The only album I can think of from the top of my head is St. Anger, but then again, that's probably everyone's first thought.
Anything after "American Idiot". Now I have to clarify that I'm talking about the old Green Day when I say I like them. And St. Anger, but that one is obvious.
Chinese Democracy isn't bad, if you pretend it isn't supposedly by GnR.

I'm going to assume that you are talking about the latest Weezer album, in which case: Oh god, yes. THIS!!!omega_peaches said:
Why, Weezer? WHY?!?
Argh! Maroon 5. I can still remember they stole the MTV award for best newcomer from Keane. In retrospect, it's MTV we're talking so no surprises there.ExplosionProofTaco said:
Most of the albums I own are fantastic, but for sake of contributing to the thread: 21st Century Breakdown.
I love some of the tracks on the album but BY GOD THE REST ARE SHIT. If they'd chucked out the "rock opera" concept and just stuck to making decent songs...
The best example is track #5 - Before The Lobotomy, a fantastic song - being followed by #6, Christian's Inferno, which serves no purpose other than to indulge the unfathomable plot.
It is *just about* held up by the good songs, but if the bad songs weren't on there it would be greatly improved.

This. I don't have all of their albums yet, and out of the ones I do have, Systematic Chaos is my least favourite. It's still good, except a lot of the songs aren't that memorable. The only thing I disagree with you on is your opinion of Forsaken. I love that song.chromewarriorXIII said:
Out of curiosity, what would be your favourite album by Dream Theater? Personally mine would be either Metropolis Part II: Scenes From a Memory or Black Clouds & Silver Linings. I haven't heard all of their stuff yet though.
im sorry but its got to be pretty much anything released in the last 2 years. i mean there have been some good albums.......... but all the chavy Hip HOp and lady Gagas have ruined most music for me.
Scenes From a Memory is my absolute favorite with Train of Thought is second. Black Clouds & Silver Linings is pretty awesome, as is Octavarium.Thunderhorse94 said:
I think the only album I like less then Systematic Chaos is When Dream and Day Unite. It's their first album but it doesn't have LaBrie as the singer and instead has Charlie Dominici who's voice I don't really like.
Any album from a "star" Disney just pulled out of its ass. And that new album from the Black Eyed Peas.
Anything after Weezer's Green Album was an incredible disappointment to me.
Also, I tend to forget that the second half of The Mars Volta's "The Bedlam In Goliath" exists. Once that album hits "Tourniquet Man", it dives headlong into silliness, resurfaces into brilliance for a few moments (specifically the end of Agadez and the first half of Ouroburous), and eventually comes together in Conjugal Burns. It's easy to overlook this, though, because the first half is so amazing.

Actually I'd point to The Black Album as the one that ruined the legacy of Metallica, by changing out their previously fairly adventurous song structures and musical ideas for boring standard pop arrangements. I remember the day that album came out, everyone in music class gathered excitedly around the stereo... after about three songs, we were all looking at each other like "is this a joke?".michael_sturtridge92 said:
Other rubbish albums by artists capable of much better include:
Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
Swans - The Burning World
Cibo Matto - Stereo Type A
Rakim - The Seventh Seal
Front Line Assembly - Millennium
Miss Kittin & The Hacker - Two
Mobb Deep - Blood Money
Rancid - Let The Dominoes Fall
... I could easily list 50 more straight off the top of my head but I'm tired and I need sleep.
