Pain Of Salvation is my favorite band and I love all of their albums. The Perfect Element gets the least listens though. But it's still a 4.5 star album!!

Don't worry they aren’t that bad... as for me I have

That Union is the worst.

HOTSPACE!!!

Pink Floyd--Piper at the Gates of Dawn (decent album, but weakest from the Floyd)

Rush--Fly By Night.  It has a few good spots but overall not up to the standards they set later in their career.

Genesis--Foxtrot.  Its also my most recent Genesis purchase so it has head less time to sink in.

Jethro Tull--Minstrel in the Gallery although I've only heard 8 or 9 of their albums out of 30 or more.

Dream Theater--Awake.  Space-Dye Vest is absolute genius...their finest moment.  The rest fails to impress.

Of my favorites:

(These are not necessarily bad albums. Just the weakest from each artist/group.)

Frank Zappa - Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch or  The Man From Utopia

King Crimson - Beat

Gentle Giant - Civilian

Jethro Tull - Under Wraps

Yes - Talk

ELP - In The Hot Seat (although, at the time of release, I was more disappointed in Love Beach)

Utopia - (any studio album after Adventures In Utopia)

Spock's Beard - Octane

Echolyn - Cowboy Poems Free

Crack The Sky - Dog City

 

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

all these albums have good noteworthy songs though.

The only things that let down Presence are -

  • It followed Physical Graffitti
  • It has no acoustic numbers and sometimes sounds a little too dark

However I feel the album is a right gem! And it has my favourite Zep track (most of the time), the 11 minute opus "Achilles last stand"

Agreed.

Even the ones I didn't like at first (Power, In the Spirit of Things, Vinyl Confessions) I have since grown to at least tolerate, but Drastic Measures is one I play every couple of years just to reaffirm my dislike for any part of it.

- Iron Maiden - Virtual XI
Oh my god, this is freakin' crap from a band like Maiden!

- Yes - 90125
An album you can listen to, but still pretty lame from Yes.

- Metallica - Reload
I don't consider this one so horrible as people claim, but still a dull album. Why are everyone BTW dissing St. Anger that much? I find it a very OK album.

- Pink Floyd - Momentary Lapse of Reason
I don't own this album, but the songs I've heard are boring.

- Megadeth - Risk
This one has got a couple of OK songs, but still a horrible album. 


Then there is Jethro Tull, YUP and Rush, but I haven't heard that much Tull, and Rush and YUP haven't got any bad albums! I own 8 Rush albums (of 18) and everyone of them are good or great, just like with YUP (with 6 of 10 albums).

Genesis -- Abacab

Tull -- Under Wraps

King Crimson -- In the wake of Poseidon

Yes -- Open your Eyes

Flower Kings -- Garden of Dreams (I've never been able to get into this one, although I LOVE everything else)

Pendragon -- Believe (Very disapointed with their last entry)

Marillion --Radiation

Porcupine Tree (Deadwing -- I know, it's a favorite for a lot of people: it has great moments, -- not a bad one, but by far the weakest from their whole catalogue, which I own!)

What happened to this song we once knew so well???
