Worst Metal Albums of All Time

haha I'll fix it!

There's quite a few on that list that I do enjoy.I must be more forgiving than others.


There's a couple others I've never even heard (St. Anger,Chinese Democracy,Slang) and really don't intend to.



And I'm really curious about that Killen. (or should I be?)

Wow that list was stupid. I like most of those albums especially Kiss- the Elder. There are far worse albums than the ones on that list. Those wouldn't have even made my top 100.

Nahh, I've heard that album before, I understand your point. What's your issue with "World Demise" though?

Usually, I try to find SOMETHING I like about an album, but there's been a few that have pissed me off over the years:

Killen- (Uhh I think it was a self titled, either that or it was so shitty I blocked the title from memory)
Judas Priest- Demolition, Ram It Down
Helloween- Chameleon
Megadeth- Risk (Mustaine fanboy to the end, but this has WAYYYYY more cons than pros)
Metallica- Load, Reload, St. Anger


There's plenty of others, but those are the most uh infamous I guess.

Also, the guy that wrote the original list is pretty much a smacked ass, but Kudos on "Fear Of The Dark". That's a REALLY boring Maiden record.

i like St. Anger. it's got an awesome drum sound.

Because I don't listen to much metal, I've only heard a few terrible metal albums:

Metallica - St. Anger
Black Sabbath - Forbidden
Megadeth - Risk
Judas Priest - Turbo, Jugulator & Demolition
Iron Maiden - The X Factor & Virtual XI
Ozzy Osbourne - Scream
Alice Cooper - Constrictor, Raise Your Fist and Yell & Trash
Halford - Made of Metal
KISS - Lick It Up, Animalize, Asylum, Crazy Nights & Hot in the Shade
(although some of these albums aren't really "metal")

Whatever is the lengthiest \"thebandthatshallneverbementionedagain\"/Limp Bizkit/Papa Roach or such album.

But probably the worst metal album is something we never even heard because it didn't make the band famous enough to be hated.

What most people list are something closer to "the most disappointing" metal albums ever.

Though Fear of the Dark and Jugulator are both awesome.

With World Demise, they just changed so much that it wasn't even the same band I liked to me. Sure it was the same members for the most part, but to change that drastically irritated me immensely. I was a HUGE Obituary fan until I bought that album back in the day.

I agree that disappointing is much more accurate.

I personally LOVE "Bark at the Moon" that was the album that introduced me to Ozzy.

Slang is crap although there are a couple of good songs like "Breathe a Sigh" and "Deliver Me."

St. Anger is unlistenable, although... I do have a friend that likes that album, but his favorite bands are System of a Down and Tool... SOOOO... Nuff said.

Metallica - St Anger
Megadeth - Risk
Mortification - The Silver Chord is Severed
Belladonna - Spells of Fear
Black Sabbath - Forbidden
Body Count - (everything)
Queensryche - (everything after Empire)

Judas Priest- Demolition

Ooooh Lord, YES! How could I possibly have forgotten that one?

I was just listening to BC's first album today. That record is actually somewhat awesome in an unintentionally hilarious, cartoonish, stupid kind of way, but everything else they released... pass.

Accept - Eat the Heat

X-T-C from that album is great! The U.D.O. version is even better.

Celtic Frost - Cold Lake

I like this one.

Ill go with Shannon and TZ on:

Mortification - The Silver Chord is Severed

then

Motley Crue - Generation Swine
Grim - Scepter of Blood
Torn Flesh - Crux of the Mosh
Force 3 - Warrior of Light
Bride - Fistfull of Bees
Kiss - Carnival of Souls
Ozzy - Down to Earth

I like those and Ozzy's Bark at the Moon

Everything AC/DC and MOTORHEAD for me. Both bands are legendary, but all their albums are plain boring repetitive stuff to my ears, sorry (personal opinion).

I don't see how anyone could consider Ozzy's 'Bark at the Moon' to be one of the worst heavy metal albums of all time. I sometimes wonder if the people who write these best of/worst of articles have even listened to the music they put on these lists.

This is a true statement. Why? Because this album exists:

Damn, I forgot about. I definitely need to find a link to that again.

their 3rd album, Violent Demise...The Last Days was actually pretty good.

KILLEN are instant giggle starters for sure, but there are some other bands which can give them a good run for their money:

THE PREACHERS - abysmal white metal misunderstanding, from Germany:



Behold the mighty KUSTER - they even managed to release a handful of vinyl EPs, all self-released of course!:



The mega-awesome THRASH QUEEN. This was released on an actual record label and claimed to be the first all-female thrash band ever. Although rumored to be a fake band...



KILLER FOX - Orgasm of Death. Label-mates with the mighty THRASH QUEEN, and equally retarded too. Rumor sez it the actual band perished in a car accident while recording the album, so label staff finished it on their own...



KRATOS - this actually sounds plausible, until the vocalist opens his mouth... what a rush! If you live in NY and see this vinyl, buy it, it usually fetches 3-digit sums on eGay...



MITHRANDIR - bizarre and hippie NWOBHM sung by an evil eunuch...



SATAN'S MASSACRE - Evil satanic bedroom metal, made in 1986:



And last but not least: the one and only WHEELZ OF STEEL:

Oh yeah, I forgot about some of these so I am adding them

Ozzy Osbourne - Scream
Iron Maiden - The X Factor, Virtual IX and Final Frontier
Judas Priest - Nostradaumus
Overkill - From the Underground and Below
Kreator - Endorama
Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid
Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera
Vio-lence - Nothing to Gain
Fear Factory - Demanufacture, Fear Is the Mindkiller, Obsolete, Digimortal, Archetype, Transgression
Apocalyptica - Plays Metallica by Four Cellos
Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics
Cradle of Filth - Vempire and all the others that followed!
Freak Kitchen - Spanking Hour
Children of Bodom - all of them
Megadeth - Cryptic Writings


damn I hate a lot of smurf poo!! HAHAHA

Ozzy's 'Bark at the Moon' sucks as an album, because
1) the original production seemed muddy / soft as poo
2) there were only 4 good songs out of 8

"X Factor" is a very good album and "Sign of the Cross" is an excellent song.

Dyin' at some of Stormspell's videos. Man, that's some crap right there.
