(Sorry, PissMeOff!)

Ok, I don't hate this one, but if What She Said wasn't on it, I'd probably never play it. A lot of the tracks seem like half-realized ideas that would later be perfected on The Queen Is Dead.

nice pick. i concur

:yikes:
Seriously?
That's their second best album IMO
Barbarism Begins At Home, Meat Is Murder, What She Said, and That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore really make that album the masterpice it is.

Barbarism is ok, but it goes on way too long and doesn't really go anywhere (I've heard a live version that's a bit better but still nothing special). The title track is sort of forgetable. It's not as awful as some people say, but it's not the great album closer that Suffer Little Children was. That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore has its moments, but the part about "people who feel so very lonely their only desire is to die" bit kills me, and again, it sounds like an early prototype for I Know It's Over.

I won't go into How Soon Is Now. :)

Trivium's 'Shogun'.
I just don't get that album, I mean... eugh!

I thought Barbarianism was a great song, Meat is Murder is actually the only Smiths album I like, probably because it's so different from everything else they've done.

Anyway.

Ummagumma - Pink Floyd... I'm only referring to the studio side of course, I don't know what they were thinking with this one.

Everything between 90125 and The Ladder - Yes... Some of the most horrifying pop filth you'll ever find.

Medulla - Bjork... I love Bjork and how she does something completely different, but there is a point where she tries too hard at being weird, and this is it, I don't know if it's the a cappella gimmick or the fact that she actually gets political here, but this album is just too heavy handed for me.

We Can't Dance - Genesis... Barf.

In Through the Out Door - Led Zeppelin... Yeah, they tried something different, I'll give them credit for that. But they tried so many styles with this album, and they just fail miserably, everything from the clumsy pseudo prog of Carouselambra and the stock rockabilly of the incredibly awful Hot Dog to the pukey soft rock of All Of My Love and the horrible attempt at samba Fool in the Rain, which sounds like something from the Weekend at Bernies 2 soundtrack.

No? Its one of Pink Floyd's most brilliant albums.

If by brilliant you mean completely unlistenable sludge mascerading as surrealism then yes.

Wow I think it's their best. They really came through musically on this one.
