Stay Heavy ~ Darcy 🤘
From what I have read/heard, Savatages Fight for the Rock was actually pressured by the Producers to put out a "Radio Friendly" album. The Band even admits it Sucks. Everything else from them is great.
Savatage said the only nice thing about Fight For The Rock was getting to live in London during the recording process which they really enjoyed being guys from suburban Florida and London being a city with a population of 9 million must have been so exciting. There were a lot of heavy metal clubs and the band enjoyed the bars/restaurants.
Hey Bob 👋 You bet there is people that like 13 , just not one of my favourites ! I still love Black Sabbath , I have all their albums & then some lol , I hope to put together a ranking soon ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Yeah, I enjoyed "13" as well. Granted it doesn't hold a black candle to their first six albums but it IS better than their last two with the Ozzman. Plus you also have to consider the questionable conditions it was recorded under: Iommi's lymphoma, Geezer's arthritis, Bill Ward's leaving over health problems (which he tried to cover up as a falling out with Sharon)... and while I know this above post wasn't much of a Rick Rubin fan I do have to admit his production was the REAL star of the album!
@Mr.Brenman21 I love Never Say Die; Junior's Eyes I particularly love. I know Ozzy says he hates it but he was in a bad place at the time, and a lot of those comments about Never Say Die are from the 80s when he never wasted an opportunity to slag off Sabbath.
Yeah more people REALLY need to check out some of Sabbath's stuff that's sort of been buried over the years. Albums like Eternal Idol and Tyr are some of their best stuff to be honest.
Hey Marcio 👋 I tried to stay away from a few real obvious ones & Forbidden is one of them , terrible album indeed ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Hey, dude. I like "Van Halen III", "Demolition" and "13", good albums in my opinion. I have 500 albums and the only one I really dont like is Solefald - "Pills against the ageless ills", it really sucks. But I have read amazing critics in magazines... Those were the times without RU-vid.
Nice video! I actually much prefer Demolition over Nostradamus. I’ve got plenty of clunkers in my collection. Operation Mindcrime II, Generation Swine, just to name a few.
Nice to see you jump on this thread! Most of the albums you show here I´ve never heard a single song. I love Scorpions but I never heard "Pure Instinct", same with Savatage, never heard "Fight...". I somehow like "13", I don´t know what it is but yeah, I think it´s pretty OK. Judas Priest´s "Demolition" is another record I never gave a listen.
Forbidden - Black Sabbath Chinese Democracy - Guns N Roses Savage Amusement - Scorpions Van Halen III - Van Halen DaDa - Alice Cooper Adrenalize - Def Leppard The Final Cut - Pink Floyd Kilory Was Here - Styx Raised On Radio - Journey Hot Space - Queen
I agree with everything EXCEPT Black Sabbath's "13". That album is slow and doomy for sure, but quite an interesting listen if you give it a chance. And I had totally forgotten how awful "Pure Instinct" by Scorpions was! I do remember my disappointment that it had WAY to many ballads and forgettable songs. And mirroring your story about St Anger, I too found a Metallica album in the trash once, but it was Re-Load, I took it home with me because I felt sorry for it.
"13" is a good album. Certainly better than "Never Say Die!" I really don't know why people rag on that album. Now, Ozzy's "Ordinary Man", that's a piece of sh*t! Iommi's riffs are as dark and doomy as always.
@@cybereus836 Yes. But I didn't buy the album because of him. Ozzy hasn't sounded good for years, only selling albums and concert tickets on past glories. No, my reasons are for Tony Iommi. His tone and sound are still rich, and he is very much the mastermind behind Black Sabbath. I would like to see him work with Tony Martin again some day, as the albums they made with Martin were great and underappreciated.
Great video! I didn’t listen to Demolition for years from what I heard from others but I loved Jugulator and went in with no expectations and Demolition is now one of my favourite Priest albums, I also think Black Sabbath’s 13 is quite good.
Some (dis)honourable mentions: Motley Crue: Generation Swine, Def Leppard: Pretty much everything after "Pyromania", and Twisted Sister, Love is for Suckers. 🤢😴
I’m a huge Dokken fan especially the first 4 albums with Tooth and Nail being my favorite. You hit the nail on the head with Dysfunctional that is god awful. The first time I heard it I was like what is this mess. I played it a few times figuring maybe it would be one of those albums that would grow on you but that ain’t happening . Just saw channel come down my RU-vid feed great channel man !
