Top 5 Disappointing Albums of 2007
1. Wilco - Sky Blue Sky - holy crap this album is boring. please Wilco, no more soft rock.
2. Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger - Two is the only good song on this dozer.
3. The White Stripes - Icky Thump - Think i listened to it twice. That was enough. Finally the Stripes trip up.
4. Interpol - Our Love to Admire - I'm beginning to think they may never come close to Turn On The Bright Lights ever again.
5. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder - I'm not giving up on them quite yet because the live shows are so much fun but this album was definitely a sophomore slump. Satan Says Dance was the only track that stood out and i had heard that from their first tour already.
Stinker of the year goes to:
Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgist - what an utterly flaming piece of poo. please go away Billy Corgan.
