Where It All Turned To Shit

[Bürggermeister]

For some reason, I'm suffering through Subhuman Race by Skid Row. I've never listened to it all the way through before since I first got it almost 30 years ago but, fuck it, today's the day. Everything about it is shit. The songs, the guitar tone, the production, the fucking drums sound abysmal, it's all fucking shite. It really is. There isn't a single redeeming feature. There's also Stanger, the benchmark of everything being a bad idea.

What else is there? What other albums are where an generally decent band turned entirely fucking terrible, where every part of it is just shite?

[Bürggermeister]

I thinking when Samael turned industrial might be a candidate

Great idea and should hopefully stir a bit of hassle.

Here's one that some people surely like but sickened my hole:

Pink Floyd - The Endless River.

Every second of it was useless.

Trying to avoid things that are obvious like picking out an oul Limp Bizkit album or something.

Actually, no I take it all back. The worst album ever by anyone is the Morbid Angel yoke. I've erased the name from my mind but you know exactly which one

[Bürggermeister]

I know the one

Iron Maiden- No Prayer For The Dying

Metallica- Black Album (hated it then, still hasn't convinced me)

[Bürggermeister]

Yeah, No Prayer For The Dying is a good call, the start of the lifeless Harris productions. The Black album sounds fucking deadly, though, even if the songs might not be to taste. I'm thinking where every decision made in the making of it was the wrong one, something which has stood the test of time of being irredeemably shit in every aspect.

[Mr Barlow]

Faith No More. When Jim Martin was gone.

Faith No More. When Jim Martin was gone.

Yep, 100% in agreement there.

Faith No More. When Jim Martin was gone.

Ooooooohhhhh

No.

Yep, 100% in agreement there.

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

No.

Understood the general idea, I think the production on the 'Black Album' is great I just have to take any chance I can to hate on it

[Eoin McLove]

I kind of agree with FNM. I like some of the later stuff but nothing comes close The Real Thing or Angel Dust.

[The Great Cull]

For me it would be Roots

I couldn't for the life of me see why people were losing their minds over it. The songs, the playing, the production. All shite. With hindsight it was possibly showing that the lineup had run out of ideas and needed to split.

It's weird that people always clamour for the classic lineup reunions and they all seem to forget albums like Roots, Cryptic Writings and World Painted Blood were all the product of what the classic lineups were also responsible for.

[Pentagrimes]

Couldn't disagree more with the FNM one. Angel Dust is absolutely perfect but they'd never have made the same record again even with Martin. I think King For  day would be a far less interesting record with JM.

Arise is the obvious one for me. A watered down version of what had come before that's the sound of a band bored of what they were doing, but doing it anyway. Shit record. The Black album is garbage as well.

Heartwork. I know everyone loves it, but it's when they stopped being interesting or ground breaking to me.
