Written by Author on 02.02.2008 at 02:02 I believe I had the same opinion after listening to the first song or two, but sadly the rest of the album doesn't hold up imo. I'll check it out again one of these days.

Written by Author on 02.02.2008 at 03:17 I agree. It was somewhat worse than other Kreator albums, but we all make mistakes, I like the album. I find Risk to be a huge disappointment.

Had to give my vote to Metallica. St Anger (and Load & Reload) are crap. Sonata arcticas Unia is also crap, just like Helloweens Chameleon. Two other albums that should be on that list is Edguys Superheroes and Blind guardians A twist in the myth, crap.

for these to be "disappointments" you really need to have been around at the time before they were released and anticipating their release, no? so for me the biggest disappointments I can remember were for; Strapping Young Lad's "The New Black" and Iron Maiden's "A Matter Of Life And Death" both 2006 strangely seeing as I have been buying albums for long before then as well.

Written by Baz Anderson on 02.02.2008 at 15:50 Yes, I agree with you. I can't understand how for example teenagers can judge if those albums are letdowns since they only heard them in relation to the entire discography which had already been published, so there would have been no anticipation at all. Quote: Strapping was indeed a huge letdown. It came across as something Devin did quickly so that it was released before the summer festival season. A total rushjob. And Iron Maiden well I was hoping for something better than the previous couple of albums but of course that was the same sort of anitcipation I have had with Metallica ever since after And Justice.

Most recent one that springs to mind is The Scythe by Elvenking... All fans who say that the band haven't adopted an emo sound (Listen to the vocals for gods sake!) are just kidding themselves. Awful.

I guess that Baz and Marcel has a point. In that case I'd say Dark Passion Play by Nightwish. It's a good album but it has no chance against their previous albums (except the first) and I love Tarja's voice so much and was really dissapointed with Anette since I thought they would actually pick a great singer like Turunen.

Written by Baz Anderson on 02.02.2008 at 15:50 Agreed, hence why I said Iron Maidens 'A Matter Of Life And Death' sure there were worse albums put out by bands I'd otherwise thoroughly enjoy, but that album is the only album that comes to mind that was terribly disappointing that was released in my time of being a metalhead.

Why is Unia in the list?? Unia is one of the best albums of Sonata Arctica!

I picked Come Clarity because In Flames is my favorite band because of their old style. I'm so disapointed by their new style I can't even put it into words.

i thought there ould be more votes for unia, which was my vote. i was really expecting somthing that could match they're discography so far, but man did they let me down... btw, i didn't vote for the others 'cause i'm not really into those other bands, but if it was the case, i guess i would have voted for st. anger. everyone that i know that like metallica tells me it really sucks! hehe

I have a few big letdowns. Metallica - St. Anger In Flames - Come Clarity Lamb Of God - Sacrament (I really though LoG lost a lot of their thrash edginess with this release.) Trivium - The Crusade (Yes, I loved Ascendancy. Yes, I am not afraid to admit that. This album, however, is unlistenable.)

Written by m3t4lh34d on 23.02.2008 at 09:11 I kinda thought Lamb of God lost their edge with Ashes of the Wake. I still like all their albums though, but Ashes was when they really went mainstream.

St. Anger was a really really big letdown, but the worst disappointment of my life was Metallica's Load. James & co. were my gods prior to that album, so my hopes were 500 miles high. That's a long way down. *Crash.*

Children Of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet for me, biggest letdown, 'cause reflection this album to all Children Of Bodom previous stuff, its really a downfall. I disagree that Strapping Young Lad 2006 is letdown. Their The New Black is added more epic/clean vocal elements which make them more diverse. I would agree that if someone say its not more extreme as Strapping Young Lad, but its not totally a dissappointing stuff. Sonata Arctica - Unia. I love the song Paid In Full, nice guitar and keyboard. Though other songs I havent listened much, so cant judge... Agree for Helloween - Chameleon, totally a downfall.

I can't belive so many vote for "Come clarity". It seems like many have forgot a certain earlier in flames record realised in 2004.... Yes, I'm talking about "Sountrack to your Escape". I remember that I thought that the cover art looked really gorgous, but then I put it in the cd player...Needless to say, it was not a bright suprise. Were had all the power gone? The good sense of melodies? The feeling? Nothing seemed to be right...After some years have passed, I can't say that I like it, no matter how many chances I give it. But the cover art is still gorgous, and strange enough, on of my favorite IF song is on that album("My sweet shadow") I don't think "Come clarity" is that bad. Actually, I think it's quite good actually. A step forward, without too much back tracking to earlier albums.

It's an alright cd at most. But coming from a band like In Flames I would of expected more from them

I agree with Torelli. For me, both Reroute to Remain and Soundtrack to Your Escape were major disappointments. RtR was a big letdown, and I hoped that In Flames would be back on the right track by the next album. They were not. StYE is really a horrible album in my opinion, and therefore my expectations for Come Clarity were minimal. You can imagine my surprise when I listened to it and really liked the stuff! I still think it's nothing compared to the stuff IF made in the 90's, but it's way better than the two previous albums, which makes it hard for me to see it as a letdown in any way.