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 No doubt those early to mid 80’s Dokken albums are some of my favorite all time albums . I’m 52 and I still love the music of that era Dokken,Ratt, Accept , Krokus, VH etc etc the list goes on.We were blessed with great music and great times in the 80’s . Same here thanks for the kind words and take care .
Darcy, fantastic topic and video. I totally agree with you on 13. You mentioned 2 albums i dig; Demolition(it has some fillers) and Pure Instinct. My honourable mentions: 1. Deep Purple-Rapture of the Deep 2. Helloween-Helloween 3.Nightwish-Endless Forms Most Beautiful 4. Bon Jovi- Lost Highway 5. Aerosmith- Rock in a Hard Place
Rock in A Hard Place is a great album! Everything after Pump is just awful, but I’d draw the line at Done With Mirrors as their last truly good album, before the sell out
@@markcolhan8901 Done with mirrors was originally supposed to be their comeback album but ended up being permanent vacation. Get A Grip was their last great album.
I kinda like Judas Priest "Demolition". Savatage "Fight for the rock" may stray a bit from the edgy heavy metal of the beginnings, but it's still good hard rock. Scorpions "Pure instinct" was the big disappointment of my life, that's when they became a pure cheesy pop-rock band for housewives. I found Black Sabbath "13" uninspired.
I totally get why people don't like some of these, but I like the Savatage, Dokken and Scorpions albums you showed, and half of that Krokus album. But that Def Leppard album I checked out on them years and years ago! But it's all a matter of opinion.
Yeah, I agree on all you listed. I remember when I was a teen, I'd spend the night with my cousin and she had The Blitz. Played the shit outta Our Love. I still like that song plus a few others.
Which was pretty much why Eddie was praising Gary so much at the time. I'm not happy that Eddie passed away, but I'm not going to present Eddie as this ideal person, like a lot of people have been doing.
Back in the day (the 80s) you could be forgiven for buying bad albums.... the cover art , band reputation or whatever drew you in. But in the modern world with access to nearly anything on the net you would have to be a bit of a fruit loop purchasing anything that you didnt like ... cool video Darcy , everyone's got there own opinion ... rock on.
Everyone was praising that Def Leppard album in 2015 as the best since Hysteria, lol. I personally think Songs From the Sparkle Lounge that came out before it, blows it out of the water.
Cool list. Our tastes in metal are actually quite different. I actually liked 13 by Sabbath. Of course, I wouldn't call it their absolute best but there are enough tracks on there that I think are quite satisfying for me to call it a good album: Loner, Beginning Of The End, God Is Dead, etc.
There’s an idea for a new video , “show 10 album worse than St-Anger” , shit man I don’t know if that’s possible ! Hope everything is going good for you 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Cool list and a few surprises actually. Didn't expect to see 13. I don't mind that album lol. I agree on Savatage though, not great at all. I'm shocked you even had JP in there too, I know it's seen as awful, I've actually never heard it but I just thought they were too sacred to include lol. I've never actually heard the rest but I'd never go that deep into some of those bands, Great video.
I actually really like Black Sabbath’s 13, In my opinion the first four songs are amazing and the rest is throw away. I think Judas Priest’s Juggulator is a fantastic album. Also, did you pick of the vinyl reissue of Megadeth’s Unplugged in Boston? I really love Dave’s guitar tone on it
Are you sure you’re not spying on my house ? 😂 Megadeth Unplugged In Boston just arrived today I shit you not , silver vinyl ! I’ll give it a listen tonight and let you know what I think ! Cheers Sam 🤘 Loud ‘n’ Proud
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I promise I’m not spying on your house 😂 I have just been listening to it lots and I was wondering what your opinion is, I thinks it’s fairly good, they even play a song from Risk! Sometime this week, I’m gonna have to order a copy for myself on vinyl! Cheers
I was all set to hate 13. Told everyone it was a pathetic transparent cash grab. And I ended up liking it, lol. Ouch. Enough people hated it for me, I can be the weirdo who likes it."BORN IN A GRAVEYARD..." sure, a little Mercyful Fate flavor lifting, but I really liked that one.
80s heavy metal and thrash bands made so many disappointing, boring or downright bad releases throughout 90s. The only really great album that impressed me at the time was The X Factor by Iron Maiden and I still love it.
In my opinion the true maiden fans stayed with the band and didn't jump ship when Bruce left, I'm proud to say I'm one of these and I really like the X factor album.
