What albums have you bought that turned out a complete dissapointment
I guess this happens less these days with the internet and being able to sample CDs online etc but in the old days I used to blindly buy CDs and albums of bands I'd heard were good only to get home and find out I hated them. Here are a few examples:
Believer - Extraction from mortality Glenn Tipton - Baptizm of fire Annihilator - Criteria for a black widow Testament - The new order Flotsam and Jetsom - Cuatro

Pink Floyd - Meddle
It's the only Floyd album I've heard. I bought it after liking a cover I'd heard of Fearless, but I found it very boring and never listened to it again. I'm told Floyd were greats, but it put me off getting any of their other albums (and I still haven't). The Smiths - The Queen is Dead I was told it was so great. I listened to it, and it is by no means bad, but I wasn't blown away by it as I expected. |

The last Stereophonics album.
That's another for the "one play only" section. |

One listen to the track "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun" should convert you.

I've never, ever, bought an album I've never been unhappy with. I sometimes buy blindly, but still I would have heard one track on television, etc, and ended up liking the rest after listening to them two or three times.
I said some nasty stuff 'bout Michelle's album, but once I listened to it more than once, I grew to love it. I'm listening to it now, and I really like it. Syndicate. |

Obviously, as a Marillion fan, I've got a lot of respect for Floyd and their influence. I don't know much about "Saucerful" and I'm surprised you've suggested that as a starter, and not the more famous "Dark Side" or "The Wall" albums. |

The "only once listened to pile" consist of Bon Jovi - SLippery When Wet and Emma Bunton (except what she's released as singles.
Also everything by Blue. |

I can't believe someone bought a Glenn Tipton album and actually expected something good! |

Nickleback - The Long Road
I was tempted to take it back for a refund, but i think i will give it to someone I particulary despise for their birthday. The only good track was "Someday". The rest of the album consists of more "How You Remind Me" esque poor rip offs! bah! |

Dido - Life For Rent
One of the dullest, most boring, tuneless albums I have ever heard. (the singles were OK but the rest of it, my god, it ****ing stinks.) If I were to be stupid enough to ever by a Norah Jones CD then I'm sure THAT would become the dullest, most boring, tuneless album I had ever heard........
