You guys know we like to post other people's lists and call it "Shit List" ('cause you get to shit all over it, see?) -- but this one is a Shit List in the truest! Blender put together their selections for "The Most Disasterous Albums Of All Time," or records that took unhealthy tolls on artists' careers. No rank, no order, just the infamous-record listings:
MC Hammer - The Funky Headhunter. Gangsta Hammer. Bad idea.
Garth Brooks - In The Life Of Chris Gaines. Garth's failed Ziggy Stardust.
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk. The inevitably commercially-disappointing follow-up to Rumours.
The Electric Prunes - Mass In F Minor. Classical-psych rock fusion. Another bad idea.
Peter Frampton - I'm In You. Folks had enough Frampton for awhile after Comes Alive
Mariah Carey - Glitter. Soundtrack to a horrible film and released on 9/11/01. Doomed.
Moby - Animal Rights. moby goes hard rock (look ma, no caps!)
Kiss - [Music From] The Elder. Concept album about immortal, energy based beings. Exactly what their fan base wanted!
The Happy Mondays - Yes Please! - Recorded in Barbados with Shaun Ryder on a healthy diet of 50 rocks of crack a day.
Tusk? Really? Anyway, the list isn't meant to be exhaustive, so we figure you guys could chime in. What records can you think of that signalled an artist's point of no return? We'll help get you started: Playing With Fire. Your turn.

Tusk rules.
Score = 0
Tusk is a great album. Although it obviously didn't sell like Rumours, it did sell something like 4MM copies at a, for that time, high list-price. I think it's a stunning record, timeless AND reflective of its time, and more like the Beatles' White Album than anything else on the Shit List.
Score = 0
Yeah, what the fuck. Tusk is incredible, just awesome. I mean, "Save Me A Place"? Come on!
Score = 0
"Playing with Fire" is Spacemen 3's best album, I don't get that one at all.
I also really liked "Animal Rights" and, well, one certainly can't say that it hurt his career unless you're talking long-term 'I'm gonna get stuck in a rut rather than trying something new' sorta way.
I might offer the selftitled Suicide Machines record but I haven't listened to it enough to feel comfortable doing so.
Score = 0
The problem with "Tusk" is that they used the USC marching band on the title track and not teh UCLA marching band.

A couple of really good album came out on 9/11. Is this it? (in the US, at least), and The Moldy Peaches first and last album save their b-sides collection. I'm sure there are others.

Dylan and Ben Folds both had great albums released on 9/11. I don't think Strokes came out on 9/11.
Also, agreed Tusk is awesome. Silly Blender.

a few come immediately to mind...
the wallflowers 3rd album really killed the momentum they had accumulated with their 2nd album 'bringing down the horse'. *cue people chiming in that the wallflowers "always sucked"*
elefant's 2nd album was horrifically awful. their debut wasn't great by any means, but at least seemed promising.
you could maybe argue that 'use your illusions' destroyed guns'n'roses. i mean, they were pretty much done anyway despite the success of the album, but with the overblown excess of that double album, i wonder if there was really anywhere for them to go... could they ever recapture whatever had originally made them popular?
i thought interpol really suffered in terms of media attention after their 2nd album. while it may have received good reviews (though i personally didn't like it), i get the impression it didn't sell that well. they certainly don't seem as ubiquitous as they used to, but that might just be a product of time...
neat concept for an article... thanks for the post!
Score = 0
Elton John's "Victim Of Love". Complete disaster. "Leather Jackets" is not far behind.
BTW, TUSK RULES!!!! 'Think About Me', 'Sisters of the Moon', 'Never Forget', 'Sara', 'Angel', 'That's All For Everyone', 'Walk A Thin Line', 'Beautiful Child', 'Brown Eyes', 'Over & Over'...these are all great songs. If there is a problem with Tusk, it is the sequencing. Starting the album with a really slow (but still beautiful) song like 'Over & Over' was a mistake. And they could have honed it down to a really great single lp by leaving off some of Lindsey's weirder tracks like 'Not That Funny'.

This list is pretty terrible - not only is Tusk a fantastic record, but the Electric Prunes' Mass in F Minor is a David Axelrod-produced near-masterpiece (just ask everyone who has sampled it!). Right now, it's looking like DJ Shadow's The Outsider and OutKast's Idlewild should be added to that list. If we go by the criteria of records that took a huge toll on a band's career, the Beach Boys' Smiley Smile should also be included. Maybe Courtney Love's solo record, too?

