    Slayer - reign in blood

    I think i was about 14 and had been getting into all the hard rock stuff that was in the chsrts in the early 2000s like linkin park, limp bizkit, blink 182, sum 41 ect.

    Someone reccomended slayer to me and a couple of others so went up to hmv in the broadway bought this slayer album and it was so disappointing. When people say metal is just noise i think albums like this  have cemented that reputation 
    LOL. Slayer aren't heavy. This is heavy: 😁

    You may aswell go to a construction site it would be comparable to that!
  • Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino
  • An Prog Rock album I bought while going through my Kronenbourg 1664 stage of life.

    Utterly shit.
  • Tangerine Dream - circa 1979

    Tangerine Dream - Rubycon 1975
  • In terms of long waits for a 2nd album after an epic debut, then abject disappointment:

    Stone Roses - Second Coming
    Donald Fagan - Kamakiriad
  • An album by It’s a beautiful day.

    Heard a track on a sampler album which I really liked. But the rest was cack.

    See - that's the wrong attitude. People have different tastes. Just pointing out that what you considered 'heavy'... Really isn't that heavy. All music is just personal taste. Apart from The Beatles. They were shite. 

    AGREE.

    I had that, I liked it...
  • Relayer by Yes.
    Sacrilege!

    First album I ever bought. Still play it today almost 50 years later

    Some people whose opinion I respect wouldn’t stop going on about The War on Drugs, so I bought one of theirs. First play, very disappointed. Gave it one more try and really tried to like it, but it’s just so boring. 
    Funny enough I love them. But if there were a thread about most disappointing live gig, theirs in Prague would be mine. But to be fair their second guitarist was missing, gone down with flu. 

    Which album was it?  "Lost in a Dream" is most fans' favourite. It's funny how they divide opinion. My wife thinks they're all a bit meh and samey. And the concert didn't help!

  • Being a Mike Oldfield fan, I automatically purchased both Heavens Open and Earth Moving to keep my collection up to date. 

    Both absolute drivel with no redeeming  songs to make it worthwhile keeping. Both condemned to the charity shop collection.

    Ok so slayer are heavy and lorna shore are very heavy, just my personal opinion ;)
  • Wake Up by the Boo Radleys

    Giant Steps is one of the best albums ever how they managed that as a follow up is a complete mystery.
  • Child-In-Time-LPsjpg

    Utterly shit.
    Love Ian Gillan but that is piss poor, definitely.  

    Biggest disappointment for me was Born Again.

    I was so looking forward to Sabbath with a great lead singer but it was drenched in bass and sounded like it had been recorded under water.
  • Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy....all that time/drama/production costs and Axl Rose served up that rubbish.

    Some good songs on that to be fair. Better, street of dreams, there was a time.

  • I really like a lot of Christy Moore songs, mostly heard live but the production on his albums is generally dreadful
  • edited November 2021
    Stand Strong Stand Proud - Vice Squad
    I played it once and once only.

    Bentley Rhythm Ace. Off it recommended it. Dog shit.
    Nothing to do with me. Completely your choice.
  • Altered Images - Pinky Blue

    Bought it in a sale - truly dreadful.
  • Without doubt U2 Joshua Tree - I listened to it once, it gave me a massive headache and I never listened to it again!

    Ah, that one. It is a bit "impenetrable" as one rave review of their latest album wrote. 

    Try "Lost in a Dream", but maybe wait until a sunny Spring day for it.
  • 'Shooting at the Moon' by Kevin Ayers. He was brilliant live at the time but this album was annoying in several ways. A much shortened 'Clarence in Wonderland' without its naughty lyrics and given a psychedelic spin, was nowhere near as good as his live version. The production had too much bass imo, and an eight minute 'Pissar Dans un Violon' should never have been included. The album was redeemed by his magnificent 'May I' and his lovely folk duo with Bridget St John singing 'The Oyster and the Flying Fish' plus some great solos by Mike Oldfield, so not all bad but overall, it left me very frustrated.

    Very poor production, some good tracks though, imo of course!
