I felt slightly disppointed by it at first (I don't know if you were a fan prior to that album or not, but I was). It grew on me quickly, and now I love it.

I'll save all of my other discrepancies with other posts though.

I don't get disappointed often, at least without significant growth, but here are ones I could think of:

  • Both post-Morse Spock's Beard albums
  • Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez - s/t (I haven't really given it much of a shot after the first few listens)

I'm only coming from the perspective of a fan hearing a new album for the first time. If I was around or a fan when a lot of disappointing albums came out, I would have listed them too.

Van der Graaf Generator - Vital ----- Not quite so vital!  It's still good though, but disappointing for them.

Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo I've got a really stupid name IV: I like peanuts - Into the Fire...

Blah...

  • Genesis....ATTW3: Bought it 8:00 am the day of release, the first Genesis album ever printed in Perú, almost broke it at the first play, changed it brand new for an old Mountain Climbing! copy (It was that or the trash can, but thanks to God the Mountain album was excellent).
  • Yes....Tales From Topographic Oceans: Not bad, but I expected much more from this album
  • ELO....Works I: Almost 4 years of waitting for a cheesy ballad Lake side a Piano Concerto withoiut feet or head, a too long ELP side and an excellent Carl Palmer side.
  • Kansas...Vynil Confessions: Bought it without listening and made me sick.
  • Triumvirat...A La Carte: The Rat went pop.
  • STYX...Kilroy Was Here: Still felt some respect for Styx, but Mr Robotto was the drop the spilled the glass.
  • GTR...GTR: Hackett plus Howe, it had to be a masterpiece but instead

Leftoverture is the only Kansas album I can stomach.

My biggest disapointments were:

  • ELP - Works Vol. I
  • Gentle Giant - Giant for a Day
  • Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
  • Marillion - Holidays in Eden
  • The Mars Volta - Everything they ever put out
  • Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite
  • Probably many others, I am a very hard to please person.

Over the past few weeks I have seen topics reguarding Best albums, Greatest of all time, Best releases over the past couple of years, and so on.

My question is: what are some of the biggest disappointments from bands that you were really looking forward to?

Whether they be recent or from years ago.
