Albums that will probably disappoint you in 2009

[thespearkid]

With twenty or so "most anticipated of '09" threads, everyone should have thought about next years albums quite a bit by now. So, which one of your most anticipated albums will probably disappoint you upon listening? I'm going to go ahead and say Relapse from Eminem will probably be a disappointment based on the progression he's made from the Eminem Show to Encore.

[martyrdomx]

i really am hoping that the atl and panic albums don't dissapoint.
i REALLY hope. i love those bands.
but they kinda seem destined for dissapointment imo.
lol

encore was horrid aye! i wasnt even into show that much, me n my mate were sayin, he fully changed his rapping style from his first 2 cd's now its sooo whiney, my friend (who is a stoner) reckons cause he aint punchin cones anymore

[ThisIsNotDan]

optimism man!

[martyrdomx]

panic?? they doin another already?

yep. recording right after the holidays.
suppossed to be out in spring 2009!

[thespearkid]

optimism man!
Haha this thread is rather on the pessimistic side, I suppose. But isn't there one album you're looking forward to next year that you think just might be a let down?

[JustSway]

As much as I want to believe Lostprophets next album will be a stellar return to form, I have a horrid suspicion that it'll suck balls. For He's a Jolly Good Felon and Streets of Nowhere suck so bad.

[TSLROCKS]

Taking Back Sunday
Really really hope I'm wrong and they surprise me. WYWTB and TAYF are both great album but Louder Now was pretty terrible. Hopefully they pick it up and put out another great album

[Jackfrost50]

This is a very easy answer for me.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.



Other than that, I would agree that there is potential for disaster with Panic and TBS.

[ThisIsNotDan]

Haha this thread is rather on the pessimistic side, I suppose. But isn't there one album you're looking forward to next year that you think just might be a let down?

um Brand New could. I mean it will be VERY hard to live up to TDAGARIM.

other than that probably Saosin and ETID. new Saosin EP was eeeeeeeh and ETID have been going downhill

[AP_Punk]

EVERYTHING!

[porttheman]

Is thrice suppose to release an album in 09?

[fadedmemories]

If All Time Low decides to work with Matt Squire again, I will be pissed and disappointed.

[Burn That Shit]

Bruce Springsteen - Working on a Dream
The leaked tracks are really mediocre.

Bright Eyes - (TBA)
Cassadaga was poor, his self titled was poor. He's going downhill.

Brand New - (TBA)
Those youtube videos of live stuff make me think this is going to be horrendous.

Harsh words. I agree with you on the Springsteen leaks though.

[ThisIsNotDan]

Is thrice suppose to release an album in 09?

they said they're writing I think? I wouldn't expect one til '10 personally.

[AussieBoy]

maybe The Ataris, but i hope not, anyway anything will beat Welcome to the Night

hmmmm..well i wonder how that cd will sound after doin all the alchemy eps

[ThisIsNotDan]

hmmmm..well i wonder how that cd will sound after doin all the alchemy eps

personally I hope it sounds like a cross between Vheissu and TAITA, but whatever they come up with should be good

[porttheman]

personally I hope it sounds like a cross between Vheissu and TAITA, but whatever they come up with should be good

i agree with you on both parts..by the way,your avatar rules..ahaha

[GuitarR0cker1]

Taking Back Sunday
Say Anything
Saves The Day

Okay maybe probably is a stretch for the last too but I think there is a good chance I won't like their new releases that much.

[ThisIsNotDan]

i agree with you on both parts..by the way,your avatar rules..ahaha

mhm thank you

[SockMonkeyRiot]

I'm worried about the new Our Lady Peace, I mean Gravity and Healthy In Paranoid Times were alright, each had some great songs but they were no where near as good as Happiness, Spiritual Machines or Clumsy. Raine Maida's solo album on the other hand was fantastic and probably the second best thing that he has done since Happiness. So really I'm afraid that he will go back to the sound from the later OLP albums and I'll be left wishing that he had done another solo album instead.

[thespearkid]

um Brand New could. I mean it will be VERY hard to live up to TDAGARIM.

other than that probably Saosin and ETID. new Saosin EP was eeeeeeeh and ETID have been going downhill
I was thinking about that too but I won't consider the new brand new album a disappointment as long as it tops deja.

[CarryOn09]

Is thrice suppose to release an album in 09?
where did you hear this?

[JustSway]

On the subject of probably shitty albums, everyone needs to expect that TBS next release will be worse than the stench of hot, wet garbage on a sunny day, then maybe at least some of us will be pleasantly surprised.

