Indeed. Unless one doesn't rate Lou Reed very highly, but that is another debate.

I'd say "Electronic Sound" by George Harrison. An unlistenable record by a very listenable artist.

Honestly, I thought Port of Morrow was the best one, followed by Wincing the Night Away. I found the first two to actually be really repetitive and even bland at times. I listened to them pretty much all in one go, too, so each album was still fresh in my mind as I listened to the next ones.

How dare you.

It isn't a "bad" album per say, but The Shins latest, "Port Of Morrow" pales in comparison to their first 3. I still enjoy a good portion of it though.

It's strange, I seem to be in the minority, but apart from a few missteps, I liked this one a great deal. It was no Chutes Too Narrow, but in my opinion on par with some of the rest of their work.

No, I meant Surfer Rosa. Was listening to Bone Machine (the opener on Surfer Rosa) when I typed that out, and I was tired, so my mind got mixed up there. I've done that before on here, coincidentally it was while talking about the Pixies again.

Bossanova. Godawful album amongst three of the best albums ever made (Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Trompe le Monde); Come On Pilgrim is also possibly the greatest EP/mini-LP/whatever-you-want-to-call-it ever made. So as a result I find Bossanova pretty disgusting.

I can get behind this.

Well, Bone Machine by Tom Waits is one of the greatest albums of all time and is much better than Trompe le Monde

Von is pretty abyssal compared to their other stuff. There's only about 6 minutes of actually music on it, which for a 72 minute album is expecting a heck of a lot from the listener.

Very good album, at least the first half.

There are a couple of decent tracks, but it just feels so wrong, it's just no The Clash. I actually really like Combat Rock, but there's just this feel that Cut The Crap has like it shouldn't exist, plus there are some pretty god awful tracks, at least in my opinion.