Wow I own a lot more of these than I'd like to admit. I was just waiting for you to bring up 90s Dokken. Surprised no Megadeth Risk. But on a positive note I just got KKs Priest today and it's really killer!!
I think The Angel And The Gambler is amazing along with the album. You simply need to approach it with an open mind and not to have any expectations. Also listening the album several times can help to like it. I've started to love many Maiden songs just by listening them over and over.
I think the issue was that they signed contracts that required the bands to put out a certain amount of albums in a short time. You can't rush inspiration and art.
Very true ! Those were the years when they were banging out an album every year & it didn’t always work out did it ! Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
I haven't heard a lot of these to be honest so will have to take your word for it until I do! The only bone of contention for me here is your choice of drop off album for Krokus, yes Change of Address is bad but The Blitz was a massive drop off for me, I fully expected CoA to be terrible after that howler!
I saw Krokus on The Blitz Tour in ‘84 , WASP opened , both bands were awesome ! So I might have a wee soft spot for The Blitz lol , I still say Change Of Address is not as good ! See we didn’t fall out 😂 Cheers my friend :))
You want a major drop off for Krokus? What about their sole album for MCA, Metal Heart? I had the cassette and not only can't remember any song...but the cassette seemed to be harshly mastered...way too bright and tinny sounding.
Hey George 👋 Are you taking about Heart Attack ? I wouldn’t argue your point about the production , definitely a little off , but the album does have some great tracks like Wild Love , Axx Attack & Winning Man !
I have been meaning to pick up Headhunter until now i just have a Krokus live album. Great reasons for your picks mate and glad you picked an album from 1 of your favourite bands. I had a great time doing my thread response too. Take care mate😃
Black sabbaths 13 nearly made my list! Completely underwhelming. I can agree on Savatage too. I haven’t bothered to look passed the first four Dokken albums because you never hear good things about them. Great video mate!
I actually like the self titled Def Leppard album. I think X is their worst album. 13 is just ok to me. I definitely agree with you on Demolition and Van Halen III. I like Machine Man and One On One but that’s about it. With Van Halen III, I kinda like Without You and Fire In The Hole and maybe one other song but that album is embarrassing. Another bad album I would mention is Dedicated To Chaos by Queensryche. Yikes lol.
The fact that you would include Dokken's "Dysfunctional" album on a list of "Ten Terrible Albums" is in of itself WHACK!!!! Especially when considering the album that followed, "Shadowlife" is truly considered a terrible album. Queensryche's "Dedicated To Chaos" is infinitely more deserving of inclusion here as well. In all honesty the album was originally written as Don's solo album, then he decided to do some writing with Jeff and it just snowballed into a Dokken album from there.
WHACK 🤣😂 that’s great ! Here’s the deal I grew up on the first 4 Dokken albums & after that never heard them for years , picked up Dysfunctional for cheap a few months back ! I’ve never heard Shadowlife , probably don’t need to right !? I’ve done a Queensryche ranking video & guess what’s in last place , yup you guessed it Dedicated To Chaos !! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Nice list. Sometimes it is hard to admit that music from some of our favorite groups actually do suck. Here are a couple of my favorite groups with bad albums: Accept-Eat the Heat; Saxon-Destiny; Dream Theater-The Admonishing; Queensryche-Dedicated to Chaos; Black Sabbath-Forbidden.
Really didn't think 13 was terrible. Other than that, I agree with everything, except maybe the Dokken album. There are a few great tracks on that one I really dig. You could have included any Def Leppard album after Pyromania on this list too.
Great picks Darcy! I agree all the way. And what a great comment to sum up the VH album! ”They probably should have lowered this canon about ten inches”😂👍 Take care!🤘
How can you say that about '13'!? 😮 Maybe I'm a little biased because this album came out when I was a teenager but in my opinion it's one of the best albums of the decade 😁
Hey Darcy. I'd probably agree with a few of these. Especially that Def Leppard. I was thinking of picking tit up at the time but wasn't impressed, especially after their previous effort. They are still good live though. I don't mind the 13 album, not their best, but it is still on my list to pick up....still, so I'm not in a rush. Nice response 🤘🤘
I thought Death Magnetic was a pretty good album. It's not as good as the classic albums of course, but it was the best thing they had done since the black album.
