Woah, woah, woah, I don't really like Humbug either but are you comparing the two?

Oh my GOD what is with the hate that album gets? Seriously...how is it any worse than than any of their last 3 albums? In fact, I often mix up Amputechture and Bedlam because I can never remember which has what songs. They may as well be parts 1 and 2 of the same damn album.

I just don't like the vocals whatsoever. Cedric's vocals on The Drunkship Of Lanterns were some of the best I've ever heard (I'd even rank his vocal talent above Beyonce's, and that's quite a stretch) and he wasted that vocal talent by adding more vocal effects and singing very differently.

Was struggling for ages thinking of something to contribute to this. There geinuly isn't a album by my fave bands that I would say I hate or even dislike. Then it hit me, Bjork's Volta. I'd always rely on good ol' Bjork, but she let me down big time. There's nothing I can remember liking about it (haven't touched it since release). Hopefully a purple patch and not a sign of artisic decline.

The one Cure album i really just can't listen to. It's directionless, unfocused, there's some really irritating instrumentation, and Robert Smith sounds like he's wasted.

I feel like he still used it...only with added effects. They are a progressive band, it only makes sense that Cedric would be progressive with his instrument.

I always saw it as a messy attempt at some kind of Psychedelia that was only half-successful, with a lot of problems within the band only adding onto the result, but I can hear why people don't like it. Maybe it's me and my appeal towards messed-up albums (which this clearly is), but I still listen to it more than their albums after The Head on the Door. "Birdmad Girl," "The Caterpillar," "Shake Dog Shake," and "Bananafishbones" are alright, but the rest should have been shoved to the B-Sides...or maybe the out-take bin.

I love Tom Wait to pieces but I've never been able to get into this one. It's just so goddamn boring it's unbelievable.
