Top 5 WORST Albums Of 2019 | Rocked 

What do YOU think was the worst album of 2019? Check out my podcast channel here = ru-vid.com/show-UCTKdt0nQLsNwHCbPKT_wY6w

I use Attila as my alarm just so I’ll get my ass up and turn it off.

We were able to make Yacht Rock an official genre on Wikipedia: I think we can get trashcore going as well...

As a 14 year old I'm offended by the thought that we like Atila, we're young, not deaf

If Imagine Dragons ever go nu metal, does that mean that AJR will decide to go post grunge?

8:25 That's an insult to The Wiggles. At least they have catchy songs & play their own instruments.

Switchfoot was meant to live for so much more than cashing in on Imagine Dragons.

So shall Trashcore be the metal equivalent to Buttrock?

“They went from pizza to murder” Attila must have went to round table and looked at their menu prices

The only metal band allowed to sing about pineapple on pizza is Babymetal.

Uh Oh is the She Hates Me of 2019.

Luke: I regret doing these videos every year. Me: it's time to regret the past on Luke wasting his time talking about these and other bad albums. Edit: the triforce of trashcore would be Emmure,Attila, and King 810. Heck make it 4 and throw in Oceano.

Pretty damn sure Atilla is the biggest troll band. They love to be hated. Kinda funny.

Attila is like early BMTH and Limp Bizkit had a baby that was raised by Brokencyde

This is one of my fav channels on RU-vid. This channel is so under-rated and I really appreciate your take on modern music :)

I work for a voluntary internet radio show aimed at those who play simulation games. After tomorrow's show, their admin told me off for playing rock requests to the point that "all rock songs are banned"... Switchfoot & AJR get a pass because "they are great albums. You don't know talent". No wonder I decided to leave them shortly after that show

AJR is on a worst album list....... In other news, the sky is blue and grass is green...........

No parody albums Well there goes the obvious choice for number 1.

Speaking of King 810, their new album is waaaaaaaaaay worse than anything by Attila (doesn't make Villain good, but still)

5: sounds like people from 2002 got a time machine to 2019 4: Nissan Car Commercial music. 3: Room of executives 2: Unwanted comeback of butt rock (search up Puddle of Rudd on Google images btw) 1: Monster Energy drink: The Album

More people need to address the bad albums!! I love these type of videos!

14:46 I just noticed that the line below Attila's "Toxic" says "Song title and fanbase description". You're definitely on-point there.

I went to college in a small conservative mining town near Pittsburgh. I mention this because i worked for the college radio and interviewed the singer from Switchfoot given how much the Christians who lived in town wanted to hear from him. He was actually a pretty cool dude.

On the local radio station (WMMR in Philly), "Uh Oh" still gets a lot of airplay. So does "Come Around". On the other hand, we also get a lot of "Fear Innoculum". So, glass half-full?

Dude, happy 2020! Thanks for posting your amazing insights and helping me (and other busy people) to further rock education. Keep being the nicest guy on the internet. So glad to have someone sharing the Tool love!

Who Do You Trust sounds like a bad new Falling In Reverse album

I dodged a bullet not listening to AJR or Puddle of Mudd.

After this year's Puddle of Mudd album, you can say that the future for the band's quality is quite "blurry"... I'll shut up.

Thank you Luke for blessing us with the classic top text / bottom text memes. We are eternally grateful.

Really sad to see Switchfoot on here, The Beautiful Letdown was such a solid alt pop rock album and one of the very few good things to happen to the CCM scene, what went wrong? Oh well, at least we still have Relient K

Hi. Love your channel, could u give me any tips on doing wat you do with the concert/live bands photography please. I'd love to get into it. Thanks man. Keep it up!!

As a big Puddle of Mudd fan it hurts me to say this, but i agree (for the most part) with "Welcome to Galvania" being on here, for me it was so crushingly disappointing that they weren't able to crank out another good album like they had before, instead of me liking almost every track, i only ended up liking 4 of the songs, and that hurt me bad. However, it didn't hurt me as bad as that new Zac Brown Band album, because there wasn't a single track on there that i liked (seriously, what the hell happened to the ZBB?) Papa Roach became awful a while ago (at least for me) so i wasn't surprised that their new album was bad, and i can say the exact same thing about the new Skillet album. I'd say i was disappointed in the new Switchfoot album, but honestly, i feel like Switchfoot gave up after Vice Verses. I've always hated AJR so it didn't surprise me when their album sucked. didn't hate the new Attila album though, i thought it was good by Attila standards, i 100% understand why you didn't like it though and for what it's worth, it wasn't nearly as bad as the new King 810 album. (and as a side note, nostalgia critics the wall is probably the worst album of the year)

BEST album of 2019: "All Hail" by Norma Jean Change my mind

I spent most of this year listening to the DropKick Murphy's, Sabaton, Volbeat, and Flogging Molly. I didn't pay attention to a lot of new music that came out.

