With Pink Bubbles... they tried too hard to consciously NOT make Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 3. I remember reading the interviews, and they were just a bit sick of it all. And then Chameleon... They lost me for a good few years after that.

Forgot about Helloween's two most hated albums - Pink Bubbles Go Ape and Chameleon. I understand why some dislike them, after all PBGA came after the Keepers albums and Chameleon is barely metal. There are a couple of filler songs on Chameleon, but I enjoy the album quite a bit.

I really like Jugulator as well, don't remember anything about Demolition though.
I agree, Kingmaker and Dance in the Rain are among my favorites of their post-2000's songs, and there's some more good stuff on there. I just think it has too much filler.

I do too, including the live album. He's a fucking good singer. He's just not Rob Halford.

^ Jugulator is a great album though following album Demolition I didn't like as much. Still had a few good tracks though.
Megadeth's Super Collider doesn't get a lot of love but I think it's a great album. While it can't compete with their best it's nevertheless full of great songs. Edited by Nightfly - 27 Apr 2020 at 2:43pm |

Remembered another one, Razor's Custom Killing. My favorite Razor album and one of my favorite thrash albums, yet it's often considered their worst and many complaints towards the production. I love it, it has one of the best bass sounds in any thrash album, and M-Bro's drumming is fantastic.

I think Brown Album is a very close second! It's got such a unique sound, that not even another Primus album has.

These are my favourite albums by both these bands. They are also the first ones I got by both, so that might influence it somewhat.

I'm possibly the only person on the planet that thinks Brown Album is the best Primus album
Slayer's South Of Heaven and Megadeth's So Far So Good So What are both severely underrated, but I guess you couldn't say others don't like them per se. Same with Pantera's The Great Southern Trendkill I like Entombed's "Death n Roll" material way more than their first 2 albums. Same with Xysma. |

Found it!  It's surprising how your memory plays tricks. This one had an interview with Shihad, which I have posted here somewhere, and a review of Suburbia, which was basically 74 minutes of someone mowing a lawn.  While I was doing this I found I'd also reviewed the Miss Congeniality soundtrack, which was fucking dreadful!Edited by Vim Fuego - 26 Apr 2020 at 5:32pm |

^Good to know, no surprise with Roadrunner, I've heard more crap about them before (Though that's probably with most labels.) I got Deicide's debut, Insineratehymn, and Stench of Redemption all in a used bin a couple years ago, and thought it'd be a good way to check them out finally (Finding used albums from old school death metal bands isn't common around here). Thought the debut was okay, Stench of Redemption was just eh, and Insineratehymm just ended up being the one that I liked the best out of them. So I'd say for a obligational album, it worked out fine for me at least.
Like anyone would've needed a review of a mainstream pop album all over the radio anyway, the death metal's what would need some exposure. Plus I'd have a laugh at seeing such opposites on the same page.

No, it is not well liked! Insineratehymn and In Torment In Hell are widely regarded as Deicide's weakest albums, and rightly so. Glen Benton made not secret of it that Roadrunner were being dicks, and that these were contractual obligation albums banged out as fast as he could. I wrote a not-exactly-glowing review of it for the paper, which I must find and post here some time. Just mentioning such a thing upset some local church leaders because it was so blasphemous, and one of the photographers I worked with was a happy clappy Christian and had issues with it too. I remember reviewing this and Nile's Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka from my own collection, because all the record companies were sending me was fucking Spice Girls and Kylie Minogue! So those two piles of pop slop got full on death metal album reviews on the same page.
 Some local metalheads thanked me later because it was the only time they had ever seen metal in the paper. |

Deicide - Insineratehymn (Just going off of the awful RYM rating it has, any seasoned death metal fans let me know if it's actually well liked! It's the only Deicide album that's stuck with me, it's got some great grooves.)

Trivium's pretty hit or miss for me. They've got some albums I really like, and some that just bore me. The Sin and the Sentence was really good, I recommend checking it out if you haven't heard what they sound like these days.

Awake is my favorite DT album, how tastes differ! The album was quite unique when it came out, despite wearing its influences on its sleeves. Just as influential as I & W. BC & SW - I bought it when it came out, 3CD deluxe, kinda disappointing for me, although an improvement on the previous album Systematic Chaos, my least favorite back then. Now the UnAstonishing has taken its place.

Going to throw Trivium in here too, especially Ascendancy. Not a band I really follow any more but I do still enjoy that album from time to time and remember how hated they were by self described 'serious metalheads' in my online community of that time that album was released.
To this day I can't listen to Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr and hear the lyrics properly due to a rather infamous misheard lyrics video made by a Trivium hater that did the rounds at the time.

I don't know much about 1349 but I have listened to that album before (to see if it was as bad as most say) and was pleasantly surprised by it. The only other album I know from them is Massive Cauldron of Chaos which I thought channelled 2000-2002 period Immortal to near worship levels. Revelations is a much bolder sounding release from what I recall. I may give it another whirl actually.

I haven't tended to listen to the Dream Theater debut too much but it's far from my least favourite by them. I've always been a bit atypical with DT albums though. Like many I see Images and Words and Metropolis as their best, but find Awake very average. I also rate Black Clouds and Silver Linings highly but I remember at least at the time of its release that many seemed to run it down.
It's been a long time since I went through the DT discography though and it's possible that my opinions on a lot of the albums may have changed.
