Well, sorta. Not the usual mainstream hype, I mean just the critical hype--Pitchfork et al. The reviews were so good, but I just didn't "get it." Just sound so "pop" to me.

I have a bunch of Springsteen I bought in the 70s and 80s that I can't stand.

I knew why I bought it at the time, but now they just sit there.

I knew i'd find you out.Kreator have they're moments too(for the worse generally).How did you cure the badly supressed metal tendencies then?

What's wrong with sounding so 'pop' now?Pitchfork exists only by name as far as i'm concerned.I've never bought an album because there was a 'hype' on the internet about it.The first time it will happen is because of the extremely and genuinely enthusiastic posts about Circle on here.

Simple, I bought an Anthrax LP.

Now we're entering dodgy territory.Confess,what else?

That's IT.

Ok,i'll let you get away with that last one.But it wont happen again,right?

Nothing wrong with a bit of Anthrax

"I am the law" *Moshes*

I can't say I have an album I regret buying.

However, I have to say I disagree about what most of you guys are saying about Funeral. I think it's pretty good.

I have to say Arcade Fire's Funeral is, indeed, an album (on vinyl, no less) that I felt I just had to have last year--and that I never really came to appreciate. I tried. I gave it several listens, and I just could not get into it.

The cover art is beautiful, though. So I'll keep it.

I haven't heard the Arcade Fire that much. The drummer is a friend of my brothers though

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

is another that just makes me go "What the hell was I thinking!!"

I also bought the first Pearl Jam LP.:o

In my defence, I hadn't heard them and just knew of the Mudhoney connection.

My friend is their PR in the Uk.My,i had to hide how much i loathe them as a band for such a long time.

"Rebellion (Lies)" is a decent indie track. The rest is a pile of oh-I-wanna-be-so-sensitive horse shit

i second that

So what do you do with albums you hate? Sell/trade them? Keep them?

1)Throw them in the bin
2)Use them as beermats(if they are cds)
3)Give them to charity shops
4)Flog them
5)Ebay them
6)Torture them
7)Burn them
8)Eat them

It's something I'm always on the fence about, whether to take my rejects into the used record store. The return is never very good--2 or 3 bucks at the most per record or CD for most stuff. I've given a few things away to people who want them, and there's more reward in that, actually.
