| Trying out bands we don't like, part 6 (final)
Okay my count was off on how many installments this would have.
DK=Duck_King, my coworker and sput user
Me = me me | | 1 |  | Slipknot
Slipknot
DK: 2.5, Wasn't in agony, but... eh.
Me: 3, Already heard this, already thought it was decent. Iowa might be better but I don't get the hype for this band | | 2 |  | Fleet Foxes
Helplessness Blues
DK: 3.5, Had a 60's throwback sound which I was not expecting. Didn't like the jazz tornado.
Me: 4, Fun indie americana album, will probably check the rest of their discog | | 3 |  | Animal Collective
Feels
DK: 2, Pretentious as hell, and I don't think they can even hear the audio so far up their own ass.
Me: 3, I liked bits of it quite a lot, but overall not really my thing | | 4 |  | Bring Me The Horizon
Sempiternal
DK: 2.5, Certainly not something I'd ever sit down and listen to, but it was inoffensive. I guess.
Me: 3, Decent deathcore-turned-radio friendly rock. | | 5 |  | Avril Lavigne
Under My Skin
DK: 2.5, Wasn't too bad. No Sk8r Boi, thank god.
Me: 2.5, I own this somewhere, probably in a forgotten dusty storage bin under my bed | | 6 |  | Audioslave
Audioslave
DK: 3.5, Still not the biggest fan of Audioslave, but I enjoyed it enough. End dragged a bit.
Me: 3.5, Enjoyed it but towards the end it was really starting to overstay it's welcome | | 7 |  | Godsmack
Faceless
DK: 2.5, I can't put my finger on why I never really liked them.
Me: 2, Tryhard tribal doucherock | | 8 |  | Cage The Elephant
Cage the Elephant
DK: 3.5, Good blues rock. The vocal quality can vary, but it never crossed the line into terrible.
Me: 3, Better than my last listen through of it, still don't think it was anything special | | 9 |  | Trapt
Someone in Control
DK: 2.5, Wholly unremarkable radio rock.
Me: 2.5, Background noise, sounds like I dialed to any generic rock station | | 10 |  | Pantera
Vulgar Display Of Power
DK: 3.5, Good album. Didn't change my opinion of Pantera, but I was entertained.
Me: 3.5, Really don't understand why this is considered their best, it was decent groove metal though. | | 11 |  | The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Question the Answers
DK: 2.5, Ska is annoying, and so were some of the songs on this album.
Me: 3, Had some good songs on it, had some bad songs on it. Very okay. | | 12 |  | Gorillaz
Demon Days
DK; 3.5, Excellently put together album.
Me: 4, Favorite Gorillaz album, funky fun fresh fantastic fart | | 13 |  | Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
Up From Below
DK: 1.5, I want to feed this band glass from an artisinal mason jar.
Me: 2, Alabama Arkansas cut my head off with a saw | | 14 |  | Ween
The Mollusk
DK: 3.5, This album was fun and goofy to listen to. Also this vvvvv
Me: 3.5, Rating might go up with consumption of the devil's cabbage | | 15 |  | Static-X
Wisconsin Death Trip
DK: 4, Liked this a lot. Took me back to blasting ogres with a grenade launcher.
Me: 3.5, Lighthearted fun, some really memorable songs and some forgettable meh ones | | 16 |  | Rob Zombie
Hellbilly Deluxe
DK: 3.5, This album was inescapable in the 90's. I preferred White Zombie, but this is still decent
Me: 3.5, my review was missing for some reason so insert a funny quip about how this album was good here | | 17 |  | Fleetwood Mac
Rumours
DK: 3.5, THE mom rock album. I still prefer Stevie Nicks' solo work, however.
Me: 4, "Rumours" has it, this was good haha hoho hehe *farts* | | 18 |  | Bad Company
Bad Company
DK: 3.5, THE dad rock album. It's well composed, but I've always felt it was a bit too mellow.
Me: 3.5, Good album, now I need to get back to paying my mortgage and reading FHM | | 19 |  | Five Finger Death Punch
War Is The Answer
DK: 2, "This is edgy, right kids?!" Nazz had me guess what the singer looked like. Nailed it.
Me: 2, Douchey edgy radio metal made for people that wear Tapout shirts | | 20 |  | Mastodon
Leviathan
DK: 2, Meh. Just kind of blended into the background. Nothing distinguished it for me.
Me: 4, Sludgy proggy goodness, still don't get ALL the hype but they are definitely good | |
Nazzadan
05.25.17 | And that's it. This was a fun project that took us a month or two to get through, thanks for reading it everyone that took the time to. We'll be back with a similar list in a few weeks when we finish listening to our new list of albums. | CalculatingInfinity
05.25.17 | That was super fun, great series :] | EphemeralEternity
05.25.17 | I'd like to clout your coworker in the temple. | NastyCrab
05.25.17 | I really enjoyed reading these. Fuck 13 hard agreed | Nazzadan
05.25.17 | Throughout the whole project we noticed a pattern that I generally skew .5 higher than him on a lot of the albums we have a different rating on. I'm more accepting or he is more critical? Or both, whooooo knooooooows... | Rik VII
05.25.17 | "Nazz had me guess what the singer looked like. Nailed it."
Golden!
Hope you'll do more of these one day, they are fun to read | SandwichBubble
05.25.17 | Series was fun to read and get angry at. Good way to find new music is with someone else. :) | Sinternet
05.25.17 | wow hating on feels way to lose any cred you had
love ya nice lists idea | dctarga
05.25.17 | Good times, thanks for doing these | Drifter
05.25.17 | I liked these as well | Nazzadan
05.25.17 | Glad this project was well received, our other one wasn't but that's probably because we called it a list of "good" bands and that's completely subjective whereas bands we don't like is a much more concrete concept. | dctarga
05.25.17 | I loved the other one too Nazz, remember, fuck the haters | DuckKing
05.26.17 | Yeah, I think I'm definitely harsher than Naz is. On the whole, our tastes usually are pretty closely aligned. | Conmaniac
05.26.17 | cant get into 2 but i might give them another shot. respect for 12 and CTE is great...first time I agree with DK more than you Nazz | Nazzadan
05.26.17 | I've heard CTE's s/t once before like 5 years ago and despised it, I think I gave it like a 1 on my original account but after listening to it again it's not nearly as bad as I thought. Still stand by my 3, though. | Conmaniac
05.26.17 | all good, it's a 4 for me but my tastes are a bit diff than yours. good on you guys for finishing this list | DoofusWainwright
05.26.17 | Impressively terrible opinions, a fun read | xxm
05.27.17 | Nice list and series. I love 15 for the reasons you stated. |
