So Called "bad" Albums I Enjoy
|
I was thinking of a title that could attract people but failed miserably. This is a list of albums that are often disliked, albums people find disappointing or bad but nevertheless albums I enjoy. I will also list albums I think are low rated or underappreciated, albums I think deserve(d) a better fate.

Work in progress, but that's what I got for now. I started this list in the morning, worked for a couple of hours, wrote comments for each album and when i was close to finish, my google chrome collapsed. I wonder if I remembered all the albums from the morning, I also added a few I did not think earlier.

I don't even enjoy most of these bands' good albums 🤷♂️ Interesting concept for a list though. Makes me wonder which albums meet the mark for me.

Nice subject for a list! So many of these I havn't heard for a long time but these are some that stands out: Pink Pubble Go Ape and Chameleon are both nice records, even if Chameleon has some serious low points. I will probably be beheaded for this but I prefer both these records to Keepers of the Seven Keys II. When Dream And Day Unite, Destiny and Test For Echo are also good records with some really strong tracks. Fight for the Rock, I Hear Black and Seventh Star are maybe not any favourites but still have their merits. Point of Entry, Tribe, Re-load are the only that sticks out for now as a bad record. Multiples Of Black is also a weak record but that's mainly because it's terrible production.

Written by majormalfunction on 19.11.2020 at 10:35 Point of Entry is not great, but it's a good album, I'd lie if i said i dislike it.  I've always liked Tribe. Even Chris DeGarmo arranged a few things here and there on the album. The only listenable thing QR did in the 2000s. I was thinking to make a list of bad albums, most of 2000s QR albums would be there, except Tribe. As for Re-Load, I like it. I don't need to listen to the big hits, there's the skip button for that (and Fuel is a good song). Where the Wild Things Are is great, Newsted co-wrote that one, Fixxer is a great one too. It aged well for me, unlike Load that I can't stand half of it these days.

Written by Bad English on 19.11.2020 at 17:54 On Dream Theater's debut album, you can hear Fates Warning, Rush and Queensryche/US Power oozing out. Also, Dominici does a good job on vocals, very US Power like. I imagine if there was a DT album for you, it's their debut.

Written by Robdog on 01.12.2020 at 14:50 no, far from it. I was thinking to do a list of albums I find bad, disappointing or awful. I might do it, some albums there will be obvious, some won't. Thanks for checking my list and posting here.

Savatage - Fight For The Rock : The album as a whole is pretty weak, but some songs are nice. It's still Savatage with their great sound and efficient riffs Black Sabbath - Seventh Star : This one is kinda average hard rock tunes, but it's not a bad album. Most of the songs are cool Judas Priest - Point Of Entry : I really like this one. The lyrics are cheesy, but there's a couple of hits, and a very strong groove / blues vibe throughout the album. The production is good too, and I like this era of Halford, when he goofes around a lot.

Written by Ansercanagicus on 01.12.2020 at 18:54 thanks for checking my list. I agree with what you say here. I initially wanted to have Judas Priest - Turbo in the list but on MS Point of Entry is just a little bit rated lower, to my surprise. I like Glenn Hughes singing a lot, his performance is great on Seventh Star. His other two collaborations with Tony Iommi are great, too.

Your list gave me an idea for my own list. I think it's going to be a 'So Called Meh Albums I Love' list. Hope you don't mind me stealing your idea because I'm doing it anyway. Stay heavy!

I agree with Point of Entry. (I actually love all Judas Priest albums - they simply can't do anything wrong for me  - even for other "bad" albums like Ram it Down or Redeemer of Souls)On a different note, I just listened to Testament's First Strike Still Deadly and I loved it even though it gets pretty harsh reviews (for example on Metal Archives it has an average of 56%). Maybe it's because they just re-recorded old songs, but I found they did it very well. What do you think of that album?

Written by F3ynman on 13.07.2021 at 13:24 It's a fine album, I like it, I didn't know it had a bad reputation (and I don't use Metal Archives).

Great list man! I couldn't agree more with the Helloween albums, I enjoy both Chameleon and Pink Bubbles. Also, Never Say Die! is an amazing album I didnt actually know it was hated lol (edit: well maybe not hated but disliked?)

Written by Guib on 23.07.2023 at 01:05 It's got a rating of.6.7 on MS. I think it's an album that deserves better. Not much better ratings elsewhere.
