Its more pop sure but I dont reconsider it flop. Its just approaching larger fan base and bands needs to change anyway. Their "heavy" stuff gets boring rather quick if theres no variation.
So says who "that album is awesome". So much of it is this awkward electronic-tinged... thing.. this attempt at commercially friendly metalcore but it just sounds like Diet Atreyu. The stuff with Will Putney is solid, but it's easily their weakest yet
Literally, my first thought was how much the new Offspring album hurt me. I love that band and they really broke my heart…talk about letting the bad times roll. :(
@@HughesyTech there are thousands of people who can paint Mona Lisa. Does it mean, they are the same level like Da Vinci? No. They are not. Because it’s not about what you can play or re-do, it’s about what you can come up with, about ideas. And he is obviously full of ideas, when he made so many songs in 2021 that he could made like 3 Blink albums. And people actually like it, and we can be happy that kids, who used to listen to rap are now into pop punk and punk rock.
Unfortunately you are right one with the #1. I remember hearing A Day to Remember in a hot topic when they had just released Homesick and just being in awe how fresh and unique it sounded to now when the only song I can play over on You're Welcome is Last Chance to Dance cause it sounds like something the album could have been. I get bands trying new things and growing as people and artists but sometimes a sharp right turn is not what is needed like this record was
But its fine for you to not like an album, that doesnt make it a bad album though. Just because a different group of people listen to the band now doesnt make them "worse" it just means that the hardcore/metal/whatever scene isnt their main demographic atm. I agree, if i wanted to listen to old school ADTR style sounds, this is not the album i'd listen to. I like all kinds of music though and honestly the songs are pretty damn solid overall, it doesnt matter if they arent heavy to me and many others.
Escape The Fate was a disappointment, since this is the year that a lot of “scene” bands that went soft are going heavy again. I was hoping they would make a super heavy album with guitar solos like Monte (former guitarist)’s, but no, they gave us a trap-driven, watered down pop-punk album instead. EDIT: also, they didn’t include their drummer, Robert, in it. For some reason, they had Brandon Saller and Travis Barker record all the drums on it
I think Thrasher played a big part in why the new album sounds that way considering he’s been writing with Mgk, Avril and stuff but at least we have Dead Rabbitts for Craig’s heavier side 🤷♂️
Black veil brides and escape the fate used to be my 2 favorite bands. But, i could not get into the new albums. The phantom tomorrow had a couple good songs, but like he said every song sounded the same and overall it was just boring. Hearing Andy talk about the concept did sound interesting, but none of it really came across in the songs. I heard like 3 songs in chemical warfare and haven't brought myself to check out the rest of the album. Good bands, but bad albums
@@francisjamesjupiter9376 yeah wretched and divine was amazing but tbh the other concept albums following it were… mediocre at best. I did like most of vale and phantom tommorow had tons of great riffs and quite a few songs I was really into but all of the “rock operas” if you will get worse and worse, like come on BvB you don’t have to do a “rock opera” every album, I mean your self titled was great too (my mom thought they were Metallica, and tbh that isn’t a very far comparison at least comparing to bvb self titled)
Seeing BVB turn “outcasts” into a cliche of their own is so ironic. You’re a massive group of followers claiming to all be unique. At what point are you not unique for being unique anymore?
The things that all of these albums have in common: Good bands getting older and cynical and giving in trends. And aaaall of these songs sound sludgy and awful and computerized.
My thoughts on the albums here: Ok Orchestra- I didn’t listen to it and I refuse to listen to it. I’m done with this band. I hated their first 3 albums with a burning passion and each one was worse than the last imo, with Neotheater being my worst album of 2019. So no I’m done with AJR and I will never listen to this album or any project they do in the future. The Phantom Tomorrow- Meh, it’s whatever. Just like Vale from 2018, I was just more bored than anything. AMV fanatics will get something out of it I guess, but I grew out of that phase a long time ago so this does nothing for me. BVB haven’t been good since Wretched & Divine though so I think it’s time for them to either change things up or call it a day. Chemical Warfare- Not My Problem ft. Travis Barker is my worst song of the year. At a time where we’re still getting through the pandemic, the band writes a song complaining about people with a whine factor that could’ve fit perfectly on Asking Alexandria’s album from last year. Other than that song though, I did find this album bad but in a forgettable way. I don’t really remember much else from it tbh. ETF have really fallen off though and haven’t been good since the self titled album from 2010 imo. Let The Bad Times Roll- My least favorite album of the ones that you mentioned that I actually heard. As a big fan of The Offspring, this one hurts. It didn’t quite make my top 5 WOTY thanks to Coming For You and The Opioid Diaries being great songs imo but it came very close. As much as I hate to say it, Dexter is losing it with his voice and it might be time for the band to call it a day. They made their great albums, they shouldn’t further tarnish their legacy. Single Album- I didn’t hear this one but after hearing about it, I really don’t want to. In general I just haven’t heard much of NOFX’s music so I can’t really have an opinion on this. You’re Welcome- I totally get and understand the hate for this album, especially from long time fans. I however never had a history with ADTR, I’ve never been a fan of their music even at the best of times, and therefore me getting angry with this album would be pointless. Sure it has songs that I absolutely despise like Bloodsucker and especially Everything We Need, but as a whole I just don’t care about it one way or the other. For long time fans, I completely understand and respect their hatred over this, but as someone who isn’t and never was a fan outside of a couple of songs all I can do is shrug my shoulders. It’s not good but I don’t care. I also will not listen to the new Attila album or any of the 9 Psycho Synner albums. They’re worthless to me.
I completely agree. I personally find it very inconsistent how he always trashes Limp Bizkit, Creed and Nickelback, yet always praises Three Days Grace. I'm like "Three Days Waste is NO BETTER than all the other bands you routinely trash!"
@@RockedNet as a Canadian who lived in the same area as Three Days Grace, I can only say this... they're nothing special. but I agree, when have you ever showered them with praise? I've seen a lot of your videos and I don't remember you saying anything positive about them. I saw them live once at the Peterborough Memorial Centre opening for... oh, god, forgive me for this... opening for Nickelback 🤢🤢🤢 TDG easily put on the best show of the night, but when the rest of the bill is The Trews and Nickelback, that's not hard to accomplish
I saw ADTR on the Re-Entry Tour in Springfield, MO, and I thought the songs they played from You're Welcome sounded fine. I think they tried to go as big as they could on this album, even signing to Fueled By Ramen, just to get this out of their system. Songs like Mindreader and Last Chance To Dance (Bad Friend) are solid songs on the album but are the only ones worth coming back to on this album.
I was excited that The Offspring were putting out a new album this year. Too bad to hear that it wasn't worth the wait. And I kind of cracked up at hearing you refuse to listen to Atilla or Psychowhatevertheyrecallingthemselvesthesedays.
Never been a big BVB fan but it's a shame because Andy Biersack's solo work under the name Andy Black is really quite good, feel like he has more to offer
I am, but they'll never top Green Day. They also won't top Sum 41 or Yellowcard. However, I put Black Veil Brides above all the other pop punk bands like Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, The Wonder Years, All Time Low, New Found Glory, Waterparks, The Story So Far, Good Charlotte, State Champs, Boston Manor, The Starting Line, Bowling For Soup, All American Rejects, Real Friends and As It Is.
Let the Bad Times Roll may not the greatest album never but “The Opioid Diaries” really hits hard and shows how messed up pharmaceutical companies are.
I’m not gonna agree with the BVB album for one reason, it’s more of just bland and unnoticeable than bad, which is a lot of their stuff. It’s just kinda there. I don’t think it should be here though
I thought the songs where pretty good on the Offspring album but the production was just really poor. Songs like Behind Your Walls, Hasan Chop and The Opioid Diaries would fit in perfectly with some of their best albums which is why I can’t put the album even close to the top 5 worst albums of the year.
