Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns.
Anything by Avenged Svenfold that isn't City of Evil (maybe a couple of their self titled are okay).

Steve Vai's Flexable was probably the most unappealing if not it would be sex and religion

Stomp 442 by Anthrax. At Least Sound Of White Noise had Only, this is pretty much devoid of any particularly interesting tracks, although it's cool to hear Dimebag show up a bit. God that the album after (We've Come For You All) was awesome.

I can only really appreciate Mastodon's Crack The Skye unless I can listen to it all in one. I can't listen to it as individual songs like the other albums, it's just not right. That sort of stops me from liking it as much because I never have the time to listen to it.

And also, the cover album Streetlight Manifesto did was shit. They're my favorite band, and this album wasn't just mediocre, it was plain shit.
Really? I quite liked the covers of Linoleum and Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard. But yeah, compared to the other albums it sucks.

Oh, and the new Black Stone Cherry album is boring.

Aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahhahah, no.

[...]and everyone has a favorite album by that artist.
Aaaaahahahhaha, no.

With that said, I COULD list a few of my least favourite albums from some of my most favourite artists, though I'll probably willfully sacrifice my soul in the process.

Skindred - Roots Rock Riot
This was an extremely hard choice for me, as all of Skindred's albums are awesome, and even though Roots Rock Riot holds some of my favourite Skindred tracks of all (like "Ratrace" and "Trouble"), then I think that overall, taking the album rated on the basis of all the songs put together, this is probably my least favourite one.

Clutch - All of them (except Pure Rock Fury, Blast Tyrant, Robot Hive: Exodus and From Beale Street to Oblivion and maybe Strange Cousins from the West)
Choosing THE least favourite is hard, but I know which ones are my favourites: the ones I listed above. I wasn't and am not really that big of a fan of the musical style they had in their earlier albums, and I haven't really listened to them after my initial listen-throughs. Transnational Speedway League, Clutch, The Elephant Riders, Jam Room. From Pure Rock Fury afterwards, I think they've been fucking amazing, with the slight exception of, like was implied before, Strange Cousing from the West. It's just not that...memorable and special as the other ones are. To me, at least. Though if I had to pick a favourite out of those older ones, it'd definitely be Clutch (their self-titled album).

Colour Haze - Chopping Machine and/or CO2
Again a case of "later albums being way better", Colour Haze's self-titled album, Tempel and All are amazing. Also, Periscope is pretty good. But Chopping Machine and CO2 are pretty shit, and I think Chopping Machine gets the edge here because of its absolutely hideous cover art.

Jonathan Coulton - Are you fucking kidding me?
Okay, he doesn't have an album by that name. But he has a lot of albums, and they're more like a continuous stream of releases packaged into...packages, rather than albums with clear release dates between. Thus, I'll just use this space to tell you how great Coulton is, and that you should go and listen to him. He's great. Do it.

Mastodon - Lifesblood
Well, it's their debut EP. It's not as good at the others. Though I guess that onward from there, it all gets progressively better (lol, giddit, progressively? Well, I tried).

Maximum the Hormone - Mimi Kajiru and Rokkinpo Goroshi
Ootori has Force, which I absolutely love, and Kusoban and Buiikikaesu are just overall good albums. Mimi Kajiru and Rokkinpo Goroshi are largely forgettable, though.

Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
Ha, they only have one album out, so it's my most favourite and my least favourite. I crack myself up sometimes, yes. Thank you for asking.

Pendulum - Immersion
In Silico has Propane Nightmares, The Other Side and Mutiny. Hold Your Colour has Slam, Tarantula and Hold Your Colour. Immersion has...Set Me On Fire?

Well, I've other favourite artists, but I really can't pick the least favourite albums out of those, so I'll just leave it here.

Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns
just out of curiousity what did you think of minutes to midnight...because from the little I know isnt it like the most they deviated from their previous style?

I quite liked thousand suns...especially Blackout, When they come for me and the Catalyst
i agree with the thousand sons being the worst and it made me dislike the whole band for a while (only because at the exact time i bought thousand sons ALL of their other albums broke msteriously...) and Linkin park is known for changing their style of music throughout their career? and no more sorrow[minutes to midnight] is (IMO) the greatest song they had ever made EVER. numb[meteora] comes at second.

anyway my choice would be: my favorite artist being serj tankian and due to me liking every single song hes made its tricky but i liked imperfect harmonies the least.

anoher choice of mine would be paramore riot because there was only 2(?) good songs and most of the others sounded like eachother.

Omen by Soulfly; just didn't work for me. To be honest, I didn't really like Conquer before it much better. I can't help but feel they haven't done that well in the last six years.

Queens of the stone age with the album Era Vulgaris, that was a very hard choice as I'm a massive fan, songs for the deaf is followed closely, but I love it all :D

Surprised that I mention them first...

Pablo Honey by Radiohead, but it makes sense since it was their film album and its not necessarily bad its just I hardly listen to it and its the worst of their work.

Reel Big Fish's Monkeys for Nothin', Chimps for Free. Best cover art, worst album.
You sir are correct. Have a cookie.

Ot; Porch Life by Big D is just silly compared to the rest of their music. I'm fairly certain it was a joke.

I know I'm gonna catch flak for this but Iron Maiden's "A Matter of Life and Death". There was discussion about "No Prayer..." before but crikey,at least that one had "Holy Smoke","Bring Your Daughter..." and "Hooks In You"! AMOLAD feels like they said "You know what, Rime of the Ancient Mariner was pretty good so lets make a whole album full of long fuckoff songs that go absolutely nowhere."

Also, Nightwish's "Angels Fall First". Not as drastically as AMOLAD, but it's just not memorable whatsoever.

Love in Theory and Practice - HIM.

Sure, it wasn't bad, I just didn't think it was as good as some of their previous works.

...I still love you guys <3

Plastic Beach by the Gorillaz.
I found it lacking, there are some songs on it i like but it doesn't shine as bright as the other 2 studio Albums.
