Did Flaming Lips not do exactly the same thing in 2012, but with Kesha instead of Miley Cyrus and the result was an equally sh*tty album?
As for last year's worst albums
5. King Cresote - From Scotland with Love: Fell from a shortbread tin and got concussed on the way down. A bunch of dull songs about Caledonia and the like. He's Scottish you see, so here's a few songs about being from Scotland. The way King Cresote bangs on you'd think he was the first musician we've ever produced. Horribly outdated, and outwith a small bar on Stornaway, I don't see where his target demographic is.
4. Amerigo Gazaway - Yasiin Gaye: The Departure (Side One): An uninspired project that takes Black on Both Sides and remixes it to Marvin Gaye. Why? Who knows, who cares. This just makes you want to listen to the original and to never revisit this lazy excuse for music. Same category as whoever 'Chops and Screws' various hip-hop albums.
3. Michael Cera - True That: Getting a tad too old to play the socially awkward one in High School romcoms, Cera has a desperate stab at low fi folk to try and rekindle a modicum of relevance. The results are super bad.
2. Bonnie Prince Billy -Singer's Grave a Sea of Tongues: Never heard any of this guys heralded stuff. This was obviously a bad place to start. Mind numbing boredom.
1. Ghetts - Rebel with a Cause: Bunch of wannabe gangster poustering in the first half combined with terrible rapping and harsh, abrasive production that is like nails to chalkboard.
Second half Ghett's makes a Jez from Peep Show attempt at life coaching and tells everyone how he got his life together for his daughter. Would be quite funny if there was a shred of irony.
