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

There you have it kids, DON'T TAKE DRUGS!Julesnumber said:I remember on the way to a gig at the Borderline, on Charing Cross Road. We we're talking on the train, and the next thing I'm lamenting the producer... Was he coming to the gig?
A year earlier I'd got into Pixies, me and perhaps another CL subscriber, and some others - saw them play in summer 1988 across London, and the next year as they took over the whole scene - I was there, sort of thing...
By spring 1989, the heavily trailed second proper LP was much anticipated. First broadcast on John Peel as session tracks, I captured onto cassette and replayed ad infintum on Walkman ... slightly 6th form music weirdo but otherwise largely unnoticed. The gigs were another world. At each gig a new song was burned into our hearts.
I bleed, debaser, tame, hey ... they seemed were exclusive to cassette forever (about 6 months in reality, if that...) They were figments of a vinyl dream. Not recorded, not released. Just for personal use.
I had stolen from them from the radio, and I knew the future.
An then at the club, Gil Norton wasn't there. A mate's sister was liaising (linking?) with him. He was in London, but not at the gig. Or maybe, he was hidden from me.
You see I would've told him; Doolittle is a pile of shit. What have you done? Why this watered down, coffee table turd of an LP? How dare you temper the Pixies energy, swear ... why did you even think to get involved? Why not get Billy Joel to play some piano, you f...
Luckily he wasn't there. (It was another night I got thrown out the Borderline.)
And of course I still have my copy of Doolittle. With the 4AD cards and book thingy. Love the songs, hate the production. Bring back Albini!
And I play the other Pixies LPs to the kids.

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.SamB09 said:

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.Uboat said: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.
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.0

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.1 -
Love Ian Gillan but that is piss poor, definitely.Wheresmeticket? said:
Utterly shit.
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.0 -
Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy....all that time/drama/production costs and Axl Rose served up that rubbish.1

Some good songs on that to be fair. Better, street of dreams, there was a time.Draizetrain said:Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy....all that time/drama/production costs and Axl Rose served up that rubbish.1 -

I really like a lot of Christy Moore songs, mostly heard live but the production on his albums is generally dreadful0

Stand Strong Stand Proud - Vice Squad
I played it once and once only.0 -
Bentley Rhythm Ace. Off it recommended it. Dog shit.5

Altered Images - Pinky Blue

Without doubt U2 Joshua Tree - I listened to it once, it gave me a massive headache and I never listened to it again!3

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

Try "Lost in a Dream", but maybe wait until a sunny Spring day for it.0 -
'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.4

Very poor production, some good tracks though, imo of course!Wheresmeticket? said:
