TheSpirit: albums you've lost your connection with (& why)

TheSpirit 02.09.18	These are three albums that meant a lot to me growing up, and I guess they still do in a way. The choices are cringe-worthy, but hey, give me a break, I was a teenager. What are some albums you all don't feel as hard anymore?
DinosaurJones 02.09.18	Yo, 2 is the same for me. I jammed that album so much, I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Reel Big Fish - Turn the Radio Off is a big one for me. I was a huge ska kid when I was in high school, but a lot of it just isn't the same for me anymore. There are some constants such as the RX Bandits and Streetlight Manifesto, but RBF has fallen off hard as one of my favorite bands.
SitarHero 02.09.18	Aqua - Aquarium One of the first tapes I ever bought. I'm not ashamed though. It was dumb, fun time in my life. GnR - Chinese Democracy I won the CD in a radio competition and listening to it coincided with a really bad breakup. The songs on this REALLY spoke to me during that period, but not so much anymore. I still jam the t/t and Better from time to time.
DinosaurJones 02.09.18	Better is a damn great track, honestly.
SitarHero 02.09.18	Yeah, it really is. Some of Axl's best lyrics too.
TheSonomaDude 02.09.18	Basically anything I liked when I was in middle school. in particular Limp Bizkit's Greatest Hitz was one of my essential faves in the 6th grade but now I cant get 15 seconds into any song without cringing
foxblood 02.09.18	In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - I don't really get much out of the lyrics anymore and the novelty of Jeff's voice has grown off me and it's just not as enjoyable as it once was to me. it's got a bunch of average songs by Elephant 6 standards and a single banger in Holand 1945. I still have it at a 4 tho, it's not necessarily bad. I played the vinyl a lot but ended up selling it after a few years. However, I kept the vinyl insert because it's dope as fuck https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0068/0042/products/A_50136_M-3.jpg?v=1466191343 I still like On Avery Island though, but I rarely listen to it.
Keyblade 02.09.18	"Aqua - Aquarium" this record never gets old man wtf
foxblood 02.09.18	yeah Aqua is good lol
PistolPete 02.09.18	I lost my connection with Porcupine Tree in general (but specifically the albums Deadwing and FOABP). They were good but I was very depressed and in a bad place at the time I was introduced to them and now I’m obviously not as bad. So the feeling isn’t the same.
Kalopsia 02.09.18	Metallica - definitely a stepping stone into metal when I was younger. and i love them to death (even load and reload) but for the past couple years i've had zero interest in listening to any Metallica at all.
TheSpirit 02.09.18	@Dinosaur - do you still listen to any other Sum 41? Chuck still does it for me sometimes. @Kalopsia - I very heavily considering putting Metallica on this list as well. Still love them, but I rarely listen to them anymore.
InFlamesWeThrash666 02.09.18	Slipknot's first 3 albums...Probably because i grew up lol
DinosaurJones 02.09.18	Not really at all, no. I'm not very into pop-punk anymore, which is weird, since I'm in a pop-punk band. EDIT: Though I know Chuck probably isn't really considered pop-punk... I haven't listened to it in years though, maybe I should give it a shot.
pjquinones747 02.09.18	Everything Killswitch Engage has ever written.
WretchedCacophony 02.09.18	I don't remember which albums I lost my virginity with. oh wait, wrong thread.
unclereich 02.09.18	Every album ive rated
Beautiful 02.09.18	too many to name
DominionMM1 02.09.18	probably pantera's 90s discog
rabidfish 02.09.18	The Dark Side of The Moon and The Wall (Pink Floyd, obvs) I kinda hate them both now... I still jam tPatGoD, Meddle and Animals every once in a while, those ones still rule.