[porttheman]

where did you hear this?

in other threads...wasnt sure if it was true or not,so thats why i asked

[CarryOn09]

mmmkay thanks

[hf57]

definitely gotta say taking back sunday

[thespearkid]

Tell All Your Friends is garbage. At least Louder Now is passable.

[TheOtherAndrew]

C I V I L W A R

[El_Jeffe]

for some reason the first thought i had when i saw the thread title was, "i sure hope i don't revisit this thread next year mentioning ted leo &/or the decemberists". hopefully both will be awesome though

could kind of seeing the new one from the boss being a little hit or miss too. especially if it's going to go down an overly american, patriotic, political pathway

[airik625]

Tell All Your Friends is garbage. At least Louder Now is passable.

honestly?

[lurker411_k9]

My Chemical Romance.

The Black Parade was pretty bad, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

I didn't like (fork and knife) at all, so I'm worried about Brand New.

Other than that, I'm not really worried. 2009 is looking pretty good in terms of new music.

Taking Back Sunday, mainly because Fred left the band...

[B-Bones]

The new Glassjaw album will disappoint me because it won't come out.

[B-Bones]

Bright Eyes - (TBA)
Cassadaga was poor, his self titled was poor. He's going downhill.

Brand New - (TBA)
Those youtube videos of live stuff make me think this is going to be horrendous.

Both incredibly wrong.

[B-Bones]

If you think it's going to be bad and is, then it's not a disappointment, no?

Got him there.

[B-Bones]

You cannot A) Think Cassadagga is better is better than Wide Awake or B) Think Bricks is actually a good song.

Actually I wasn't a huge fan of either of those Bright Eyes albums, but I love the self-titled. And I don't think I've actually listened to Bricks. I don't like to judge bands' new material off of live recordings so I don't even usually listen to those.

[SLoT]

Green Day.

[zooyorker182]

Green Day.
agreed hopefully it wont sound too much like American idiot

[funkel]

Then why are you even responding to my comment. Live videos are not always the best guide, but fuck me are those some terrible live videos.
I don't know if I've seen this, unless it was the first new song he played.

[depardu42]

New Again - Taking Back Sunday.
I've heard Fazzi performing with the boys, and it just doesn't sound right.

[micahistheballs]

I'm holding off judgement of the new Brand New songs until I hear studio versions.

I'm worried about the new mewithoutYou record. Not that it will be bad, but because Brother, Sister is my favourite record of all time, anything less than absolute amazingness will be a disappointment to me.

Agreed about Springsteen and Bright Eyes though.

[llwilliamsll]

Brand New - (TBA)
Those youtube videos of live stuff make me think this is going to be horrendous.
If you're talking about the following song as one of the youtube videos of live stuff, then you are correct. But then again, I've never been a big fan.
And some of the comments just kill me
DJDqlMN2aOE

[B-Bones]

Then why are you even responding to my comment. Live videos are not always the best guide, but fuck me are those some terrible live videos.

Because I don't really think anything Conor Oberst has put out has been complete shit. I dug Cassadega enough and I loved his self-titled. Plus, I have faith in Brand New.

[SLoT]

agreed hopefully it wont sound too much like American idiot
No kidding. What a let down that was.

[Gwytherspoon]

glassjaw's new album will disappoint me cos it won't come out

[anestitizedspaz]

Fightstar - (TBA)
As much as I hope this album is going to be amazing, I have a gnawing feeling it's gonna be disappointing. The stuff that they have leaked in the studio dairies sound a bit boring and too chilled.

[thespearkid]

If you think it's going to be bad and is, then it's not a disappointment, no?
Not if the band is capable of better. I expect Eminem to be able to put out an amazing record but I don't think he will. Therefore, it could disappoint.

honestly?
:nod: I'll never understand how anyone can think TAYF is a good album.

[idesofdiamonds]

Because I don't really think anything Conor Oberst has put out has been complete shit. I dug Cassadega enough and I loved his self-titled. Plus, I have faith in Brand New.

What exactly did you like about his self-titled? I couldn't find anything redeeming about it..."NYC--Gone, Gone" is all right, but definitely not good enough for me to think the album itself is awesome. And don't get me started on Cassadaga. I don't want to lose faith in Conor Oberst but his last few releases got me thinking his head is too far up his ass right now for him to put out anything of interest.


I echo your Brand New comment, however.

[ctigers92]

I can't see Mayday Parades new album beating out A Lesson In Romantics, it has a decent chance of being disappointing.

