You're telling me Sympathy with the Devil doesn't have one of the catchiest basslines ever? And it's got some sweet backup vocals too...

Actually, I think the weak tracks on Let It Bleed are at the beginning, and I don't think Aftermath really has any weak tracks. BB just doesn't do anything for me.

I never got the big deal over Sympathy, bass line or backup vocals or not. It's decent, but nothing to write home about.

We've clearly got some disagreeing tastes then. I think Gimme Shelter might be the best Stones song ever.

There's not really any big deal about Sympathy for the Devil, it's just got an infectious beat and it isn't guitar-driven, which is pretty sweet.

The White album by The Beatles. Spare a handful of tracks, it really is just a cluster****.

Though I don't dislike it by any means, I find Revolver to be overhyped as an icon for the "album" format. I'm certainly not a stickler for the format, and I do appreciate a good cohesive one too. But the staunch "album as the only respectable musical document" preachers usually adore it, and I can't see how they can. An album that starts off with "Taxman," jumps straight into "Eleanor Rigby," waddles along to "Yellow Submarine," plods along to "Got To Get You Into My Life," and caps off with "Tomorrow Never Knows" is hardly a fantastic example of album-craft. In fact, it feels like I'm listening to a far-more enjoyable version of musical potluck, compared to the **** storm that is The White album.

I love Gimmie Shelter too; I guess I should have been more specific and said that Love In Vain and Country Honk are the tracks I don't care for.

Re: Sympathy For The Devil; I usually don't get into songs on the basis of their rhythms (which is why I don't appreciate much funk music), but I'm all for non-guitar driven songs. That track just doesn't do much for me, though I know I'm definitely in a very small minority here.

Well I should take your opinion into consideration considering you're clearly not biased about Metallica, Metallicafan27.

Let's see:

Lead Sails Paper Anchor - Atreyu
They went in a softer direction.

Steal This Album! - SOAD
I need an explanation?

All Rainbow releases after Dio left

All Rush releases after 1982 (no I haven't heard them all, but I've heard at least one track off each and I am not impressed)

The Great Southern Trendkill - Pantera (I don't really HATE it, but it's so sub-par for them)

FaSho 11-23-2008 12:16 PM

LSPA was Atreyu's second best for me :shycouch:

The 2.0 version is better.

I'm a pretty big Leonard Cohen fan but his 2001 album Ten New Songs was just awful. The thing that made it worse was the fact that I had been waiting for nine years for him to put out a new album and when he finally did it was this muzak-sounding crapfest. In retrospect, I guess the atrocious album cover design should've been a tip-off that the album sucked.
