God awful electronic with sexual lyrics made only to pander to the highest and drunkest club goers. I'm glad that even he regrets doing the damn thing. Beats are alright but those lyrics man.

My work PC is mental, all I did was refresh the screen after it froze. Oops, I don't see anyway to delete them myself, and I don't think copying all 5 posts was necessary.
It's nice that you would believe I could make 4 posts in error though. If you knew me IRL you'd believe it if it had happened 19 times, I kinda suck

Oh don't worry, you can keep annoying me if you want. There's a world of difference between "annoyed" and "offended". That particular viewpoint, though? Always annoys me whenever it comes up. What do you call that, a "pet peeve"? It's one of the few things I am capable of getting passionate about on the internet, and it looks like this time, that overrode my usual "sigh, and live and let live" policy.Nazulu said:

I suppose I'm just bitter that my absolute favourite kind of music has been scarce since well before I was born - I blame the "Punk Revolution" for that. Then when Linkin Park, of all bands, releases a well thought-out and coherent concept album that's one of the best art albums I've heard... of course, half the fanbase very vocally hates it, screaming "CHANGE BACK! CHANGE BAAAACK!" because it didn't have enough "awesome" guitar riffs or sing-along choruses for them to mosh to. To me it seems like the same kind of issue as with other media - you get the types who only enjoy action movies with lots of explosions, and the types that will only read romance novels, but music seems to be the only medium where people actually act proud - and occasionally snooty, though thankfully not here - about these tastes. I'm well aware this makes me an insufferable elitist, but... I hate that.
So the melodies are (in your opinion) weaker than on their other albums - so what? What if they weren't going for melody? Why should a band have to go for melodic content? And by the way, I'm not just interested in stories - I on't know where I you got that from, because while I like music that tells a story, I also like songs/albums with melody, songs/albums that evoke some sort of emotional reaction, songs/albums (usually albums in this case) that can transport me to another world, etc. What most annoys me is that melodies and the occasional emotional reaction are what people define as "good music" nowadays without a second glance, and are loudly unwilling to accept any other form. So of course, when a mainstream band releases an album that isn't meant to specifically be either of those, people dismiss it as "pretentious" (god, I hate that term - it's so misused) and "dull" and just straight "bad music" without considering it further.
I suppose Cracked.com was right - popular music does have less variety in this age. We've gone from the 70s, where bands like Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd can reach number 1 alongside bands like Led Zeppelin and Wings, to now where only bands like the last two are considered valid (save for the odd outlier album, of course, like Kid A). And sure, some of my favourite bands are catchy and melodic pop bands from today, but I so wish people would voluntarily exercise thought about the music they consume and accept other kinds too.

tl;dr People don't like what I like and this fact makes me feel first annoyed, then just sort of sad and depressed. I suppose one day I'll move into grudging acceptance. Maybe you can help me with that.
It's actually probably my favorite, but I don't disagree with you. It gives me a little laugh whenever I hear it, and the beats are still good enough for me to groove to it. Of course I'm also a huge fan of the movie Hudson Hawk, so there's that.DugMachine said:
Oh good music on it for sure. Definitely gets me dancing but I cringe every time I hear that woman's irrtitating voice saying she wants to fuck me or whatever. My favorite is probably For Lack of A Better name.Benpasko said:
Really digging his newest album atm. Interesting to say the least.

I am a pretty big fan of Yes. Yes is one of those bands that put out a ton of albums, but only about 5 or 6 were any good (even most fans agree with this assessment). I haven't heard all of their albums so I can't say which one is definitively the worst, but Drama is pretty damn bad. Jon Anderson was not in the band on that album, and Trevor Horn seemed to think he could sing just as high as Anderson (a male alto, btw). He could not, and it shows. He's noticeably flat like 90% of the time.
I listen to a shit tonne of music yet rarely listen to a bands entire discography more than once, I see no reason to listen to a bands inferior albums more than once and stick to the classics really.
However one of the biggest examples I have noticed of a band going to shit is Muse, they started off really well and got better with Origin of Symmetry but after that they got progressively worse.
My rank for each in chronological Order:
Showbiz: 7.5/10
Origin of Symmetry: 8/10
Absolution: 7/10
Black Holes and Revelations: 5/10
The Resistance: 3/5
The 2nd Law: 1.5/10
They are probably the best example of a good band that got worse over time, either them or Metallica at least.
Also I just want to say on an unrelated note that a severely under-rated album is The Division Bell by Pink Floyd, this album gets alot of hate but in my opinion is consistently above average throughout with some stunning tracks (Marooned and High Hopes are two of my favourite Floyd tracks!), it is not a very memorable listen or exciting for the most part but the writing is still really good.

