Yes this is entirely serious. I would like you to recommend me a bad album that you would only give a 1 to 2 star rating if you felt like listening to it enough times to review it. It MUST be a studio album. I feel like listening to some music that I would not like at all and would hate intensely but like it just enough to stand it every once in a while. The sort of album you would return to a store after a few listens.

Also no sl*gging off a band.

And try to stay away from RIO/Avant-Prog if possible.










Credit to Bern for suggesting the title and giving me the push to create this thread




And I am serious about this.

The only albums I have in my collection that could belong here are Jay Chou's Fantasy and the Rocky 4 soundtrack. LOL

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Genesis's Invisible Tough is the only album I ever owned on CD that I would rate one star.

For 2 stars:


2%20stars DOORS, THE - Morrison Hotel
2%20stars DEEP PURPLE - Slaves And Masters
2%20stars DEEP PURPLE - The Battle Rages On...
2%20stars ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - Face the Music
2%20stars PINK FLOYD - The Wall
2%20stars ZAPPA, FRANK - Lumpy Gravy

I like Invisible Touch too much and I love The Wall so that doesn't help much. I'll look at the other suggestions though.

Just one?! I can't count the number of albums I bought and returned after a few listens (and some of them were great artists, too);

'Playtime' National Health (an aimless jam sans Dave Stewart)
'Remixes' Yes (oh dear-- I gave it a chance, but it's just bad)
'All Heaven Broke Loose' Bill Bruford's Earthworks (love ya Bill, but no)
'Velvet Darkness' Allan Holdsworth (his disappointing debut solo)
'Duke' Genesis (I've never understood its popularity)

Mind you, these aren't necessarily 1 star albums, but if wasn't going to be listening to them at least once a year then why own it..

My lowest review is of 2006 Egyptian Kings album "Almagest", which is available to download in their MySpace page:

STUDIO ALBUMS that I have considered and rated as good enough to buy but only worth a listen during boredom.

What do you mean, 'could' get nasty AngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngry!
 
Scenes From A Memory Metropolis Part 2, although any DT album would fit the bill as far as I'm concerned.

Please refrain from saying anything bad about bands, like

"anything by Magma"

I'm looking for specific albums.

I didn't say anything bad about them.
If you want one Magma album, this'll do..

Pain of Salvation - Scarsick
Tool - 10,000 Days (not bad, but it's the same old, same old)
David Gilmour - On An Island (some not bad moments, but it's dull)
Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven (not bad, but dull)
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Tarkus (the opening track is fine, the rest is terrible)
Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third (overrated)

Jim Garten's recommendation:

Pallas - The Sentinel
