I'm afraid I have to agree with you... and the recent concert we visited didn't make things better, sadly enough.


Jesus never managed to figure out the theremin either

For me, absolutely nothing. I research albums to death before I buy them.

Biggest disappointment has to be Octavarium

After hearing so much good stuff about DT i bought this and have been regretting it ever since
When the world is sick
Can't no one be well
But I dreamt we were all
beautiful and strong

Biggest Disappointments....happily there are few.....

GENESIS..."and then there were three..." -  very low point in genesis' development, though phil took the band to greater heights in later years.

DEEP PURPLE..."who do we think we are?" ...something very wrong going on here, internal conflicts show through. got to like this album later and purple got over their differences...!

SUPERTRAMP..."some things never change"... supertramp-by-numbers.

YES...  "tales from topographic oceans"  i agree with rick wakeman on this one..probably should have been mixed down to single lp.

PINK FLOYD... "the final cut" ... the final PF album for me until my faith was completely restored with "division bell".

HAWKIND..."alien 4"..alien bore if you ask me..!!

QUEEN.."hot space"..experiment by the band that went badly wrong.

Strawbs - Nomadness.

After a run of 5 (mostly) great albums, this was a real disappointment. And it didn't really get better for a long while.

Horslips - The Unfortunate Cup of Tea.

After 3 brilliant albums, this was way below par. Luckily, their next 2 were back brilliant (one a folk/traditional acoustic album and the other the amazing Book of Invasions)

Pink Floyd - The Wall

A total let down after Animals, Wish You Were Here etc.

Camel - Breathless.

Not actually bad (I still play it) but nowhere near the genius of the first 5 (but little else is either).

Genesis - And Then There Were Three.

When Hackett went, they went.

When you did some research you must also have heared much bad stuff about the album ... so why did you ignore that?

I agree with these two.  I never really made it past The Wall, which for me has about a single album's worth of great stuff on it, the rest doing very little for me.  I thought '..Lapse of Reason' was a good return to form though, after Mr Water's departure.

With Queen's Hot Space it wasn't so much disappointment, as resignation.. I think they'd signposted their direction with The Game and their choice of singles around that time.  I was mightily pleased when they returned with The Works

Yes. Fragile. Too many ideas, not too many any good. I don't like the hardrock attempt that is South Side of the Sky, as Howe's playing/tone is not hard rock. I don't like the short jumbley track. I don't like the one made of loops of Anderson, his voice os OKAY with Yes, but on its own its annoying. I don't like the riprise of this filth on the end of Heart of the Sunrise either. I don't like Cans and Brahms either. Brahms was a genious, Wakeman is a prat, I mean, 5 layers of synths to reproduce orchestral music? thats poor.

Also, ELP, I've allready said this haven't I?

That must be Sigur Ros. Lots of people told me they were/are great. So I got
the nameless album () and was quite disappointed by it. Not my kind of
music