Yeah i'm also a big Offspring fan and this hurts. Not only the immaturity and lack of inspiration but the godawful production style. A few of these songs could've been saved with proper production but unfortunately. I've given up on NOFX a long time ago, they're trying to market the 'look how punk we are, we do zero effort' trope, but that can't last forever. Especially knowing what they used to be capable off, trolling in a way more clever manner. I don't hate these groups for it and i'll like still check out a few live shows of them, but i won't really care for new material. They are truly getting old, but instead of embracing it like some other bands, they still seem in denial.
Let the bad times roll has a lot of killer music on there, but I do agree that the production is all over the place. And after nine years I too was expecting a little more. Can’t agree with everything else though. They may be older but they still got it, as the album does have some great music on there (albeit poor production) Also they still sound amazing Live
Yeah I was a huge Offspring fan for many years but I haven't liked their last two albums at all but I told myself at least I still have my respect for them.......then they fire Pete over a vaccine and sue Greg k. and that respect went out the window.
So before the bvb album came out they played the album on repeat for an entire day at hot topic and I was working that day. It was OK the first 2 times but 6 hours later it was bad. I don't ever wanna hear that album again.
Offspring fans: "OMG its been nine years since our last album!!!" Manu chao fans: *crying in the corner* "he-he'll come b-b-back. He'll come back, y-yes!"
"How did the new Offspring album turn out? About as well as a hack comedian reading dad jokes on open mic night with some four-chord guitar riffs behind him." So, TRAIN, basically? Yea, if you ever do a Regretting The Past on TRAIN, that's their genre: Dad Joke Rock.
@@williampusey8266 worst part is, Hefty Bag isn’t even their worst lyric. Not when compared to half the lyrics of Hey Soul Sister (“My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest” and “So gangsta I’m so thug” especially), the entire bridge of Drops of Jupiter (where he compares missing him to missing fried chicken and soy lattes), the choruses of Meet Virginia (“Well she wants to live her life, then she thinks about her life, holds her head back as she screams, ‘I don’t really wanna live this life’.” Deep, man), or any lines in 50 Ways to Say Goodbye (“Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand” and “She’ll think I’m Superman, not super minivan, how could you leave on Yom Kippur” being examples). Heck, that’s probably not even the worst lyric of Drive By, especially with lines like “My love for you went viral” and “Mmm the way you do me” accompanying it!
It's interesting that both The Offspring and NOFX albums are just 50% of what were supposed to be double albums. NOFX made a bad pun of it and called it "single album" while The Offspring talked about two records, one punk and one pop record, but went this way with a few fillers on it instead. Musicians should maybe learn to just cut out the bad ideas interely if they want their records to be truely appreciated?
That's why The Offspring is usually very quick to cut out lot of new material from live-shows, because except 'you're gonna go far kid', nothing of the last 3 albums really worked with the crowds. They just don't seem to be able to get the feeling back of their old songs, but i'm sure they are aware. They do make poor choices with production though and that's not helping. In NOFX case, this 'not caring, not trying' is the exact concept they try to sell today. They very well know it's a bad but they're just trying to insult their fans as much as possible these days. They're trying to be a parody on the trope punk bands not being supposed to do effort to be considered true punk, but they're going far too meta with this.
@@Nessafox4670 I actually liked The Offsprings last 3 albums You're gonna Go Far kid isn't the only good thing on there Hammerhead, Kristy Are you doing Okay are pretty good.
I've already spotted one of my favorite albums of the year in the thumbnail. I somehow listened to Let the Bad Times Roll so much, that playing Green Day 24 hours a day for a week hasn't been enough to make Green Day my most played band. Is it possible to play a song so much that Spotify starts skipping like a worn out record or cd? That would be good for you guys that hated I guess, Haha. Okay, I'm about to watch the video, but if you absolutely hate that album, can I at least get some respect for Behind Your Walls?
I made a top 5 worst albums of 2021 list myself on RYM. Snobby I know. Putting You're Welcome on the list at #1 was really painful, but it's genuinely how I felt about it. I even listened to Drake and OneRepublic's new albums and none of those albums were as bad as You're Welcome.
My pick for the worst is the new Maroon 5 album. They managed to make songs that sound like nothing, that’s the only way I can describe it. Songs so boring that they practically don’t exist. At least the new ADTR is somewhat entertainingly bad.
Because Maroon 5 has been a sell out for a good decade and a half now. Why would anyone seek for anything new and progressive from them? They're too comfortable being sell outs.
In NOFX defense, Single Album really helped me out through some really hard times during a lockdown while I was stuck in Germany. Fat Mike singing bout depression, drug abuse, disease, getting older, heartache n humanity’s failure through that snarky sarcastic nofx filter was exactly what I needed to get through some really hard times. I understand it’s not everyone’s jam. But some of us old punk rocker’s really needed this one. Otherwise, great list.
That may be the case and yes while that may make the album special to you that doesn't objectively make it a good album. Anyone can have a album, song, or movie that helped them get through a bad time or makes them remember good times. I love St Anger because at the time it came out I was going through a rough time dealing with abuse by my mothers boyfriend at the time the album is special for me it was also my first metallica album I was 12 at the time it came out but I understand most people say it's a bad album. I would say it's not as bad as people say but it's their worst by far. I'm happy you got through hard times and Nofx helped you cherish the album but try to see how people who don't have the same experience would see it.
Another example I just thought of is the reverse My mothers favorite movie is Trick or Treat the bad 80s Metal movie because her bf at the time took her to the theaters to see it on their first date then a year or so later he was killed in a car crash so the movie makes her think of him and that date so it's special to her but it's a terrible movie even Gene Simmons and Ozzy who were in the movie said it was terrible but she loves it.
@@rickyhunt4075 music is inherently subjective my dude, you cant say what objectively makes a good song. While I agree Fat Mike's singing on the album sounds completely blown out and shot, that doesn't change someone's enjoyment of the songs themselves.
@@BUBBA1207 I agree all art is subjective I mean I'm sure somewhere someone is defending Creed, Limp Bizkit, Imagine Dragons, or I've heard people Defend Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. I mean but I'm sure there's people that loved it I haven't listened to all of it I heard a few songs and it didn't make me want to give the others a chance tbh. Sadly Mikes voice is gone it happens to a lot of singers but I think most people including some of their biggest fans were disappointed in the album. For me personally I cringe at the lyrics and antics I mean these guys are too old for this. Lots of older artists and bands have made great music while accepting their age. Don't try so desperately to fit in or get attention it's just kinda sad imo anyway.
I literally cried because of how bad chemical warfare was. Had I heard the album on the radio I would’ve never guessed it was escape the fate. The band that got me really into music let me down😪
Travis Barker's agrent is who you go to if you manage to develop name value and want to stay ever present no matter what people think. Dude is a magician for keeping him Travis relevant.
I forgot about Stirling being on the escape the date album. I was excited about that when it came out since I had just wanted Stirling to get involved in more rock (I generally love her music but the past years there’s been too many pop leanings) but that song was so forgettable… that I forgot about it until this video
Good list, your choices are understandable. Even if I don't dislike new BVB album, I agree that it's generic af. My list is: Dishonorable mentions: AJR-OK Orchestra, Chase Atlantic-Beauty in Death, Escape the Fate-Chemical Warfare, Drake-Certified Lover Boy, Lorde-Solar Power, Maroon V-Jordy, Oh the Horror-1692 10-Pop Evil-Versatile 9-Hippo Campus-Good Dog, Bad Dream 8-Fawn Limbs- Darwin Falls 7-Atreyu-Baptize 6-Iron Maiden- Senjutsu 5-The Offspring- Let the Bad Times Roll 4-Crusade- Rising Visionary 3-Icon for Hire- Amorphous 2-Waterpakrs- Greatest Hits 1-A Day to Remember- You’re Welcome Yeah my number one worst is also ADTR, because as someone who considered them to be in my top 10 all time favorite bands, this album was so bad, soulless and worthless that it was enough to knock them out of top 10 and become my biggest disappointment of all time. I don't think there is an album which disappointed me more than this one. Hope they will improve next time, cause I won't give up on them after one garbage album. If 2nd appears, I turn into full on doomer
A big part of the disappointment for me also comes because of the 16 month wait where they stopped the album coming out themselves, had all that time, and then released THIS.
