Biggest Disappointment of 2016
Who shit the bed in no specific order |
| 1 |  | The Fall of Troy
OK
Great riffs and songs completely handcuffed by awful, brutal production. The bottom end is almost completely absent from this thing, leaving it sounding thin and empty. The attempts to "remaster" it were also equally bad. |
| 2 |  | BADBADNOTGOOD
IV
These guys are hitting a rut, this was really uninspired and very disappointing after offering some new ideas on III. |
| 3 |  | Submotion Orchestra
Colour Theory
Really bland. I think they're relying too much on their deep, hypnotic sound too much to create interest and not doing enough to put forth any interesting ideas. |
| 4 |  | Kanye West
The Life of Pablo
I think I just have to come to terms with the fact that there will never be another Dark Twisted Fantasy. |
| 5 |  | Lady Gaga
Joanne
Some good songs, but it's pretty obvious she's going through an identity crisis. |
| 6 |  | Johnny Foreigner
Mono No Aware
Songs that go nowhere. A really frustrating listen. |
| 7 |  | Saosin
Along the Shadow
It comes across as very unenthusiastic. Anthony is a great singer, but the production makes this whole thing sound very bland. |
| 8 |  | Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
This Unruly Mess I've Made
Production and beats were very safe, and I guess Macklemore just forgot to rap about anything interesting. |
| 9 |  | Hail the Sun
Culture Scars
Lost their aggressive edge, which was really the only thing keeping them from sounding completely generic. |
| 10 |  | Dance Gavin Dance
Mothership
Someone needs to sit me down and explain to me why this is anything better than the million other bands doing the same over-produced, uninteresting stuff. |
