A List of Big Disappointments
By an Amazon.com customer
Stand UpStand Up by Dave Matthews Band
Buy new: $19.97 / Used from: $3.95
And I thought the "Everyday" album sucked! This is one of THE BIGGEST disappointments I've ever heard! There's maybe one or two tolerable tracks on this CD. And DualDisc format SUCKS!!!
Heart & SoulHeart & Soul by Joe Cocker
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $3.70
I love Joe Cocker's scratchy voice and his music but this album is proof that he's going downhill.
Life in Slow MotionLife in Slow Motion by David Gray
Buy used from: $1.55
I loved "White Ladder" and all his albums before that, but it seems fame is affecting Mr. Gray for the worst.
Cold RosesCold Roses by Ryan Adams & the Cardinals
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $4.85
I loved "Gold," "Love is Hell," and tracks off of his earliest solo album "Heartbreaker" but this "return" to country is not welcome at all.
Out of the VeinOut of the Vein by Third Eye Blind
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $7.68
Their self-titled album rocked and "Blue" rocked even more but "... Vein" was drained of any life and good songwriting.
Hotel PaperHotel Paper by Michelle Branch
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.01
I loved her debut album but, like so many artists with sophomore albums, this one (with the exception of maybe two tracks) fell flat.
Feels Like HomeFeels Like Home by Norah Jones
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.59
This one simply didn't have the magic or passion of "Come Away with Me." Although it was a nice attempt, I hope her next album succeeds (in terms of songwriting).
Hail to the ThiefHail to the Thief by Radiohead
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.75
A lot of people compared this album to "The Bends" but I think they've been listening to that "Kid A" crap too much. It sounds NOTHING like their previous GOOD music. I'm starting to lose faith.
In Between Now and ThenIn Between Now and Then by O.A.R.
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $7.95
I love these guys but this album simply didn't do anything for me. It was a bit disappointing. Luckily, they just released "Stories of a Stranger" and made up for it.
When The Pawn...When The Pawn... by Fiona Apple
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.28
OK. After her rant on the AMAs, a lot of people gave her crap but I loved her first album and her newest one is pretty good. But this album just plain blows!
Sheryl CrowSheryl Crow by Sheryl Crow
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $0.01
This was the beginning of the end for Crow! Her debut album was SO great! But this one (and all the others following) is just a piece of radio-friendly pop junk with no real emotion behind it!
Weezer (Green Album)Weezer (Green Album) by Weezer
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $1.97
I HATE "Island in the Sun."
IncesticideIncesticide by Nirvana
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $1.23
Not including their "MTV Unplugged" album, things went downhill for them with this one and all the others following.
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm NotWhatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.93
Sorry, I just don't get it! I don't get the hype. These guys sound just like the Strokes, and every other garage band out there. I wasn't impressed at all!
IdlewildIdlewild by OutKast
Buy new: $18.97 / Used from: $1.15
I was a bit disappointed in this one. There are really only about 5 decent songs on this one.
Idlewild (Widescreen Edition)Idlewild (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.78
Even the beautiful Paula Patton and the talented Andre Benjamin couldn't save this stinker! A great cast but the story is dull and bores to no end! It was like one long music video: all music and glam, no plot.
Slow Motion DaydreamSlow Motion Daydream by Everclear
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $0.99
This was such a disappointment from such a great band!
With TeethWith Teeth by Nine Inch Nails
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $4.14
What a stinker! Do yourself a favor and pass this one and go straight to "Year Zero.
Running With ScissorsRunning With Scissors
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $1.93
Such a great cast and such good potential. The trailers for the film make it look hilarious. But that's not what you get with "Running with Scissors." The movie is A LOT MORE serious (to the point of depressing) than the previews make it out to be and it comes off as a major disappointment!
Introducing Joss StoneIntroducing Joss Stone by Joss Stone
Buy new: $12.97 / Used from: $3.99
Joss herself said that this is the first album where she hasn't had any influence from record execs and I thought it'd be better. Man, was I disappointed. Get Amy Winehouse; MUCH better!
Smokin' AcesSmokin' Aces by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $5.75
Movie: Cool; Soundtrack: Not so much. I'm all for digging up old, obscure songs for movies (love Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill soundtracks), but it's starting to get old and the song picks aren't even that good.
Fantastic Four Collection (Fantastic Four/ Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer)Fantastic Four Collection (Fantastic Four/ Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer)
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $9.38
Both sucked. The only good thing about both was Jessica Alba.
Catch and ReleaseCatch and Release
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $1.99
Although I love Garner and this movie was OK, it still could've been SO much better. It seemed a bit too choppy and felt like there were parts missing from it. Just proves that "Erin Brokovich" writer Susannah Grant is completely overrated!
Spider-Man 3 (Two-Disc Special Edition)Spider-Man 3 (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $7.14
Carnival II: Memoirs of an ImmigrantCarnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant by Wyclef Jean
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.35
Carnival 1 was great and I was looking forward to the release of this long-awaited album. Man, it is not good.
It Is Time For A Love RevolutionIt Is Time For A Love Revolution by Lenny Kravitz
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.02
Only two or three good songs on the entire album!
Sleep Through The StaticSleep Through The Static by Jack Johnson
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $6.25
His previous album was much better.
Bittersweet WorldBittersweet World by Ashlee Simpson
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.60
First album rocked, second was O.K., this one blows!