@@RockedNet Considering that their last album before YW came out in 2016, we had to wait even longer than 16 months overall to get new ADTR and we got...we got what we got
I have heard some of the songs that Psycho Synner put out this year, and I kid you not when I say this: there is a song one of their 9 albums titled “The Torture Never Stops”. …I mean, at least the band is somewhat self-aware of how awful their “music” is, I’ll give them that.
@@ragingstauner6109This is true to an extent. But let's not forget that Dexter was already well into his 30's when Offspring really took off. I remember reading a little blurb in Rolling Stone about "Pretty Fly For A White Guy", and being shocked when it mentioned he was 37. To me it's not so much that they got old and kept making a young man's music, but more that the sense of fun just wore off and began to seem forced.
@@ragingstauner6109 Nah, I think that sadness really does depend on the band playing the music. Bad Religion and Descendents are older than The Offspring and NOFX, and I don't get that feeling about them.
I wouldn't trust Dexter Holland; he looks like the type of guy that would go to the future, buy a sports almanac, then travel back to the present just so he can open a casino.
Regarding Cokie The Clown, I think this might be a result of Fat Mike trying to channel Daniel Johnston. The opening track definitely reminded me of the opener on Hi, How Are You.
the phantom tomorrow had a few good singles, but the rest is really meh. i'm gonna see them live on the trinity of terror tour next year and they're definitely my least anticipated band on that tour, hope they're at least good live.
On the bright side Authority Zeros Ollie Ollie Oxen Free album was one of the best as they still managed their punk sound - most aggressive since their album 12-34
Worst album for me - Limp Bizkit's Still Sucks. Why? Because they're still making music at all. But for my personal and actual "worst" album has got to be Senjutsu. Mainly because the mixing on that album was poor and a little muddled, that I could barely hear Bruce on some of the tracks. Is it the worst album because it's Iron Maiden? No, it's worst album because the production let it down.
Here's my Top 10 worst: 10.) AFI- Bodies 9.) Atreyu- Baptized 8.) Olivia Rodrigo- Sour 7.) Twentyonepilots- Scaled & Icy 6.) Fuel- Anomaly 5.) AJR- OK Orchestra 4.) Maroon 5- Jordi 3.) Capstan- SEPARATE 2.) A Day To Remember- You're Welcome 1.) The Offspring- Let The Bad Times Roll!
Whoa I know that Olivia Rodrigo pick might be a hot take since a lot of people loved that album. I thought it was solid personally so I don’t think it’s worst of the year material, but I’m not in love with it like everyone else. The other picks are understandable though… 😂
@@gcolbyp Honestly 2021 was a really great year for music if only on the fact that there wasn't a whole lot of "Easy Targets" None of these albums (minus the last 2) are what I'd call terrible, especially not Olivia Rodrigo (given how Sour is the only debut album on here) but I wasn't too impressed with it either. Not great. Not terrible. Just a bit mediocre.
Offspring's album grows on you. It's more a guilty pleasure at this point. Not great, but not completely terrible either. Wouldn't call it the worst of 2021 when the year had plenty of shit.
@@aperson4287 I agree they're consistent and I'm a huge fan, but concrete and gold had 2 good songs on it and medicine at midnight is just... Kinda depressing.
You're Welcome by ADTR is definitely their weakest album, no denying that. But at the same time, I actually liked it aha XD I like all of their albums. Best songs off it in my opinion are Degenerates, Resentment, Brick Wall, Mindreader, Permenant, Bloodsucker & Everything We Need.
I deny it. I like it. Bad Vibrations was more boring especially the heavier songs like Paranoia and Bad Vibrations. Unlike most metal fans, I'm not an elitist. I can enjoy Imagine Dragons and Coldplay, which is why my opinion often disagrees with opinionated rock/metalheads. Very catchy album.
@@UndeadOmens I don't understand the hate Bad Vibrations received. I love that album. You're Welcome is worse, but still has some good songs on it. To me I can't think of any song off Bad Vibrations that is bad. I love the song Paranoia, to me it's one of their best songs.
Best is “The Silver Scream 2”. I LOVE ASSAULT & BATTERIES! I actually haven’t heard the entire album yet but I’ve heard all the songs that play on SIRIUS XM Octane! Hip To Be Scared, Rainy Day, and as I said Assault and Batteries are EPIC! I LOVE ASSAULT & BATTERIES! It’s been STUCK IN MY HEAD EVER SINCE I HEARD IT!
I'm a huge fan of The Offspring ... I got every studio release from their self-titled debut through "Days Go By" ... but I never bothered to get LTBTR. Probably said a lot that the local rock station (WMMR) only ever played the title track from the album. Perhaps at some point I'll just get it, but I wasn't keen on it before, and I'm only less inclined now.
I also am a huge fan and have every album on cd. And a few on vinyl. But this new one felt like there wasn't much effort and it's a very short album and his voice just sounds way to overly processed. Very disappointed. There were like 3 songs I thought were ok
@@Coyotek4 Y 100 was great especially in the mid 90s when they would play all sorts of alternative rock and even at one point they had a lunch hour in which they’d play stuff from the 80’s. Listening to that station at that time was magical because whenever they said they were gonna play something new it was almost always an instant classic from Pearl Jam, Radiohead or Green Day. WMMR is still decent but I used to crank the radio on the job site framing houses so WYSP was a little bit heavier with its rotation and got me moving. And in the early 90’s we still had Eagle 106 which was playing Dream Theater’s “Pull Me Under” when that was first released as a single.
The only one from these I listened to is You're Welcome and boy what a disappointment. I didn't even finish listening to it and then completely forgot about it. (I'll spare you all the puns) I hope they return to form with the next one. Bad Vibrations is my second favourite but looks like going independent didn't work out for them for some reason.
It was painful yes for ADTR but I still really enjoy resentment. Also the acoustic ep that came out was so much more satisfying which hurts even more. But that's just my opinion.
I saw A Day To Remember in Rochester, NY in September, on the opening night of their Re-Entry tour. While I didn't like You're Welcome at all, they mostly played the better songs from it. Last Chance To Dance, Resentment, and Permanent came out really well live. I can live without the rest
I agree with what you said, I saw them at Rockville when they subbed in along with Slipknot for Deftones and NIN and came to the same opinion that the songs from You’re Welcome sounded much better live. It does kind of seem like they know that the album isn’t great in the slightest but there are some bright spots on it and they’re gonna play those if any from it. Also not surprised that you listed Last Chance and Resentment cause those were my faves from it as well and probably is the consensus top 2 from others who have listened to it.
@@RApollos107 I've heard a lot of people say they like Permanent as well. I'm still not a huge fan of Degenerates or Everything We Need, but I pretty much figured they'd play them. Mindreader was good live too. I just wish the bridge was better
I saw them in September, and while I firmly dislike You’re Welcome as an album, some of the songs are really strong individually. They played Resentment, Last Chance, Permanent, Rescue Me, Degenerates and Everything We Need. All of those songs translated very well to a live setting and were totally enjoyable. Edit: They also played Mindreader, which was very good as well.
@@pacificdrumma I agree with you! I liked the studio version of Rescue Me, but I thought it was way better live. Even Everything We Need came out better live.
I was at that show as well( lives in buffalo) and as a guy that seen ADTR 17 times then never put on a bad show... while you're welcome wasn't my favorite album.... I'm sure there a worst albums then this one.... agree with everything you said.... but I disagree that this is a top 5 worst from 21 hahahaha... everything we need. Is a tear jerker for me
You're Welcome had some solid tracks imo (Mindreader, Last Chance to Dance, Resentment, and Permanent) but those aren't enough to feel absolutely disappointed by the album. I really hope they can improve on the next album.
When I went back and later in the year, the songs I even thought were passible felt like a chore to get through. I also hope they can improve on the next album.
For me I think Atreyu’s new album this year was the most disappointing. I had high hopes, then I heard warrior which is simplistic which is being nice. Although as a single I could get past it, and then the album dropped and I realized the whole thing is like that. It was kind of soul crushing considering it was the only thing I was even kind of looking forward to this year.
