Drive Like Jehu's CD "Yank Crime" got rave reviews from everywhere, and they had the guitarist from Rocket From The Crypt in the band. I bought it, and it wasn't terrible... just not RFTC-great.

Also, I got the new Piebald CD, and that was crap. There shouldn't be two songs you like on a CD of 14 songs.

Lo Fidelity Allstars - How To Operate With A Blown Mind

I heard Battleflag on the radio and thought it kicked ***, so I ran out and bought it, later to realize that this was the only good song on the album. I still keep the CD to remind me to never do something so stupid again.

Californication and By the Way. Very meh, after the awesomeness that is Blood Sugar Sex Magic.

I don't know...I thought tracks 1 & 2 on Exordium were awesome songs - just really liked Beneath for some reason. My Choice was alright - didn't think it was worthy of having a video shot for it though. Didn't like the Maiden cover though - as I don't even like Maiden's original.

Agreed on Invisible Circles!

um... INTERPOL! whatever their first album was called. I heard rave reviews, bought it. Listened to it once and havent seen it since I threw it into a dark corner of my room.

You mean Turn On the Bright Lights? I think it's pretty good, not fantastic, but solid. It surprises me that you don't like it; it seems like it'd be right up your alley. *shrugs* :)

Hmm, I really liked it... their new album came out a couple weeks ago, so I'm gonna check that out.

Out of 11, I call that a decent strike rate. Not spectacular, but decent. Especially when the good songs are so flimming good, as is the case with Franz Ferdinand. IMO there were about 2 'not-up-to-scratch-with-the-others' songs :p

Bad Religion-The Empire Strikes First
It's not that it's bad , it's just not as good as some of their earlier stuff. Actually, that applies to their last couple of CDs.
Primus-Antipop
I don't know what it is, but I just can't stand Antipop. Lacquerhead is pretty much the only song I can stand listening to.

Listen to One Hot Minute and you'll appreciate those a little bit more ;)

Metallica - St. Anger. Where the hell are the solos and why do they go nu-metal? :(

I disrepectfully disagree *****es.

I don't think I have bought an album that has dissapointed me. Though I never just go out an buy an album, I get opinions,, try to hear samples songs, ect. just to make sure I will get something I'll regret.

My guess is that it's too post-punkish for him. They're sort of like a more polished version of Joy Division.
I used to love the album, but I don't like it quite as much as I used to.

Most post-Replacements Paul Westerberg stuff (except his more recent albums)
REM- Around the Sun
All of David Bowie's albums between Scary Monsters and Heathen
It's not the side effects of cocaine, so then I'm thinking that it must be love

Also: Johnny Marr and the Healers- Boomslang

One of the greatest guitarists of the last 20 years forms a band with Ringo Starr's son and releases an album... and it sucks horribly.

I liked those two as well - but the "album" was way too much of a small promotion, especially with the DVD extra, and the tiny listening time. I was expecting a decent album, you know. :p