The only bad things I can even think of from that album is End of the Line and the mix. I wish also they kept the Beyond Magnetic tracks but it is what it is. An especially easy fix is listening to the tracks live, the E flat tuning helps the tunes a bunch and in the case of All Nightmare Long Drop C# tuning. Cyanide especially sounds better live than the studio version.
@@lucyano_ yeah. I didnt like it. Every few years I put it on again and, nope, still dont like it. Wierd. The whole world loved it! Massive success. I thought And Justice For All was the best metal album ever, and all down hill from there.
Last week you were talking about the Todd LaTorre album. I think I picked it up because of you or Scott Waters was talking about it. Anyway, it’s outstanding. I haven’t listened to Queensryche since Mindcrime. Dee Snider’s new album Leave a Scar is awesome as well. I haven’t listened to him since Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry. I believe I will have both albums in my top 20 at the end of the year.
I saw Queensryche with my two best friends in the summer of 1995. When their 1997 album came out I was so bummed out and haven’t listened to them since.
Pure Instinct is half good, half terrible. Wild Child, Stone In My Shoe, But The Best For You, When You Came Into My Life (there are bizarrely two versions, depending on what album you buy, but the first one is the better version). The non-heavy songs are absolute shit.
I didn’t know that about When You Came Into My Life , I’ll have to listen to the other version , thanks for letting me know ! I’m looking forward to their new album Rock Believer , should be early ‘22 ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I'm not looking forward to anything more from them. They should have retired in 2010 when they said they would (because that album was killer). My favorite band of all time, but they're well past their sell-by date, unfortunately.
Krokus' new address. Shitsville. Demolition sucked because it was entirely a Glenn Tipton project. If you heard his Baptism by fire album, you'll see he got it in his head to change direction. But, like Blaze Bayley, something goes south and they blame the new guy. I happen to like both Ripper and Blaze.
I love Demolition but it is very hard, if not impossible to disagree with your statement about it being largely a Glenn Tipton project considering in an unprecedented move, he took over as the principal songwriter (Tipton always was the principal songwriter with Halford and Downing contributing but here he took it to the next level) and wrote several songs by himself and masterminded the whole production/recording processes. You could see in studio reports, he was very much in charge with Downing in a progressively dwindling role. Blaze Bayley was at least allowed to write songs during his tenure in Maiden, Ripper only got to write one and that song What's My Name wasn't even put onto the main album, only released as a bonus track.
Yes funny enough it does sound a bit better on vinyl , I don’t even know how to explain it maybe it sounds a little less irritating lol , no joke that album actually puts me in a bad mood , there’s no way I could sit through that whole album in one shot ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care Andrew
Yeah, Zenith was kind of a disappointment following Enforcer's other stellar fucking albums. Not terrible but not really to the same quality as something like Death by Fire
I kinda lost Scorpions after Crazy World (Kickass album if it wasn't for the 2 worst ballads of all time). I would pick Judas Priest's Demolition over Nostradamus. Don't even get me started with Def Leppard , I can tolerate everything all the way up to Euphoria, I would enjoy listening to Lady Gaga than what can after :-)
Good video!!! I really enjoyed the Scorpions and Krokus albums, the savatage one to. I know those albums aren't for everyone, but hey to each their own
Hello again Darcy Six...I hope you are having a great weekend...so...are you one of those guys that's going to do "Ripper" Owens dirty too lol!! Rob Halford IS Priest...I wont dispute that one bit. It was clear by the last few Priest albums that the band needed a break from Halford. Enter Ripper Owens...bad for Halford fans but rather unique for more of us "thrash" guys. Priest first album with Ripper "Jugulator" was a absolute masterpiece. Bullet Train was an absolute crusher of a song...a super album. The follow-up "Demolition"...isn't even in the same room as Jugulator. It was good music...and I will agree not one of Priests best...but I think "terrible" is a strong word...especially when standing next to something like St. Anger...which actually was terrible 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great rest of your weekend and I look forward to debating with you again in the future...thanx!👍☠
Thanks to Spotify I don't really own many terrible albums. Most of the bands I collect a lot of (Paradise Lost, Rage, Grave Digger) are also really consistent. When I don't get something from them (The Devil Strikes Again and Healed By Metal I skipped) it's rather because it's uninspired rather than terrible. I do own St. Anger... but did not find it in the garbage bin, haha. The most terrible stuff I have besides that is stuff I got by accident (there's a Limp Bizkit album somewhere...) or 'specials' (Remanufacture comes to mind, just terrible remixes of Fear Factory's Demanufacture).
