Nofx - Wolves in sheep's clothing
The Vandals - Internet Dating Superstuds
Jesu - Conqueror
Made out of babies - The Ruiner (come on julie pick it up)
Ratatat - LP3 (waaaaay too chill, not as much to dance to)
Russian Circles - Station ("new album" not "last album again")

i guess "big" letdowns is going to be very, very relative...even inside my own list

rilo kiley - under the blacklight
ryan adams - love is hell & rock n roll
le tigre - this island
the breeders - mountain battles
air - 10,000 hz legend
the strokes - first impressions of earth
foo fighters - there is nothing left to lose
wilco - a ghost is born

i know i am in the minority on this one but i think both hail to the thief and in rainbows are pretty weak

8/26/2008 9:32:14 PM

^ i was debating putting hail to the thief, but i like half of the songs

same with the green album...it wasn't what i hoped for, but it's good bubblegum, so it's not a huge letdown

8/26/2008 9:38:08 PM

damn yo, the foo fighters still make music?

8/26/2008 9:40:16 PM

yes.

six albums, the last of which came out last year

but the one i mentioned is the third one, and only four of the songs are worth listening to

it's been downhill since then, which is a shame

foo fighters is a damn good power pop album, and the colour and the shape is a masterpiece

my thoughts exactly good sir.

a few on my list would be:

deftones - self titled
weezer - green album
thursday - war all the time
hopesfall - A Types
Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
Converge - You Fail Me
The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore

a lot of those are good albums too, just not what I expected at all when I got them.

[Edited on August 26, 2008 at 10:13 PM. Reason : like 2007/2008 letdowns]

8/26/2008 10:12:58 PM

^^oh yea I really enjoy the album. But compared to gish, siamese dream, and mellon collie when I got it I was pretty let down.
