Terrible purchases from back in the day when you didn't have Myspace songs to sample. If you wanted to hear a band sometimes you just had to buy the cd and hope for the best.

-Lungbrush "Old School New School"
This band was described to me as "Suffocation Mixed with Buried Alive but BETTER". I was like 15, and it still stands as one of the worst purchases I've ever made. I couldn't even sell it on ebay for $1.

-Honkeyball "One Time"
"The sickest hardcore band in Massachusetts" What the fuck. Another unsellable waste of space sitting in my parents attic. Totally unlistenable.

-Skinlab....whatever that shitty album was called
"Sounds like Sepultura and Slayer playing at the same time" I should have seen that one coming.

-Six Feet Under - Anything I ever bought
"Dude it sounds just like old cannibal corpse"

-Cannibal Corpse - Gallery of Suicide
"Dude it sounds just like old cannibal corpse"

-Earth Crisis - Slither
There's no excuse for me ever owning this album. I bought it, listened to one track, and never touched it again until I put it in an envelope and shipped it.

I have a skinlab cd, I like it

HAHAHAHA!

i never liked skinlab. they always sounded like bad machinehead, and machinehead sounded like bad machinehead.

xmikex said:

I am in agreeance with this one exception. It might not sound like old Cannibal Corpse, but it's pretty fucking awesome anyway.

i like gallery of suicide better than any other album with corpsegrinder on it. i haven't heard the last 2 albums.

I do not like Gallery of Suicide more than Bloodthirst or Gore Obsessed, I actually think Bloodthirst is the best CC record hands down. Gallery is better than Vile though and anything with Chris Barnes. Oh noes, controversial opinions!

DrinkHardThrashHard said:

i highly agree. bloodthirst definetly stands tall above the rest of the catalogue.

I can't remember buying any albums based on what others told me personally, but some of the crappy albums I've bought were based on magazine ads, or the stickers on the front of the CD saying how brutal it is or whatever - of course an ad isn't going to try and sell its product with "worst album they've done yet - check it out!"
I've since learned to be wary of ads....

One album that comes to mind for me is Marduk's "Panzer Division Marduk" album - I read in Metal Maniacs magazine that it was so evil and only a drum machine could blast this fast, and it was so brutal, etc... and when I bought it, I thought it sucked; I found it very boring and, being familiar with Mortician, realized a drum machine could go faster than Marduk's drummer.

Gallery of Suicide is fucking awesome. Bloodthirst is definitely the best Fischer album, its so fucking tightly woven. oh come on, Skinlab has genius lyrics "you've got to know your enemies, before you make them your friends".....

i have similar cds that i have been duped into buying, but this is the one i remember the most

The Red Chord - Fused Together in Revolving Doors
"some of the heaviest breakdowns ever recorded on magnetic tape"

that is one of the worst things my poor ears have ever been tricked into listening too.

i was kidding about Skinlab too.

xmikex said:

you're crazy i love that record and the next one they put out even more.

Ryan_M said:

agreed. that album is a wall of incomprehensible noise.

I think magazines lead people to make some really horrendous purchases especially when it comes to metal. There's no way I would have EVER bought Dimmu Borgir "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" by my own volition had it not been for Terrorizer naming it one of the top 10 essential black metal albums. That album used to jock the absolute dumbest bands. I finally stopped reading it when I realized how dangerously close I was to buying a Stuck Mojo album.

Ouch!! Stuck Mojo rules live.

i dont care what anyone says, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is sheer brilliance. a favorite listen of mine. yes yes, commence the throwing of stones.

Panzer Division Marduk got incredible reviews in magazines when it first came out. By that point I knew enough to figure that meant it was bad.

I stand by Fused Together In Revolving Doors. I'm hardly the red chord fan I used to be, but I think that was a great album. It was what all the metalcore of that time had been leading up to, and it was produced incredibly.

just thinking about honkeyball puts my dick to sleep.

Yeti said:

there isn't one big enough to cover up that album

Stuck Mojo hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I remember the Lungbrush album, my friend Doug bought it when we were just starting to get into heavier/extreme music - fucking terrible now that I look back on it!

i more or less dont listen to what anyone says about anything, i just sample things. i did however listen to 2 reviews by CNV, Craft - Fuck the Universe and the new Gorgoroth, and both were awesome purchases.

enthroned darkness triumphant is amazing

one of the worst albums i was duped into buying was bleeding through - "dust to ashes"

i liked some of the stuff on "this is love, this is murderous" and heard from a couple people that their older stuff was way more br00tal...and that was not the case at all, it was just terrible

haha oh yeah, Bill from The Departed when he was in Sac talked me into buying "This is Love, This is Murderous" long before i knew who they were. if you listen to the first track, you can hear potential, but then it just goes right out the window.

