Wildly inconsistent albums

What are the most wildly inconsistent albums you've ever heard? And I don't mean a few really good songs and a few pretty bad ones. I mean albums that in your opinion have all time great songs, as well as pathetic/horrible/boring as shit songs. Obviously, since it's taken to extremes, there aren't really many albums that fall into this "wildly inconsistent" category. For me personally the best example is Kid A. Everything In It's Right Place is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. I also think Optimistic and Idioteque are incredible songs. On the other hand, I think Treefingers is rather terrible and bores the hell out of me, and Kid A is annoying and terrible too. For most of the other songs I don't feel very strong one way or another. Another good one is Angles by The Strokes. Machu Picchu, Two Kinds Of Happiness, and Taken For A Fool are blissfully awesome songs. Conversely, You're So Right and Games are atrocious, almost completely unlistenable songs. I like basically every other songs quite a bit, but those two bring the album way down for me. The only other album that I've heard that comes close to this level is Light Grenades by Incubus, but nothing is quite good enough for me to consider all time great. So what about the rest of you? What albums can you think of with both all time great songs and all time bad ones (more than one of each, making the entire listen inconsistent).

I agree 65% with TracyJacks. And to me, as I said before, the songs are also different in quality.

A Saucerful of Secrets is brilliant throughout though.

Why 65%? What mathematical formula did you use?

Everything about that album is pushed to the extremes, so naturally some of it knocks you senseless and others just bleed your ears

🤣

No formula, actually. Just an estimation/a wild guess.

Love that album. It's just so insane.
