Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes -- Trash it Up Quite possibly the worst album I ever bought.

I like Up, but most of Reveal is pretty bad and I haven't bothered to sit through Around The Sun...

BTW, the only acceptable Stones answer is Dirty Work or possibly Steel Wheels. Undercover is a lost classic, and VL, B2B and ABB are all decent to great.

those two are possibly my two favourite Stones albums post-Tattoo You :lol: I know that Dirty Work kinda sucks but I enjoy it far more than the (to me) calculated attempts at being the Stones (VL, B2B and ABB). Steel Wheels can go together with those easily, but I enjoy it slightly more. I need to give Undercover a second chance I suppose...

Monsters of Folk was a disappointment no doubt, and the majority is kinda "meh" but "all time crap"? No way, it's decent but not near what they could've done.

Monsters of Folk is a decent album but really bogs down in the last third or so. And Zip I thought Embryonic was much better than Mystics.

No way! Phenomenal album, their best in over a decade. Mystics, on the other hand, has a couple of great songs, but is comprised mostly of EZ-listening Brian Wilson muzak with the cheesiest keyboard tones and most annoying electronic sound effects they could muster. And it also has Haven't Got A Clue on it, which sounds like it was written and performed by a group of five year olds.

The minority grows.
I wouldn't call it a crap release, but it never grabbed me.

It has a few good songs. I like "Losing Your Head," "Temezcal," and the M. Ward song that goes, "Driving 'round the streets of Chicago, singing 'I Still Miss Someone,'" or something like that. Can't remember the name.

I hate hate HATE the drum tone on this album, though. They sound programmed, which, who knows, might be the case.

I absolutely love Eminence Front, so I choose to pretend that it was a non-album single release. Face Dances was no masterpiece either, though Another Tricky Day kicks ass

To me Embryonic is a return to the Soft Bulletin glory days and a move away from the trite, commercial childish crap that had become the norm on Mystics and Yoshimi (to a lesser extent).

Yoshimi is my favorite. Mystics is okay. Embryonic is junk. Soft Bulletin is good by overrated


Zip I think you and I need to have a death match. We never seem to agree on anything. :lol:

Built To Last by The Dead has to be rather high up on the list I would think.

true, but a lot of the songs on that album were pretty solid live. Hell, Go to Heaven was pretty poor overall as well

total agreement w/ Jack Flash here. This was the best FL record since Soft Bulletin.
