My Anti-favorite Albums List
I wanted to make a counterpoint to my favorite albums list. Couldn't rreally make a bottom 30 rrlist, so I decided to make a list of my least rfavorite albums by the artists on my top 30 list. rrY'know, for funsies! |
| 1 |  | Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Hysterical
Boring |
| 2 |  | Animal Collective
Danse Manatee
Not a bad album per se, just more of an experiment. |
| 3 |  | Arcade Fire
Neon Bible
Like all of their albums a good deal, but like The Suburbs a bit more of this one. |
| 4 |  | The Beatles
Yellow Submarine
No thank you. |
| 5 |  | Bjork
Volta
Eh. "A" for Effort, Timbaland. |
| 6 |  | The Blood Brothers
This Adultery Is Ripe
Seems a bit unfair to pick on this album, cause it's their first, but it's just too
rough for me. |
| 7 |  | Clutch
Strange Cousins from the West
Not bad, pales compared to the rest of their discography though. |
| 8 |  | The Dismemberment Plan
!
More like "?", am I right? |
| 9 |  | DJ Shadow
The Less You Know the Better
Unfortunately you could put "anything he did after Endtroducing..." here. |
| 10 |  | The Flaming Lips
Embryonic
Haven't heard any of their pre-Zaireeka stuff, but I don't think I get this one. |
| 11 |  | Flying Lotus
1983
Big jump from this one to Los Angeles |
| 12 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Yanqui U.X.O
Just missing something that their other album have, can't put my finger on it. |
| 13 |  | Jay-Z
The Blueprint 3
Yes, I like this one less than Kingdom Come. And yes, I know that makes me
insane. |
| 14 |  | Joanna Newsom
Ys
Again, all her albums are pretty awesome, this is just the least awesome if I had
to pick one. |
| 15 |  | Kanye West
808s & Heartbreak
I mean, come on. |
| 16 |  | LCD Soundsystem
LCD Soundsystem
Too long. Lacks focus. B- |
| 17 |  | Los Campesinos!
Romance is Boring
Has some of my favorite tracks, but is too long; too many power chords. |
| 18 |  | Madvillain
Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remix
By default! |
| 19 |  | Man Man
Life Fantastic
Didn't do anything for me. |
| 20 |  | Mastodon
Remission
I can appreciate this album, but don't particularly enjoy it. |
| 21 | | Miles Davis
You're Under Arrest
Close race between this and Aura, but the atrocious cover art pushes this over
the edge. |
| 22 |  | The Mountain Goats
Heretic Pride
Yeah, sure, I guess. I had to pick one, but I didn't want to. |
| 23 |  | Neutral Milk Hotel
On Avery Island
Again, by default! |
| 24 | | Nosferatu D2
We're Gonna Walk Around This City...
Again, it's their only album, so it's both my favorite and my least favorite! |
| 25 |  | Outkast
Idlewild
Can we all pretend that Idlewild, both as a movie and an album, never
happened? What's that? We already did? Great! |
| 26 |  | Panda Bear
Young Prayer
All of his albums are gold, but Tomboy has "Slow Motion" and you can't top that. |
| 27 |  | Pavement
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Forgettable by Pavement standards. |
| 28 |  | Pixies
Trompe Le Monde
Nah I'm good. |
| 29 |  | Radiohead
Pablo Honey
Yeah, it's the popular choice, but it's also the correct one. |
| 30 | | Xiu Xiu
Chapel of the Chimes
Kinda sucks |
|