Sabbath's '13', Krokus 'The Blizt' and Dokken 'Dysfunctional' are very great and enjoyable albums for me together with the Scorpions. I agree with you in the rest.
Yes The Blitz is a good album , I was talking about Change Of Address that wasn’t as good ! I actually got to see Krokus live on The Blitz Tour in ‘84 WASP opened , awesome show ! Cheers 🤘 Stay Safe
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 So great! Krokus was my firsts metal shows here in Chile, february 1985, two nights! I have a stepbrother who lives in Quebec. Cheers!
Always nice to hear from you, Darcy! To be honest, i don't think st anger was THAT bad. Actually i purchased it some time ago (finally). I found that cool store with music and bought me bunch of mc cassette tapes like tom petty and ugly kid Joe. The other day I fell for some Korn and Metallica albums. Good vibes! Take care!
Great video Darcy. I'm glad to finally hear someone say it about Extreme. I just don't get it. But what ever happened to Def Leppard? What a waste of talent. High N Dry is one of my favourite albums ever. God they have brought out some serious crap since
Thanks very much ! I’ll tell you what , after Steve Clark died Def Leppard where never the same & how could they be , the guy is irreplaceable ! I’m not hacking on Extreme but they are just too wimpy for me lol . Thanks for hanging out at Planet6Strings 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Have u ever heard Make Love Like A Man by Def Leppard? Lyrics go Make Love like a man, I'm a Man, that's what I am.... Did Joe Elliot write this when he was 10 years old? Embarrassing.. I was hoping Vivian Campbell would liven things up, but I have given up all hope on Leppard. Maybe we were just spoilt with all the great music that came out in the 80's!!
I consider myself to be a huge Blind Guardian fan. They're at the very top spot for me for metal bands but even I wasn't so invested in Legacy of the Dark Lands. I'm one that defends everything from them, even A Twist in the Myth but the Twilight Orchestra did so very little for me which is a damn shame. I'll give it some more spins but like you I've only ever played it so few times.
Believe me I want to like it & I’ll keep trying , it’s definitely staying in my collection ! Can’t wait for a new album from Blind Guardian , hopefully in 2022 ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Ha ha ha, lol! That's great, I wasnt the only one bamboozled by buying that cd. I guess I should have read the cover more closely. I LOVE BLIND GUARDIAN. Great band, I am by no means putting them down, but the orchestra bit is not my bag. Demons &Wizards III blew my mind, if you havent heard that please check it out.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I've got some good backtracking homework to do on Demons and Wizards, looking forward to it. I didnt even know about them, saw number 3 at a store and realized it was Hansi from Blind Guardian, after that I was in.
I really like 13 especially the Best Buy Exclusive with the 4 extra tracks. They have a Dio era sound to them. I have only 2 albums in my collection I hate. Black Sabbath's Forbidden and Iron Maiden's Final Frontier. Forbidden has a few moments that are good and Final Frontier has just the title track. Hopefully the Iommi remix of Forbidden will fix it. Final Frontier there is no hope for.
Yeah I could of easily chosen Forbidden , I heard Tony is going remix it , hopefully it turns out better because I really like the Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Dokken Dysfunctional "Are there a couple of good tracks on it? Yeah probably" (but I can't even be bothered to tell you what they are). Says it all about your thoughts on the album LOL
Equator by Uriah Heep St. Anger by Metallica Endless wire by TheWho Eye II Eye by Scorpions Eat The Heat by Accept Constrictor by Alice Cooper Forbidden by Black Sabbath Cold Lake by Celtic Frost Hold Your Fire by Rush. Change Of Address by Krokus
Thanks for sharing your list Donald ! Even though I like a couple of songs on Hold Your Fire & as much as I love Rush i’m sure I would put it dead last if I was to rank their albums ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
@@l.salisbury1253 yes I would agree, however thus was supposed to be his big comeback. With exceptions of a couple of songs, it just sounded like generic 80’s glam rock.
@@donaldellis8952 I do agree with you on the Who's "Endless Wire". I'd really been looking forward to that one... especially after hearing the impressive "Wire & Glass" EP. I was completely disappointed with that full album which I thought was little more than a routine Townsend solo effort with occasional lead vocals by Daltery. (BTW: "Endless Wire" was also the title of a 1978 Gordon Lightfoot album!) Check out the Who's 2019 s/t album. While it won't make you forget "Who's Next" or "Quadrophenia" it IS a massive improvement over "Endlass Wire"... and "It's Hard"!
