[you be betty]

someone is bored at work

[vansmack]

Just about every sophomore effort where the self-indulgent lead singer took himself a little too seriously after the surprise and overwhelming success of the debut effort...

I wanted to love the new Josh Rouse album, because I paid an arm and a leg to preorder it. But it sucks. At least I got a free subscription to Paste out of the deal.

Maybe he meant to post in the other thread. That would make more sense...

thats the beauty of emusic - it was available for download a few weeks prior to release and when I realized it sucked, I could comfort myslef that it only cost me about $2.50 worth of downloads

wow.  this is in my top five albums of the '90s for sure.

[renton007]

I'd say that these were albums "I thought would be good" instead of "wanted to love".
 
 Already mentioned and in agreement:
 CYHSY had only a few likeable qualites
 OK Computer is well done but Radiohead are not my bag.
 
 Not mentioned:
 The last Mars Volta album
 The Bends
 Horses - Patty Smith
 Broken Social Scene
 Jody Foster's Army - We Know You Suck
 The White Stripes - The White Stripes
 Big Black - Atomizer
 The Stone Roses
 
 These just come to mind without much effort; I'm sure there are plenty more.