This is exactly how I felt about it. I popped it on getting ready to hear the hard hitting stuff I've come to expect of Atreyu and thought Warrior might be the one off softer one of the album. I got bored 3 songs in which was crushing.
@@descendintostanarchy yea same here. I look forward to the harder hitting stuff both musically and emotionally but the new album had neither. It was the worst kind of disappointment because it wasn’t like crash and burn terrible, it was just boring. Atreyu is capable of so much more as a band and as artists.
@@XStormieX if you want something really great from this year, Eyes Wide Open released an album called Through Life And Death and its everything I wanted in the Atreyu album
As someone who listened to ALL 9 albums from Psycho Synner...believe me when I say that you are not missing a thing! 😂 That worm of a lead singer from that band responded to my comment on one of their videos saying that Psycho Synner music makes FFDP look like a beginner band. 😂 Bottom line, FFDP and Nickelback will never have the worst song again things to Jeremy "devil daddy" Spencer.
Gotta love ADTR making a generic pop rock album is the worst of the year. Guess the new direction from generic metalcore/punkmetal didn't really play out to well. I thought the album was fine over all. If the rose-colored glasses for this band didn't exist yeah it would still be bad, but worst album of the year? Nah.
for a second i thought you were going to make the joke that all five slots were going to go to Psycho Synner but i completely understand where you're coming from lol 😂
I maintain Pop Evil released the worst album this year. I have never seen a band's quality drop so fast as if it was trying to tunnel to the center of the earth
i absolutly adore escape the fate but i do have to admit chemical warfare was not a great album i did really like a few songs but i really think the label is pushing ideas on them because if you listen to craigs side project its soooooo different. and only one i say fuck you on is the black veil brides new album i did really enjoy it through and through but we each have our tastes
I remember giving BVB a chance right after coming out of high school, and noticing the only songs on the album I listened to that I had a higher opinion of than "meh" were *the acoustic versions* of other songs on the album. Probably not a good sign for a *metal* band. Also on the Escape the Fate section: Why are the lightning bolts during that clip of the music video so awful lmao?
So, basically the worst of this year can be summed up as "washups and has-beens." Kinda like that Danzig album from last year, but stretched out much further.
As a huge escape the fate fan (saw them 13 times, have 3 escape the fate tattoos) chemical warfare was their worst album. There are a couple of good songs on the album but after that I was so disappointed in it but I still support them since they are overall super sweet guys and they do have talent once they get over the phase of trying to be mainstream 🤷🏻♀️
Just came back from listening to ADTR's new album and my god, was it boring. I'm not saying they're a bad band because they're absolutely not, however them taking the Imagine Dragons route by making overly-produced songs is not my thing tbh. Best wishes for them because I used to like them a lot, but I'm so tired of hearing millenial whoops for over 10 years by now.

Worst album i heard isn't really rock, but that Billie Eilish album was awful to me. My favourite was Nature Always Wins by Maximo Park
@@DashieNegan41
They're basically dad-metal equivalent of The Shaggs. So absurdly bad it's a spectacle.
Ask again in 18 days , There are still more releases soon Supposedly . ; )
It was definitely ADTR’s album. I like the band, don’t get me wrong, but it’s nowhere near the quality once was
Hey... At least Lindsay got paid. 🥴
1:30 "Its just a phase...you'll grow out of it...".. Is that a quote from Faith No More's classic song, "Caffeine"? If so, well done, Sir!!
It‘s a quote from your mom
For the best albums of 2021- ice nine kills’ silver scream 2 welcome to horrorwood NEEDS to be on there. Every song is awesome!
Yes. Somehow they took the great Silver Scream and made it BETTER. It's amazing man and deserves the recognition from Luke
@@temmeh2665 ink was mentioned once on lukes channel discussing metalcore bands, But overall they need way more attention
my number one album of this year
Top album, also imminence new album is fresh breathe of metalcore sound and definitely a new album
I second this. The album is near flawless.
ADTR's flop of an album is more mind-blowing when you realize Jeremy helped produce Wage War's "Manic," which was a stellar album. It's bizarre.
Its more pop sure but I dont reconsider it flop. Its just approaching larger fan base and bands needs to change anyway. Their "heavy" stuff gets boring rather quick if theres no variation.
So says who "that album is awesome". So much of it is this awkward electronic-tinged... thing.. this attempt at commercially friendly metalcore but it just sounds like Diet Atreyu. The stuff with Will Putney is solid, but it's easily their weakest yet
True, Manic beats You're Welcome in many ways
@@mmf-rules Not even a contest.
Jeremy has production credits on ALL of Wage War's albums, so it makes no sense how he could fumble the ball that badly with his OWN band
Literally, my first thought was how much the new Offspring album hurt me. I love that band and they really broke my heart…talk about letting the bad times roll. :(
@@Wheels36H3WM no, def their worst album. Days go bay was actually pretty good
Finally, someone has said it!
*That's exactly how I feel about Travis Barker, he works with anyone and everyone 🤦*
The Snoop Dogg of drumming.
And imo he's not that impressive of a drummer
@@Shizl_Gzngahr agreed he's ok he's got a groove. But not anything that anyone else can't do
@@HughesyTech he hits the symbols to much imo
@@HughesyTech there are thousands of people who can paint Mona Lisa. Does it mean, they are the same level like Da Vinci? No. They are not. Because it’s not about what you can play or re-do, it’s about what you can come up with, about ideas. And he is obviously full of ideas, when he made so many songs in 2021 that he could made like 3 Blink albums. And people actually like it, and we can be happy that kids, who used to listen to rap are now into pop punk and punk rock.
Unfortunately you are right one with the #1. I remember hearing A Day to Remember in a hot topic when they had just released Homesick and just being in awe how fresh and unique it sounded to now when the only song I can play over on You're Welcome is Last Chance to Dance cause it sounds like something the album could have been. I get bands trying new things and growing as people and artists but sometimes a sharp right turn is not what is needed like this record was
But its fine for you to not like an album, that doesnt make it a bad album though. Just because a different group of people listen to the band now doesnt make them "worse" it just means that the hardcore/metal/whatever scene isnt their main demographic atm. I agree, if i wanted to listen to old school ADTR style sounds, this is not the album i'd listen to. I like all kinds of music though and honestly the songs are pretty damn solid overall, it doesnt matter if they arent heavy to me and many others.
Escape The Fate was a disappointment, since this is the year that a lot of “scene” bands that went soft are going heavy again. I was hoping they would make a super heavy album with guitar solos like Monte (former guitarist)’s, but no, they gave us a trap-driven, watered down pop-punk album instead.
EDIT: also, they didn’t include their drummer, Robert, in it. For some reason, they had Brandon Saller and Travis Barker record all the drums on it
Damn I didn't know that, I just listen to dead rabbitts, reminds me of og etf
I think Thrasher played a big part in why the new album sounds that way considering he’s been writing with Mgk, Avril and stuff but at least we have Dead Rabbitts for Craig’s heavier side 🤷♂️
I think Robert wasn't in it due to studio recording issues and covid-19 restrictions
They went down hill when Ronnie left
@@Gio102897 dying is your latest fashion was the best but craig I think is a better singer than ronnie but not a better lyricist unfortunately
"they peaked in high peaked in high school detention" is the best insult i ever heard
Black veil brides and escape the fate used to be my 2 favorite bands. But, i could not get into the new albums. The phantom tomorrow had a couple good songs, but like he said every song sounded the same and overall it was just boring. Hearing Andy talk about the concept did sound interesting, but none of it really came across in the songs. I heard like 3 songs in chemical warfare and haven't brought myself to check out the rest of the album. Good bands, but bad albums
Eh I really liked born again, blackbird, torch and hell even crimson skies, and shadows rise
I miss the heavier stuff.
They trying to make R&D again witch has been they problem for a while now
@@francisjamesjupiter9376 yeah wretched and divine was amazing but tbh the other concept albums following it were… mediocre at best.
