I don't believe that an album can ruin a discography. It's more like a series of albums which show a big change in musical direction that bothers me. The best example to me is post-Duke-era Genesis. Maybe we assume that a band should stick to OUR musical preferences to preserve a perfect discography. That being said (or written), just to add an album to the long list you've made, I'd say that the latest Blackfield album is way below my criteria for it to be an excellent album: only 1 song is, to me, worth listening on the cd.

now for the flaming - theres always someone out ther in a negative thread who loves even this lot!



 

Well, I was just waiting for someone to mention Love Beach and Big Generator.

 

Have another listen to "I'm Running" from BG and then tell me it ruins Yes' discography.


Hear hear on standing up in the face of the drubbing BG gets. For me, "Tormato" is much closer to a stinker overall. There just seems to be a pernicious anti-Rabin element on PA that I've never understood. Like he's to blame for Howe not coming back.

And further on a negative note, I'm surprised it took until page 2 to mention one of the all-time turds, Love Beach. What a disaster.

While I'm dissing albums, I can't fail to mention the ignominy of the last two Triumvirat releases. I didn't even finish listening to Russian Roulette.

And "Octave" was a horrible return for the Moodies.

Want something bad to listen to? Try Strawbs' album Hero & Heroine In Ascencia (2011)! The singing is awful! It could have been an excellent instrumental album!

Although I much prefer their `proggier' earlier albums, `The Game' is simply a fine rock album to my ears, and `Dragon Attack' is a bit of a killer!

But, for me the real issue is the front cover! Lord, it's bloody awful!!

It reminds me of a Judas Priest photo in a tour promo.