DominionMM1 02.09.18	how is it even possible to hate dark side of the moon?
onionbubs 02.10.18	1 still bangs too. 2 sucks now but was my shit in middle school idk in most cases if i was really really into an album or band, they’ve still stuck around with me a little bit because they used to mean so much, and listening to them like reminds me of all the good and bad associated with that time when i was heavy into it. it’s the bands i listened to more casually that have completely lost me with time, a lot of which are classic rock bands such as led zeppelin and rush who i get zero enjoyment out of anymore
polyrhythm 02.10.18	All the 90s and 00s NME rock I used to live and breathe
Thor 02.10.18	most of Megadeth for me
bgillesp 02.10.18	I don't think this has ever happened to me honestly. I went through a phase of hating tool but it was brief. That's about it since I still hold my opinions that melodic scene Metalcore had some great moments
Sinternet 02.10.18	we came as romans used to be my fave band lol grew out of them hard (still dig the odd song from their first three albums)
hesperus 02.10.18	i used to love AJJ. then i realized Sean Bonnette really isn't all that clever or insightful
Sinternet 02.10.18	take that back you whore
bgillesp 02.10.18	I used to listen to WCAR a ton too but even though I listened to them more than other bands, I don't think I ever thought the were "great". Like I still think their early stuff was really good but I knew it wasn't the best thing ever even then. I was basically 16 or 17 before I got into music at all though so I have fewer middle school jam- cringe moments I guess.
ArsMoriendi 02.10.18	Led Zeppelin's albums a little I guess I still love their work, but I never feel like listening to them anymore
MyNameIsPencil 02.10.18	foo fighters used to be my favorite band in the whole world like 10 years ago now I only listen to some on-off songs from their first 3 albums.
Feather 02.10.18	All of AFI
Dedes 02.10.18	Dude Sum 41 was my favorite band lmao
Dedes 02.10.18	"Slipknot's first 3 albums...Probably because i grew up lol" First two albums still own what are you talkin' bout?
Wildcardbitchesss 02.10.18	Three days grace meant the world to me in like sixth grade. Still kinda bummed they turned into a totally shitshow
Sinternet 02.10.18	i still go back and jam the first two three days grace albums if im bored sometimes, they weren't clever but they sure were fun
Sinternet 02.10.18	'I used to listen to WCAR a ton too but even though I listened to them more than other bands, I don't think I ever thought the were "great". Like I still think their early stuff was really good but I knew it wasn't the best thing ever even then. I was basically 16 or 17 before I got into music at all though so I have fewer middle school jam- cringe moments I guess.' fair fair - tbh i dont think they were my absolute favourite but like top 3 for sure at one point when I was like 13 - first band I ever saw live too. I stopped listening to them just after tracing back roots and their new stuff sucks ass, but first three have some generic but enjoyable jams
Wildcardbitchesss 02.10.18	Yeah one x and the debut legit aren't terrible. As far as radio rock goes I'd say they're pretty good tbh. Some decent riffs and Adam always seemed sincere
SitarHero 02.10.18	"yeah Aqua is good lol" Dr. Jones is an all time great pop song. No joke.
InFlamesWeThrash666 02.10.18	First two albums still own what are you talkin' bout? i'm saying that i lost my connection with them as the title of the list suggests
SAPoodle 02.10.18	One I really hate to admit is Weighing Souls With Sand by The Angelic Process. It's still an amazing album and I haven't had the guts to rate it down from a 5 but my connection to it is faded somewhat. The same can be said of just about any album I've 5'd though, as sad as that is to say. 15 years ago Third Eye Blind's self-titled was the greatest album I'd ever heard. Now I onlyllisten about once a year for nostalgia (which wears thinner every year). The same can be said of Sigur Ros and Converge, my 2 favourite bands of the last 8 years. It's sad. I hope at least some of these albums continue being special to me for life.
JS19 02.10.18	The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place just doesn't have that magic it used to
MrHarrison 02.10.18	Actually Muse are the number one of this for me. I can just barely stand to listen to much of any of it these days
Keyblade 02.10.18	"The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place just doesn't have that magic it used to" that lost it after like the second listen tbh
xAshtrayux 02.10.18	I used to love Fallen and other early Evanescence songs (from Origin and the like). My taste evolved, but I still feel nostalgic about early Evanescence from time to time). Everything past Fallen is unlistenable to me. Either they have gotten worse after kicking all members of band or nostalgia doesn't cloud my mind. Probably both.