I did like most of vale and phantom tommorow had tons of great riffs and quite a few songs I was really into but all of the “rock operas” if you will get worse and worse, like come on BvB you don’t have to do a “rock opera” every album, I mean your self titled was great too (my mom thought they were Metallica, and tbh that isn’t a very far comparison at least comparing to bvb self titled)
@@francisjamesjupiter9376 i actually really liked wretched and divine. Just can't get into the phantom tomorrow
Seeing BVB turn “outcasts” into a cliche of their own is so ironic. You’re a massive group of followers claiming to all be unique. At what point are you not unique for being unique anymore?
The things that all of these albums have in common: Good bands getting older and cynical and giving in trends. And aaaall of these songs sound sludgy and awful and computerized.
see, this is why emo groups never lasting more than three albums is a blessing in disguise.
@@jimmy3people0 Agreed.
My thoughts on the albums here:
Ok Orchestra- I didn’t listen to it and I refuse to listen to it. I’m done with this band. I hated their first 3 albums with a burning passion and each one was worse than the last imo, with Neotheater being my worst album of 2019. So no I’m done with AJR and I will never listen to this album or any project they do in the future.
The Phantom Tomorrow- Meh, it’s whatever. Just like Vale from 2018, I was just more bored than anything. AMV fanatics will get something out of it I guess, but I grew out of that phase a long time ago so this does nothing for me. BVB haven’t been good since Wretched & Divine though so I think it’s time for them to either change things up or call it a day.
Chemical Warfare- Not My Problem ft. Travis Barker is my worst song of the year. At a time where we’re still getting through the pandemic, the band writes a song complaining about people with a whine factor that could’ve fit perfectly on Asking Alexandria’s album from last year. Other than that song though, I did find this album bad but in a forgettable way. I don’t really remember much else from it tbh. ETF have really fallen off though and haven’t been good since the self titled album from 2010 imo.
Let The Bad Times Roll- My least favorite album of the ones that you mentioned that I actually heard. As a big fan of The Offspring, this one hurts. It didn’t quite make my top 5 WOTY thanks to Coming For You and The Opioid Diaries being great songs imo but it came very close. As much as I hate to say it, Dexter is losing it with his voice and it might be time for the band to call it a day. They made their great albums, they shouldn’t further tarnish their legacy.
Single Album- I didn’t hear this one but after hearing about it, I really don’t want to. In general I just haven’t heard much of NOFX’s music so I can’t really have an opinion on this.
You’re Welcome- I totally get and understand the hate for this album, especially from long time fans. I however never had a history with ADTR, I’ve never been a fan of their music even at the best of times, and therefore me getting angry with this album would be pointless. Sure it has songs that I absolutely despise like Bloodsucker and especially Everything We Need, but as a whole I just don’t care about it one way or the other. For long time fans, I completely understand and respect their hatred over this, but as someone who isn’t and never was a fan outside of a couple of songs all I can do is shrug my shoulders. It’s not good but I don’t care.
I also will not listen to the new Attila album or any of the 9 Psycho Synner albums. They’re worthless to me.
This is officially a Lindsey Sterling appreciation comment section now.
Lindsey Stirling is a Queen
Shes so talented, also amazing legs
I don't listen to her, but my best friend loves her so I like her because of that
Mad respect to anyone who can make a living at what you love. I wish I could review music for a living. Congrats on growing the channel. 🎉
The second "The Offspring Let the bad times roll" was shown I immediately got an ad that started with a fart. How appropriate.
Nice to see Limp Bizkit not on here, that album was worth the wait and has its tongue firmly lodged in its cheek lol.
I completely agree. I personally find it very inconsistent how he always trashes Limp Bizkit, Creed and Nickelback, yet always praises Three Days Grace. I'm like "Three Days Waste is NO BETTER than all the other bands you routinely trash!"
Didn't even know they were still around, let alone put out a new album.
@@joshalan5125 Please point out the videos were I always praise Three Days Grace. I want to know exactly what you are referring to.
@@jeanpaulmichell7243 Was a nice lil surprise digital release by the band and it was nice to hear they were just having a little fun this time around.
@@RockedNet as a Canadian who lived in the same area as Three Days Grace, I can only say this... they're nothing special. but I agree, when have you ever showered them with praise? I've seen a lot of your videos and I don't remember you saying anything positive about them.
I saw them live once at the Peterborough Memorial Centre opening for... oh, god, forgive me for this... opening for Nickelback 🤢🤢🤢 TDG easily put on the best show of the night, but when the rest of the bill is The Trews and Nickelback, that's not hard to accomplish
I saw ADTR on the Re-Entry Tour in Springfield, MO, and I thought the songs they played from You're Welcome sounded fine. I think they tried to go as big as they could on this album, even signing to Fueled By Ramen, just to get this out of their system. Songs like Mindreader and Last Chance To Dance (Bad Friend) are solid songs on the album but are the only ones worth coming back to on this album.
Couldn’t agree more. I enjoy those tracks but I can’t listen to any others.
Every time I see someone write adtr I get confused and think they're talking about at the drive in
@@idontknow-re9dx wouldn't that be ATDI
@@scrapp1368 it would be but my first reaction is still that
Same
I was excited that The Offspring were putting out a new album this year. Too bad to hear that it wasn't worth the wait. And I kind of cracked up at hearing you refuse to listen to Atilla or Psychowhatevertheyrecallingthemselvesthesedays.
The worst part is that they said all the right things "going back to basics" but just seemed to be lying. It felt like they just didn't care.
Never been a big BVB fan but it's a shame because Andy Biersack's solo work under the name Andy Black is really quite good, feel like he has more to offer
I am, but they'll never top Green Day. They also won't top Sum 41 or Yellowcard. However, I put Black Veil Brides above all the other pop punk bands like Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, The Wonder Years, All Time Low, New Found Glory, Waterparks, The Story So Far, Good Charlotte, State Champs, Boston Manor, The Starting Line, Bowling For Soup, All American Rejects, Real Friends and As It Is.
Let the Bad Times Roll may not the greatest album never but “The Opioid Diaries” really hits hard and shows how messed up pharmaceutical companies are.
I’m not gonna agree with the BVB album for one reason, it’s more of just bland and unnoticeable than bad, which is a lot of their stuff. It’s just kinda there. I don’t think it should be here though
Facts so songs are great on the album and I like how Shadows Rises kinda relates to Shadows Dies
I do understand why he did put it here
I thought the songs where pretty good on the Offspring album but the production was just really poor. Songs like Behind Your Walls, Hasan Chop and The Opioid Diaries would fit in perfectly with some of their best albums which is why I can’t put the album even close to the top 5 worst albums of the year.
Yeah i'm also a big Offspring fan and this hurts. Not only the immaturity and lack of inspiration but the godawful production style. A few of these songs could've been saved with proper production but unfortunately. I've given up on NOFX a long time ago, they're trying to market the 'look how punk we are, we do zero effort' trope, but that can't last forever. Especially knowing what they used to be capable off, trolling in a way more clever manner. I don't hate these groups for it and i'll like still check out a few live shows of them, but i won't really care for new material. They are truly getting old, but instead of embracing it like some other bands, they still seem in denial.
Let the bad times roll has a lot of killer music on there, but I do agree that the production is all over the place. And after nine years I too was expecting a little more.
Can’t agree with everything else though. They may be older but they still got it, as the album does have some great music on there (albeit poor production) Also they still sound amazing Live
Yeah I was a huge Offspring fan for many years but I haven't liked their last two albums at all but I told myself at least I still have my respect for them.......then they fire Pete over a vaccine and sue Greg k. and that respect went out the window.
@@paleridertexas loudness war destroyed it, and it’s an otherwise promising album, albeit with fairly “established” style. Thanks Bob Rock.
I didn’t think it was ever possible that a band can butcher their own song. But the offspring did that with gone away
I keep waiting Gor Offspring to do something close to Ixnay, but they don't seem to care anymore.
So before the bvb album came out they played the album on repeat for an entire day at hot topic and I was working that day. It was OK the first 2 times but 6 hours later it was bad. I don't ever wanna hear that album again.
