Ouch, got burned by a bad album/artist?
 

I know that I'm not the only one that this has happened to, you hear a single, you buy a cd and it sucks-ouch. A waste of money, I know, I know-who still buys cds-well, I do. And I'm sure that I'm not alone. I've recently got a napster subscription and have been using that as my screening process which is cool because I can check out different genres and artists and really explore music without shelling out tons of loot. Long story short-I'm now jaded but getting over it.

Burned by:

Mary J Blidge- No Drama
Phish-I don't even remember which cd, because I prompty gave it away
Dalvin Degrates- Title not worth remembering
Alicia Keys- Songs in the key of life (I lot of people will disagree with me on this)
R.Kelly- The double cd R
Zwan- title unimportant
Camp Lo- I think they only had one cd anyway

obviously therapy is working because I have successfully blocked out a lot of past unpleasantness-- but which artists/cds have burned you with bad albums

I wouldnt know because i dont own any bad albums. ;)

Im very tasteful when it comes to shopping for cds. :D



EDIT:Ok, i have one, Kid Rocks Devil Without A Cause, but i was a stupid little kid. :(

Ha! c'mon dood, you gotta have more than that! Unless you just have too much pride...

I once bought a Antipop Consortium CD Years ago and it wasnt what I expected....saw them live before the cd purchase and they killed it-oh well
hmmm, lets see, Im sure there are more, but I can't remember

I bought that a Coldplay album based on "Don't Panic." Horrible decision.

i bought funeral for a friends casually dressed. i want my $20 back, and to beat them for being so lame.

Im serious, Kid Rock taught me to choose my CDs wisely.

The nice thing about today is you can hear song samples of most CDs on the internet, or listen to them on headphones at a store before buying.

Back in the day of vinyl records and no internet, lots of people were just SOL. If you didn't know anybody who owned or had heard a particular record, buying it was a "hit or miss" proposition. Many stores back then didn't offer the capability of previewing a recording with headphones. Nowadays it's the norm.

The cd that has disappointed me most recently was Royksopps Understanding-Melody AM was awesome so of course I get excited about their new cd. Well...I had no idea that the cd was going to be more 'Pop-y' I mean there are a couple of good songs but I wasn't expecting it to be the way it was--the place I bought it from buys cds back but I was like, I'll just keep it--it will be my albatross --and there are like 4 alright/good songs.

Yeah, although lots of record stores do have listening stations.
The internet and artist websites do give the nice option of checking outa track, and I heard that Napster lets you listen to entire tracks before buying them. I think its some type of subscription concept.

A few years ago:

Andrew WK - I Get Wet

Judas Priest - Jugulator

I didn't feel too bad about it though, I got it at a used cd store for like $1.50. It had cool cover art, but the lyrics look like they were written by some cheap horror movie director.

Deftones - self titled.

I was expecting songs like Change (In The House Of Flies) but was highly disappointed.

Have to agree.Both the Owens albums were pretty crap to the point they didn't even sound like Priest anymore.
The only songs that were passable in my opinion were Burn In Hell and Cathedral Spires.
The latest album is back to traditional Priest with the return of Halford

naah. bitch burned me wif gonhorrea tho. had to kill that bitch, ya feel?

****ing dirt... hilarious.

-junior senior

-weird little boy

Dert mcgirt has been reincarnated! You derty ass fool...

I seem to own that for some reason too.

I have no f*cking clue how it got there.I`ll assume an ex left it

my chemical romance - three cheers for sweet revenge
i really liked the songs helena and i'm not okay (i promise)
to me the rest of the album sucked
and it really sucks for me to cause most of the time nowa days i burn albums and this one time i was like meh i'll buy a album and thats what i got along with iron maidens - death on the road album.. which by the way i love.. so at least out of the two albums i liked one.. but day not beign able to bring back albums once there open in case of stealing to burn!!! :o(

my chemical romance seems like some crappy ass nu school emo.....
sorry sabrina if you really liked em, but mtv and commercial radio killed it....

no i don't really like that much.. but those two song si really liked.. they pulled me in but once i heard the rest of the album.. and took a listen to there first album i was saddley turned away completely.. cause they suck!..

The Thrice CD. It was a waste of my time downloading it.

If that counts.

i agree the thrice cd was a waste of time to download... it was complete bull****.. i think it was bull**** that the record companies wasted all of that money to put out so many copies of the record.. did they think it was good or something.. :laughing:

Bull****? Id like to see you write a song better then one of that album, oh wait you can't your to busy crying about your ex and ripping of posts right?

If I got paid the money they did...I could crap better songs than that CD. I have nothing against that band. I love the band. But that CD sucked. Period.

I see, i liked it alot and think it was something diffirent but i can understand people not liking it, but saying its bulls*it when you listen to cold is dumb and SabrinaMaher is pissing me off with her just re writer what the above posted said posts.

same.

Oh, i bought the new every time i die CD.
Damn, it sucked.

FFAF was another one that was downloaded and sucked. I've gotten to the point where I have to download it before I buy them so I don't become seriously disappointed.

And agreed with Alexisonfire on the one above too. Hot Damn! was enjoyable though.

hey i just didn't repeat what IamAlejo said i added more..
and the songs on the album were not that great.. and i can't write that good of songs so lets not even go there :o)

HAHAHHAHAH
No you can't, ive read your writing.
As i said before nearly all your posts are spam or your repeating someone wording it diffirent and "adding more" its getting stupid and annoying.
61 one posts per day? chill out you didn't even register a week ago.

The Green Album by Weezer, completely worthless.

meh...lead us to reason - the black maria. i bought it thinking it would be a LOT better than it was.

^I bought that :( sucked.
I bought the armor for sleep album, i suppose its okay.
But damn, that singer needs to learn something called passion.
His voice is so boring and monotoned i got bored with the album after a day.
