Top 5 Albums You Thought Would Be Great But...

Turned out to be rubbish.

Mine are:

1. All Saints - Saints and Sinners
2. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Shoot From The Hip
3. Martine McCutcheon - You Me & Us
4. Christina Miliam - Christina Milian
5. Holly Valance - State Of Mind

I don't really own any albums of that sort. But I guess if I have to choose I would say probably the last Outkast album. Apart from a few songs, the rest of it I could live without. Not worth the price tag in my opinion.

Second would probably Beyounce's album, it didn't really live up to 'Crazy in love'. But then again I didn't think it would.

Ermmm.. . . . . .I can't really think of three more albums. Apart from Bewitches album, Step's first album and erm, Billies album lol.

It doesn't matter what sort of music you listen to, just list albums of any genre.

Love Kraft - Super Furry Animals (The previous 2 albums were brilliant).
Rhythm of the Saints - Paul Simon (Graceland was brilliant).

Coldplay- X & Y was a disappointment for me.

from this year I was disappointed with the supergrass and super furry animals lps.
Neither lived up to the great reviews that they received....

The Darkness - One way ticket to hell and back.

After the quality offering which was 'Permission to land', you've got to be disappointed with such a bland, unimaginative album.

Weezer - Make Believe

I read the Q review and got all excited. Love the Blue Album and Pinkerton.

Needless to say I was tempted to set fire to my copy using Q magazine as kindling. A HUGE disappointment, I can't bring myself to even try and listen to it.

Yep.. Super Furry Animals have released some bloody brilliant music in their time, but Love Kraft was a bit of a disappointment for me too.

I also agree with mrs brody about X&Y. I was a massive fan of Parachutes, and even A Rush of Blood to the Head had some brilliant moments, but X&Y just doesn't do it for me. The passion and the innocence seems to have gone. The soaring ambition is gone. I think Coldplay have forgotten what they're about, or at least what it was that made them great.

'Pure Shores' and 'Black Coffee' are my two favourite All Saints tracks. Okay, 'Shoot From The Hip' has some definite fillers on ('Party In My Head') but it also has all the killer singles and 'Nowhere Without You'. The rest, what did you expect?!

Franz Ferdinand
The Killers - Hot Fuss

Haven't really got any duffers. Some albums i've needed to play quite a few times for them to grow on me, but the 2 above i just couldn't get into at all..

The first half I agree with, Franz Ferdinand - WTF? Good singles, crap albums.

The Killers are just fab.

Radiohead - Kid A (just gets on my nerves and I think they're brilliant)
Badly Drawn Boy - One Plus One is One (Year of the Rat was a cracking single but the album's pretty dire)
Oasis - Be Here Now (not as bad as people claim but expected so much more)
Razorlight - Up All Night (at least I got the version with 'that' song on it!)

Embrace- Out of Nothing

Not really my kind of thing anymore, and even when it was it was still terrible with only about two half decent tracks. Took it back a few days after buying it.
