They need slogans, like "Doody Baldrs" or "Ea, Lord Of The Naps".

We've all heard albums so terrible we wanted to hurl midgets out the nearest window out of pure rage! These don't have to be albums you own either but they do have to be full albums, not just songs.

Death Angel - Frolic Through The Park' date=' stupid album title, crappy songs except Road Mutants which was pretty good, why on Earth didn't I listen to more then one track from that disaster before I bought it?[/quote'] After listening to that album recently, I actually liked it more than I remembered. There are lots of original and dissonant riffs on there that you won't find on many other thrash albums, and the funk integration into the tracks is actually somewhat well done in places.

^ Shit album, and a shit band as well. They have a great lead guitarist though.
Actually I rather enjoy most of their material, just that album and later Eclipse, are just horrible. Painfully so. That's another I'd like to unhear. Their lead player is ok but can't solo.

I'm the opposite actually Tales is the only Amorphis album I own and I like it' date=' heard stuff from before and after and none of that interests me so I'd like to unhear Amorphis except for Thousand Lakes[/quote'] By all accounts I should love that album but I just can't get into. I've had it for 10 years or so and only like 'Black Winter Day'. The rest of it is just suck personified.

The Privilege of Evil EP is also good, more vicious, but with muddier sound. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

my problem may stem from only having heard stuff from after Thousand Lakes' date=' I'll check out those two[/quote'] The Karelian Isthmus is one of the best doom/death/grind albums you'll ever hear. Even the following EP are killer. I listen to them regularly.

There are three albums that I think of : Lulu-Metallica and Lou Reed, certainly the biggest disappointment for an expected album since I like both Reed and Metallica. Death Magnetic of Metallica. Not that the songs are all bad, but I did not find the sound I like about Metallica, something was missing in this album for my taste. The album was just boring. Then Blooddrunk of Children of Bodom. I'm not a huge fan of them, but I knew many songs of the band and they were really good but when I bought Blooddrunk, I really was disappointed, a bit like with Metallica's Death Magnetic, something in this album did not made me feel like if I was not listening to the good Children of Bodom ( not the evolution I would have like for them ). Still they did better with the next album in my opinion.

Possibly the worst metal album I've heard is one of the Northern Kings albums that my friend bought as a cruel joke. Has anyone else heard them? It's a symphonic metal band super group that play covers of 80's ballads. Needless to say it's fucking terrible.

oh god that does sound terrible I want to unhear Serpent's Embrace by Agathodaimon, at first I liked it (largely because I was only just getting back into black metal) now I think it's fucking awful, it's lazy, unimaginitive and features some of the most out of place and awkward female vocals I've ever heard, couple that with stupid lyrics and you have one dreadfully bad album

Re: Albums you wish you could unhear.

Ozzy was very lucky. He can't sing for shit and yet somehow managed to make a career out of it. I'd like to unhear all the albums he ever sang on minus the Black Sabbath material.
Yeah, he was a shit singer when he was in Sabbath too, but definitely got worse after. The difference is that his voice fit Sabbath, and their music is strong enough to outweigh his shortcomings. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

The drums of it I liked.... That's about all good I have to say about it. Fuck, just thinking about the album forms a burning anger inside of me. I'll give you an example, one of the songs off of it is called "Pinned Down and Fisted." ...WHAT THE FUCK. I can't stand music like that. I just can't. They don't even have talent to make up for any of it.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