Nile- Black seeds of vengence. In 2000 I think every magazine picked it as album of the year. I think Nile is the most boring Death Metal band on the planet. I literally fell asleep at the Palladium once because of them.

xmikex said:

if thats true you might wanna look into whether or not you had one to begin with

I am still hurting over earth crisis - sliver. Man, I tried to listen to it like 10 times hoping it would grow on me. I'll still ALWAYS love old earth crisis though!

a friend was telling me how good boy sets fire sucker punch training was. I went out and grabbed it to see. Boy was that terrible! It was so bad I didn't even try to sell it, I just threw it away.

P.S. I am another fan of Enthroned darkness triumphant. I listen to a lot of classical music so that album was great to me.

this thread reminds me of the time i saw skinlab and earth crisis at the same show and they were both terrible.

killwhitneydead, what a piece of shit that band is.
i listened to what i could stand once over then threw it out my car window.

Yeti said:

Speaking of genious lyrics....... BELPHEGOR, I do not like this band I was duped into buying the Lucifer incestus album by the artwork, which i thought just looked amazing at the time.the music isnt anything special at all,sounds like they wanna be Dark funeral, but the lyrics are sooooo god damn awefull, its hard to imagine these guys are adults and have been into metal for soo long . "Fuck the blood of Christ" sounds like hardcore teenage angst to me. Among many other rediculous ideas that probably still woulda been lame 10 years ago. The vocals also suck on this cd

I bought the silent circus from between the buried and me a few years ago because it was described as "The most disturbing, intriguing, beautiful, riveting, punishing, indescribable album of 2003".

I felt like microwaving it when I heard "My tear drops have soft stained this pillow"

Kevord said:


EXACTLY! there's nothing memorable on that cd. just filler.

Dr. White Trash said:

They made their point about egyptian death metal, now they should make their way out.

Hahahahahahahaha I like the idea of making this thread, although right now I don't have any time to read any of it, but I have one completely glaring response. One time a coworker of mine fucking talked me into buying City Of Evil by Avenged Sevenfold. I had probably heard about a minute and a half of bat country, so I didn't have enough to go off of to deny him what he was saying, but he told me the drums and guitars were awesome and definitely worth getting the album. Well, that was a mistake.

FSOL-Dead Cities
The fucking worst album I've ever heard. A friend of mine tried to convince me like "Oh yeah, you like Kraftwerk, these guys are even better than Kraftwerk" So I bought it, WRONG

whiskey_weed_and_women said:

*insert stupid bruce lee sounds*

Earth crisis on ebay=$.01.shipping=about $2.99 min. wtf?

I gotta say Honkey ball fucking blew

other shit that sucked- Stompbox
Sam Wack Church
XXL
Brawlpark
Ten Yard Fight
and Tree (man, do they fucking suck!!!)

nickyhelliot said:

haha, i realized i hated it when i heard the lyrics "...the lovely love of the love of my life." seriously...what? i can't even begin to make fun of how terrible that is, whether they were serious or joking around.

back when i used to buy a shitload of stuff from deepsend records, i listened to graham landers one too many times. he told me to buy a narcissus cd, since every other album he ever told me to buy was awesome. and this one was far from it. it's emo/screamo/indie garbage with some heavy parts.

also, then 2nd it dies today cd, the caitiff choir i bought because forever scorned was good. what the fuck happened to them? it sounded just as bad, if not worse, than the aforementioned narcissus cd.

i also fell victim to earth crisis-slither. they're my favorite hardcore band, but there's a part of me that hates them for writing and recording such a terrible album. i think they even realized how bad it was when they decided to call it quits.

i'm sure there are a hundred more cd's i couldd talk about, but none come to mind right now.

I think i saw stompbox once?

Sam Black Church did not suck. They were one of the greatest live bands in Massachusetts history.