I quite like that JP album... Was my introduction to the band and always thought Ripper was an OG haha.. How wrong I was. 13 a good album but it does have some dull moments. 100% agree on all the rest. Good video Darcy!
@6:26 - I always preferred JP's "Jugulator" which is sadly not available on any streaming service / legal digital distribution, over "Demolition". I think the only two songs I like off it are probably "Subterfuge" and "Lost and Found". Though, with that said, it's not a terrible album imo, but not very memorable whatsoever.. and somehow, unlike "Jugulator", it's actually available digitally / streaming, kinda stupid.
😂 great thread great video! That’s an amazing st. Anger story 😂. Some of these I haven’t heard but I’m on board with the dokken . It’s a bad album in every way. Van Halen III is wicked also lol. Metallica’s Lulu comes to mind also.anyway cool fun video. Darcy stay well brother
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I've never felt it fair to call it "Metallica's Lulu" as it's not a Metallica album. It's a Lou Reed album that he wrote and asked Metallica to play backing music on. No where on the album cover doesn't it even call it a Metallica album. It's worse than calling Ghosts of Mars an Anthrax album because John Carpenter asked Anthrax to write the music for the movie.
Fight for the Rock is underrated imo. It has Hyde which is one of the best songs they ever did also has The edge of midnight and the title track is good too. Not their best but not a horrible album. Also I agree that Blind Guardian album was not good. Their 88-95 era was my favorite from them.
I love Legacy of the Dark Lands and like 13, but otherwise, I can't really argue that much. Demolition is an album I happen to own. Not getting rid of my copy cause it could be valuable eventually (Jugulator already is), but I'm not going to disagree with you.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Megadeth’s Risk. Big fan of previous and later works but Risk was Prince of Darkness and Breadline, making it stand way out over Bob Rock era Metallica There are plenty of crappy albums out there and Van Halen 3 as you mentioned was awful That album Lulu too
I agree with you about Pure Instinct. However, I like Dysfunctional. It's no Tooth and Nail, but still pretty good. For the later Dokken albums, I also like Erase the Slate and Broken Bones.
Possible topic to consider.... Does a band putting out a (truly)BAD album negatively effect their legacy? Almost like how striking out lowers your batting average..... In Metallicas case I'd argue they've done more to harm their legacy the last 30 years than add to it while I'd argue that bands (or brands) like Testament & Megadeth have added to their legacy (United abominations & formation of damnation are some of my favorite albums).
The difference between Metallica and Megadeth is that Megadeth has been much more prolific so their bad albums haven't made as much of an impact on their over all discography. But I feel most of Megadeth's stuff post Youthenasia is between mediocre and good. The good being Endgame, and United Abominations isn't bad, and Dystopia(except of Dave's terrible studio vocals). But I'd say that Megadeth had a lot more mediocre to bad albums than Metallica eg. Thirteen, Risk, Super Collider, Cryptic Writings, The World Needs a Hero. Where as Metallica had St. Anger and Reload. I've since come to see that Load isn't a bad album, it's just not heavy, but most of the songs are good. Load is easier to listen to when you don't look at the band during that era. And Honestly I think James' voice has aged better than Dave's. I would rather listen to Hardwired than Dystopia. But I only really like 8 songs on Hardwired, and when I consider that Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning only had 8 songs...I'm okay with that. Regarding Testament. The had a weird 90s career just like Megedeth and Metallica, but ever since Testament started using those modern metal productions and modern guitar tones and drum sounds I can't be bothered with them anymore. I really disliked Brotherhood of the Snake.
Good list only one you showed that I really like is 13. The rest eh yeah either bad or mediocore at best. But I've noticed in this thread no one seems to show albums that are truly as bad as St Anger probably because albums that bad are EXTREMELY rare which I guess we can be thankful for.
U think the worst Black Sabbath album was their reunion live album which is probably the worst live album ever recorded.Ozzy sounds like a drunk kid,Butler loses tempo in almost every track and Iommi barely manages to deliver his solos...
I actually love Demolition, and the Jugulator, I'm one of the few that like Ripper era Priest. Not as much as Rob Priest. And I'm really loving KKs Priest.
