Unpopular album opinions

My phone died today and so we had to listen to the radio for a few minutes.

Sum 41 came on the radio and I was embarrassed just having it come through my speakers. I was ashamed to have put my wife through that kind of trauma. I thought of myself as a good husband, but now... I mean, if I can't protect my family, what good am I?

It could be worse. It could have been 5 Seconds Of Summer.

if that's the way you feel, well frankly you are a garbage human. now if you actually understood the genius song writing behind 'fatlip' there'd be hope for you.

TBH "Motivation" is better, as the singles go.

But anything off Does This Look Infected? is pretty decent, I'm not even messing with you.

I swear.

Well, that makes me happy!

Can't argue with that

[casecandy]

Now you shitheads have gone too far

[DarkAxel]

Lo, so easy... the hunter became the hunted

[Mudfuzz]

Now you shitheads have gone too far

You only have yourself to blame, this is all your doing, except it and be happy about it

[casecandy]

You only have yourself to blame

But you hide yourself away. You've only got yourself to blame. Get up and get down and get outside.

As much as the band want to play only one song off one, and completely disown the other, Know Your Enemy and Lifeblood are actually pretty good Manic Street Preachers albums:

Incidentally, the latter track was revived for the second half of last year's Holy Bible 20th Anniversary tour, and got bigger cheers than one of the band's alleged "hits" which gets a flatter and flatter reaction with each passing tour. I know I'd sooner have "1985" as a regular in the set over "Your Love Alone is Not Enough".

Here's one to stir shit: Mumford & Sons' first album, Sigh No More (2009), is actually... really good. I owned the normal edition and I liked it so much I ordered the deluxe edition. Physical copies. It's just strong songwriting.

Babel (2012) is pretty okay. Songwriting weakens, becomes more generic, but some very strong songs. Some of them are just enormous live ("Lover of the Light" in particular).

Wilder Mind (2015) is the only really truly shitty M&S album. And it is just mind-bogglingly shitty. But it's shitty for completely different reasons that people usually think M&S would be shitty. (Losing the banjo totally fucking sucked.)

LULU IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD AND LOUTALLICA IS NOT AS BAD AS WE COLLECTIVELY AGREED IT TO BE

also those two Sum 41 singles rip

[snipelfritz]

Fat Lip is an excellent song when I sing it at karaoke.