CNV said:

sorry but again i loved all the Honkeyball records and everything up till That Which Does Not Kill Us by SBC records

Stompbox had their moments too.

ill also add that plant a tree or die has a special place in my heart ha

now that this thread has me thinking

40 days rain fucking suck ass
pie bald is shite
converge laps a african bam badda
In My Eyes, one of the worst ever

Torture Killer - Swarm............ Worst piece of fucking shit EVER


"If you like Barnes -era Corpse, You will love this".. hahah yeah right

dwellingsickness said:

I got suckered into buying Torturekiller too. I still think the cover art is awesome. I bet Vomit the soul loves this album.

Lou Reed. "Metal machine music". One reviewer described it as what it would sound like to be inside a blade of grass while it was growing.

easily the most disappointing album I've ever bought was a Jungle Rot record...can't remember the name.

That's because anything from jungle rot is terrible.

I just bought "Karma.bloody.karma" by cattle decapitation and "Method of Execution" by Devine Empire, and they both are kicking ass.

nick nli said:

Yeah I hear you on that one. They have more dumb ass movie/TV quote samples than actual music, which isn't that great anyway.

vulgar display of power

Lungbrush fucking sucked. I also fell for that con.
Skinlab were nice guys to drink with, but looking back, eh.
SFU bore me to death.
Slither kicked in the balls years of year albums by Earth Crisis. I thought Breed The Killers was not bad, but would stand as their weakest album. How wrong was I?
Tree, Sam Black Church, Honkeyball, almost all the Wonderdrug bands bored me and I never really got what the hell was the big deal.
Forty Days Rain was the balls though.
As for local bands, I think I still have buried in my piles of CDs Eastcide, 7th Rail Crew, Brawlpark, Drained.
Anyone remember a band called Five Year Sentence?

anything from a any band with more than 3 words for a name.

POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOMB

I have that tape somewhere.
I demand the video with youplaying bass for them! IT IS REAL!

CAAAAAAAAANNNNN YOUUUUUUUUU FEEELLLL ITTTTTTT?!

never, you got a better chance at seeing Gutted

Metallica St. Anger - it's pretty cool, Lars does double bass again

...I know, I know, I'm sorry...it'll never happen again. If it makes you all feel better I threw the CD out of my car window

i only got a buck 4 it

Kevord said:


With Napalm Death 2002? If that one, I fell asleep at that show too. Granted, it was during Napalm Death...and I was really fucking sick.

40 days rain will always rule

but Brawlpark and Scissorfight will go down in history as some of the worst music of all time

the lion king soundtrack. don't ask.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is the only modern Disney movie that doesn't reach ubergay status with its music, in fact, the music is quite good; lots of really dark and minory stuff.

Despite the title of this thread, I wasn't being sarcastic there.

ShadowSD said:

i'm a big fan of the little mermaid soundtrack. nothing beats that jamaican crab singing under the sea. best song ever.

my friend got suckered into that "red" Poison the Well album. "omg dude... iheard the new PTW is wicked heavy... like 4 people told me it was... lets go get it"... oh man... the look on his face after the first 5 songs was priceless "umm... does this get heavy at all?" hahaha

>>

No July 2001 with Cradle of Filth. The fact that I got shitfaced during God Forbid and Killswitch Engage probably didn't help but Nile was so fucking boring.

Nile really pulled their shit together for Annihilation of the Wicked. there hadnt been anything noteworthy after Catacombs.

Korn - issues
Someone told me it was more heavy metal than linkin park. well obviously not. NO band is heavier than linkin park.

i was told 2 years ago that brawlpark, was infact, the begining of the south shore/boston hardcore scene. yup.

Yeti said:

I prefer Black Seeds of Vengeance to any of the other ones. Annihilation of the Wicked didnt really grab me that much, although it is a cool record.

really? i thought Black Seeds was an incomprehensible mess. Catacombs is my favorite, but i thought Annihilation was superb. it was so tightly woven with crushing, even groovy riffs.

In Their Darkened Shrines wasnt too good either, it did have some memorable songs, but it had alot of boring filler.

Gorod. Someone said they were technical.

Gorod. Someone said they were technical.

They are. Learn how to play some stuff off Leading Vision on guitar or bass and then talk.

Black Seeds just had really good songs in my opinion. In Their Darkened Shrines definitely had a lot of boring filler. That CD could have been 20 munutes shorter and just as good.

I know AOTW is technically a better piece of music than Black Seeds of Vengeance, I just think the latter is more interesting.

The 1st DEVOURMENT CD, when a friend said,"Dude, This is the most brutal CD you will ever hear". Fuckin A, I hate those guys.