Offspring fans: "OMG its been nine years since our last album!!!"
Manu chao fans: *crying in the corner* "he-he'll come b-b-back. He'll come back, y-yes!"
Wait…. You weren’t actually under the impression that there was a point in time anywhere in history when Fat Mike could actually sing.
"YOU DONT NEED TALENT; JUST SING OUT OF TUUUNE"
"How did the new Offspring album turn out? About as well as a hack comedian reading dad jokes on open mic night with some four-chord guitar riffs behind him."
So, TRAIN, basically? Yea, if you ever do a Regretting The Past on TRAIN, that's their genre: Dad Joke Rock.
Todd In The Shadows: "HEFTY BAG!?!?!?!"
@@williampusey8266 worst part is, Hefty Bag isn’t even their worst lyric. Not when compared to half the lyrics of Hey Soul Sister (“My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest” and “So gangsta I’m so thug” especially), the entire bridge of Drops of Jupiter (where he compares missing him to missing fried chicken and soy lattes), the choruses of Meet Virginia (“Well she wants to live her life, then she thinks about her life, holds her head back as she screams, ‘I don’t really wanna live this life’.” Deep, man), or any lines in 50 Ways to Say Goodbye (“Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand” and “She’ll think I’m Superman, not super minivan, how could you leave on Yom Kippur” being examples). Heck, that’s probably not even the worst lyric of Drive By, especially with lines like “My love for you went viral” and “Mmm the way you do me” accompanying it!
Man, it still shocks me that you don't have at least 10x the subscribers that you do. Great stuff as always. Keep up the great work.
It's interesting that both The Offspring and NOFX albums are just 50% of what were supposed to be double albums. NOFX made a bad pun of it and called it "single album" while The Offspring talked about two records, one punk and one pop record, but went this way with a few fillers on it instead. Musicians should maybe learn to just cut out the bad ideas interely if they want their records to be truely appreciated?
The problem is they don't know which ones were fillers or bad ideas
@@rickyhunt4075 True, it's tough to know if a song is good or not if your the one who made it
That's why The Offspring is usually very quick to cut out lot of new material from live-shows, because except 'you're gonna go far kid', nothing of the last 3 albums really worked with the crowds. They just don't seem to be able to get the feeling back of their old songs, but i'm sure they are aware. They do make poor choices with production though and that's not helping. In NOFX case, this 'not caring, not trying' is the exact concept they try to sell today. They very well know it's a bad but they're just trying to insult their fans as much as possible these days. They're trying to be a parody on the trope punk bands not being supposed to do effort to be considered true punk, but they're going far too meta with this.
It's because they have no self esteem. .
@@Nessafox4670 I actually liked The Offsprings last 3 albums You're gonna Go Far kid isn't the only good thing on there Hammerhead, Kristy Are you doing Okay are pretty good.
I heard that the new The Offspring album was a disappointment and I’m sad. I loved many of their songs from the 90’s and 00’s.
as a huge and loyal bvb fan i couldn’t agree more everything past the 3rd album sounds the same and it’s just saddening
I've already spotted one of my favorite albums of the year in the thumbnail. I somehow listened to Let the Bad Times Roll so much, that playing Green Day 24 hours a day for a week hasn't been enough to make Green Day my most played band. Is it possible to play a song so much that Spotify starts skipping like a worn out record or cd? That would be good for you guys that hated I guess, Haha. Okay, I'm about to watch the video, but if you absolutely hate that album, can I at least get some respect for Behind Your Walls?
He rips it pretty hard, idk why. I thought it was really solid
I made a top 5 worst albums of 2021 list myself on RYM. Snobby I know. Putting You're Welcome on the list at #1 was really painful, but it's genuinely how I felt about it. I even listened to Drake and OneRepublic's new albums and none of those albums were as bad as You're Welcome.
When Drake and OneRepublic are making better music than A Day To Remember, something's wrong.
My pick for the worst is the new Maroon 5 album. They managed to make songs that sound like nothing, that’s the only way I can describe it. Songs so boring that they practically don’t exist. At least the new ADTR is somewhat entertainingly bad.
Because Maroon 5 has been a sell out for a good decade and a half now. Why would anyone seek for anything new and progressive from them? They're too comfortable being sell outs.
In NOFX defense, Single Album really helped me out through some really hard times during a lockdown while I was stuck in Germany. Fat Mike singing bout depression, drug abuse, disease, getting older, heartache n humanity’s failure through that snarky sarcastic nofx filter was exactly what I needed to get through some really hard times. I understand it’s not everyone’s jam. But some of us old punk rocker’s really needed this one. Otherwise, great list.
That may be the case and yes while that may make the album special to you that doesn't objectively make it a good album. Anyone can have a album, song, or movie that helped them get through a bad time or makes them remember good times. I love St Anger because at the time it came out I was going through a rough time dealing with abuse by my mothers boyfriend at the time the album is special for me it was also my first metallica album I was 12 at the time it came out but I understand most people say it's a bad album. I would say it's not as bad as people say but it's their worst by far. I'm happy you got through hard times and Nofx helped you cherish the album but try to see how people who don't have the same experience would see it.
Another example I just thought of is the reverse My mothers favorite movie is Trick or Treat the bad 80s Metal movie because her bf at the time took her to the theaters to see it on their first date then a year or so later he was killed in a car crash so the movie makes her think of him and that date so it's special to her but it's a terrible movie even Gene Simmons and Ozzy who were in the movie said it was terrible but she loves it.
I enjoyed some songs more than others. But the only song i flat out hated was Fuck Euphemism because the message was just really egotistical BS.
@@rickyhunt4075 music is inherently subjective my dude, you cant say what objectively makes a good song. While I agree Fat Mike's singing on the album sounds completely blown out and shot, that doesn't change someone's enjoyment of the songs themselves.
@@BUBBA1207 I agree all art is subjective I mean I'm sure somewhere someone is defending Creed, Limp Bizkit, Imagine Dragons, or I've heard people Defend Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. I mean but I'm sure there's people that loved it I haven't listened to all of it I heard a few songs and it didn't make me want to give the others a chance tbh. Sadly Mikes voice is gone it happens to a lot of singers but I think most people including some of their biggest fans were disappointed in the album. For me personally I cringe at the lyrics and antics I mean these guys are too old for this. Lots of older artists and bands have made great music while accepting their age. Don't try so desperately to fit in or get attention it's just kinda sad imo anyway.
"Fake and incincere"
So we've basically been given the Nostalgia Critic of ADTR albums. THAT'S how badly they messed up, and I'm not even a ADTR fan
I literally cried because of how bad chemical warfare was. Had I heard the album on the radio I would’ve never guessed it was escape the fate. The band that got me really into music let me down😪
Same, it only really had 2 good songs 🥲
Travis Barker's agrent is who you go to if you manage to develop name value and want to stay ever present no matter what people think. Dude is a magician for keeping him Travis relevant.
Goes to show that there’ll always be awful albums even in a year that was overall pretty great for metal/rock
I forgot about Stirling being on the escape the date album. I was excited about that when it came out since I had just wanted Stirling to get involved in more rock (I generally love her music but the past years there’s been too many pop leanings) but that song was so forgettable… that I forgot about it until this video
Great video! Btw maybe as a video idea you could do a ranking/tier list of all the original songs written for James Bond films?
beartooth, rise against, wage war definitely have to feature in a top albums of the year
Edit. And bullet for my valentine
Talks of the Best albums????why that so good albums
The New bfmv's isn't good. It's just "average". It's a way worse than Gravity

@@boohzr better than this one I'm sure it's
Tbh Andy's solo work has been way more enjoyable to listen to versus recent BVB

Dishonorable mentions: AJR-OK Orchestra, Chase Atlantic-Beauty in Death, Escape the Fate-Chemical Warfare, Drake-Certified Lover Boy, Lorde-Solar Power, Maroon V-Jordy, Oh the Horror-1692
10-Pop Evil-Versatile

5-The Offspring- Let the Bad Times Roll
4-Crusade- Rising Visionary
3-Icon for Hire- Amorphous
2-Waterpakrs- Greatest Hits
1-A Day to Remember- You’re Welcome
Yeah my number one worst is also ADTR, because as someone who considered them to be in my top 10 all time favorite bands, this album was so bad, soulless and worthless that it was enough to knock them out of top 10 and become my biggest disappointment of all time. I don't think there is an album which disappointed me more than this one. Hope they will improve next time, cause I won't give up on them after one garbage album. If 2nd appears, I turn into full on doomer
A big part of the disappointment for me also comes because of the 16 month wait where they stopped the album coming out themselves, had all that time, and then released THIS.
