Hard to argue with any of these....piles of shit the whole lot of them.

 

As I have objectively proved mathematically, 'Nymphetamine' has at least three great tracks that removes it from the pile-of-shit pile. The tracks are: 'Gilded Cunt' (listen to this and read the lyrics - one of Dani's great moments), 'Absinthe with Faust' and 'English Fire'. Klassic Kradle Kuts.

I actually prefer Nemesis over ‘Gilded’.

Ok perhaps I (over)shot my load lumping this in the Pile of Shit of the others...but I’m fine with not owning it that’s for sure.

This surprises me a bit, because I think 'Nemesis' is one of those mid-era Paul Allender tracks that was the whole problem in the first place. I guess it's got cool parts... maybe.... 'Gilded' kills it though IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

I prefer the extended version of the title track and Mother of Abominations to those tracks, but I do like the ones you mentioned.

I have to agree with someone who earlier mentioned pointless pop songs. Especially annoying when you are force fed in a workplace (used to work at a place where majority wanted a shitty pop radiostation), and then something gets stuck in your head.. oh the horror! And of course the station mainly played the same songs every day, so it was a neverending loop of agony..

So true.  I listen to more pop than metal because of work.

Rulebook says anything longer than 3 seconds is self-indulgent wanky bullshit.

That was a pretty funny response. I would like to unhear Metallica and Lou Reed’s Lulu album. I like Metallica, and I like Lou Reed, but they sound awful together.

I've never heard it, but from all the bad press it gets, I still want to unhear it.

Super Collider by Megadeth is an album I'm hoping to forget about.
Still it's fascinating in a way, makes you think.. Endgame was so good but then how did this happen? Sherlock Holmes would be stumped. Though he's a pretty clever guy and maybe would have seen it coming with Risk and what not being out there.

I haven't heard all of 'Risk' but I remember really liking 'Crush Em' or whatever it's called. Until I was with a girlfriend back in the day who was watching Dawson's Creek and 'Crush Em' came on during a yacht race the characters were engaged in. Megadeth on Dawson's Creek.

Well Risk is a walk in the park compared to Super Collider. Risk is bearable all the way through but Super Collider sound, in a way, deliberate. They must have tried making the listener feel uncomfortable.

If the first song doesn't make you want to die it's because it reminiscent of Sabbath's Children of the Grave. I dare you to listen to the second track and onward. Frightening stuff.

 

Oh shit, here I am spreading the album I wished to be unheard. Terribly sorry!!

I listened to the track, and I actually think I've heard it before, around the time 'Super Collider' came out. I don't know, I don't think it's that bad. It's not great though, I'll give you that. One thing I took from the song is how many times I've heard Dave Mustaine use those vocal 'melodies' (if you can call them that). He's done it for years and even without knowing the song you can basically sing along. 

While I doubt anyone here will have heard it, I want to nominate To/Die/For's final album 'Cvlt' as one that I would dearly love to unhear. Poor production with my beloved Jape's vocals sounding like Lemmy with a cold. The once smooth gothic croon of To/Die/For's heyday now a distant memory as he sounds FUCKING AWFUL!

Burzum - Belus.

Quite simply boring.

I didn't think it was bad, but definitely not very engaging.

When I first bought this I thought it was really good, now I too find it really boring.

Varg fixes on a fairly mediocre riff and then repeats it for the next 8 minutes. I really struggle to listen to it for more than five or six minutes these days, which is five or six minutes longer than I can listen to his last couple of albums...

Great cover art though, but overall the Burzum musical legacy has been really damaged by his post-prison albums, which at first I championed but now I sneeringly deride in my mind.

I don't have any hatred for the post-incarceration albums, but I can't say that I ever reach for them either. I have Belus, Fallen, and Umskiptar, none of which I sought to own (the first two came in a lot I won on eBay with several other black metal albums from bands like Lugubrum, Thou Art Lord, Jumalhämärä, etc..., and the other was a gift from a friend), and I think I've listened to each of them only 1 or 2 times. There's no substitute for that mystical energy he brought to his first 4 albums, and it didn't survive his stint in prison.

These are the post-prison Burzum albums that I have too. 'Umskiptar' is so bad. He's just sitting around banging pots and pans. It's ridiculous. 

EDIT: I just had a quick listen, and there are no pots and pans to be heard, so I'm going to retract that statement... for now....

"Load" is terrible.....remember when Metallica used to dress like a boy band?

Where to even begin? I've been in this business for 46 years, which means I've heard my fair share of shyte. Be that as it may, I am of the mind that it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness ... so I prefer to rush into denial whenever I hear that which does not please my ears. ("Who? Me? Dude, I'm not even here, and if I were, this would all just be a bad dream.")

There is something else as well. During most of the 80s and well into the 90s I worked at almost every big gig that came to town, which means that I got to witness all the shows by all the fucking hair metal bands over and over and over again. Let me assure you, that sucks, even if you get paid for the discomfort. I have no love for Poison, Ratt, Bon Jovi and that sort of thing. 

But if there's "one ring to rule them all" in this respect, it's gotta be Dynasty by Kiss. That was a real WTF moment.

Wow I’d have loved to be you. Ratt are great.

Dynasty sure sucks (and you can add in the 4 Solo albums too) but it’s gotta be worth owning purely for the majesty of ‘Sure Know Something’.? One of the finest KISS songs of all time.

There's no accounting for taste. De Gustibus Non Dispotandum, as the Romans used to say. Indisputable. It's not for me to say what other people should and shouldn't like ... but I claim self-ownership and full responsibility for my own shit. It was a grim realization, coming to terms with how your childhood heroes was turning into a disco band. 

Which reminds me ... I remember being dumbfounded by the "new" Deep Purple too. House Of The Blue Light? Jeez.

At least KISS redeemed themselves on Unmasked. Their creative peak.

Metallica's St. Anger is certainly their nadir. It even renders (some of) their previous double Load of WTF almost audible.

I thought that the title track was pretty good though.