That’s good to hear ! I can’t wait to get my copy of KK’s Priest , I love the songs I’ve heard so far ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Aerosmith- Music From Another Dimension Guns N Roses- Chinese Democracy Metallica- Lulu Green Day- Father of All Motherfuckers Def Leppard- Def Leppard Motley Crue- Generation Swine Led Zeppelin- Coda
I did one of these on my music channel. I completely forgot about Scorps' Eye to eye. I can't disagree with your pick from them, Wild Child is great and I like a couple other tracks. But overall that one is rough. Undying Evil is my favorite and first Enforcer song. I do dig the Priest song One on One. The VH album you and I are in total agreement. Oof not into that Def Leppard album either. I think X might be worse, but it's a toss up. I'm kind of meh on 13. I'd say Shadowlife is a worse Dokken album. Good list overall.
@@Casketkrusher_ Got stuck in a sword. I'm not lonely though as there are a billion other versions of me in there. Though the lousy gits never stop monologuing.
You might want check out my Accept ranking video lol . I actually really enjoy this album , no it’s not Udo … no one can replace the German tank ! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Sadly have to agree re Def Leppard. Them and Bon Jovi I used to love back in the day (High and Dry would easily make my top 20 albums of all time). They were both at the poppier end of the rock spectrum but that's no bad thing, and I loved their songs; not liked an album by both of them since the early 90s. :(
Yep, spot on list, even if liked BS13 and would to add any of Manowar albums after 2002, Megadeth's Risk or Supercollider, and those couple of albums made by Helloween after KOTSK.
Excellent job! Nice little Motley Crue jab for Jailhouse Rock. 😅🤣🤣 Spot on. VHIII is horrifying. Def Leppard! Yawn! 13 is sooooooo ponderous. Rick Rubin destroyed Death Magnetic. That Sabbath album was pasted together. Add Technical Ecstasy in there. Dysfunctional is totally weird so I kinda dig it. Broke the mold. Lulu??? Makes St. Anger look masterful. Generation Swine? Anything from Queensryche after Tribe. 😝
Cool ranking terrible albums, i also agree with it. St.Anger is not a bad nor a terrible album, it's just not a thrash album by Metallica, it's more a groove/metalcore album. Therefore if someone listen & love these genres will love St.Anger. It's a 2.5 out 5 album for me. Stay heavy🤘
@@johnrife7134 Well it's true, according to Metallica's discography and standars is a bad album, so i agree. But as a metalcore/groove album isn't that bad. If you don't like this kind of music, i respect that too.
@@CarloNassar The album is to heavy and fast to be Alt.Metal, and maybe some Nu Metal influences here & there, but it still groovy & cory for the most part. 🤘👍
I like how you picked different stuff from other channels. Agreed, nut shot on Van Halen 3 lol. I still need to put my list together. There's a B-side or disc 2 track called Methademic from Black Sabbath's 13 that's worth checking out. I couldn't get into the rest of the album though either. I have a weak spot for Dokken's Dysfunctional because I saw that tour and still have a cool t-shirt.
Can’t disagree with most of your choices Darcy. I do like 13 and Death Magnetic though. The “nice” Canadian in you is coming out In this video 😀. You try and find something nice to say about most (but not all) of these albums so it’s not completely negative. Cheers 🍻
On Demolition, it would have been a lot better if the had gotten rid of the RIDICULOUSLY LONG INTROS! I don’t know why Glen and KK insisted on having one on just about every song!
I love your channel, just discovered yesterday. I wanna say that I love St Anger and think the terrible drums sounds is a production choice. In contrary to Death Magnetic that have a not good sound overall and that people during this era download the « Rock Band » video game version of the album that have a better sound. I think that St Anger is not their worst album but I love Nu Metal so I can understand people doesn’t like it.
Thanks for the kind words ! You know something my kids had Rock Band but I don’t ever know if I heard that version , I might have to check that out ! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Try not to take this to heart ok , it’s just me talking about some weaker albums from bands I love & that have listened to for years ! If you do continue with the video you’ll see that I do explain myself , but if you don’t I won’t lose sleep ! Thanks for (kind of) watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Sure you won't lose sleep. The point is the very first album you started with is one of their best in my opinion 😅 Anyways it is all about personal preference. Thanks for the quick reply.
I think people just focus on the word “terrible” , honestly love all these bands ! Sounds like your a big Scorpions fan ? Are you looking forward to the new album Rock Believer ? I’m hoping to get my Scorpions album ranking done soon , don’t worry Pure Instinct will not be last 😉 Stay Safe
