not exactly the crappiest, but the Isis cd i got (panoptic, or something like that) was a severe disappointmnet coming on the heels of the Red Sparowes cd. i think it's mainly the guy's voice. i'm not a fan of the drano-gargle/metal voice.
what's the crappiest cd you've bought lately?
- Thread starter narlus
- Start date
Surrender To The Air, I'm embarassed to admit I even bought it.
Tie between a "live" 2-disc Hendrix CD which turned out to be a crappy bootleg of a lousy club performance, and Steve Vai's Sex & Religion. 
It grew on me. Haven't been exposed enough to the 1st album to say whether it's better, but it definitely comes off as different.stinkyboy said:

I haven't bought a CD in over a year.
because of downloading, or lack of interest/money?COmtbiker12 said:
i may i download a bunch of stuff, but i also still buy a ton.
John Frushante's solo album! HANDS DOWN!
He's the guitar player for the Chili Peppers, so you would think it would be good.
Apparently he does a lot of drugs. I can't believe the record company released it.
I LOVE putting it in while driving in my car and watching for peoples reactions.
Seriously, the absolute worst/favorite CD I've ever heard.

No, SS is just too busy on the internet telling people that the things they do/like suck.narlus said:
I don't usually buy a cd unless I know it's good.

Mostly lack of interest. I almost always just listen to the radio. I mean at home I'm either listening to YahooLaunch! or one of the million free stations on iTunes. If I'm driving I'll either listen to the classic rock/metal stations or NPR. And of course the whole thing about hardly being able to afford bike parts let alone non important things like CDs.narlus said:

Also got a hold of the new Pelican recently. A lot mellower than their last CD, but I like it. They're playing here in NYC at the end of July. Can't wait.

or what he is busy not doing. 
like i said, it might be mainly due to the particular vocalizing. there are some bands i dig who others may hate, due to the vocals (thin white rope, tom waits, current 93, etc).Fool said:

I was disappointed in the new Mars Volta CD.
Actually, it is not that the CD is bad, its just that I can't get into that long experimental rock stuff anymore.
I have their first CD, and really liked a couple of tracks on it, but got bored with alot of their long songs, so I bought the new one, and the songs are even longer and more trippy.
I don't have enough time in the day to listen to that stuff.
I just need music to nod my head to, and that stuff just is not upbeat enough for me.

I bought Black Crowes' Lions a few years ago... what a piece of $hit.
Even though I did not buy it ( the newest Prodigy Cd ) I listened to it AND IT SUXORS! It's not even close to the quality of Fat of The Land.
hhhmmm this is a hard question. Mike Jones most deff.
Beastie boys latest cd = waste of money

If you're talking about A Sphere in the Heart of Silence then you're wrong dude. That album is pretty awesome.
The new Soundtribe Sector 9 album really dissappointed me. They've become out of touch or something, and that cheesy black chick that sings has GOTTA go.
this might sound lame but of all the music i have bought or copied lately, the Newest U2 album in fact the last 2 have just blown sooo bad. What happened BONO to worried about your damn sunglasses and poverty in Africa.
but the best album lately...the new Gorillaz kick a$$!

Metallica St.anger, no surprise there.

I have no new music.
I've never downloaded a track.
I don't listen to MP3s.
You'd think I'm a technophobe. 
I too have been almost 5 years without buying a CD, I've downloaded 1 mp3 for myself and maybe 10 for my wife, all off legitimate sites. My problem is that I just don't like anything I hear on the radio enough to buy a CD, actually I spend more time searching for stations playing something I do like than I do listening to music. I'm not the type to just go out and buy music I've never heared just to see if I'll like it.
I think good music stopped in 1995, there was some mediocre stuff through 2000, the last few years will be remembered as worse than the '70s musically, at least for the mainstream stuff.

Yup. Kind of where I am. I now listen to NPR news or classical music. And when they do fund raisers I'm forced to commercial radio - I find myself turning "scan" on the radio on the drive home and don't ever take scan off in 35 minutes because there is nothing worth stopping on. :mumble:Kornphlake said:
I once owned Pinkerton by Weezer. It was by far and away the worst CD that I have ever owned or listened to. What a piece of garbage, I wish I could have my $12 back.
Short of a Ween CD I have not bought anything that can be heard on the radio in a very long time. It is tough finding music I like anymore, there is plenty of good stuff out there it is just hard to find now that I don't have time to go see live stuff and now all my friends have lame music taste.SkaredShtles said:
Also haven't bought a lot recently. One thing I have to mention (and it was my last purchace) is Black Sabbath's Symptom of the Universe. Disc one is a true speaker killer (see other thread), but disc 2 (with the exception of maybe a song or two) is almost unlistenably bad.
mainstream stuff is never a good way to properly judge a decade's worth of music, but the 70s was a very productive time. forget about the disco and cheese; the early 70s was marked by some huge psych and rock stuff, and punk washed away the fallow years of '75 and '76.Kornphlake said:
i do find myself getting more and more reissues of stuff, which is kind of a drag, but there are still good things to be had. if yr friends have lame taste, seek out stuff on yr own. good sources:
college radio (depends on the area)
mags (big takeover, comes w/ a smile, magnet)
websites (pitchforkmedia, perfectsoundforever, fakejazz)
maybe my perspective is warped because i'm constantly on the prowl for new music, but i can't ever see treading water or getting out of the pool completely.
Maybe you should hire yourself out as a Personal Music Consultant.narlus said:
