The worst album in your collection?

Which is (in your opinion) the worst (original!) album, that you have,
AND KEEP (for whatever reason, collection filler of a great band etc.)
in your collection? (you don't have it for trade)



Mine would probably be Roorback, or Nation by Sepultura. Still nice to have those two.

ITS A BUSINESS DOING PLEASURE by HELIX is one of my worst cd´s i think. Also the last two DIAMOND REXX cd´s were not very good. To modern for my taste but i still bought them because i always have been a fan of their first two albums and one ep.
Also CARNIVAL OF SOULS by KISS is one of the worst cd´s i have in my collection.

St. Anger and Risk. I never listen to either one, yet I can't bring myself to trade/sell 'em. I'm a big Megadeth fan, so I'll probably always hold onto Risk, just to keep the collection in tact. St. Anger, on the other hand, has really soured my opinion of Metallica. Maybe someday I'll part with it.

I used to own Risk. My dad was away for a few days a number of years ago, and he went to the used CD store. He knows Megadeth are one of my favorite bands, so he just picked one of their albums at random. He didn't know it was their worst album.

Well, he tried, I guess. Since my dad doesn't listen to metal, I doubt he'd know which Megadeth albums are good and which ones aren't anyways.

Some collection fillers that I don't like that come to mind:

Belladonna - Spells of Fear

Metallica - St. Anger

Sin Dizzy - Hen's Not Dead

Annihilator - Remains

Jugulator
Demolition

Alien Ant Farm - ANThology - Probably by far...

I LOVE their rendition of Smooth Criminal....and that's it.
My wife got it for me for Christmas so there's some sentiment there....and I can blast Smooth Criminal and annoy her to no end since she loves MJ so much and hates this version!!

Being a bif indie collector, I have too many bad albums to count! One that jumps right to mind is:

Fenris - Fill the Void

Lately I've cleared a lot of lame-o's out of my collection (thanks Lala!) but there are a few that I still hang onto for the sake of having a complete discography by a band, like Judas Priest's DEMOLITION (ugh) and Megadeth's RISK (double ugh!)...although those are exceptions, since I have limited storage space for my CDs I simply can't keep everythigng anymore, so I've begun a campaign of "if it sucks, it's gone"

I actually don't mind this one.

I have a lot of crap, but Crimson Thorn - Unearthed and Dissection come to mind as CDs I hang on to, but dislike and never listen to.

Two come to mind...
1. Mother's Army. It was a supergroup (Joe Lynn Turner etc.) that couldn't write songs. I only keep it because I expect it's pretty rare (don't know).
2. City Slicker by James Young and Jan Hammer. I got it cause I really enjoyed Jan Hammer with Neil Schon; but this one is terrible. It's loud enough to mention on a metal board; but Young seemed clearly drunk during the recording.

"Remains" had a couple of songs on it with some incredible riffing. I think "Reaction" was one of them IIRC.

Jugulator is awesome

I agree that Demolition is one of the weakest in my collection....
Packaging is cool though

Slave Raider - Take the World By Storm

Terrible, terrible album. I found it in some used book store for $2 and I think it's a bit rare which is the only reason I got it.

MACE-PROCESS OF ELIMINATION/THE EVIL IN GOOD

If I remember correctly, it's not too good.

ack

Robert Sweet - Love Trash
Guardian - Bottle Rocket (and Buzz and most of their non-metal/hard rock releases)
Metallica - St.Anger

I'll have to revisit this CD then. I think I only checked it out once. Definitely primitive.

I like this one. Good bluesy L.A. hard rock.

Larry Norman - Stranded in Babylon

I like Larry but this album inhaled very deeply from a garden hose.....