[Mibabalou]

lol all time low




epic failure

[thehereaway]

Fightstar - (TBA)
As much as I hope this album is going to be amazing, I have a gnawing feeling it's gonna be disappointing. The stuff that they have leaked in the studio dairies sound a bit boring and too chilled.

Agreed, unfortunately. I've loved everything they have put out so far, but really not feeling English Way so my hopes aren't too high right now, they will prove me wrong hopefully.

You didn't say that. Tell me you didn't just say that?!

I really think it's going to be good :shrug:
I also think All Time Low's is going to be awesome too.

[Camisado92]

Is Panic!'s new album really coming in 09? I hope it doesn't disappoint. I also hope The Devil Wears Prada's new album will be good.

I'm pretty worried about Eminem's album. I'm sure he'll find a way to screw it up. .__.

[Anthony Lutz]

Taking Back Sunday
Really really hope I'm wrong and they surprise me. WYWTB and TAYF are both great album but Louder Now was pretty terrible. Hopefully they pick it up and put out another great album

I saw them a week and a half ago, and the new songs they played actually sounded pretty good...

[eatsound]

im weary about the new All Time Low album

[Jackfrost50]

I can't see Mayday Parades new album beating out A Lesson In Romantics, it has a decent chance of being disappointing.

Completely agreed, plus I have a sneaking suspicion that Jason Lancaster (One of the singers on A Lesson In Romantics that is no longer with the band) was a primary songwriter for these guys. "Jamie All Over" is actually a cover of Lancaster's old band, A Kid Named Chicago.

[x togepi x]

glassjaw's album will disappoint me if it comes out because that band should be in tried in the hague for its crimes against music.

thursday's new album will probably disappoint me since i had high hopes after the envy split but that new song is bad.
bright eyes since conor oberst's new album + EP were boring as shit
i'm worried that 65daysofstatic's new album will not be very good.

[emerypearl]

brand new. i personally didn't like TDAGARIM

[tyler426]

The is a chance the the new chiodos album will be ruined, but i sure hope not.
and yeah all time low is going to be bad, i can't wait to hear all the piano ballads on that one.

[heyzombiehitler]

Anything I listen to that gets incredible hype on this website.

[alltimehoe93]

i really am hoping that the atl and panic albums don't dissapoint.
i REALLY hope. i love those bands.
but they kinda seem destined for dissapointment imo.
lol
Ah ATL cannot possibly disappoint with this third album, I'll be crushed.
The new song that Alex has been playing at shows sounds good.

[alltimehoe93]

I can't see Mayday Parades new album beating out A Lesson In Romantics, it has a decent chance of being disappointing.
ALIR was amazing but I think they'll put out something pretty good. I can't see anything by them being disappointing really.

[lightcollapse]

You cannot A) Think Cassadagga is better is better than Wide Awake or B) Think Bricks is actually a good song.

The live video of Bricks is way better than the clips of "Take Apart Your Head" that were out before TDAG. Brand New will not disappoint, count it.

[lightcollapse]

The new song is just like the songs off the Envy split but with the production sound of city. It fucking rules, wait for high quality.

[lightcollapse]

They are of equal shittyness.

At least with Take Apart Your Head you couldn't tell what was going on.

With Brick you can tell exactly what is going on and it's atrocious.

I think it's great :shrug:

[TotalCollapse]

Silverstein
Thursday

[x togepi x]

The new song is just like the songs off the Envy split but with the production sound of city. It fucking rules, wait for high quality.

the production on city is why i don't like that album so much.

[ShaneAnderson]

If All Time Low decides to work with Matt Squire again, I will be pissed and disappointed.

They say they're going to record the new album differently than they recorded their last. Apparently, their thinking process while recording So Right, It's Wrong was to just create the best pop-punk album ever. Now, they're saying they're heading down a different path and just being more spontaneous with the genre and overall persona of the upcoming CD.

[LookItsCassie]

I can't see Mayday Parades new album beating out A Lesson In Romantics, it has a decent chance of being disappointing.

I disagree, I think the Mayday Parade cd will be pretty good, but we'll see.

and I'm going to agree and go with the Long Island boys. Brand New and TBS. I'm scared for these. But I'm trying to stay optimistic about them.

[thespearkid]

I can't believe there are people out there still, who's music taste is so narrow minded they can't get into the Devil and God.
It's a very simply, yet great record. I don't see what's not to get. :shrug:

[lightcollapse]

the production on city is why i don't like that album so much.

