What was your most disappointing album purchase?


Since we have been listing “best debut albums”, I thought I might ask which albums members purchased, based upon one song, and with the expectation that other songs on the album would be good, but that album was a big disappointment.

I will start with the album by the group, Six Pence None The Richer, that had their big hit “Kiss Me”.   The rest of that album was trash!  Nothing I wanted to listen to and I found it hard to believe the same group had done the hit song.

This question might seem similar to “One Hit Wonders”, but I think it is different, as usually those groups made other music that was at least listenable.   My question refers to albums that had one listenable song, period!

I don’t think it was overrated ever. I think it was underrated. It’s gotten almost as bad a rap as Their Satanic Majesties Request. If only you could hear what I hear with your ears.
It took a while for The Flaming Lips to grow on me. Yoshimi maybe my favorite. Got the German pressing. SQ is fantastic!
I have listened to Exile On Main Street many times and have multiple issues of it, but I do think it is overrated. It may be because there is always a story about it. Recorded wherever, recording sessions were whatever. It is never about the music. It always has something else attached to it. It became mythical. Lots of stories, a few good songs, many fillers, horrible sound quality.
