Albums You Hate By Bands You Love

It really didn't do much for me. It was still better than Coda, though.

Brad Stengel · 05-26-2009, 12:44 PM

Coda's like a rarities/unreleased compilation, that's why.

Lead Sails Paper Anchor by Atreyu. They went soft. Didn't completely sell out though. But not as good as they used to be.

I love that album to bits but I do miss the prog and electronica elements. I guess that period is over for them.

It's like they were trying to do a White Album kinda thing, experimenting with other genres of music, but it just doesn't work, and while I love Zeppelin's folk and eastern side. Here they really found their limitations. They try everything, reggae/samba (Fool in the Rain), rockabilly (Hot Dog), soft rock (All My Love) and prog (Carouselambra) but they all fall flat on their face, they just sound boring and lifeless, pale imitations of the real thing. In The Evening suceeds because it's the one moment where they're just being themselves.

I actually think Coda is better, it at least sounds like Zeppelin and the tracks are at least decent if nothing remarkable.

I think "Fool in the Rain" and "All of my Love" are very good songs. I agree with Carouselambra and Hot Dog and also think "In the Evening" is very good.

The comparison to the White Album is one I've heard before and one I like. I don't think it was as much a success as the Beatles effort, but I feel their greatest failing was their inability to connect the individual songs into one amalgamation.

I've seen videos and heard on the radio It Can Happen, Leave It, Hold On and I really don't cared for those songs. Just like everyone jumped on the Disco bandwagon in the late 70's, a lot of bands that were underground or AOR were all of sudden MTV 80's Pop. And it wasn't only Yes that did it.

I hated both albums. They were boring and far from anything else Zep put out. A real let down and no memories from either album besides being horrible to listen to.

I love In Through Out Door. I thought it interesting that it was recorded in Polar Studios in Sweden, because I always thought the overall sound (EQ & timbre) was different, besides having a different musical direction.

I feel like Physical Graffiti is much more like the White Album. Just look at the difference between Kashmir, Down By the Seaside, Bron Y Aur, Trampled Underfoot, The Rover, In My Time of Dying, etc.

Yeah but they pulled it off with Physical Graffiti. The songs weren't too radical a departure and they were genres that Zep already dabbled with in the past. Folk, Country, Funk, Eastern music. So it wasn't too drastic a change for them to expand on something they were already hinting at with previous albums. And they did their own take on those styles instead of trying to directly imitate them. I feel that's what they were doing with ITTOD.

I know I say this alot, but...

Really, WHAT THE FUCK happened?
I was hoping that they'd go back to their hardcore roots, but I recently heard the single for the new upcoming album. Looks like it's gonna be more

OK it's only an E.P but their latest effort is atrocious. Nearly all of it is Electronica and bad at that
