Your least favourite album from the last 5 years

i can't even think of 1 album that is totally shit from start to finish... there's always some good moments on everything...

apart from maybe some shitty pop-tart stuff. but then i don't buy that shit, because i'm not 13, so...........

Boards of Canada

 

 

For obvious reasons

you guyz haven't worked out how to listen to 'black square' yet??? hahahah

most people still don't have the technology to hear it yet, i guess..

Skinny Puppy's HanDover and ohGr's unDeveloped were both more mediocre than I could have ever imagined possible for either artist.

What !

That's a bit harsh. It's not like you could have possibly been desperately anticipating that album for years and years. OH NO the 8th Aaron Funk release in 3 years, and I don't like it, I can't believe it. It wasn't to my tastes either to be fair, but its since grown on me massively. Whenever I listen to it again to see if my opinion has changed, its sheer aggression blows me away, so I turn it up loud, then I get bored a few tracks in, but for immediate amaze it's great.

It's not stylistically bad or poorly misjudged, it's still expertly composed - listen to Kimberly Clark, Pussy Skull, Deep Dicking.

Anyway, mine is Autechre - Oversteps. I think it's generally bad music. I still can't stand listening to it. Just one album killed all my enthusiasm for them. Move of Ten wasn't much better, once I got over the initial thrill of new Autechre. Hating an album and then listening to a new ep hoping it will reignite your excitement only to discover that nearly all the tracks are bored remixes/alternative versions of tracks from that album.

My thoughts exactly.

Bibio's Mind Bokeh was a huge disappointment, sounded like a collection of unfinished ideas with no pay-off to be found. Ambivalence Avenue was beautiful.

yeah, he should have taken a couple extra years to work on the follow up instead of rushing it

I was originally a bit let down by Shellac's Excellent Italian Greyhound (packaging and artwork aside which was brilliant as ever). After waiting for seven years I felt deflated, with songs like Steady As She Goes and Genuine Lulabelle, plus two instrumentals and the age-old Spoke as a closer. More recently though it's clicked, and the album now seems a lot stronger and flows nicely. For example, after the intense Lulabelle you need a bit of a breather with a track like Kittypants. So yeah, compared to the other three albums it did gather dust for a few years before I saw sense. Love it now though.

Sorry, tl;dr.

My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges

Mostly hokey, tongue in cheek songs and awkwardness. Z is the tits though.
