We all come across albums that we would rate lowly, that rub us the wrong way, etc. etc. It's easy to start complaining about these albums and get all upset that you wasted your time listening to them. But I say, who needs negativity in their life. So in an effort to spread around a positive spirit, I challenge you to say something nice about an album that you didn't like very much.

I'll start - The Flower Kings: Rainmaker somehow rubbed me the wrong way and I avoided them for months after hearing it. BUT, "Serious Dreamers" may be one of the catchiest prog songs I've heard and every once in a while, I almost spin the album just to hear that song. Sword of God isn't too bad either.

Great idea for a thread!

I'll go with Dream Theater's Images and Words.  While the style of music is not really my cup of tea, the musicians are all top notch players.

I can't stand "Dark Side of the Moon", but listening to it on 8-track in the back seat of my friends car made me a life-long progressive rock fanatic.

I find Marillion's Misplaced Childhood incredibly boring.... but the musicianship and performance are flawless (that's why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1)

Anathema's A Fine Day To Exit has one or two tracks which don't suck.

Pictures at an Exhibition has a great cover art and has some really out-of-it's-time moog live playing.

Up the Downstaire is nicely packaged plus comes with the great Staircase Infinities.

Alright, seriously, The Bedlam In Goliath has a few tolerable moments.

But when I say "moments", I really mean "seconds" Tongue

Yes album CTTE....I just can't get it. Its not that I hate it, I mean I have listened to it maybe 10 times....but tried to listen to it probably 50 times before I get bored and turn it off.
 
I enjoy Yes very much and the technical prowess and compostion certainly is there from the band...