Okay then nevermind you can listen to full collapse.

[Chromefox]

I think Brand New are going to disappoint a lot of people, since there's this expectation of them to completely change musical direction on every album. I read somewhere that with TDAG, Brand New were "making music that they'd like to listen to themselves". Unless their taste has changed dramatically, we'll probably be given something like TDAG II, and while that's probably going to be perfectly fine for me, it's not going to fly with the fans who seem to just want to see Brand New get progressively more obscure every album.

[HelpMeSleep]

I hope nothing I'm looking forward to is a disappointment although there's potential for that with all of them.
I think Cash Cash is most likely to be a disappointment though.

[OveriseFan]

If you think that they'll probably disappoint you - then they can't disappoint you at all!

[martyrdomx]

Ah ATL cannot possibly disappoint with this third album, I'll be crushed.
The new song that Alex has been playing at shows sounds good.

are you talking about the acoustic one?
that one just sounds so... blahhh. too much like simple plan.
and i hate simple plan...

[thespearkid]

Weighing in the Brand New thing, I don't think they'll top TDAG but I don't think the album will be a disappointment.

[HelpMeSleep]

If you think that they'll probably disappoint you - then they can't disappoint you at all!
haha. that's true.

are you talking about the acoustic one?
that one just sounds so... blahhh. too much like simple plan.
and i hate simple plan...
really? I like the one Alex was playing acoustically at shows on their fall tour. sounded good.

[alltimehoe93]

If you think that they'll probably disappoint you - then they can't disappoint you at all!
You deserve a high five.
*high fives*
Oh and happy belated 20K =]
are you talking about the acoustic one?
that one just sounds so... blahhh. too much like simple plan.
and i hate simple plan...
I am indeed talking about that one, I didn't think it sounded like simple plan. But maybe you'll like the other songs.
haha. that's true.


really? I like the one Alex was playing acoustically at shows on their fall tour. sounded good.
Me too, me too.

[martyrdomx]

I am indeed talking about that one, I didn't think it sounded like simple plan. But maybe you'll like the other songs.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0GXIDV_jK4
i think the chorus sound exactly like "perfect"
but that's just me...

[acfrue]

If you think that they'll probably disappoint you - then they can't disappoint you at all!

haha, thats what i was just thinking. if you think it will disappoint you and it does it will meet expectations, therefore not disappointing you, lol.

[Jet Set Paul]

I'm afraid that new Say Anything album is going to be 40+ minutes of self-indulgent bullshit.

I really hope it's not, but I have a bad feeling about it...

[fadedmemories]

They say they're going to record the new album differently than they recorded their last. Apparently, their thinking process while recording So Right, It's Wrong was to just create the best pop-punk album ever. Now, they're saying they're heading down a different path and just being more spontaneous with the genre and overall persona of the upcoming CD.
Sounds good, and no more shows with Metro Station please

[BrennanHickson]

The lack of another Jack's Mannequin album will cause some great disappointment for me.

[fadedmemories]

Hahaha, agreed. I'm not too big of an ATL fan, but if they really are heading in a new direction, the least I can do is listen with an open mind to the new sound.
I'd be ashamed to be associated with Metro Station

[GoodSausage]

Fightstar - (TBA)
As much as I hope this album is going to be amazing, I have a gnawing feeling it's gonna be disappointing. The stuff that they have leaked in the studio dairies sound a bit boring and too chilled.


I was pretty disappointed with One Day Son tbh. There's a few good songs on it but a few just feel too poppy. I like The English way so i do have some hope for the new album.

The Brand New stuff I'm not sure about. I've not really watched any of the lives videos as I'm going to wait for the studio releases before taking a real listyen to it, but i do think it'd be almost impossible to top TDAGARIOM.

Deftones new album if it ever gets released, i have a funny suspicion it might not live up to what it says, but the whole band are back together in the studio again instead of recording seperatly like Saturday Night Wrist, just hope Chi wakes up out of his coma soon.

[Broden Terry]

I was pretty disappointed with One Day Son tbh. There's a few good songs on it but a few just feel too poppy. I like The English way so i do have some hope for the new album.

Really? I loved One Day Son and thought it was a huge improvement over Grand Unification.
I hope the album meets your expectations :-)

[GoodSausage]

Really? I loved One Day Son and thought it was a huge improvement over Grand Unification.
I hope the album meets your expectations :-)


Yeah, i much preferred Grand Unification. I thoight all the tracks on it were just great. They had a much better feel to them, but i do like a lot of the very early fightstar stuff too. Specially seen as some of the tracks on GU are just versions of EP songs that have been made a bit better.