I met the guys in Papa Roach earlier this year and they are all such chill guys. Love them and their stuff, but their best stuff is from nearly two decades ago. Didn’t like their new album much, but I’ll still jam out to Last Resort every time it’s played.

Oh come on... Imagine dragons goin nu is gloriously nuts

I really like ajr. 2019 was kind of a hard year for me, and 100 bad days (or whatever the song is called) really helped me get through it. I started watching like a couple of weeks ago, great content, great channel

If that gospel music group was really that desperate for a Christian Rock group to promote, they could easily have gone with Skillet. Sure, this year’s album from them wasn’t a winner, but it’d be more listenable than whatever Switchfoot was trying to do.

Switchfoot broke my heart this year. They have been consistently good, and this year they became K-Mart bluelight special Imagine Dragons. Imagine Dragons SUCKS. Being the Christian version of Imagine Dragons SUCKS even more.

Atilla's song topics: pizza, murder, pizza murder...

Hi, algorithm. I enjoyed this video. The suffering within it was educational, delicious, and not in vain.

I’m glad I subscribed to this channel. Awesome content.

Saw Justin Sane on a photo in the background. Subscribed 😂

Disagree with P Roach. Come Around and The Ending are two of my favorite songs of the year. I also really liked Subhuman by Attila.

The worst albums I've had the displeasure of hearing from pop acts were Ed Sheeran's No. 6 Collaboration Protect, DJ Khaled's Son of Asahd, Kanye West's Jesus is King, Nav's Bad Habits, both of Logic's new albums from this year, and the Backstreet Boys' pitiful excuse of a comeback album (only found out by accident looking at album ratings, and it's hilariously bad). Counting overall, since I'm not going to pretend parody albums or online acts are off limits: Nostalgia Critic's The Wall is the worst album released this year, hands down, and certainly deserves a spot somewhere on worst albums of the decade.

Puddle of Mud? More like Puddle of Crud.

I was not aware of puddle of mudd releasing an album.

My friend saw Attila live because they were opening for Crown The Empire. She called me the next day saying that they are one of the worst bands she’s ever heard. I feel so bad that she had to put up with at least 45 minutes of their “music”

You speak my mind so articulately. Love your channel!

How does AJR retain listeners? They're so forgettable, I figured they'd be more irrelevant now then they actually are. Sad.

Trap snares and pro tools in rock is the hair metal of the 2010s, a fad that was really popular this decade and started off well with some promise, but by the end of the decade, the last dreads of the bands playing catch-up with the fad completely ruined it and made it an embarrassing mess

you have a funny and easy to follow along delivery . i also agree and appreciate your taste in music

I could write about the bad album released by Glass Tiger, this year, as its singer isn't capable of singing at the right moment, but why would anybody care about Glass freaking Tiger ? I could write about Fever 333's album that annoyed me a lot but that's probably not meant for me, anyway. But is it just me who is really worried about where Volbeat goes from here ? This year's album has a poor audio quality and that makes the really bad and cheap songs from that album really worse. And that bad audio quality happens at the same time that Volbeat's song quality dropped, too. Effortless album. Their next album might be a disastrous one.

Wes Skantlen makes me feel like my bad singing and half decent guitar can get me somewhere in music

Speaking as someone who actually took the time to listen to Atilla's newest album, I'd say comparing their atrocious lyrics to the ICP is an insult to ICP. At least there are times when the ICP sounded funny, while Atilla on the other hand throughout their entire discography had not one good line. Or sound for that matter.

Maybe it’s the color of the background, but your eyes are staring right jnto my soul in this one.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I like how Jacoby Shaddix released a song with Mark Morton (Sworn Apart) that is LOADS BETTER than his own band's new album released around the same time.

I respect your opinion about #5 even though I don’t agree. I heard the songs “Who Do You Trust” and “Elevate” on Octane, and I like both those songs. Yes they might’ve been heavy on the electronic music, but I still enjoyed those songs. Also when you brought up Muse I said to my mom, who I was showing this to at the time, “No way. Madness by Muse is awesome.” Seriously that’s my favorite song by that group. I first heard it in the episode “Broken” of Criminal Minds and I’ve been obsessed with that song ever since. Thanks Criminal Minds for introducing me to one hell of an epic ear worm.

I didn’t listen to Villain. I committed to refusing to listen to it. Neotheater by AJR is my worst album of 2019 and it’s not even close. Every dumpster fire of corporate cynicism and malcontent for the art form is present on Neotheater and thus is my sole example of how bad things can truly get even in a year as amazing as this one. I hated Suicide King by King 810 as much as the next guy, but to me Neotheater is the audible equivalent of battery acid to the eardrum.