@@RockedNet Considering that their last album before YW came out in 2016, we had to wait even longer than 16 months overall to get new ADTR and we got...we got what we got
Really i thought Iron Maiden was great unfortunately BVB was awful
Fr? I thought the new Waterparks was easily their best, I’ve never liked them in the past but there were some fucking bangers on Greatest Hits
@@jacobbelyea7945 I thought it wss insufferable on every level and by fsr their worst, but glad you got something out of it
I actually really like Resentment and Mindreader honestly. But the rest of the album is nothing
I didn't even know Black Veil Brides and NOFX released music this year lol
I'm eagerly awaiting your top 10 best 👍
I have heard some of the songs that Psycho Synner put out this year, and I kid you not when I say this: there is a song one of their 9 albums titled “The Torture Never Stops”.
…I mean, at least the band is somewhat self-aware of how awful their “music” is, I’ll give them that.
I liked Offspring in 1994, but it seemed like every album got worse and worse, and by the time "Original Prankster" came out in 2000, I checked out.
There is just something innately sad about men in their 50s playing a genre so associated with teenagers.
@@ragingstauner6109This is true to an extent. But let's not forget that Dexter was already well into his 30's when Offspring really took off. I remember reading a little blurb in Rolling Stone about "Pretty Fly For A White Guy", and being shocked when it mentioned he was 37. To me it's not so much that they got old and kept making a young man's music, but more that the sense of fun just wore off and began to seem forced.
@@dustyoldtapes580 Yeah, I stopped listening to them at the same moment you did. It sort of coincided with me not being a teenager anymore.
@@ragingstauner6109 Nah, I think that sadness really does depend on the band playing the music. Bad Religion and Descendents are older than The Offspring and NOFX, and I don't get that feeling about them.
Everything that I used to like about Escape The Fate is gone. Ungrateful was the last album that had anything memorable.
I wouldn't trust Dexter Holland; he looks like the type of guy that would go to the future, buy a sports almanac, then travel back to the present just so he can open a casino.
Regarding Cokie The Clown, I think this might be a result of Fat Mike trying to channel Daniel Johnston. The opening track definitely reminded me of the opener on Hi, How Are You.
I honestly loved let the bad times roll but I do see how some people really dislike it
the phantom tomorrow had a few good singles, but the rest is really meh. i'm gonna see them live on the trinity of terror tour next year and they're definitely my least anticipated band on that tour, hope they're at least good live.
Crimson skies,fall eternal,Shadow Rise and the wicked one
Black veil brides tried the old nickelback formula to make this record and fail miserably
On the bright side Authority Zeros Ollie Ollie Oxen Free album was one of the best as they still managed their punk sound - most aggressive since their album 12-34
Worst album for me - Limp Bizkit's Still Sucks.
Why? Because they're still making music at all.
But for my personal and actual "worst" album has got to be Senjutsu. Mainly because the mixing on that album was poor and a little muddled, that I could barely hear Bruce on some of the tracks. Is it the worst album because it's Iron Maiden? No, it's worst album because the production let it down.
I mean everyone can have their own opinion and everything , but yours is straight up shit

Cool story troll, now grow up past high school already.
Offspring in the thumbnail scares me. I loved that album.
Same. My favorite album of the year (just because they're my favorite band), just wish it was longer
Here's my Top 10 worst:
10.) AFI- Bodies
9.) Atreyu- Baptized
8.) Olivia Rodrigo- Sour
7.) Twentyonepilots- Scaled & Icy
6.) Fuel- Anomaly
5.) AJR- OK Orchestra
4.) Maroon 5- Jordi
3.) Capstan- SEPARATE
2.) A Day To Remember- You're Welcome
1.) The Offspring- Let The Bad Times Roll!
Whoa I know that Olivia Rodrigo pick might be a hot take since a lot of people loved that album. I thought it was solid personally so I don’t think it’s worst of the year material, but I’m not in love with it like everyone else.
The other picks are understandable though… 😂
@@gcolbyp Honestly 2021 was a really great year for music if only on the fact that there wasn't a whole lot of "Easy Targets"
None of these albums (minus the last 2) are what I'd call terrible, especially not Olivia Rodrigo (given how Sour is the only debut album on here) but I wasn't too impressed with it either. Not great. Not terrible. Just a bit mediocre.
@@hellonurd8957 Okay fair enough
You should check Dungeon Wolf on Bandcamp their album awful
I agree except for Olivia
Offspring's album grows on you. It's more a guilty pleasure at this point. Not great, but not completely terrible either. Wouldn't call it the worst of 2021 when the year had plenty of shit.
The Foo fighters disco album was the first time I was angry at a Foo fighters album. Literally nothing redeemable.
If you're referring to medicine at midnight, that albums pretty good imo, Foo Fighters are one of the most consistent bands out there.
@@aperson4287 I agree they're consistent and I'm a huge fan, but concrete and gold had 2 good songs on it and medicine at midnight is just... Kinda depressing.
@@theseth455 the disco album was just awful imo. It's a joke that wears out fast.
Proud to say these albums happen to mostly be bands just hitting their wall rather than just being bad bands, opinions may vary.
I don’t care what everyone says about ‘You’re Welcome’, I really like this album and I think it’s another good ADTR album
Didn’t Brendon Small already do Cokie the Clown like ten years ago? How dare they defile the grave of Dr Rockzo
You're Welcome by ADTR is definitely their weakest album, no denying that. But at the same time, I actually liked it aha XD I like all of their albums. Best songs off it in my opinion are Degenerates, Resentment, Brick Wall, Mindreader, Permenant, Bloodsucker & Everything We Need.
Last chance to
dance
Agreed
I deny it. I like it. Bad Vibrations was more boring especially the heavier songs like Paranoia and Bad Vibrations. Unlike most metal fans, I'm not an elitist. I can enjoy Imagine Dragons and Coldplay, which is why my opinion often disagrees with opinionated rock/metalheads. Very catchy album.
@@UndeadOmens I don't understand the hate Bad Vibrations received. I love that album. You're Welcome is worse, but still has some good songs on it. To me I can't think of any song off Bad Vibrations that is bad. I love the song Paranoia, to me it's one of their best songs.
@@vin_fm2354 Oh yeah that's a good one too
You're Welcome was a heartbreaker, What the hell happened to them...
Best is “The Silver Scream 2”. I LOVE ASSAULT & BATTERIES! I actually haven’t heard the entire album yet but I’ve heard all the songs that play on SIRIUS XM Octane! Hip To Be Scared, Rainy Day, and as I said Assault and Batteries are EPIC! I LOVE ASSAULT & BATTERIES! It’s been STUCK IN MY HEAD EVER SINCE I HEARD IT!
I can’t even understand how You’re welcome is worse than Let the bad times roll but ok lol. Great video regardless.
Also I like Bloodsucker 🥴🥴
I like the phantom tomorrow I honestly prefer it over their other story album but I do agree their sound is getting old
I'm a huge fan of The Offspring ... I got every studio release from their self-titled debut through "Days Go By" ... but I never bothered to get LTBTR. Probably said a lot that the local rock station (WMMR) only ever played the title track from the album.
Perhaps at some point I'll just get it, but I wasn't keen on it before, and I'm only less inclined now.
I also am a huge fan and have every album on cd. And a few on vinyl. But this new one felt like there wasn't much effort and it's a very short album and his voice just sounds way to overly processed. Very disappointed. There were like 3 songs I thought were ok
Popping on WMMR reminds me how much I miss WYSP.
