Biggest dissappointing cd so far this year?

Post by OLP4AM »

#1 with a bullet for Dave Matthews new cd. The reason that they scrapped the Lillywhite sessions became evident when I played the cd.
Bart … "So, to win Gretta back I have to go to Toronto."

Homer ... "Canada? Why should we have to leave America to visit America Junior?"

OLP - Gravity. I'm afraid it's the my worst CD of the year so far. The others are outstanding though.

I strongly disagree.

Ummm...
Haven't had too many bombs this year.
Maybe System Of A Down's Toxicity or Radiohead's OK Computer.
I had more last year, most notably Live's V.
And I think that Gravity is the best new album I've bought this year.

My God people. I said this year. No Doubt was released last year, Radiohead was released 2 years ago. This year means 2002.

Elbow- Asleep In The Back

Ugh. I actually won it, so thankfully I didn't spend any money on it. And.....I think it came out this year....but I got it this year either way, so it counts.

The Get Up Kids - On a Wire

It was hyped beyond belief around here, and it let me down...
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Wow, was that CD hyped to death, I agree. 'Something To Write Home About' was their best CD in my opinion. - Megan

Oh I know, their best song has to be "I'll Catch You"

Gravity.
It saddens me to say it. I expected more.

Yeah, I gotta go with Gravity :| (no riots, please) but I don't buy that many CDs, so perhaps I shouldn't judge.
boo.

Same here. Gravity's actually the only CD from 2002 that I've bought. So it's the worst and the best.

Damn. I need to get shoping! HMV, here I come!

Yeah, in that case, Gravity wins for me because it's the only 2002 CD I've bought so far this year. I've bought a lot this year, just not recent things.
And additionally, the topic said "Biggest disappointing CD so far this year". I took that to mean the most disappointing CD I've bought this year, which does make sense.
