Underrated albums that you absolutely love

That’s why I’m honestly convinced there isn't a single soul on this planet who actually enjoys The Matrix 😁

In my opinion, Maiden was an incredible band right up until that second album with Dickinson... after that, they just started getting way too predictable...

It’s tough to pin down exactly which albums fall into the "total flop" category, but these immediately come to mind:

The Pogues - Peace and Love😳
Bryan Ferry - Boys and Girls😁
If we’re deciding that every Velvet Underground record after their debut was a failure, then we might as well throw Loaded into that pile too.
The Police - Synchronicity
And now for the absolute garbage:🤮
David Bowie - Never Let Me Down
Man, when I first heard that one, it was my introduction to him, so I didn't even have anything else to compare it to.

Two of Bowie’s absolute peak albums have to be "Station to Station" and "Lodger"—honestly, it feels like some fans haven't even given them a fair shake, let alone realized how underrated they actually are.🙂

I’m actually sitting here listening to those two right now, so I’ll get back to you soon! 😁

As for New Adventures in Hi-Fi... yeah, I'd totally agree with you there.

Honestly, it feels like I'm usually on the same page as the majority—well, except when it comes to those last two Pink Floyd albums (A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell)... and regarding Animals? Man, I think that one gets way too much hype! I mean, Dogs and Sheep are great, sure, but the whole thing is just three songs longer than two minutes! 😁

It's the same deal with Kid A; I feel like people love it almost as much as they love OK Computer.

And Depeche Mode - Exciter? That's an absolute classic in my book! Though I guess most fans just want to spit on it, huh?

There are plenty of things where I don't really share the common opinion... but here goes nothing:
Massive Attack - 100th Window
The Cure - Mixed Up
Belle & Sebastian - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant

Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Queens of the Stone Age /
Nirvana - Bleach
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Violence
Green Day - Freakonomics
Dismemberment Plan - Change
Slint - Spiderland
Ramones - Mondo Bizzaro
Soundgarden - Down on the Upside
Smashing Pumpkins - Machina
Audioslave - Self-Titled
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Bad Religion - Grey Race

I think Bowie's Earthling is a fantastic album...
Station to Station is alright, though since we're talking about Bowie, it’s honestly nothing special.
And while I love David more than my own mother, Lodger is just... well, it's garbage. 😁

But where are the Ramones🙂?

"cabbies on crack" 😂
"strength to endure" 🤣
"anxiety" 😵

It feels like they just tossed everything else from the Post It's Alive discography straight into the recycling bin 😬 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈

Alright, fine. I'll try to wrap my head around why you aren't a fan of "Yellow Cabs" or "Anxiety," but "Strength to Endure"?! Seriously, how could anyone possibly dislike that track? 😲

Kevin Chavez3 said:Look, I get it if you aren't feeling "Yellow Cabs" or "Anxiety," but "Strength to Endure"?! Seriously, how can anyone not vibe with that track? 😲

Preach!
Man, there's just no saving you at this point 🙂

I'm right there with you—Exciter is an absolute gem to me too... 😍

Well, looks like it’s a gorgeous sunny day for the real estate market—the rising tide might just lift all boats! 😍 😍 😍

tilt — 'til it kills

finalnifantazista said:The Cure - Mixed Up

I honestly adore this album... actually, I think these are the absolute best versions of 'Lovesong,' 'Fascination Street,' and 'Pictures of You.'🙂

television personalities - the painted word
The Microphones-blood
Black Flag-Jealous Again

you might as well toss that bin into the recycling along with the scraps of the It's Alive discography😬 😈 Man

look, that's just the way things go😬 but honestly—how can you call it "anxiety"😲 that song was basically the first punk anthem for me and my best buddy😍 it was because of that specific album that I actually put in the work to learn the Ramones

I’d love to ask Narantxa where they hid their Bleach album😬 though I'm genuinely baffled by the obsession with Freakonice in both instances😲

ramones- mondo bizzaro
bad religion- grey race

Seems like this has become some kind of trend lately... 😬 Personally, I’m all about these, but Audioslave and "in / casino / out" are total trash to me. Can't recall "Tweeza," and I haven't heard the rest...
