Last Album You Deleted From Your Hard Drive And Why?
 

I am sure that every once in a while most of us go through our hard drives and delete music for precious space or duplication but what about those albums you though were great upon first listen but just a few months later listened again and thought to yourself "that's not that good really" ?

I deleted this 2 days ago:

Botch - We Are The Romans. Upon first listen I loved the energy and aggressiveness but then I listened again and found it lacked focus completely. After track three or four I am begging for the band to at least hold onto a riff or tempo for more than 30 seconds so it can burn itself into my head even a little and I became bored. It is really just a slight variation of countless bands that have come before and just because they are technically good doesn't mean that they are automatically interesting.

i hardly ever delete any music

if i don't like it, i just keep it there in case i come back to it in the future and find that i like it

i did however, delete disc 2 of the Who's A Quick One, but that's just because it ain't really "disc 2" and are just the bonus tracks already on "disc 1"

I don't even know if I should post in here given the amount of music I don't end up keeping.

I deleted a 2010 release, Commitment by "Seal". Not only from my computer, I tossed the CD as well.

Wow! I was really disappointed:( I listened to the album three or four different times trying to find something that would catch my attention, but just kept coming up with nothing at all I could relate to musically.

I like Seals 1991 debut release/single "Crazy". He just never seemed to do anything after that though, besides his single "Kiss From A Rose" (which is O..K for a ballad).

"Crazy" is a bad ass single!

I would delete the songs that I listen once and don't think they attract me. For those I keep, I would delete them someday for I have been listening them for a long time and I feel that they can't give me the feeling like the first time. But, always I would find them somewhere again and at that time they are different for me. They are familar and new for me at the same time. I would once again be moved by them and try to listen to them again.

Music for me is always cyclic.

Straight Line Stitch - To Be Godlike. I decided to grab their whole discography and I just couldn't take all the screaming from their debut so I ended up chucking it.

Why?

I've downloaded so much Hip-Hop right the last few months so I've started to delete the few that I didn't deem essential to keep. That was one of them.

What?! Botch got together in the mid-90s and are pretty much the cream of the crop of that era of the Hydra Head label. They were my favorite anyway. I like American Nervoso more but We Are the Romans is a great album.

I'm not sure exactly who you mean by 'the countless bands that have come before' but whoever they are, I guess I like Botch's 'slight variation' on them quite a bit. For me this album is a gem hidden in the pile of crap that was released around 2000 AD.
