then they got into all the slow jazzy ‘elevator music’ type shit and you’d be hard pressed to find a song you’d wanna listen to again!1 -
Soft Machine 4.
Soft Machine 1, 2 & 3 were all brilliant if very, very different albums as The Softs moved from prog rock to experimental music and then to gentle melodic jazz. 4 seemed a shift into a boring mish-mash of jazz fusion. Very disappointing.0 -

I can't say I'm disappointed because I wasn't expecting anything - a bit like Charlton these days. I'm struggling to find the will to listen to this new album again. I wish that they'd stop now because they are tarnishing their legacy.1 -
Wake Up by the Boo Rd total dross, I should have known as soon as I heard Wake Up Boo on the radio.
Their previous album Giant Steps is a masterpiece. Going to see
them play it at the Forum in T Wells in June, can’t wait.1 -
Apols, may have posted this before….
Bought a Bjork album once. Took it back to the record shop the same day. Don’t why I bought it in the first place.
Also, Lloyd Cole & the Commotions second album was dross compared to the first one. Apparently they wanted to make it sound different from the first, so used a brass section or something.
Also bought Trout Mask Replica (Captain Beefheart) because the critics loved it. Didn’t do it for me. Thought it was a bit emperor’s new clothes.0 -
There is/was a pub in South Devon called the Sea Trout which we all called the Trout Mask Replica back in the day, as you do.1

Also of interest to you all may be that one of the songs from this fantastic album was used on MOTD goal of the month for at least one season:https://youtu.be/onlj1LrOXic
You have to go to 3:05 to hear the bit they looped for MOTD1 -

I vote for Def Leppard's Adrenalize. Think it was released '92 ish.
From memory, it was their first studio album since the epic Hysteria which was released '87 (I think!) Now IMHO, Hysteria was one of the greatest rock albums ever. It STILL gets played on Spotify in the car now and the songs are still absolutely brilliant.
Apart from Let's Get Rocked, the rest is a bit naff in comparison but I think they peaked massively with Hysteria and most bands would have struggled to follow up with a better album.

"I wanna be a hulkamaniac" was a banger though.2 -

But what chance did he have after Nightfly....0 -
I love it when i feel like this by the twang. Heard "either way" and liked it, so bought the album. Pretty bad tbh.1

The first two Wire albums (Pink Flag, Chairs Missing) were classics, the third pretty decent. Then they dropped off a cliff. I didn't actually buy one of those though.
But their last two albums are a real return to form.:
Sliver/Lead is good, but Mind Hive is great, almost up there with the first two. I had tickets to see them live, until Covid intervened.0 - Sponsored links:

Agreed about Wake Up and also C’mon Kids by The Boo Radleys, although both had some decent tracks (not Wake Up Boo!).
Their output definitely dropped after Giant Steps and previous (stuff like Lazy Day, Spaniard, Finest Kiss, Kaleidoscope etc.)
I did quite like their ‘last’ album Kingsize though, but they broke up about the same time I met Martin Carr on the train when we both on the way to Liverpool v Charlton.0 -
I was really looking forward to the 2022 Midlake album 'For the sake of Bethel Woods' at the time, pre ordered, gave it a good few listens and its very meh...0

Yeah, Wake Up is bad, but then they redeemed themselves and then some with C'mon Kids!0

My answer is probably Mogwai's Mr Beast, btw. So bad it made me entirely reevaluate their standing amongst my favourite bands, and they've sort of drifted away into the 'occasionally fondly remembered dalliance of youth' category now, which isn't fair on their prior music. That one though, sheesh.
Dishonourable mentions to the third Cooper Temple Clause album (although, what did I expect lol) and the fact I bought a Biffy Clyro album at all, on the recommendation of an HMV staff member. That one got mercilessly returned a day later.0 -
Bought Marquee Moon by Television, don't know why as didn't really like the single that much, but thought the album was unlistenable.0
