Biggest Musical Disapointment

[Carcassian]

A thread in which you can relay all those deeply dissapointing purchases, perhaps after having sought after them high and low.

Recent dissapointments have been getting hold of Isobel - Bjork (Carcass mix) - which of course sucks horse cock, but I was convinced in my own mind over all these years that it would be fucking awesome.

Another recent kick in the fucking balls was the Peaceville X compilation that I finally got a hold of in January this year, principally for the Blackstar cover songs, which although the best things on the CD were really only of average quality.

Interested in your tales of woe:

 

[Mort Divine]

Wintersun's selftitled was hailed by so fucking many to be this goddamned second coming of Christ in metal that I was thinking it'd be amazing as all hell. I listen to it and am put to sleep by it, one of the most boring albums I've ever heard. Horrible album.

Not that I sought after it but still ...

 

[Astrum]

Dissection-Reiankos

But of course.

 

[Carcassian]

Hmmm... I should add Mithras - Worlds Beyond The Veil, which infamously got a 10/10 review in Terrorizer, and was described in pretty much the same terms as the cure for cancer, secret to eternal life etc.

Imagine my surprise to find it a fucking ultimately mediocre appallingly produced Morbid Angel clone with some cunt on a keyboard inbetween tracks.

Rubbish.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Hardly any of that album was played on keyboards, tbh.

Electronics / samples/ "ambience" etc to clarify.

All of which, by and large, I tend to lump in the $99 casio mental file.

new metal is the biggest disapointment from metal

I meant in terms of a personal dissapointment with an album that you'd looked forwards to.

Another for me would be Slayer - Diabolus in Musica, which aside from Screaming from the Sky is fucking turgid SHITE.

I like "In The Name Of God" and "Death's Head" in addition to that song, and in actuality I'd take Diabolus over Christ Illusion or the other post-Seasons material anyday.

Really ? I think that Divine Intervention is the best post-Seasons album by quite a long margin. Other than a couple of duffers, most of the tracklisting is quite strong.

I thought "in the name of god" was a great track off of diabolus...devin townsend is fucking genious, but i was disappointed as hell with "the new black". Maybe 2 good tracks on it but devin had too much shit on his plate at the time and rushed it.

Vile - Depopulate for me was really disapointing. It looked good on paper but ended up being weak and boring. Also Primordial Domination by Incantation, while not being bad, was a disappointment to me.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Motley Crue - Motley Crue

Suprise suprise, it didnt have Vince.

I've never heard other albuns form Vile, and i've liked Depopulate

 

[Killbot]

Vader - De Profoundis

Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but I had heard The Beast and Litany before this and I was told De Profoundis was far and away the best Vader... this wasn't the case for me and it's probably the Vader album I listen to least (out of the ones I can listen to).

 

[cookiecutter]

Same thing happened for me with The Ultimate Incantation

 

[~Neurotica]

Lamb Of God - Sacrament

 

[Vitor]

The Ultimate Incantation...

Great albun
