Little things in albums that annoy the fuck out of you.

I think the chanting should be 20-25 seconds shorter, myself. Either that or use the outro they did on the Alive in Athens version, with those crazy drum solos and shit. That would be badass.

Almost took you seriously

I was serious enough. I hate that booming sound coming from my speakers, so annoying and it distracts from everything else.

 

[vixTRON]

Every band should be using the Valnott

 

[Lunar Descent]

Already off-beat triggered up snares.

 

[Ender Rises]

I hate bad snare sound, high hats too high in the mix (more common with live recordings), not enough bass or bass drums, and I really don't like fadeouts. Write a fucking ending, dammit. I also hate crashy endings, where the band just kinda makes noise for a while and stops.

 

[Mentok]

I agree on the fade outs and the "crashing" endings. I think the latter actually cheapens the whole song most times.

 

[Oddity_13]

Bad backing vocals; Wednesday 13 Fang Bang.

 

[Crapples]

Not all fade outs suck.

Dark Faith's With Skeptics Grieving for example. Kick ass outro that one.

From the top:

- Filler Songs ( if you don't have something creative to write, don't write it at all... )
- When a piece of the drumkit isn't recorded well, like the cymbals are too high or the bass drum is nill, snare is hollow sounding etc.
- long outros, might as well skip those...
- when every song is based on the same key, or the formula/mode of riffing is completely the same throughout the album

Illegible track listings... man that pisses me off.

Yeah there are plenty of effective fade-outs. Emperor's With Strength I Burn and Opeth's Face of Melinda come to mind.

Although on the other hand most Opeth endings are so directionless and limp.

 

[Bothering]

Illegible track listings... man that pisses me off.

Even worse...no track listings!

 

[The Ozzman]

Not putting the album name on the CD itself. It's really hard to remember which album is with what artist when I have 20+ CDs like that

Yeah, this is really annoying. I have quite a few CD's that are all basically plain black with no writing and because I don't keep all my CD's in the cases, I often get them confused.

I only have 3 Emperor releases and I have trouble remember which is which, even with the different graphics on each one.

Is it that hard to put it in small letters on the disc? Srsly.

 

[seedofvengeance]

I hate when the lyrics aren't in the booklet. I know this is common, but it's just annoying to me that you can't just type them in there. It's hard enough to understand half of the bands vocals, why can't you just help out a bit?

I really hate that too.

 

[Zephyrus]

When you put the jewel case into your CD tower the normal way, and the text on the spine is upside down.

 

[Einherjar86]

Even worse...no track listings!

Even worse... incorrect track listings (well, maybe not worse, but I wanted to go with the flow).
