Worst Album of the 2007?
 
Which album this year have you heard that you absolutely hated? You wanted to chuck it out a window and smash every copy of it ever made.You cant believe it got released and question god's existence from it.

worst album= The Stooges Weirdness

what do you all think?

edit: lol, i just looked at the title

pbradley 08.03.2007 08:37 PM

Fortunately I was able to avoid that one.

val-holla-ing 08.03.2007 08:39 PM

i haven't really caught any bad albums this year.

drrrtyboots 08.03.2007 08:39 PM

Zeitgeist, hands down. Fuck these reunions! (except for burma and dinosaur. Fuck off all you dino haters, we know)

I probably have listened to a total of 5 albums that were released in 2007 this year. I haven't come across anything too horrible.

I've listened to 100s of albums released in 2007 (kind of goes with doing a radio show) and can honestly say the same thing. Which isn't to say there isn't tons of shit, but why would I spend any energy noticing that when there's so much good music to be heard?

I will agree with dazedcola that everything I've heard from the new Stooges was worse than I could have imagined they would do though. Still, that kept me from listening to the record through, because there's so much else to spend the time on.

Yep, "The Weirdness" is my pick too, in particular for the production.

k-krack 08.04.2007 01:04 AM

I've heard a bunch of albums from 2007, though not as many as I'd like... I'll catch up!
Nothing has been even "mediocre," man! I have heard nothing but great records from this year! (Luck?)

Norma J 08.04.2007 01:20 AM

I don't waste my time on shit, man.

Bicorn Halfelven 08.04.2007 01:20 AM

I suppose the new Nile record has been my biggest disappointment so far, but only because I don't think it was AS awesome as the last one... not bad by any stretch and still head and shoulders above EVERYTHING ELSE.

Amen, brother. By the way, in reference to yr avatar, I finally own a Black Flag album, Damaged, and on vinyl no less! WOO! It rules!

Sorry to hijack the thread. Back to the subject at hand!

Agreed, I think most disappointing would be more appropriate. In which case for me it would be the new Meat Puppets album.

Great. It's a fine record. I would love to own Damage on vinyl. Although I prefer other Black Flag albums.

Was it cheap? Where abouts?

ZEROpumpkins 08.04.2007 04:29 AM

Zeitgeist, and I don't even have to listen to it.
Saying Beyond is just attention seeking.

Massassinated 08.04.2007 07:36 AM

The worst I heard is probably Alcest - Souvenirs d'un autre monde.
Crappy French teenage pseudo-shoegaze with an unbearable woice.

And yes, Beyond IS boring as hell. Sad but true.

atsonicpark 08.04.2007 07:52 AM

first off, threads like this are stupid. 2007 isn't over yet. it's barely half-way over.

but to answer your question, did mars volta release anything this year? if so, that wins by default. otherwise, no, this year has been good for music. i dunno, maybe the 700th wolf eyes release this year doesn't have as good static skronk as usual, but... for the most part, everything's a-okay. I mean, you know what you're getting into with shit like the stooges and dinosaur jr and smashing pumpkins and all that lame shit anyway, so.. yeah.

Are you even a fan of Dinosaur Jr? I still don't see the problem with Beyond, it sounds just like circa Bug Dino.

Wiley, Playtime is Over.

Much hyped. In fact it proves that Grime is essentially a singles genre.

drrrtyboots 08.04.2007 11:01 AM

The dino hating comes from far and wide.

the ikara cult 08.04.2007 11:38 AM

I wish i could have the £9 i spent on the new Editors album back. I saw them on Glasto and it looked good but its badly produced and has too many similar sounding songs, although one or 2 are really good.
