Yes.
Although, I wouldn't say one of the worst of all time. But really, it's worse than all of their other stuff, even Pablo Honey.

Maybe not the worst of all time but definitely the most boring. I have more trouble sitting through that record than any other at the top of my head. Just nothing interesting or exciting about it whatsoever. Yeah I like Pablo Honey better than In Rainbows... at least Pablo Honey, in a big dumb rock way, has some energetic moments.

Savage Clone · 04.30.2009, 07:23 PM

The Cure
Pink Floyd
Verve ("A Storm In Heaven" is easily among my favorite psychedelic LPs of the 1990s, but what they turned into.....is not)
Ride (see above, replace with "Nowhere")
Flaming Lips
Laibach
Hawkwind
Metallica

Yes, on In Rainbows I feel like turning it off when I reach Bodysnatchers.

atsonicpark · 04.30.2009, 07:24 PM

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Finally, someone who feels exactly like I do!!

mikec · 04.30.2009, 07:25 PM

Obvious one but Smashing Pumpkins circa 96/97.

Gish = Amazing album
SD = Amazing Album
MCIS = Overrated shit
Adore = Amazing Album
Machina = Over produced shit
Machina II = Pretty good
Zeitgeist = Political shit

Every Hardcore band that didn't break up after 2 albums max (except for Black Flag who went on to make excellent hard rock records like Slip It In). Same thing goes for Death Metal & Grindcore.

-Rolling Stones
-Napalm Death
-Death
-Christian Death
-Meat Puppets
-Cabaret Voltaire

She just lost it with the Greatest.
Also, In Rainbows is a very fine album, a firm step in the right direction again after Hail to the Thief (which was indeed shitty). Kid A on the other hand (while being an interesting transition record) isn't the magnum opus the American press tried make it.

The Cure is probably the most dramatic example. Other cases include Sigur Ros (there was a time when it wasn't just Coldplay with Icelandic lyrics), A Silver MT. Zion (if only he didn't sing) & REM.

joe11121 · 04.30.2009, 07:54 PM

I've only heard 'Lived In Bars' from The Greatest, and I fucking love that song. I haven't heard Jukebox or her new EP yet either.

after moon pix. that is to say it was after moon pix that her music started to move away from the qualities i found enjoyable to listen to.

Kuwa_Slayne · 04.30.2009, 08:20 PM

I'm not sure how "amazing" these bands were/are, but I still lament them turning shitty: Verve, Mercury Rev, Monster Magnet and The Apples in Stereo.

Mercury Rev has been a huge disappoinment since "Boces". "See You On the Other Side" was a huge let down for me, but I learned to like it. "Deserter's Songs" was okay, but things just weren't the same.

I really dug Monster Magnet's "Spine of God", "Tab 25" and their S/T ep, but I can't listen to anything after that. "Superjudge" has some okay tunes, but everything after that is pure shit.

The Apples lost me with "The Velocity of Sound" and I haven't bothered to check out "New Magnetic Wonder".

atsonicpark · 04.30.2009, 08:20 PM

I thought velocity of sound was great!

Really? Maybe I should revisit it. At the time it reminded me too much of the radio-friendly pop-punk that was going on at that time.

ZEROpumpkins · 05.01.2009, 03:09 AM

Metallica of course
Flaming Lips
Mercury Rev
Sunny Day Real Estate (but they're back now with the original lineup)
Smashing Pumpkins are another obvious one

100% agree with that. How can a band that wrote Nod Scene or Zodiac Lung become so awful so quickly?

Kuhb · 05.01.2009, 06:35 AM

Frank Black?

C'mon, Chan.
We want our lush back.

wasnt she always shitty??? (ducks under nearest rock)...

(sticks head up above rock to shout out)
butthole surfers - everything after hairway is rubbish
mercury rev- everything after boces with the exception of see you is boring twaddle
flaming lips- everything after clouds is boring twaddle and yoshimi coupled with at war are possibly the worst 70 minutes of music ive ever had the mispleasure of enduring....
interpol- stunning debut, ok second album, appalling third album

and you will know us by the trail of the dead- first 2 or 3 releases were damn fine and then they dissappeared up their own artyarses..the new one is ok tho....

the cure- friday im in love vs pornography...enough said.....
therapy?- amazing debut (babyteeth) turned into converse squeltching stadium rockers or a poor mans ac.dc very quickly, now just pantomime....

new order- they should have never gone to ibiza...that killed them....

lush- superb dayglo showgaze to ultra hip indie pop.....
