Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 self explanatory I think: 1. Dreamline Roll The Bones is a great album, and better than Hot Space. I don't need this thread in my life haha! Dreamline is great, but Bravado, Roll The Bones, Ghost Of A Chance, Heresy, Where's My Thing and arguably Face Up are all terrific songs. Bravado is in the running for my favourite Rush song ever. Sorry Segue, but it’s still sub-par at best to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Warped - One Hot Minute A truly horrible album. I’m hoping Todd In The Shadows does an episode on this album on Trainwreckords. He’s already done VH3, Mardi Gras, and Cyberpunk. OHM is the sound of a band going through the motions just to stay relevant 4 years after their last album. U2 - GoneDavid Bowie - Glass Spider I’ve only heard Scream by Chris Cornell a few times and there’s maybe two or three songs in the latter half that aren’t sellout pop garbage.

It doesn't meet his criteria though, because after that album, RHCP got Frusciante back and did Californication, By The Way, and Stadium Arcadium.

He did American Life by Madonna recently and that was not necessarily the end of commercial and critical success. Then again, he had to pick one album from her because he has his own segment on her movies, Cinemadonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) There's a lot of mostly obscure LPs that managed to squeeze out a good track or two but from big acts that should have done better these are the first three that come to mind: Since You're Gone -- Shake it Up (maybe the album is better than I remember but I just remember being really disappointed apart from Since You're Gone, which I love)Already been said but Under Pressure -- Hot Space (again, haven't listened in a long time but from what I remember it was awful apart from Under Pressure and the R. Taylor track Calling All Girls, which is not great but I liked it)Are You Experienced? -- Shout (I loved and still love Devo's Hendrix cover though I found the rest of the album totally forgettable, despite liking Devo) Edited October 24, 2019 by Rutlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) None, and not any of Rush's c.ds, and albums do, and have belong on a list of bad compact disks, and albums like their "Presto", "Roll the Bones", "Vapor Trails (Remixed)", and "Snakes & Arrows". Even their "A Farewell to Kings", hasn't been, and isn't overrated, and overhyped. Other c.ds, and albums from artists, bands, and groups that haven't released bad music are: "Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason", "Boston - Third Stage", "Dire Straits - On Every Street", "ZZ Top - Recycler", "the Cars - Shake It Up", "David Bowie - Never Let Me Down", "Bruce Springsteen - Human Touch", "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)", "Heart - Passionworks", and "Fleetwood Mac - Behind the Mask".

IbanezJem Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I don`t think anyone else was still buying DLR records in 1994, and Your Filthy Little Mouth was not a great album. I love the song Experience though. Classic Dave lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) How the hell is A momentary lapse of Reason A Bad Album??????? It lacks Roger Waters' unifying vision and lyrical ability.Despite that, On The Turning Away and Sorrow (along with learning To Fly) are also very good songs Edited October 24, 2019 by driventotheedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even like the title track and I'm Not the One? I just went through a Cars binge. Another band that really didn't release any complete stinkers IMO. I'll revisit it. I had high expectations at the time, hoping it would be a return to form after the disappointing (to me, at the time) Panorama, which I've since come to appreciate much more. Maybe I'll find Shake It Up is better with age also. p.s. already found a track I love that I'd completely forgotten, Think It Over. Like This Could Be Love also; another B. Orr song. So I'm glad take back that what I wrote about Shake It Up. Edited October 25, 2019 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFTK, Madrigal and Cinderella Man are all mediocre songs. CttH is a decent song. Cygnus X-1 is a bad song. People here frequently place it at the very top of their discography. That is mind boggling.

laughedatbytime Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) AFTK is significantly better than anything they've released since MP.
