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.

Deleted album
 

I deleted "The Beatles" by the Beatles. I found the album to be hard on the ears.

^^ what he said

'Mathcore' would literally not exist if not for Botch, or it would at least be drastically different than it is now.

Upon growing out of my teen stupidity and cutting off my long hair, I deleted Count Your Blessings - Bring Me The Horizon. But then, who wouldn't?

I literally don't think I've ever deleted an album. I always have this vague sense that someday even albums that bore me to tears might finally click with me.

All albums by Count Raven apart from Storm Warning, which is imho their only good album, the others are extremely mediocre and boring.

Hardcore bands I mean and to me Botch twisted that sound but not to my liking. Grabbing a Hardcore song, breaking it up and putting it back together just doesn't appeal to me. The 'mathcore' sound is too erratic for me and doesn't do what I want from the sound I prefer.

Ah well. To use an American idiom; Different Strokes for Different Folks.
No big deal.

On topic: I have more external hard drive memory than I'll ever need so I haven't deleted shit so far.

To conserve hard drive space, I've deleted Phish's "Hampton Comes Alive" because I have that in hard copy, and don't really need that to be in FLAC format on my computer.

Decision
 

How dare you.

Plain White T's "All That You Need"

Because honest to god I have no idea what it was doing there in the first place. Leftovers from high school that never properly got wastebasketed, I guess

:embarrassed:

I deleted my entire Metallica discography from my hard-drive because everything I had I had on cd anyway and I barely listen to them these days so it was just taking up space.

I don't delete many albums but the last album I completely deleted from my music collection was The Airborne Toxic Event - All At Once for the simple reason that it was shit.

Comadre "A Wolf Ticket"

the mp3 file on the second track was messed up... so I re-downloaded it :D

:p:

Few weeks ago I deleted all Air Supply mp3 folder on my hard disk... No hard feeling, it's just too old and very rarely listen to them. My hard disk is already full, requires some refreshing

Basso Profondo From Old Russia.

I haven't been able to listen to anything for awhile, but today I was. I mainly got it for a short clip I saw on YouTube and as it turns out, the song that was featured in the video wasn't even on this CD. But now I know the right one. (Crazy part at 3:00)

LOVE by Angels And Airwaves. Why? Because apart from some of the instrumental music, it absolutely 100% awful music. Especially with Tom Delonge at the mic.

I don't delete things from my hard drive very often, but the last thing I deleted was Incredibad by The Lonely Island, for two reasons, one the version I had was really loud when it converted to MP3, so it blew my eardrums out whenever it came on my iPod and 2 after the second listen it just really wasn't funny anymore.

i downloaded status quo's greatest hits for my dads birthday party
the next morning that sh*t was gone!

your dad musta been very disappointed

Hail to the Thief - Radiohead
I don't listen to as much Radiohead as I used to and I have several other albums. Decided to delete this one to save some room. I like this album but it is also super depressing. There was a time when I could handle this level of depression but then I was just like... WHY?

All albums by Veruca Salt. I just wasn't feeling the music and I didn't feel comfortable with it on my hard drive.

Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt) - Peter Gabriel - 1980

"Games Without Frontiers" is possibly the worst song of that whole decade. It is really, really horrible. That crap about "whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle" is just so shameful I can't bear hearing that album ever again. The rest of it doesn't rise above insipid. I strongly advise anyone else who bought that album out of reverence for Genesis sell it on Ebay immediately.

wha? PG3 is one of his best solo albums

about Games - don't you understand "satire"?

Listen man, there's a difference between good "satire" and name dropping dictators and imagining them as little children playing with bonfires. That's just insipid. If he wanted to ridicule them, he shouldn't have portrayed them as innocent children, because that doesn't make them evil. I recommend sitting down and listening to those lyrics thoughtfully and impartially, and just think about the concept. "War without tears"? Don't you think that kids would be more likely to shed "tears" than adults? I suppose there had to be something to rhyme with "frontiers", but that's no excuse. It doesn't make sense whatsoever. I can't think of anything more contemptible than an album filled with half-understood political nonsense.
And apart from those laughably clumsy inarticulate verses, don't you just hate the way that he got Kate Bush to sing "jeux sans frontiers" in that repulsive breathy gasp? It gets stuck in my head for ages.

There, the above paragraph is objective proof that "Games Without Frontiers" sucks.

For all that, I still think "Solsbury Hill" is a good song (if a little overplayed), and Peter Gabriel is still an interesting person (despite being an awful rock star).

one man's blah blah is another man's solid gold

Yep. I personally love "Solsbury Hill" no matter what the internet says.
And yes, I do seem a bit full of venom at times. What came over me?