This is the second video I've watched that came out today that mentioned a Simpsons episode involving Itchy and Scratchy. Are the Simpsons becoming relevant again?

Thank you Rocked! I now have 5 great albums to look into!

I hadn't heard of AJR before this year and while I think there is definitely a hollowness to their sound, which makes more sense now the corporate aspect have been explained, I actually like two of their songs from neotheatre quite a bit; Birthday Party and Finale. I heard Birthday Party before anything else and the lyrics and "instrumentals" were so bizarre that I kept going back to it. That and the ear worm qualities. It felt like the opening number in a musical about someone's life. Plus the easerhead sample? Wtf?? I just had to listen to it again to try to make sense of it and it grew on me as a result. As for Finale, this is actually weirdly personal. The storyline of finale, if there actually is one and it's not just me projecting, really spoke to me because of a character I have created for my D&D campaign; someone who had the promise to do great things but ultimately failed and is haunted by the expectations of those he let down. The song ended up in my inspiration playlist because of that and I still sing along to it in the shower. Anyhoo, those are my two cents. Fantastic video as always Luke. 😁

My top 5 best: Tool, Baby Metal, Alcest, Ghost and Vast.

Whenever I saw Welcome to Galvania at the number 2 spot on this list, I legitimately thought, “Who the hell could beat out Puddle of Mudd?!” And then Attila came up; I legitimately forgot that Attila released an album this year. The only time I ever heard that Attila released Villain was when Crash Thompson literally dumped on that vile piece of garbage 😂

"Fun Fact: Raccoons make terrible pets!" Tito the Raccoon wants to know your location.

okay people when it comes to Emmerue or Attila, just listen to DevilOOF instead. seriously it's some good Deathcore (granted blackened deathcore, but still deathcore) not this #TRASHCORE as for my worst of the year(i made sure to pick ones you did not cover in this top 5, as that would be beating a dead horse) "The Change" awake at last 0/10 any remotely "good" or "decent" thing from this album has been plagiarized. this is a band that has no info like a Wikipedia page (only the Spotify bio) despite dominating serious XM because they got nothing interesting or personal to say. just from the cover art (which plagiarizes "Mindsweep" by enter shikari), you KNOW how bad this album is going to be. this album also wastes the Ice nine kills vocalist on a feature by just having him hum in the background. the BEST part of the album is THE INTRO TRACK where they plagiarize "welcome to the black parade". I had to restrain myself from saying more because a lot of this I said in my review of the album. for another example of plagiarism play the song "bigger picture" from this album and then "My devil on the bed" by The GazettE, and AAL somehow made their version worse. without even taking into context the fact that they bastardized the atmosphere of the song they were ripping off. this an album so bad, you will be begging for Skillet's "Victorious" "Awful Truth" Woes 0/10 this album will make you BEG for a simple plan! BOTH logic albums 0/10 Has this guy ever even been good? dude sucks, most his disog. is "i am .25% black so I can say the N-word" and bragging about how his corporately planned anti-suicide song did well. seriously do not pay attention to rappers like him, put your attention to rappers like Denzel Curry instead. "Ingigo" Chris Brown ZZZ/10 this album is OVER 3hrs when counting the deluxe edition and it is one of the most Boring albums i have ever heard, this album is Xanax in music form. actually, at least with Xanax, you don't still feel drowsy days after hearing it. background R&B sounds better than this. it's clear this album is only so long so it can gain more spins on Spotify "Hollywood death star" -BOTDF INTENSE HATRED/ 10 Davhine would have done CB's method if they were not banned from Spotify. for this, I will take out all the horrible things they have done and explain these albums' failure purely on a music front. this album Recycles B-sides and like 2 new songs and calls it a new album (this is the same band that reused the same opening track on their first 2 albums) oh and guess what, that said the opening track is REUSED HERE as well. aside from being lazy, the music itself like always is just the worst. ether trying to be very sexual and "erotic" but just comes off as really gross (think a peeping tom who is an old man on meth), or being "woke", seriously even freaking AJR writes that stuff better. and of course, there is more comparing himself to Jesus (oh for those of you that don't know, in regards to the really messed up things about davhine that came out that ago, there was a song in response called "Crucified by your lies" where he compares himself to Jesus.) Davine is the worst of "woke" Culture and the biggest hypocrite, where he will be "oh don't kill yourself your a shining star" and then put a diss track out on a suicidal 16-year-old fan.their is better production in free to use software and the instrumentals justify every music purists hate for electronica. I am going to stop myself here, it's already hard for me at this point to not type profanity. so you should get from this why this album is a failure. but yes, screw this little punk for everything he has done, and his fanbase of apologists wh harass victims as well. also, the cover art is a crappy ripoff of David bowie's "Blackstar"

Only Atilla i like is Atilla Csihar,the extreme metal vocalist of Mayhem.

