ah cut up and all these lights and
cameras ah even some of the greatest
acts can have a disappointing release
somebody’s missing friend
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
bad albums by good bands
I’m just so depressed I just can’t seem
to get out the stuff we should qualify
this list by saying we don’t necessarily
think these albums are bad
however they have either been penned by
fans or critics or are just not up to
snuff considering the other material by
these well-respected acts number 10
make-believe Weezer
sometimes all in album needs is a hit
single to become successful
that’s all make believe needed users
fifth studio album make believe gain
traction thanks to the album’s
successful first single Beverly Hills
which received constant airplay and
eventually led to a Grammy nomination
however despite that success
make-believe was not received well by
fans or critics as many disliked the new
more mainstream sound so she starts to
wonder can you blame her
but unlike many other entries on this
list that didn’t seem to hinder sales
number nine Songs of Innocence you too
this album came after a dormant period
of five years during which you too
released no new material
since that was the band’s longest ever
gap between albums they decided to do
something to compete with more
contemporary acts I’m sure so the next
one help you on home the album surprised
iTunes users by mysteriously appearing
in the music libraries of over 500
million customers via Apple’s iCloud
feature music so I can exaggerate
Songs of Innocence became one of u2’s
worst selling albums proving that no
matter how much hype you have behind
your band people recognize a bad album
number eight relapse Eminem must have
just blacked out again
now that get the life of a rapper is
hard King
relapse the result of a four-year hiatus
during which mmm suffered from writer’s
block and an addiction to sleeping
medication was released as the rapper’s
sixth album crack a bottle
let your body waddle don’t act like a
zombie mama dada Oh bitches hoppin in my
garage the record confronts many
controversial topics like drug rehab
relapse and the return of Slim Shady
critics were mixed on the album calling
it lacking and repetitive Jessica Alba
what address on my metro rouses I just
made a mess in my transit and then
wonder why I keep wrestling Elvis no one
help I’ll be back in his pink out sir
unlike other entries on this list fans
actually loved relapse and five million
copies were sold worldwide I know one

tough act to follow copy one tough act
to follow
number seven dr. dre presents the
aftermath dr. Dre your mother is on the
planet earth is horrible sorry
the only compilation album on our list
dr. Dre presents the aftermath was Dre’s
fourth attempt at a compilation album
once deciding to leave his success
behind with Death Row Records Frey
created a record label of his own
aftermath entertainment through which he
released this anthology the support shoe
keep it true cuz please brothers always
those the top of the pencils my warmest
independent making dough by the king
slow samba she still dead despite the
change fans did not take kindly to the
album only giving praise to the
individual singles
westcote critics didn’t approve of the
album either as the aftermath received
mixed to poor reviews
the
my life whenever be the same number six
invincible Michael Jackson the Big Apple
even legends sometimes have slightly
unsuccessful albums invincible was
Michael Jackson’s final album while he
was alive and his first filled with
entirely new material since 1991 that’s
a long period for fans to wait for new
tracks from the King of Pop was it worth
it well invisible was commercially
successful as the singles charted on
Billboard however critics were mixed on
the album as they didn’t think it
tackled its ideas of love and media /
social criticism successfully but I’m
speechless
that’s how you be
number five dirty work The Rolling
Stones
dirty work The Rolling Stones
20th album released in the United States
was the beginning of a decline for the
stones the relationship between frontman
Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards
deteriorated during production of the
album causing rifts among all members of
the band
upon the records release the fans
enjoyed the new material which helps
dirty work go platinum in the United
States
critics on the other hand did not enjoy
it with many complaining that the album
didn’t stand up to the stones previous
releases
shorty come on number four Nostradamus
nas Oh me back let you over text
the follow-up release to nas’s previous
album IM Nostradamus is made up of
leftover tracks from that records
recordings however it does include some
new material as nas recorded additional
tracks after some of the original tunes
were leaked onto the Internet
Nostradamus is generally considered by
fans and critics alike to be nas’s least
successful effort across his discography
now this is your mom your good luck
charm pushing you to do no wrong but
this didn’t hamper the commercial
success of the album as it spawned two
charting singles and was eventually
certified platinum one man only the
mind’s eye can understand that I’m
faster ESCO ESCO coffee is not to call
me a bummer and it inside – but what
cares Eiffel praise
number three self-portrait Bob Dylan
Alberta let your hair hang low Alberta
hello
sometimes artists get tired of the
constant praise and just want to have
some fun
self-portrait Bob Dylan’s tenth studio
album is a collection of pop folk and
country hits covered by you guessed it
Bob Dylan
you just whatever therefore though it
was considered a joke album by some many
fans and critics didn’t get the joke and
bashed it completely both diehards and
professionals gave self-portrait
extremely poor reviews stating that the
record was way below the standards of
Dylan’s work in the 1960s just get off
his back why don’t you
number two Loulou Metallica and Lou Reed
magnets said be balmy Metallica fans
didn’t think Metallica could release
another bomb like st. anger
but then came Lulu I attract
of the heart
the collaborative album between
Metallica and Lou Reed is a spoken word
album based upon plays by Frank wet
accan where Reed reads the lyrics over
backing instrumentals by Metallica
downing every meaning you the man
dragged up the bullet chain
despite being unique conceptually Lulu
was not received well by critics and it
was panned across the board for worship
of someone who actively despises fan
reception was even worse as they felt
betrayed and some even sent death
threats to read harsh
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
your dragon
it’s been broken sweet
out in his sir
you
number one Chinese Democracy Guns and
Roses
after ten years some bands should not
release new material Chinese Democracy
the sixth album from American hard rock
band Guns N’Roses
was an attempt to climb back into the
spotlight after 15 years without new
material
the album was actually a moderate
success with critics and was eventually
certified platinum but fans were
appalled
while the records initial release was
mired by unimpressive sales and littered
with controversy this did not prevent
Chinese democracy from performing well
worldwide later on go figure
