    Unfortunately you are wrong.

    My most disappointing album of the year is the new CHSY.

    agreed... I liked the James Bond song and that was about it.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    that's what i was going to post. their first album was so quirky and catchy, but 'some loud thunder' just seemed to lack strong songs. i listened to it a few times and couldn't find anything as engaging as the most mediocre on their debut.

    You seem to not like hip-hop, which is fine. I'm not a huge fan either.

    But to say that all hip-hop albums fall under the category of "Most disappointing album of the year so far..." means you had some sort of high expectations for all hip hop albums and you were severely disappointed by them all.

    Ty...come on man...there are some great hip-hop albums out there. Are you against the genre in general or just today's hip-hop?

    For the most part my new music purchases this year have been growers at the very least, but I have little if anything to say about the new Tori Amos. I've only made it the entire way through that thing twice. It's such a shame. Once upon a time she was my very favorite after Pearl Jam. Oh well.

    I'm with ya. Tori's last 2 albums have been so bad that i don't even buy anything new by her. I know artists like to grow and change, but why mess with something so perfect? She was my fav after pj too. Bummer.
    OBAMA BABY

    era vulgaris, to really crack it , i found that headphones were the factor that put me into it...i thought it was great when i listened in my car, but with headphones, everything was put in place....theres a lot goin on.

    LULLABIES IS THE SHIT, BTW, IMHO, U CRAZY?

    oh yeah, the most dissapointing album.....not that i had any huge hope for it... but libertad sucks. and what else..

    the yeah yeah yeahs ep is exceeding any ep hopes ive ever had.

    NIN Year Zero

    i usually will put a nin album in and leave it there for days. i have only once since buying year zero put it back in my cd player and i couldnt even finish it. the first week i gave it time to grow on me and the more i listen the less i liked it. i am not looking forward to the follow up to this. but i dont think trent could make anything worse. i didnt think he could make something this bad either.....
