Albums you were so excited about and then when they came out they totally blew and you got real mad

[smurfco]

Inspired by the "albums that grew on you" thread, except in this case they never grew on you. This isn't just albums you think are shitty, though - it had to be something you were looking forward to and super excited about and when it came out you were crushingly disappointed.

My least favorite Wilco record, but Bull Black Nova and One Wing are 2 of my favorite Wilco songs.

I remember all the hype about this one.....and it not being very good.

I love At War with the Mystics. Still listen to it regularly.

From a Metal perspective this release was pretty sad. One of the all-time greats goes out with a whimper...

I just played Wilco (The Album) yesterday. For me it goes in the "albums I had to warm up to" category but now I like it a lot.

And yeah, One Wing and Bull Black Nova are two great songs.

Everything Aerosmith has released since 1980...

I'm the only person that I know for sure still likes that album.

Bull Black Nova is my 12 year old's favorite Wilco song.

Far too many to list. But this comes to mind.

 

[Devil is Dill]

Featuring Jon Bon Jovi.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Yeah, Eric is still an amazing player, but AVM was lightening in a bottle. I think Alien Love Child and Tones are his next best albums (in that order). Venus Isle was just so flat.

I'm a huge DMB fan, but this album was shite. It made their other bad album, Everyday, seem great by comparison.

I disliked it so much, I never even listened to the next one.

I disliked it so much, I never even listened to the next one.

I got used to Achtung Baby as most did, but I was cautious enough to wait until some singles came out to see if I would be interested for the next one. Therefore I never listened to that one at all.

I went to the store at the special midnight release for Achtung forchristsake.