Had I not seen Switchfoot live, I would agree with your review on it. The Native Tongue songs live were awesome, brings the guitars back out front. Live is way better than studio. One of my favorite shows ever

I didn't know Atilla made a new album this year...I regret learning this

Worst Rock Album: Legendary by Skillet Worst album overall: Indigo by Chris Brown

Damn! Everything you said about the Papa roach album...was everything I said the week it came out. I even started calling them Imagine Roaches. And I LOVE Papa Roach!

I can't help but wonder if the 'no parody albums' rule is a get out of jail free card to avoid having to go into a specific very poorly received 2019 parody album thereby damaging ties within the RU-vidr community. One can only speculate.

Do you do album or song reviews? New subscriber here

Attila never had talent, they're not edgy,their lyrics are honest jokes

I definitely agree with Papa Roach. I love them but their newest album is disappointing especially after Crooked Teeth, which was one of my favorite albums in 2017.

I’ve never heard of or anything from AJR till this video. What is that terrible mess!? I know you had to do this video but I’m sad I was exposed to AJR.

I wonder when AJR will pay Jon Bellion royalties for completely ripping him off two albums in a row.

I guess you can say we weren't "meant to live" for that switchfoot album 😃👆

I honestly like some of those Attila songs lol. Good video nonetheless

If you hadn't decided to omit Parody albums where would The Nostalgia Critic's The Wall album place?

I wouldn't listen to the full Puddle of Mudd album, but I've gotten some laughs out of Uh Oh.

I don’t go out of my my way to to listen to albums I don’t think I’ll enjoy, or as much as I can in every genre of rock and metal... so I really only have one “worst” album of the year. “Undying Light” by Fallujah. Never has a band switching their sound has disappointed me as much as this band. Gone is the ethereal atmosphere that perfectly complemented the brutal death metal and made albums like “The Flesh Prevails” and “Dreamless” so unique. Gone is the original vocalist Alex Hofmann who’s deep and powerful gutturals rivaled that of anyone you can name in metal... replaced by the most generic -core esk vocalist that replaced him. The band is little more than a basic run-of the mill melo-death band that does little in the way of separating themselves from their peers. Such a shame, such a disappointing album.

I’ve never heard of AJR, but I want to know more about how bad they are. The seconds of the song you played were pretty bland

Switchfoot broke my heart this year 💔 been a fan since Day1

UNINTENTIONAL NOISE ROCK really is the best way to describe atilla djksdjf

I may like AJR but I can admit that they are stupid sometimes. It isn't for everyone, but their music gave me hope and joy during a time when i was at a really low point in my life. I will not defend their music, however, I can say I like their music because it helped me quite a bit this past year. Just a thought I wanted to put into the mix.

Hey, don't diss King 810! I'll never forget how hard I laughed when I first heard them

Papa roach have always been trend hopping hacks

Hey rocked it's getting close to 5 years after the worst of 2019. Hopefully we'll be getting that regretting the past on AJR's the click soon :D

I’ve figured out what to call Imagine Dragon’s style music. It’s like. High school pep rally or pre high school football game hype music. Lol

My least favorite album of 2019 was "The Owl" by Zac Brown Band---worse than Attila's and King 810's appearances this year, imo, because I'm at least used to their reprehensible antics. I cannot stress enough how appalled I was at hearing ZBB, of all artists, selling out as aggressively as they did. I'm assuming you didn't listen to King 810's album from this year, otherwise it would have been on your list, I'm sure. "Jesus is King" was a damn close second. "Welcome to Galvania" was terrible overall, but it had its moments. "Neotheater" was also terrible, but I think AJR are a bit over-hated. What did you think of "The Space Between the Shadows", by the way?

Me when Puddle of Mudd released an album: Uh Oh they fucked it up again

Doug Walker's The Wall was easily awful

I knew from the moment I listened to "Villain", it not only would be the worst album of the year (Even King 810 couldn't touch this level of suck) it would be the worst album I'VE EVER HEARD... I only had 4 albums I considered a 0 before this. Congrats Attila you have the fifth and by far the worst. In fact I don't even recognize it by it's name, I now call it F*** THIS ALBUM. Edit: I also saw that line for "Toxic": Song Title and Fanbase description

AJR, the Poochie of Alt Rock... that is WAAAAAAAAAAYYY too perfect!

Would Papa Roach's rap rock be a return to form as they did this when they were knew metal

Thoughts on NC's "parody" of The Wall?

I liked Puddle of Mudd's first album and even I thought the new album was a huge disappointment.

Tool put out an album this year that's all I wanted I could care less about any thing else I can now die happy

Luke's mustache is the best of 2019
