| | disappointing albums | | 1 |  | Weezer
Pinkerton
praised by many, i can't share the feelings for this band in general. why? the most titles sound like radio friendly pop-rock, and that's it. just nothing special in it. catchiness OK, lyrics...average, music...heard one to many times. not a horrendous effort, but nothing special either, i fear. | | 2 |  | Silverstein
I Am Alive In Everything I Touch
Silverstein had made a couple of bad/average albums before, but "This is how the wind shifts" changed my view of this band, that they were able to make another good album was one too many expectation. | | 3 |  | Fugazi
Repeater | | 4 |  | Guided by Voices
Let's Go Eat The Factory
fuel is out, tank is empty. always quit when it's at the best, before it get's worse. i mean they (he) is still full of ideas but they aren't on par with the older ones, anymore. | | 5 |  | Manchester Orchestra
Mean Everything to Nothing
also a huge let down from what the critics said about this. a few good songs but rest is average to me. | | 6 |  | The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave
i hate the vocals, i hate the banjo sound, might be catchy but after all it's a bad try to sound like Bob Dylan.
creativity is there but the outfit isn't great. | | 7 |  | Bon Iver
Bon Iver, Bon Iver
might sound good to some, didn't sound good to me. bright soundscapes, bright, soft vocals, nothing really appealing. | |

10.01.15 | Why is 3 here | MyNameIsPencil
10.01.15 | I have to disagree on 1 so hard. Did a lot of the songs have at least some radio potential, sort of. But the lyrics are actually brutally personal and a lot of Pinkerton's charm is the fact that Rivers loudly spills his guts for the world to hear, and a lot of what he has to say isn't pleasant, shit it's almost a coherent mess | dtsanchez
10.01.15 | "a bad try to sound like Bob Dylan..."
"creativity is there..."
he is obviously having his own ideas but it's like he's building his songs in schema's that are "inspired" by Bob Dylan
"Why is 3 here"
because it's (by far) the worst album by a good band. | BMDrummer
10.01.15 | by far is quite a stretch, steady diet and 13 songs sound very similar | ArsMoriendi
10.01.15 | Hmmm OP dislikes 1 for different reasons than I do.
Interesting. | YetAnotherBrick
10.01.15 | 1 is a masterpiece. maybe it'd be radio friendly without all the extra jamming, the extra noise, and the purposely dense production... also, in regards to 6, have you heard The Wild Hunt? | dtsanchez
10.01.15 | "1 is a masterpiece. maybe it'd be radio friendly without all the extra jamming, the extra noise, and the purposely dense production..."
i should have written in the title that it's a subjective view. i me myself cant understand why it would be a "masterpiece" in any possible way.
there are many catchy albums that have better lyrics and music..
maybe it's just that i don't like Weezer..
"also, in regards to 6, have you heard The Wild Hunt?"
yes, i have. it's not as bad as "Shallow Grave" and that is why it isn't there. doesn't mean it is good either ;) | dtsanchez
10.01.15 | a quote function would be nice too btw... | MeatSalad
10.01.15 | 5 is a grower but it definitely has some weak shit | Sinternet
10.01.15 | Agree with 4 but rest is gold. | skeames1214
10.01.15 | 'but nothing special either, i fear'
why do half the people on here write like a fucking civil war soldier | skeames1214
10.01.15 | dearest merideth,
no news from the front today, we continue to march ceaselessly towards enemy lines. i fear every day for my safety, and that i should return home to your warm bosom and the glowing face of our first born. also, the new deafheaven leaked.
with love,

FTFY | Alastor
10.01.15 | imo most ppl here write in fanciless acronyms tbh | BeyondCosby
10.01.15 | I agree with #2. I may just have to give it another listen but I felt like it was just another Silverstein album. I always expect them to write new songs and I'm greeted with reused vocal progressions and predictable riffs. | dtsanchez

im not american and have no idea how people spoke in the civil war | SharkTooth

I almost burst out laughing | skeames1214
