    Blind Melon- Soup

    I must agree with bladworth116...Soup may be better than the self-titled debut. Not disappointing in the least bit...but to each his own.

    Yeah I guess you're right... I was being too hard on Soup. I just think the first album is better. Soup is still good though.

    What's with the votes for Binaural?? Good lord. I thought that was a brilliant album. Of The Girl is so chilling and moody in particular. I think they pushed themselves on Binaural like they did on Vitalogy. I dunno, it was very obvious to me anyway.
  • Chris Cornell's "Carry On" is my most disappointing album of all-time, so it wins every time. Any other album I list isn't even close in terms of disappointment. Actually, the following aren't really "disappointments" since I still enjoy them a great deal:

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones
    The Black Keys - Magic Potion
    OutKast - Idlewild
    Prince - 3121

    *Initially*:

    In Utero - Nirvana
    No Code - Pearl Jam
    Pinkerton - Weezer
    Adore - Smashing Pumpkins

    I have since waken up and embraced these special once in a lifetime albums.



    Now (not saying I hate these albums) compared to their predecessor:

    ZoSo - Led Zeppelin (please don't kill me, I love III and don't get the hype of IV but still like it a lot)
    Load - Metallica
    Robbin' the Hood - Sublime
    MACHINA - Smashing Pumpkins
    Binaural - Pearl Jam
    Untouchables - Korn
    Piece of Mind - Iron Maiden

    Riot Act was a bit of a let down after Binaural.

    Personally I think Riot Act is better than Binaural. I'm sure I'm probably the only person on here who thinks that, but the sound is much rawer... Binaural might have better songs, but they don't sound that enticing on the album. The songs on Riot Act, on the other hand, sound just as good on the album as they do live... imo ;)

    40oz to Freedom is a lot better than Robbin' the Hood.

    Kid A is a good album

    Riot Act tops the list for me

    How can anyone consider Lateralus to be a poor follow up? Ridiculous in the extreme.

    Audioslave's 2nd album (cant even remember the name of it) was a let down after the debut.

    Binaural after yeild.

    Foo's Nothing Left to Lose after Color and the Shape.

    Machina after Adore (Pumpkins)

    Crow left of the Murder after Morning View (Incubus)

    Last 2 Our Lady Peace albums have been shit after loving them for years.

    Be Here Now after Morning Glory (Oasis)

    Only band this year that i think got better on a new album is Kings of Leon, Because of the Times is awesome.

    That's all for now, im done thinking.

    Kid A is one of my favourite albums of all time. You may not hold in such high esteem but it sure ain't crap.
    Try listening to bootlegs from the shows since its release. Kid A and Amnesiac songs are fantastic in a live setting. Combined on setlists with those of the other albums including OK Computer, you'll see they all complement each other very nicely. This is the beauty of Radiohead's varied catalog, not too unlike Pearl Jam's.

    how does that make it a great album? if you have to hear the songs live to make them listenable, perhaps they should have recorded the album more like the live show?

    some great choices on here... esp kid a, weezer, and trouble at the henhouse, crow left of the murder, and riot act.

    haha I know. crazy

    In my point of view, Binaural was a bit of a let down after Yield:)

    don't get me wrong, I like Binaural, but it's nothing compared to Yield...
    I don't want to be the fool that's behind me but I am...

    I'll Hold The Pain... Release...

    Yourself

    Adrenalize came after Hysteria. Not a bad album, but definitely quite a few pegs below Hysteria and Pyromania, which set the bar extremely high for da Leps.

    Bush's "Razorblade Suitcase" following "Sixteen Stone" was pretty shitty imo.

    I loved Sixteen Stone, but really quit listening to them after Razorblade Suitcase...
  • prytocorduroyprytocorduroy Posts: 4,355
    Yeah but Robbin' the Hood came out first.
    Robbin' came out in 1994. 40oz was their debut in 1992.

    That's the album that really sticks out in my mind.

    I wasn't a huge Spin Doctors fan, but I also remember being very disappointed in their second album.
