" [ This album ] was so underwhelming on multiple levels . It ’s just cogent evidence , at this decimal point , their fanbase will bribe anything . "
Recently, IaskedtheBuzzFeed Communitywhich overhyped albums they were super excited for, only to end up being super disappointed once they released.
Here are 11 of their top responses:
Note : These are not my ( the writer ’s ) view !
1.“The Tortured Poets DepartmentbyTaylor Swift. I respect her work ethic — that I will always acknowledge. But I feel like she’s found an algorithm that works for her, and she’s just repeating the same song over and over again at this point.”
2.“For me, it wasLoverby Taylor Swift. She had such fun and colorful marketing, and I was so pumped for the release. Then, when she released “Me!” it was a letdown, but I was still optimistic because I don’t usually enjoy her collaborations much anyway. When the album dropped, I just remember being so disappointed in it.”
3.“Ariana Grande’sEternal Sunshine. Honestly, I was holding out so so much hope, and it just sucks. All of it.”
4.“Adele’s30album.21and25were so life-defining for me, so when she released ‘Easy On Me’ as a single, I could not WAIT for the album. I went out and bought the CD the day it was released. Three tracks in, I thought someone was playing a practical joke on me.”
5.“The Recordby boygenius. Apparently, they make music for sad queer women, but this sad queer woman was not impressed. 🤣”
6.“BLACKPINK’sThe Albumwas so underwhelming on multiple levels. It’s just proof, at this point, their fanbase will buy anything.”
7.“Way back in the day, in 1986, as a young tween, Bruce Springsteen’sLive: 1975-1985was touted as the ‘must-have Springsteen album.’ It was priced outrageously for the times ($75 for the three-set CD if I remember correctly). My parents gifted it to me for Christmas — it was fine, but IMO, a bit overpriced and overrated.”
8.“I’m a HUGE fan of The National, and I know a lot of people putI Am Easy To Findas their top album, but I just don’t get the hype.”
9.“Blurred LinesbyRobin Thicke. Love the song. Listened for the rest of the album, and I was let down yet again.”
10.“Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous KilljoysbyMy Chemical Romance. I REALLY wanted to love that album, and the whole Killjoys storyline was quite cool, but the album itself was such a disappointment at the time. I think part of the problem was that we just expected so much afterBlack Parade, and we got a ‘just okay’ album.”
11.And finally: “I’m a huge Maggot [Slipknot fan], but I could barely listen to all of.5: The Gray Chapterby Slipknot. It felt like the songs built up suspense as you waited for a scream, blasting guitar, or another element of metal, but it just kept you waiting.”
