It's happened to everyone. One of your favorite bands puts out a record that you can't stand. Let's hear people's lists. Here's my "top" three:

(1) Face to Face, Ignorance is Bliss

(2) Bad Religion, No Substance

(3) Rancid, Life Won't Wait

Geez...I thought Life Won't Wait was awesome, and that's not a joke.

It was awesome. And so was the s/t record that came next.

I had high hopes for Alkaline trio - This Addiction. Loved the first half, songs 1-6 are decent/good. HATED the fuck out of the second half. But the good songs sound like old songs. Dead On the Floor and San Francisco sound oddly similar to me for whatever reason. Off The Map sounds like Dan's songs on From Here To Infirmary.

Anyway...

though I wouldn't put those rancid and face to face albums on there (I actually think ignorance is a fantastic record) I would put the last bad religion record on there. Record was totally forgettable.

Dead FM by strike anywhere was an album I was looking forward to and was pretty disappointed when ti came out.

i don't know about albums i hate... but theres definitely bands that put out extremely subpar albums below what they were capable of (and oddly enough they are all major label records which probably resulted from A&R guy meddling)

bosstones - pay attention

suicide machines - s/t

civ - 13 day getaway

alkaline trio - agony & irony

less than jake - in with the out crowd

and you're insane... life won't wait is the best rancid record hands down.

LWW and AOCTW are the 2 greatest back-to-back releases by a band IMO.

I think with IWTOC, it would have been a better and more popular record if it wasn't LTJ. Tracks like Soundtrack of My Life and Rest of My Life would have been a lot huger.