Also GU has LLTIR and Mono ^^

Grand Unification was such a good album, I just thought some of the re-recorded EP tracks left a little to be desired. I always prefered the EP versions for some reason.

LLTITR and Mono are two of my favorites. Great songs.

[tyramail]

unfortunately, i think mayday parade's album will be disappointing. because panic at the disco is going the pretty.odd route again, i will probably dislike it. i'm looking forward to paramore, atl, say anything, and the audition and i'm not too confident with any.

[swt_catastrophe]

I can't believe there are people out there still, who's music taste is so narrow minded they can't get into the Devil and God.
agreed.
I can see how people who don't like Brand New don't like it, because there's hundreds and hundreds of better albums out there. What pisses me off, are people who won't listen to anything that isn't scene pop punk and for that reason the Devil and God is beyond them, despite loving Deja and/or YFW. I don't know why they are on a music website in that case.
that anyone would argue that one of the scene pop bands is better than TDAG is perplexing, especially when it all sounds exactly the same..
The lack of another Jack's Mannequin album will cause some great disappointment for me.
are you serious?! TGP just came out.
and i think the lack of a recent soco album is much more disappointing than JM not having anything in 09

[BrennanHickson]

are you serious?! TGP just came out.
and i think the lack of a recent soco album is much more disappointing than JM not having anything in 09

The lack of anything McMahon related disappoints me (as I'm sure it does anyone who listens to and enjoys his music). And I understand that The Glass Passenger was just released, but it seems that all the new material he writes takes a while to release anyway... I didn't really convey the fact that I wasn't exclusively referring to 2009 with that statement; it was more along the lines of 2009-2011.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I have a feeling I might be dissapointed by the new Alexisonfire.

Well the reason why it took so long in between EIT and TGP was because he had freakin leukemia.
Atleast he had a reason... Atleast he wasnt like Panic At the Disco and just didnt release a record for 3 years with no reason whatsoever.

[Blakebear]

The Graduate

I don't think they could possibly live up to the high opinion I have of their last album.

[BrennanHickson]

Well the reason why it took so long in between EIT and TGP was because he had freakin leukemia.
Atleast he had a reason... Atleast he wasnt like Panic At the Disco and just didnt release a record for 3 years with no reason whatsoever.

I definitely understand the logic behind the wait for The Glass Passenger.

In a recent interview with Alternative Press, McMahon said he's written a couple dozen partial songs and I just hope that material will be released sooner than Panic's album, especially if there's no reasoning for a long wait.

I'm sure however long the wait is, though, we'll all be shocked yet again at the delivery and talent of Mr. McMahon himself.


The Graduate

I don't think they could possibly live up to the high opinion I have of their last album.

This statement will probably be proven to be true too. I'm not sure any of their future albums' choruses will have choruses as catchy as "The City That Reads."

[RamInGoreville]

The Graduate

I don't think they could possibly live up to the high opinion I have of their last album.

Wrong! The Graduate always prevails.

[fhsbb232]

I have a feeling that I will be disappointed by the new NFG cd, Not Without a Fight, after hearing the single.

Don't base your decision on a single. Singles end up usually being my least favorite songs on albums.

[fhsbb232]

Don't base your decision on a single. Singles end up usually being my least favorite songs on albums.

I agree a little bit with your statement, but New Found Glory has been slacking lately with the split EP and their last full length Coming Home. I hope it improves to the standards set by Sticks and Stones and Catalyst.

[RamInGoreville]

I agree a little bit with your statement, but New Found Glory has been slacking lately with the split EP and their last full length Coming Home. I hope it improves to the standards set by Sticks and Stones and Catalyst.

Yeah it took me a little bit to start liking Coming Home. But after a while some of the songs started growing on me. I think every album Jordan's voice gets better though, so that's something to look forward to.

[fhsbb232]

Jordan does have great range for his vocals on all of the previous albums, so here's to hoping that it stays the same.

[fake empire]

I thought the ep songs were among the best stuff they've ever written

[BrennanHickson]

Jordan does have great range for his vocals on all of the previous albums, so here's to hoping that it stays the same.

Not only does he have a great vocal range, but also a very distinguishable voice which is undoubtedly my favorite New Found Glory quirk.

[shibbee]

The Reel Big Fish covers album will probably disappoint, from what I've heard already. I love RBF though.
