yeah i got it second hand for about £2 on a car boot! i'd heard of 'em so thought i couldn't really go wrong for two squids
some of the songs on there are really beautiful

oi!

HOD live down my road, many a drunken night in the local Banks's.....

(agreed on the album though!!!!)

for me, MDA has to be....................................

Drug Free America.....bladdy ace live, sh1t on vinyl.....

Get me not wrong dw I wanted to love Head Of David, after the free single in Snouds that had "I Am Roadkill (Rokatnsky vs Schwarzenegger) I reckoned that's what they would sound like.

Dustbowl was well named.

Most disappointing = Pocket full of Kryptonite-Spin Doctors.
Bought it because I lurved the song 'Two Princes'. There are, in all fairness one or two decent songs, but the rest are rubbish.

Depeche Mode - Exciter: I bought it as soon as it came out but it's a really cruddy album.

agreed.

The first two (dunno if they have anymore...) Tool albums. I was 'advised' to purchase them. It was a mistake. Utter b*llocks IMHO!!!

Never quite got into The Fragile by NIN either. Bit dissappointment.

Do you mean "Undertow" and "Aenima" by Tool? IMO "Lateralus" is way better.

As for "The Fragile", too much filler; it should have just been a single CD.

I've got Aenima & Lateralus. Apart from the opening track on Aenima I just can't get into anything else. Same for me when they merged into A Perfect Circle (or was that just MJ Keenan with others!?) I didn't like them either.

As for NIN, I listened to The Fragile a lot, in a vain attempt to 'get it'. I never got it so I just shove Pretty Hate Machine on now when I'm in a Nails mood... your right, far too much filler.

and Massive Attack's latest was a bit of a let down too.

The cure - bloodflowers

honestly, how the band could make a song like 'wrong number' (possibly one of the best cure songs ive heard) and then release a sappy emotional album like bloodflowers is completely beyond me... i dread to hear the next album due out soon :S

yeah, bloodflowers is pretty cruddy too. One of the reasons I've haven't bothered getting that live DVD.

the dvd has its moments... but ive steered completely away from the second disc

that live dvd is fantastic though

Shut up about that DVD!! I still haven't got it yet!!

I saw it for sale secondhand for R200 (16 quid). Is it worth it?

how come?

Dunno

Madness. Surely one of the best albums of the last ten years.

i knew i had heard of them somewhere

I had the 3LP set with the 2 bonus tracks; I sold it on eBay only 2 weeks later

Nooooooo! However, this is obviously just my opinion!
As the kids of today seem to say, they RAWK!! It's a weird album, I accept...in that some of the 'songs' aren't songs - more like snippets.

And then there's the...ahem...'sound effect' somewhere which sounds like, well...let's not go there...However, it does have some bloody good riffs and some HUGE geetar. But as I say, that's just my opinion...

Most disappointing? PiL's "That What Is Not" certainly ranks somewhere in the top three...if not in top spot. All I could think was 'sack the singer!'. Which is as close to sacrilege as I'd care to get as far as I'm concerned. To quote the band themselves, "Disappointed a few people..." Me being one of 'em, but what do they care..?