@@freeparking301 I miss the variety too (Y100, anyone?) ... but as an only option (unless you count 'classic rock' stations), it's good enough.
@@Coyotek4 Y 100 was great especially in the mid 90s when they would play all sorts of alternative rock and even at one point they had a lunch hour in which they’d play stuff from the 80’s. Listening to that station at that time was magical because whenever they said they were gonna play something new it was almost always an instant classic from Pearl Jam, Radiohead or Green Day. WMMR is still decent but I used to crank the radio on the job site framing houses so WYSP was a little bit heavier with its rotation and got me moving. And in the early 90’s we still had Eagle 106 which was playing Dream Theater’s “Pull Me Under” when that was first released as a single.
2023 dawns...still listening to "You're Welcome" and loving it.
The only one from these I listened to is You're Welcome and boy what a disappointment. I didn't even finish listening to it and then completely forgot about it. (I'll spare you all the puns)
I hope they return to form with the next one. Bad Vibrations is my second favourite but looks like going independent didn't work out for them for some reason.
It was painful yes for ADTR but I still really enjoy resentment. Also the acoustic ep that came out was so much more satisfying which hurts even more. But that's just my opinion.
12:31 that sounded exactly like that terrible "Like a Virgin" audition...
I saw A Day To Remember in Rochester, NY in September, on the opening night of their Re-Entry tour. While I didn't like You're Welcome at all, they mostly played the better songs from it. Last Chance To Dance, Resentment, and Permanent came out really well live. I can live without the rest
I agree with what you said, I saw them at Rockville when they subbed in along with Slipknot for Deftones and NIN and came to the same opinion that the songs from You’re Welcome sounded much better live.
It does kind of seem like they know that the album isn’t great in the slightest but there are some bright spots on it and they’re gonna play those if any from it.
Also not surprised that you listed Last Chance and Resentment cause those were my faves from it as well and probably is the consensus top 2 from others who have listened to it.
@@RApollos107 I've heard a lot of people say they like Permanent as well. I'm still not a huge fan of Degenerates or Everything We Need, but I pretty much figured they'd play them. Mindreader was good live too. I just wish the bridge was better
I saw them in September, and while I firmly dislike You’re Welcome as an album, some of the songs are really strong individually. They played Resentment, Last Chance, Permanent, Rescue Me, Degenerates and Everything We Need. All of those songs translated very well to a live setting and were totally enjoyable.
Edit: They also played Mindreader, which was very good as well.
@@pacificdrumma I agree with you! I liked the studio version of Rescue Me, but I thought it was way better live. Even Everything We Need came out better live.
I was at that show as well( lives in buffalo) and as a guy that seen ADTR 17 times then never put on a bad show... while you're welcome wasn't my favorite album.... I'm sure there a worst albums then this one.... agree with everything you said.... but I disagree that this is a top 5 worst from 21 hahahaha... everything we need. Is a tear jerker for me
You're Welcome had some solid tracks imo (Mindreader, Last Chance to Dance, Resentment, and Permanent) but those aren't enough to feel absolutely disappointed by the album. I really hope they can improve on the next album.
When I went back and later in the year, the songs I even thought were passible felt like a chore to get through. I also hope they can improve on the next album.
Agreed
It’s probably their last album
The Phantom Tomorrow is about the outcast society being the villains...
Let the bad times roll definitely wasn't that bad of an album, it wasn't the offsprings best work, but it still had some good songs on thete
Any of the Tramp Stamps albums that came out in 2021,
Tramp Stamps is the feminist revenge for "Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Ruined A Generation Of Women".
Just discovered this sight. Great stories!! And it doesn't hurt that you're so handsome!! Liked and subscribed!!
So given I’m hearing this list in 2023, I’m assuming Metallica would make the worst list for this year… 72 seasons was bad, repetitive,trash.
For me I think Atreyu’s new album this year was the most disappointing. I had high hopes, then I heard warrior which is simplistic which is being nice. Although as a single I could get past it, and then the album dropped and I realized the whole thing is like that. It was kind of soul crushing considering it was the only thing I was even kind of looking forward to this year.
This is exactly how I felt about it. I popped it on getting ready to hear the hard hitting stuff I've come to expect of Atreyu and thought Warrior might be the one off softer one of the album. I got bored 3 songs in which was crushing.
@@descendintostanarchy yea same here. I look forward to the harder hitting stuff both musically and emotionally but the new album had neither. It was the worst kind of disappointment because it wasn’t like crash and burn terrible, it was just boring. Atreyu is capable of so much more as a band and as artists.
@@XStormieX if you want something really great from this year, Eyes Wide Open released an album called Through Life And Death and its everything I wanted in the Atreyu album
@@descendintostanarchy thanks I’ll check that out
@@descendintostanarchy I’ve listened to half of the album and had to come back just to say THANK YOU! 😁 you were spot on
As someone who listened to ALL 9 albums from Psycho Synner...believe me when I say that you are not missing a thing! 😂
That worm of a lead singer from that band responded to my comment on one of their videos saying that Psycho Synner music makes FFDP look like a beginner band. 😂
Bottom line, FFDP and Nickelback will never have the worst song again things to Jeremy "devil daddy" Spencer.
There are songs by FFDP and Nickelback that I do like I will gladly listen to them over that hack fraud Jeremy Spencer
Gotta love ADTR making a generic pop rock album is the worst of the year. Guess the new direction from generic metalcore/punkmetal didn't really play out to well.
I thought the album was fine over all. If the rose-colored glasses for this band didn't exist yeah it would still be bad, but worst album of the year? Nah.
for a second i thought you were going to make the joke that all five slots were going to go to Psycho Synner but i completely understand where you're coming from lol 😂
Last Black Veil Brides album I listened to was "Wretched and Divine", and that was back in late middle school.
When 3/4ths of the Rock Coliseum have ADTR as the worst album, you know something is up.
My friend told me to listen to this new Escape The Fate album. I gave it a fair shake...
It is one of the worst albums I have ever heard in my life.
The only one worst album Is youre welcome
Worst 5 I’ve heard
5. BVB
4. Attila
3. Asking Alexandria
2. Escape the Fate
1. ADTR
2022 will be a busy year for rock January is already packed with releases from big names in rock
Rocked Have you reviewed The Myth of the Happily Ever After by Biffy Clyro?
I maintain Pop Evil released the worst album this year. I have never seen a band's quality drop so fast as if it was trying to tunnel to the center of the earth
Nah that album Is good,good choruses
A Day To Remember had sooo much potential and then they just threw it away. It's really sad to see....
i absolutly adore escape the fate but i do have to admit chemical warfare was not a great album i did really like a few songs but i really think the label is pushing ideas on them because if you listen to craigs side project its soooooo different. and only one i say fuck you on is the black veil brides new album i did really enjoy it through and through but we each have our tastes
I remember giving BVB a chance right after coming out of high school, and noticing the only songs on the album I listened to that I had a higher opinion of than "meh" were *the acoustic versions* of other songs on the album. Probably not a good sign for a *metal* band.
Also on the Escape the Fate section: Why are the lightning bolts during that clip of the music video so awful lmao?
So, basically the worst of this year can be summed up as "washups and has-beens."
Kinda like that Danzig album from last year, but stretched out much further.
A career in music makes Westpoint look tame in comparison
Much harder to be a musician than a marine
As a huge escape the fate fan (saw them 13 times, have 3 escape the fate tattoos) chemical warfare was their worst album. There are a couple of good songs on the album but after that I was so disappointed in it but I still support them since they are overall super sweet guys and they do have talent once they get over the phase of trying to be mainstream 🤷🏻♀️
I think from the lead single, Zombified, Falling in Reverse are already front runners for 2022.
I like zombified
Just came back from listening to ADTR's new album and my god, was it boring. I'm not saying they're a bad band because they're absolutely not, however them taking the Imagine Dragons route by making overly-produced songs is not my thing tbh. Best wishes for them because I used to like them a lot, but I'm so tired of hearing millenial whoops for over 10 years by now.
