Wort releases of 2004

[Oblivious Maximus]

Opposite of the best of 2004 thread. What do you think are the worst releases of 2004? Some of my picks:

The Dillilger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
Isis - Panopticon
Shadow of Death - Apocalypse is Comming
Apocalypse - Upon the Crimson Rivers

 

[bmh]

Isis - Panopticon

I choose that Crisis album on The End. Whatever it was called, it was shite.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Hehe, I just noticed my fuck up on the title. I just thought I'd mention it before the grammer fags jump on it.

Ahahaha Crisis. Dark art metal? More like dark fart metal. AM I RIGHT

It's "am i rite", and it sucks, and has sucked ever since more than about 3 people started doing it at SOT and people like DE gradually became unable to stop butchering their own language despite the redundancy of the comedy. tbh.

I've become prudent with the procurement of music. I generally wait a while before bothering to get an album, to gauge opinion. Thus I haven't heard things like the system has failed etc. as I know it will be terrible.

This is unless ofcourse, I am reviewing a newly released album.
The worst I heard was a few demo's from a band called Avatar. They were awful.

 

[The Grimace]

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine

I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread and ATMs... what didn't you enjoy?

Worst albums... Lamb Of God's new album ate the big one... I don't often listen to music twice that I didn't like the first time, so I can't much remember what I didn't like.

 

[Jaar-Gilon]

i thought Ashes of the Wake (LoG's new one) was really good, they just keep progressing with their music. the difference between Burn the Priest or New american and Ashe's is awesome

From a riff standpoint the album isn't bad, and if it was anyone else I'd probably like it, but As The Palaces Burn was in my top 10 albums of last year, due in no small part to Devin Townsend. I just don't think the new one stands up. Sounds like a young band that was really influenced by LoG rather than a unique statement like all the other albums have been.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I have relatively few albums from 2004, but Soundtrack to Your Escape is the worst of them.

 

[bmh]

Dream Theater - Master Of Puppets

 

[anvil(old)]

Samael - Reign of Light
Ewigkeit - Radio Man

 

[opethmaniac]

i don't think some albums i listened to this year deserved being qualified as "bad"...so, let's say the "less good ones", which are Megadeth and Cradle Of Filth..

 

[Crimson Velvet]

In Flames - Soundtrack to Your Escape

Easily the worst album of 2004. It just swoops everything else off the field...

 

[Erik]

In Flames - Soundtrack to Your Escape

Easily the worst album of 2004. It just swoops everything else off the field...

Haha, this is the winner

Though I will say, if the rest of the Samael album is as utterly fucking worthless as "Telepath", we have a new winner for shittiest album of the decade*.



* EDIT: Err, no, wait, there's always St. Anger.

 

[None_So_Vile]

Definitely In Flames - Soundtrack To Your Escape

 

[merci]

It's a live album of DT doing a MoP set.

Labrie trying to sound like James Hetfield = Bad result.
Labrie trying to sound like Labrie = Just as bad.

 

[Evil Dead]

Anything released by In Flames or Dimmu Borgir this year make the list.
Dissections Maha Kali McD..wtf.

Yeah like I was actually trying to be hilarious or something.
