Both Load and Reload by Metallica. I had just discover The Black Album and was hoping for more of the same. I understand that some folks like em, but they just don’t do anything for me.
Rel-Load in particular had a lot of songs that I felt were half baked. Some of those songs should have spent more time in the cutting room floor and didn’t need to be as long as they were. They either needed to make those songs shorter or make them more interesting.
Nick Cave albums are very bipolar to me. I love murder ballads, no more shall we part, lyre of Orpheus/abattoir blues, but hate his grinder man stuff and the Higgs Boson blues.
The merci seat is better by Johnnie Cash.
I still must listen the new album, but I’m kind of torn as I don’t want to hate it.
Exciter - when DM fell off their cliff.
The new Billie Eilish album for example. I liked specifically Happier Than Ever and the new one doesn’t catch the same vibe.
Also Rat Wars by Health looked initially exactly like my thing, but fell ultimately flat on the first listen.
Idles newest album was absolutely terrible. A complete change of sound and not a single moment on the whole album that went hard.
