welcome. you’re not the only 30-something here. there’s a few of us. no worries.
“mechanical animals” - dude that’s a brilliant record. i’ve always thought that they should do an all acoustic version of this album and call it “acoustic animals”. there’s a “coma white (acoustic)” MP3 floating around (that I found AFTER the fact I decided they should do this) that backed up my idea.
OK, I 'm probably the old geezer here, I’m 38. Spent a few minutes digging through my collection. I won’t even go through the extensive vinyl collection…
Just a few prizes…

Hey, I’m not too far behind. I still like With Sympathy, It is what it is - cheesy synthpop, and I tend to listen to that from time to time. Hey, I like Hubert KaH, so if that doesn’t say something…
Hmm, I remember hearing Don’t Blow Your Top, but that was ‘back in the day’. I don’t know what it would sound like today. I remember thinking TKK’s “Confessions Of A Knife” was a stellar album, but I have to admit, I skipped through it last night for the first time in a while, and hoo boy - it’s not aging well at all. I still do like Daisy Chain and Days Of Swine and Roses. In-fact, I just heard Swine and Roses today on Howard Stern, when they were coming back from a break. They’ve played various Ministry tunes on that show (segue spots, anyway), so someone there has some taste.
nine inch nails - things falling apart
it blows. i liked the fragile very much, but this is just crap.
massive attack - 100th window - the ‘leader’ of ma sux ballz at vocals, plus this is not as dirty sounding as mezzanine. too bad.
fear factory - obsolete and digimortal
well, obsolete is kinda so-so, a direct clone of demanufacture, ff’s best release. digimortal sucks ass though.
marilyn manson - holy wood
post-acs manson is even more boring.
david bowie - low
some say it’s great, well, i don’t. i like ziggy better.
rhcp - blood sugar sex magic
metallica - s&m
foo fighters - colour and the shape
i don’t remember how i even got these.
How anyone can hate Mechanical Animals, or even Holywood is beyond me. I mean yeah neither is perfect the whole way through…esp. Holywood…but jesus these are not bad albums in the least!!!
Ditto with Red Hot Chilli Peppers…I mean COME ON!!! I’m not a fan at all but those guys are talented how can you deny that???
If these are your worst im jealous of your collection.
Although I do agree that Things Falling Apart was somewhat of a disappointment after The Fragile…(though there a few redeemable tracks, the first one being the most evident) then again NIN remix albums usually blow. At least this ones a step up from Fixed…ugh!!!

I know exactly what you mean. Kooler Than Jesus was my life’s theme song for awhile, now, I find it boring. Swine and Roses is still great though. Especially the updated live version from Elektro Inferno. ‘Ride the Mindway’ is also a favorite made better live (despite DAT overload). Man, this should turn into a TKK appreciation thread. Sigh, I’m too young to urging Groovie Mann appreciation.

Really? That’s my favorite Bowie album. I say it’s great, so there!

Definitely. I’m listening to “A New Career In A New Town” right now, as a matter of pure kwinky dink. For a reason that I can’t quite put my finger on, I’ve always thought The Smiths’ “Oscillate Wildly” seemed inspired by this.

actually i like mechanical animals. but holy wood is a lame copycat of acs and ma. and tgaog… ugh…
Ditto with Red Hot Chilli Peppers…I mean COME ON!!! I’m not a fan at all but those guys are talented how can you deny that???
i just don’t like 'em any more, and with the two latest albums they tend to play the same stuff (although everybody does that)

fixed was awesome. i mean, coil remix alone is great. main reason why TFA was a letdown cuz they promised more unreleased fragile material but it turned out to be two tracks (great collapse and slippin away) and the rest were casual remixes.
I dislike Mechanical Animals due to the fact that it is basically a carbon copy of Prick’s style (and I do like Prick). I am not one to bash music simply for being commercial or mainstream; however, I feel like ripping of Prick like that and not giving them any credit is a pretty unfair thing to do.
In terms of the genuinely crappy ones, I’d say the two worst offenders have to be Happy Mondays’ Yes Please! and Morrissey’s Kill Uncle. They’re both absolutely dreadful, and I’m surprised they weren’t just scrapped before release.
Kill Uncle has its moments…there are some good ideas on that album, which probably could have used a little more work on them. The last couple of tracks sound like demos.
There’s definitely some good songs on it. I like “Our Frank”, “Sing Your Life” and “Driving Your Girlfriend Home” quite a bit. The problem is that the bad songs are unforgivably bad (“Asian Rut”, “King Leer”, “Found Found Found”).
I like “Sing Your Life” as well, but I think Maladjusted, while far from perfect, is way better than Kill Uncle (my least favorite Moz LP). I always felt “Alma Matters” was a very good single by him.
How do people listen to this band? The music is amateurish at best, the vocals are awful, and the lyrics are embarrassing to listen to.
Haha agreed.
For myself:
Die Krupps - Volle Kraft Voraus! Gayest EBM/pre-industrial I’ve heard. Sounds WAY too much like pure MIDI instruments without enough effects to differentiate it from canned noise. Some of the remixes tacked onto the end of the CD version that I have are actually enjoyable but all the original material is hard to listen to.
Borknagar - Empiricism I bought this thinking I would start out buying the latest album when I already knew (from mp3s) that I liked the earlier albums. BAD decision. This one features a new singer with the previous one having left in the interim. It is so much worse then the previous three albums. Seriously only one song did I really like and there were a few other parts that I could dig.
Velvet Acid Christ - Decypher A couple good mixes and a shitload of bad/worthless mixes to make it seem like an EP when really it should have been a three track single. The “Acid Revolution Forgotten Mix” is pretty good but yeah the others…
Soul Asylum - Grave dancers union
Blind Melon - self titled
P.O.L. - Parade of Losers
Dead Hot Workshop - 1001
Vaselines- the way of the Vaselines (although it’s so corny it’s growing on me - I got it 15 years ago)
Green Jello- Green Jello
That’s the list off of the top of my head I know there are at least 6 or 7 more
Late,

Coming off the heels of the mega-brilliant ‘Screamadelica’, Primal Scream decieded that they’d like to reinvent themselves as a c-grade Rolling Stones covers act and released ‘Give Out But Don’t Give Up’ in the summer of '94.
Was it as bad as one would expect?
Oh yeah.
Was I ashamed that I’d ever been stupid enoufgh to purchase this?
Actually, on a side note, the worst album I’ve ever heard (but NOT bought) was ‘V’ by Live (yeah, like I’d be buying a freakin’ Live album).
Talk about yer over-produced, stylistic piece of overtly emotional stadium rock wank!!! This was just utterly atrocious! Laughably so. Especially the faux-rap horror collaboration with Tricky!! HA!

I’m probably the biggest Scream fan on the board, but I’d have to agree with you. However, I don’t mind listening to it every once in a while…some fun tracks (I’m also a huge George Clinton fan so that may explain it too) . Plus I’m a sucker for the sound of a Hammond Organ. Vanishing Point blew this one out the water though!!
