Purchases you were really fucking disappointed with?

[Aeonblade]

Don't you have some In Flames to attend to?

I don't think I've ever been extremely disappointed with any disk I've bought. However, I was fairly disappointed with these two:

Sonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild: Too... happy and upbeat, I guess. It didn't grab me at all. Recently I've been listening to Ecliptica, though, and I like it far more, so I know it's not just Sonata Arctica's general sound.

Fates Warning - No Exit: The singer (John Arch?) is really pretty bad. Or at the very least, the melodies are quite random, in a bad way, and hard to get into. Also, it's too much metal, not enough prog, and I don't think I've ever heard worse production.

Also these, but not as much... these all have enough redeeming features that I probably wouldn't change my decision to buy them in retrospect:

Adagio - Sanctus Ignis (this one has since grown on me)
Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards
Iced Earth - Dark Saga
Star One - Space Metal

Fates Warning - No Exit: The singer (John Arch?)

Ray Alder

 

[Earth Breather]

My worst buy kinda has a long story. My friend used to be an uber Trivium fanboi. He got a copy of The Crusade for like $15 at a show, got it signed by everyone, immediately hated the album. I then bought it from him for $5 since I was interested in their 'new sound'. One track in I was very dissapointed and ended up selling it for $39 to a crazed fanboi on eBay. Turns out my friend forgot he got it signed (He was drunk that night).

 

[Horus]

Wow, really old thread bump.

Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampae
I don't know what compelled me to buy this album; I must've been on acid or crack or something, because I've never made a worse purchase in my entire life. Seriously, I want to go back and kick the shit out of myself for buying this album.

Kamelot - Ghost Opera
Oh wait, I didn't buy this yet. I just have the leak. Seriously though, this album was such a huge fucking disappointment. Review coming June 5th. It doesn't COMPLETELY touch dicks, but it really was a big disappointment compared to my expectations. After The Black Halo, I was expectin something huge and heavy with much more balls. And longer songs too. But no... They're becoming a pop band.

Megadeth - Risk
I can't even consider this album funny. Thank the gods of metal sitting high in Valhalla that Dave doesn't play any of this stuff anymroe. I'd probably hang myself if I had to sit through Crush 'Em live. O_O

 

[proulxski]

Pagans Mind is not that good to begin with, and I don't think the new Nightwish was so bad!

For me it would have to be
Kamelot - Ghost Opera... Not so much that it pissed me off as I was disapointed, I mean its got some good songs, and some less good songs. Overall I just don't think its there best work yet. Not even close! All though I must say that keyes really adds an atmosphere never before seen by Kamelot!

 

[progmetaldan]

I wasn't that impressed with Jordan Rudess- Feeding The Wheel...

 

[AutumnGust]

Angra - Aurora Consurgens

What a fucking joke of an album

 

[korruption]

In response to Ptah: I figured I would give it a bump since some years have passed since making this thread and I'm sure some shitty albums were purchased during that time that people aren't too proud of.

I liked "Inhuman Rampage" a little but the vocalist just doesn't do it for me and the songs should have had more variation. Were they trying to make another "Reign in Blood"?

 

[CttN]

Wow talk about thread necromancy Personally I have never bought any incredibly shit albums, but my friend did buy all the Hammerfall albums because someone reccommended he do it, man was he pissed off.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

The first hammerfall album is good for what it is. The next three have some good tracks, and then chapter V and threshold both sucked wangster.

 

[squidfetish]

RHCP - One Hot Minute.... crock of shite

Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle Earth or whatever it was called.... So much expectation, so much crap

Yngwie Malmsteen - Alchemy.... What the fuck was I thinking?? It was like wading through treacle. I couldn't bring myself to inflict it on anyone else, so it is now an ashtray

Queensryche - Q2K.... Jesus.... words fail me.....

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory.... a chocolate-coated turd.... uke:


Will I never learn?? *shakes fist*

 

[Phanto]

Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle Earth or whatever it was called.... So much expectation, so much crap

what the fuck :zombie: NIME is ze best album ever, almost

 

[Anonymous]

The above statement is correct.

 

[Kenneth R.]

why the fuck would you buy linkin park?

I have not been disappointed in anything I've bought because well, I don't buy shite music?

 

[Kenneth R.]

also, wtf at hating melodic death metal. EPIC FA1L.

 

[Aeonblade]

You might want to be careful, 'cause Big Brother might hear you.

 

[Flavio CotM]
