tough to find anyone posting anything critical about him! But yes - - I’ll be careful! Edited by patrickq - June 13 2019 at 07:46 |

Watch out now! A band member from Yes could be here posing as a prog fan.

Among my least favorite albums by any band are Yes’s Keys to Ascension and Heaven and Earth. It’s honestly hard to choose which is worse! |

Maybe The Ladder by Yes. "Homeworld" is admittedly a great song, and then the rest of the album is just utter trash.

I pretend Metallica disbanded after the '80s.

The third album, Set the World on Fire (with Mike Mangini on drums) is very good. For whatever reason, Annihilator changed to much after the third album. The writing's never been up to the standard of those. The album Criteria for a Black Widow has the line-up from the first album, minus the bass player, and isn't bad.

Excellent topic to release a bunch of prog frustrations! I had just discovered Steve Hillage, thanks to the legendary German Rockpalast, then I stumbled upon Gong Live, I noticed that Steve Hillage was featured, was very pleased with the wonderful cover art, bought it, listened to it …. it turned out to be a pretty nerveracking experience, not my cup of tea is an understatement, what a very disappointing experience. Today I call Gong Live the worst album I have ever heard, thanks for this topic, very welcoming ….

It's true, Metallica as a metal band is a spent force IMO. It was actually a good idea to do something different with Load and Reload (whether these albums were successful musically or not is a separate question). What they're doing now is completely uninteresting. It's like they've got a knob labeled "modern Metallica style" which they've just turned up to 11. The result has no dramatic contour whatsoever. It's just constant "Hey this is a Metallica song!" for the whole album.

 I am not this harsh on Annihilator, but the same could be said about other bands: for example, has Megadeth ever created something as good as Peace Sells or Rust in Piece? Has Metallica come close to their Burton days? And i could go on...

I don't doubt it, I just haven't listened to that one. I picked Metal only because it's the worst of the Annihilator albums I've heard. After the first two, what happened? Is he just phoning it in to give himself an excuse to tour?

I agree The Astonishing is quite awful, but Lulu is clearly far worse. I would submit Annihilator's Metal as another example of truly awful music

I've never heard of Vulgar Unicorn, but I enjoy Pineapple Thief a lot. I also enjoy a few things from Radio KAOS and AMLOR, worst things ever they are not if you ask me. Worst thing ever is something unlistenable (like the last two Triumvirat albums) or extremely boring (Yes - Open Your Eyes). |

in terms of "prog" anything from Vulgar Unicorn.
 (not that Pineapple Thief is any better)I'll tale KAOS over Permanent Lapse of Reason
