That one album you wished you'd never bought
Everyone has one...that one album that you bought in a (possibly drunken) state of shameless buffoonery and now have staring at you from between your more favoured albums every time you observe your collection. You can't bare to part with it...nor can you bare to listen to it...it haunts your dreams and your waking thoughts...it is inside your very soul...stuck on repeat...a curse..
Mine is without a doubt Origin of Symmetry by Muse. For being a shameless bore of an album, with "Citizen Erased" as its only saving grace. What's yours?

Back in 2001 when I was still figuring out what I liked I bought Papa Roach's debut album Infest (2000) on the assumption that all metal was nu metal. I got about halfway home before I turned around and took it back to the used record store. I only got $5 for it ($5 more than it deserves) but unfortunately I didn't have enough money to get something new so I walked away with a loss, but at least I didn't have that album stinking up my collection.

Liz Phair's whitechocolatespaceegg...simply put, I overestimated the amount of Liz Phair I needed in my life. It's alright but it's so 'alright' that I rarely end up putting it on. I don't have that problem very often after buying albums, so it has always bugged me! I bought it new because I liked her previous albums well enough but was severely disappointed. I'll never get that eight dollars back!

This balladeering river of post-grunge poo retroactively tainted the majority of Soundgarden's catalog to my ears until a few years ago, especially their later stuff. Aside from two tracks (Never the Machine Forever / Applebite) I honestly couldn't listen to Down on the Upside for years because of it. |

Just one, that's difficult.
I will have to go with Drawing Voices. It was in the Isis section of Amoeba Records, Hollywood and I threw it in my basket as part of a deliriously excited shopping frenzy. It turns out it is an experimental album of ambient noise made when people draw. "The hidden sound of mark making". A bit out there for me and bearing little resemblance to music at all. This qualifies for the honour above so many other misfires because of the fact I wasted an Ameoba purchase on it. It's not like I get to go there every weekend. |
