The lowest-rated album for me is Robert Wyatt's truly dreadful "The End of an Ear" - the only album I've ever given a 1-star rating to. Even Robert Wyatt himself has publicly disowned the album as an embarrassment and he doesn't include it in his discography. Thumbs Down

You misunderstood, again. The thread is not about which album you would rate low or the lowest, but what albums are rated very low on PA.

The first album has a rating of 1.27/14 ratings. Still not that many ratings. I think people just avoided this project and the second release got just 1 star rating from one user.

The first album's cover looks familiar to me, I may have tried to give the album a listen at some point, long ago. LOL

This one has only 14 ratings... but eight reviews. Eight!! That's something that even many albums with 100 ratings do not have.

oh yeah, my bad, forgot about the reviews.

The only reason that The Wall cover album is rated so low is because Doug Walker is a guy whom everybody loves to hate at the moment, similar to how Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas was the lowest rated film on IMDB for a while. I'm sure it sucks (I don't hate myself enough to waste my time on an album like that) but I'm also sure that there are many far more revolting things out there

Doug Walker's album is currently my least favorite album of all time, but I will admit that's more from personal bias. I was such a huge Channel Awesome/TGWTG fanboy growing up, so seeing their empire crumbling under such damning allegations and progressively worse videos was absolutely heartbreaking for me. And once I got to the Wall review, I was so jaded and irritated with his work at that point that I pretty much swore off Doug Walker's content forever. A few years later and that still hasn't changed; however, I do still watch former creators like Todd in the Shadows and Lindsay Ellis quite frequently.

But yeah, the Wall cover album is horrendous in my opinion, and I massively dislike all of Doug's more recent reviews (at least the ones I've vaguely seen in passing, since there are so many other channels I could be spending my time with).

Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

This probably doesn't meet the minimum number of ratings for the OPs criteria. But I just ran across this today.

1.14 | 11 ratings Let Me Know You

1982

Man, he must return to forever after making this album.

I really wonder what his thoughts are looking a this cover now. I'd like to know the story behind the pitch for the cover or if it was in fact his idea.
