sometimes we have so much anticipation
for an album only to be let down welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
disappointing albums
for this list we revisited the work of
popular artists to find the albums that
fell short of our expectations
these aren’t necessarily the worst
albums by these artists but the
full-length releases that disappointed
fans the most in comparison to the
amount of hype they were receiving at
the time of release
you would say to get excited but in this
case maybe proceed with caution
number ten lasers Lupe Fiasco Lupe
Fiasco impressed critics and audiences
alike with Lupe Fiasco’s food and liquor
because of its socially conscious
relatable lyrics and slick memorable
beats push
push coast therefore it’s strange that
you would make the mistake of doing just
the opposite two albums later his third
album lasers had beats that were too
conventional and uninteresting
to make matters worse the album’s lyrics
did not have the same intelligence and
wit as his past releases gang hurts are
acquitted and reversed no friends to the
scene while seeing you first fans were
so unimpressed that Fiasco himself
offered to destroy any dislike copies of
the album with a real laser we scared of
almost everything afraid to even tell
the truth for scared of what you think
of me I’m scared of even telling you
number nine Weezer the green album
Weezer
with their self-titled Blue Album and
Pinkerton Weezer established themselves
as an important rock band that inspired
nerds and guitar fans alike so can
anyone explain why this album was so
lackluster in comparison
while the hooks are catchy the green
album feels heavy on filler and doesn’t
quite have the nerdy exfilled lyrics of
past albums
the green album received fairly positive
reviews but fans didn’t feel the same
sentiment
the masses might like it but Weezer fans
didn’t exactly flock to this island in
the Sun in droves
number eight no line on the horizon you
to choose big kiss wins with interest
you two have made some less-than-stellar
albums in their career but who can even
remember no line on the horizon while
their previous albums benefited from the
experimentation with different genres of
music
this album felt too much like their
previous albums only packed with duds
instead of songs you secretly think are
awesome
while critics were divided fans weren’t
impressed and as a result the album
sales were far less than their previous
ones
but hey at least this album wasn’t
forced on you by iTunes
number seven Mylo Xyloto coldplay when
she was just she is one of the most
successful bands of the new millennium
Coldplay became known for their safe
with melodic alt rock sound and after
the critically successful fan favorite
viva la vida it felt like Coldplay was
at the top of their game
unfortunately the 2011 album veered
toward a more pop influenced sound
leaving many fans scratching their heads
the album has been criticized for being
too grandiose and trying too hard to
please the mainstream audiences
Mylo Xyloto was a commercial success and
generally liked by critics but fans
couldn’t help but to be disappointed by
such a drastic change in sound
I wander around from town to town number
six
self-portrait Bob Dylan and all the
people say there goes some more in the
days of 49 by 1970 Bob Dylan had created
some of the most popular and influential
albums ever made and was a living icon
so what a nosedive self-portrait was
critics panned the album for poor
production and for Dylan’s country
inspired singing that didn’t mesh with
the music at all on top of that the
album lacked focus and contained too
many covers why is Bob Dylan covering
Paul Simon songs
Dylan later stated that he didn’t take
the album very seriously and that he
wanted to shake off the shackles of his
stellar reputation
it nearly worked
number five st. anger Metallica quite
possibly the most famous heavy metal
band in history Metallica made its
reputation for its heavy fast-paced and
angry but melodic music
this
arriving six years after reload st.
anger just felt like noise uninspired
melodies buzzed out guitars a complete
lack of kirk hammett guitar solos and a
snare drum that sounds like it came from
a fisher-price kit all combined to leave
metallica sounding like new metal
producer Bob Rock said that he wanted
the album to sound like garage rock but
that’s what the hives are for not
Metallica
number four one hot minute Red Hot Chili
Peppers
following an acclaimed album like blood
sugar sex Magik is no easy task for any
bag but when guitarist John Frusciante
departed mid-tour Red Hot Chili Peppers
were destined for trouble their
follow-up album one hot minute had
deeper meaningful lyrics but musically
it was lacking as replacement guitarist
dave navarro’s metal edge didn’t exactly
fit in with the band’s funky sound
Navaro and vocalist anthony kiedis never
quite meshed either resulting in a pack
of songs that sound unsexy unfunctional
number three Chinese Democracy Guns and
Roses
Chinese democracy took in the Taurus Li
long time to create with production
costs totaling 13 million dollars the
most ever spent on a rock album
you would think these facts would mean
this would be one of the best albums
ever made right wrong while some critics
found something to like about it most
others weren’t as nice calling it
overproduced and too ambitious for its
own good
fans weren’t happy either and it fell
far short of sales expectations add in
that only Axl Rose remained from the
band’s original classic lineup and you
sir have yourself a dud
number two be here now oasis
with their album what’s the story
Morning Glory oasis earned worldwide
success with one of the most iconic rock
albums of the 90s and were destined to
be the new Beatles however the songs on
be here now were too overblown and
didn’t have the same heart as their
previous albums
we’re used to hearing relatable
working-class lyrics but this was not
true for be here now
by now the Gallagher brothers were
rivaling the Davies brothers in the
getting along department hard drugs had
entered the picture and Noah faced bouts
of writer’s block resulting in this
massive misfire
before we reveal our top pick here are
some honorable or in this case
dishonorable mansions I’m gonna try to
squash it it’s too late to stop it
there’s a certain line you just don’t
cross any coffee
State remember me like John Lennon
buried annoying no pick number one the
dog father Snoop Doggy dog
it’s the home of the day I’m back up in
Yazoo Vigo GG I represent huh leading up
to this album dr. Dre had parted ways
with death row records while Snoop was
charged for the murder of a rival gang
member though cleared of the charges
Snoop Dogg found himself without Drake
leading to the dog father lacking the
same production values that made doggy
style such a hit steps to the stage in
yg boy stay let’s say a few rhymes to
make your girl wanna take some bangs
meanwhile returns off by snoops
references to drugs sex and violence
shit bitches is colder when got his gang
tight in 1840 mom’s Angela their
disappointment showed when this album
sold significantly less than doggy style
with first week sales hitting a little
more than half of those for his debut
I’m a tit dog I thought were cool to
what students say cannot be down champ
racing
like a web full step after getting
rejected tight run up the set
