The worst album you ever bought !

    For the few that buy music :P whats the worst album you ever wasted that 10 - 20 euros on and immediately regretted it. I want to know why you hated it...

    Mine is the carter 3. I'm not hating on Wayne but I fell for the hype surrounding Wayne around the time of carter 3 when he was arguably at his most popular. Just hated the album from start to finish, the content Wayne raps about on it is baffling just mumbo jumbo lryics to go with a mumbling like style that I just hate.

    Granted I loved tie my hands and milli but this album really put me of Wayne's music and arguably he's gotten worse since then pretty much gone straight pop.

    Probably that Jay-z and R kelly album. I bought it back in the days when I still bought CDs so brought it back to HMV and got my money back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,737 ✭✭✭Tombo2001


    The first album I ever bought, The Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney, in retrospect had quite a few duds on it.

    Going to be controversial here.....

    My biggest disappointment was Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band......got the CD for my 16th birthday, this was at a time when CDs cost the equivalent of about €50 in todays money......so I used to get maybe one or two a year at most......

    It was crap. For the benefit of Mr Kite there will be a show tonght dont be late.......

    For a record that was iconic, groundbreaking, blah-de-blah.....it was a big disappointment.

    EDIT: Oh........Hip-hop.....

    I bought a Plies album once. That by far is the worst album I've ever bought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    Master p I never got ! I honestly have a hard time Listening to him. Couple of woeful names , chingy , piles and the likes.

    It's worth mentioning I was extremely pi**ed after buying rotten apple by banks after a great debut. Jay z's blueprint 3 was pretty cat on a whole too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Lil Jon - Crunk Juice.

    I was 16 and thought Get Low was a good song.

    Blueprint 3 wasn't THAT bad. D.O.A., Empire State of Mind, On To The Next One & Already Home are pretty good tunes. Kingdom Come by a weaker album.

    I bought The Last Temptation by Ja Rule... My only excuse is I was about 14. I still wince every time I see it in my CD rack.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,342 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    from when i was about 10 and just bought sh1t for the sake of it:

    All my cypress hill albums bar black sunday which i give the odd spin.
    Nellyville and country grammar (dont even ask lads)
    The ecleftic by wyclef, bought it based on my love for the fugees, got about 3 tracks into it and turned it off.
    Da real world by missy, another pile of ****e that i dont even remember buying, i coulda inheritied it from one of the aunties but man is it bad, makes me wanna kick missy elliott in the throat.

    Sisqo or plies wins it I think. What the **** were the thinking?

    Country Grammar was a great album though, so great party tracks on it


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,734 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    I've a few dodgy ones.

    Richie Rich - Seasoned Veteran -> I only bought that because it had a Tupac verse I never heard and a good tribute song to Pac. I busted it out again recently and it's awful stuff.

    Southern Confernce - Who Am I? -> I bought this off the back of its single Dead Presidents which is still dope.



    But the rest of the album is dreadful.

    I also bought a YoYo tape back in the day which had like 2 good songs on it, one of which was a back and forth with Ice Cube.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    I'd agree on country grammar , liked that myself. One of my mates loved young jeezy too, I honestly found him painfully hard to listen too ! Still not mad about him to this day.

    Also loved Country Grammar, and loved Young Jeezy's 'The Recession' but don't really like his other stuff.

    A bit of a controversial one , frank oceans debut. I kind of tried to force myself to like it and there are 1 or 2 songs I do like but the majority of this album is just not my cup of tea at all ,actually regret buying it.

    I know he's r'n'b but that style of music isn't really what I'm into, I just bought it due to the hype. I suppose as far as R'NB albums go it is good ? I don't know I don't listen to them but Ye it's just not me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    There's enough good songs on Channel Orange to guarantee it's not the worst you've ever bought. Or if you're talking about nostalgia/ultra then you're just nuts.

    Worst I can think of is Harlem World - The Movement. I was so pissed off that I wasted my money on it.

    well your more than likely a frank ocean fan so thats easy to say. I never actually stated it was the worst album iv ever bought either but it is one of them because iv no urge what so ever to listen to it again, it got tops 2 spins from me which is bad because i usually play any music i buy too death within the first week.

    honestly its up there with one of my worst for reasons explained in previous post, its nothing personal towards the album itself just more so my taste in music hence it being a waste of money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    I don't really like Channel Orange, just a few of the songs on it. nostalgia/ultra was much better than it.

    iv never listened to that, channel orange was the first iv heard of ocean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Frank Ocean is a strange one for me too. I absoltuely love, and I mean really ****ing love 'Novacane' and 'Swim Good'... But those are the only two I really like. I've only really given Nostalgia Ultra one or two full run throughs though.

    CG is a classic! Maybe not on an Illmatic or Ready to Die level but its still a top record for its time, still gets a listen for me.

    He hasnt made barely one good track let alone album since.

    Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP

    Terrible album, complete filth and the language was atrocius.

    As you said, it's really just not to your taste, but I don't think it could ever reasonably be called a bad album.

    It's been almost universally acclaimed.

    My album of the year without a doubt.

    It would be akin to a rock fan buying illmatic or OBFCL and calling it crap. They aren't, but the rock fan just doesn't know how to appreciate them.

    Nostalgia.Ultra was brilliant too.

    Each to their own but its in my top 5 anyway. It was the album that properly got me into hip hop.

    For me Ja Rules with whatever album Livin It Up was on. Listen to it twice and remains the only ever cd ive thrown in the bin. Garbage so it was

    I agree with you I don't think it could be called a bad album , I wouldn't be surprised if it was the best R'NB album of the year.

    I'm just not into it and regret buying it is all.

    Best album full stop for me. With Killer Mike and El-P some way back in second.

    jaysus (when I think about the amount of money I wasted)
    there've been a few bad ones ,
    including lil kim , foxy brown , Us3,
    the luniz operation stakola
    Shaq
    Also personal opinion of course MC REN album Renincarnated
    was brutal , apart from the title track really
    Mase Harlem world
    NWA and the posse .
    Ying yang twins ..USA

    Thats just some of the muck I bought , i would put fun-hip hop albums like Kid n play and fresh prince , 2 live crew , MC hammer , above them

    Most late-'80s rap is quality, even the less serious stuff.

    I was gonna post Will Smiths album "Big Willie Style" but when checking the name on Wikipedia, i noticed Nas wrote some of songs. I feel conflicted now.

    Why? It was either a good album or it wasn't. It doesn't matter who wrote it, performed it or liked it.

    You either like it yourself or you don't.

    I personally liked a lot if Will Smith stuff back in the day.

    I also liked the Ja Rule album I bought at the time (also the one with living it up, pain is love I think).

    On the other hand I hated some if the critically acclaimed stuff I bought. Black Sunday by Cypress Hill and Hells Winter by Cage are two that stand out for me as bring acclaimed by others but just did nothing for me whatsoever.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,734 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    Will Smith has had some decent music, particularly Big Willie Style. It's not an album of substance that it is going to make you think. But if you take it for what it is, its decent.

    yeah I personally liked will smith , I def don't think he made music to make money , i think he done it for a hobby more so
    still , even now his old stuff is better than some of the Hip-pop nonsence we hear now-a-days
