What’s an album you thought you would like at first but ended up disliking after listening to it?

Villains by Queens of the Stone Age.

…like clockwork (the previous album) is top 3 for me and may be my all time favorite at any given moment. But the follow-up was just not what I was looking for.

Every other queens of the stone age record is an instant classic. They’re probably my favorite band and I genuinely dislike half their stuff.

Yes!! Exactly this one for me too. I love Clockwork so much, this was weird.

So glad to not be alone on this. It felt unfocused. I think working with Mark Ronson gave Homme a bit too much leeway to make an album that tried to hard to be cool.

It somehow went over the ironic/unironic line that Queens has always danced around.

Like Clockwork has moments that veered towards camp and cheese but never felt insincere or cloying.

I only like the albums they did with dave grohl on drums, the rest just don’t seem to hit for me.

I’m pretty sure that’s only songs for the deaf and a few songs on like clockwork. I can’t get into any of their other stuff.