Oh, OK, I see your point. It does have a different lineup, and I'm not disagreeing with you. Out of the albums they've released, I would say its the weakest, purely because it is (sort of) a re-release, and I'm one of those mad, sick people who thinks that live music is nowhere near as good as studio produced music.Evil Smurf said:
On a more personal note, I would not be able to say which of Evanescence's albums I... like least. I was very sceptical about Fallen when released (I was all 'oh, its just another emo metal band, yawn.' because I'm extremely judgemental like that), but I gave it a chance, and enjoyed it. I loved the Open Door (it is stylistically very different, and yet still very Evanescence) and I love the new album too. If anything, I would probably say Fallen (not 'worst' so much as 'least good') but thats only because its like, ten years old now, and I prefer the style they've evolved to.
But that voice... Oh dear god that voice...
Agree with this as well, Yes are a severely overrated band although their good albums are all classics, their bad albums however are really REALLY bad which is made worse when it takes up almost all of their albums since the 80's (although 90125 is a really under-rated album, mainly because it is hated for not being prog enough). Only around 8 out 18 of their studio albums are good, the rest suck.Varitel said:
And Drama is actually one of the better ones compared to their later stuff, Machine Messiah is a great track but Into the Lens ("I am a camera, camera, camera") is soooooooooo bad it is not funny.
There's absolutely no dubstep on Living Things, but apart from that I agree with you. By far their worst album and I never particularly liked them anyway. It's so stale and insipid. A Thousand Suns is actually their best imo.Loonyyy said:
GY!BE: Their new one, Allelujah! Don't Bend ! Ascend!, but it's still brilliant (2nd favourite album of the year so far, that just goes to show how good and underrated a band they are).
The Weeknd: Echoes of Silence. Again, weakest of his trilogy of mixtapes but still very good. They're all on a similar level anyway.
Brand New: Your Favorite Weapon. Was their debut, very pop-punky and had a few good spots but the style they progressed towards afterwards was a stunning improvement.
Burial: His self titled debut. King of dubstep. Counting his EPs here but this album is just a collection of tracks and as has been shown since, Burial's electronic/ambient soundscapes work best as cohesive units. Again, a few good tracks, but as a whole it doesn't touch the classic that is Untrue, or even the brilliant Street Halo and Kindred, neither of which are far off Untrue (and actually, I prefer the general style he moved towards with longer and deeper tracks).
I've only heard their first self titled album and that was brilliant. Can these be so bad?The Rascal King said:

OH GOD MY FUCKING EYES!!!
I like A Momentary Lapse in Reason! Learning to Fly is one of my favourites! It's not as good as Division Bell, but I still like it! The one I could never get into was Atom Heart Mother... tried many a time, but can't do it!OlasDAlmighty said:
OT: For the Clash, for me it is Sandinista. The whole album just screams of quantity over quality... and then learning that it was all made in a space of about a month confirmed that!
Infected Mushroom, I couldn't get on with BP empire... It didn't feel as fresh and new as all those that came after... but also wasn't anywhere near as good as their original 2 psytrance albums! Although after hearing U R so Fucked when they previewed it on FB I kinda went off them... so haven't heard the new one... will get round to it, when the feeling of being butthurt is over!
I've not kept up with Keane after Under The Iron Sea failed to live up to Hopes And Fears.rosac said:
Didn't realize they've got five albums out already.... Guess I'll have to look into that.
The Shins' first two albums are awesome. The new one, Port Of Morrow, is great too, but not quite as good.
Haven't heard the third one yet, so, the newest is the weakest I know of.
