Albums that make you think: What happened!?

The Angry Scotsman wrote: Another is "Lunar Strain" by In Flames. What on Earth happened to this band?  (Although I do like the Jester Race) I've played this album for friends who like In Flames and besides never hearing of it ever, they ask if it's really the same band and "what is this shit, what happened?" I happen to feel the same way, just about their later material

now my second post this is their 1st album. it was before they had Anders Frid�n on vocals. since it's their first album it can't be a wtf happened album

To me "Promised Land" was the last great QR album, but "Hear..." was just another change, yet they chose to keep that "Grunge" sound, even when Grunge was over a few years before.  Which is strange seeing they put Seattle on the map after Heart (and before The Accused). Queensryche really messed it up big time with their last album Dedicated to Chaos, one of the worst and uninspired albums, from a band I personally love.  True, even though I only like them up until their 1994 opus. Some cases, IMO: Evergrey every albums since Monday Morning Apocalypse;

I think Flots is way underrated. really really what the hell do u think is wrong with that masterpiece of an album? its one of my fav albums Huh? Which album? St. Anger or Flots? I'll take "When the Storm comes Down" any day of the week . Edit: Oh I see . . . No I meant that it seems that Flots album doesnt get recognition and many have skipped it. I actually think they put out solid albums all through their career . Sorry, its been a LONG time to visit this Post, the posts about Flots was in response to "Vic" if you look on the previous page. For all of us who have been disappointed with Queensryche, well we NOW know why dont we? -this past year (2012) .

thanks for clearing that up about the flots post

Bump.

Done it lots of times with lots of bands.

Metallica - The Black Album. And then Load, Re-Load, S&M, and St. Anger.
Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction
Death Angel - Act III
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky

Um, got distracted. I started writing this 45 minutes ago. What was the question again?

Running Wild, at least from The Brotherhood and maybe even Victory too, up until the latest one which is actually surprisingly decent.

And for a recent one:

Must echo the sentiments I see regarding The Blah Album. I was 21 at the time and it was the only time I was at the record store the morning of a release. I was back at the record store that afternoon to get my money back. Other things I've called it:
The Jock Album
The Bleached Album
Now it's just Meh-tallica

Other wut happenz albums:

Voivod - Angel Rat, then Negatron, then all The Newsted albums
Fates Warning - Parallels
Scatterbrain - Scamboogery
Black Sabbath - Born Again
