What was your Album let down of 2011 ?

Posted by: Gale 401 on 03 December 2011

This is the biggggggggest album let down of the year for me.

I was so looking forward to this album,

On vinyl and cd.

Had them both on Pre-order for months.

I wish i had not bothered.

Its not the quality of the pressings,Its the content.

The Ry Cooder album was possibly the album of the year for me... either that or Fleet Foxes' breathtaking "Helplessness Blues". I agree that Sufjan Stevens' "The Age of Adz" was awful, a real disappointment, although I think it came out in 2010. Let down of the year for me was PJ Harvey's "Let England Shake" - possibly because I only heard it recently after winning this award and coming top of that end-of-year list, so was expecting to have my mind blown. Not bad by any means, just seems a bit samey and forgettable. I'll stick with it though, hopefully it'll grow on me.

Nigel,

This vinyl album i just ordered because i have all her others and love her music.

I knew it was double vinyl but not 180g or 45rpm.

Its just wonderful.Pressings and content.

Not sure about that one Stu, she did some good stuff but it was filled out with some very medieocre stuff.

Nigel,

I have only had it a couple of days on vinyl.

And have played each side twice this evening as i do with most of my 45rpm vinyl.

To much of a pain to turn over after just one play.

For me its not a let down.

This vinyl album was not a let down when it came out this year.

Its in my top 8  releases this year.

Peter has a copy on vinyl.

Give it a listen the next time you see him.

They have just pressed another load.

Stu.

Everything else they did before this one was nice (if not great).
