Okay, so it might have been one of the earliest post-hardcore albums, but there are so many betters, like Polvo's Today's Active Lifestyles (1993). Not only is it excessively dry, but it never really reaches an apex, it just slides downhill from noisy ambiguity to noisy ambiguity.
it's only ok and pleasant to me

file with Television's Marquee Moon for "critically acclaimed albums that are just only "nice" to me"

Cults - Cults (2011)
I was curious about these guys so I decided to check them out to see what all the fuss is about. Why is this band so popular? Yes I admit their songs are catchy, but they sing about love in a way that's overly cheesy and really really cringe-worthy. Their music just ends up sounding empty and throwaway in the end.

Closer (Joy Division album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Didn't like it one bit.

Definitely an album I found myself very disappointed with once I decided to see what all the hype was about.

i think some spammer said Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon before it got deleted

i don't "get" that album as well

my fave PF period is after Saucerful and pre-Dark Side

lotsa experimentation and so many different facets of the band

I've heard other PF fans say the same thing. I disagree though. This is not always true of most bands; but I believe their most popular and best-selling albums truly are their best - Meddle, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, The Wall.

Anything by slipknot or Insane Clown Posse really... I have absolutely no explanation as why any human... let alone monkey or dog would enjoy it. Nothing about it is intelligent...

ug... The purpose of this thread is to post popular albums that you don't understand, not bash generically hated bands.