I agree with Thierry, 'Mass in F Minor' was a great album.

I love all of the Fleetwood Mac fans who frequent this site.
And yes, 'Tusk' is a fantastic album that does not belong on this list at all. I'd even go so far as saying it's Fleetwood Mac's *best* album. Even if you disagree, you've got to at least admit it's their most interesting. The production is incredible, and perfect for the songs.
Damn, I'm about to go listen to it again.

I know these aren't indie rock, but from my childhood:
Smashing Pumpkins - Adore

Pearl Jam - No Code
And I think Playing with Fire was a Fed-Ex reference, not Spacemen 3.

not exactly "career crippling" but Pink Floyd's 1983 album The Final Cut should have been their final cut.
Score = 0
Dylan and Ben Folds both had great albums released on 9/11.
Jay-Z's The Blueprint came out on 9/11, too.
Score = 0
Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music.
Score = 0
Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" is a great album and, in our current political climate, strangely prescient. And of course, the only reason "Tusk" is on the list is because, yes, the album did kinda tank at the bank.
But how could it not? The Mac followed a gazillion-platinum "Rumours" with a Lindsey Buckingham sound project (for the most part). All the things that turned off those late 1970s kids are the things that make "Tusk" so damn essential today. It is the strangest pop album in pop music history, but the sonic inventiveness would be copied by millions of indie rock kids and Elephant 6 devotees.
Blender, while financially correct with this, missed the mark nonetheless.

Bob Dylan has crippled his career at least 4 times (Self Portrait, Slow Train Coming, Knocked Out Loaded, and Under the Red Sky) and has arguably done it many more times, but, of course, he limps his way back up to the top every time.

While I don't think it's a bad record, "Worlds Apart" certainly seems to have damaged Trail Of Dead's career, especially judging by the rather dispirted interview Conrad gave Pitchfork recently.

I'll go to bat for Big Generator any day of the week, suckaz! I actually prefer it to 90125.
Have to agree, though, with whoever it was above that pointed out Animals Rights was released directly before Moby's biggest selling album of his career. If the rock album crippled his career, he's got miracle Jesus drugs!

I am seeing an ad for The Who's new album at the bottom of the comments thread but it could just as easily be the latest comment.

U2's "Pop" and all their subsequent releases have been a disaster. If only their popularity had dwindled to support my outrageous claim...

"Cyberpunk" by Billy Idol.
"End of the Century" by the Ramones (even though I like it).

"Raised on Radio" by Journey.
"Kilroy was Here" by Styx.
"VH III" by Van Halen.

The Boo Radleys, "C'mon Kids". Though it's actually rather good.

QUEEN - HOT SPACE
Queen follows the huge commercial success of THE GAME with a funk record? The "Body Langauge" video didn't help matters.
The lp bombed and QUEEN never recovered in the US until WAYNE's WORLD revived them. (I speaking USA here.)
Personally, I love the record, too bad it predated the funk revivial of the mid-late 80's.

I've always been in the opposite camp - keep all of Lindsay's weird stuff and cut a couple of Christine McVie's poppier tunes (and maybe even a Nicks track, but her songs are generally stronger here). It's the Mac album with McVie's weakest, most pedestrian contributions (coming right after the one with some of her best). Including them might have given the album a better shot at commercial success, but that wasn't in the cards, anyway. Its biggest flaw is that it's trying to play to the band's commercial appeal and experimentation simultaneously, and would have made for a better, consistently weirder cult album. It's still pretty darn great, though; glad to see so many other people hold it in such esteem.
Score = 0
I don't think people understand the idea of a career-crippling record. It's not just bad, guys. It's so bad that an artist/band's career is put on indefinite hiatus.
That said, Playing With Fire is automatically exempt. How can it cripple a career that doesn't exist?
Score = 0
Whoever said "Brighten The Corners" is now on my personal shit list. Most underrated Pavement album and also my personal fave.
How about The Green Album. Most disheartening moment in my music listening life.
I doubt they're popular here, but Toxicity was a killer album that I think was either released on or a week prior to 9/11.

Mercury Rev's "All is Dream". Another 9-11 release.

Phil Collins' "Both Sides" followed two huge solo albums and two equally successful Genesis albums (hey, if people are going to discuss "Big Fucking Generator"...) but, despite the usual massive tour, decimated his sales track record. It's his second-best album (after "Face Value"), pretty much demos influenced by the Blue Nile and John Martyn, and it's much more satisfying than anything he's done since, most of which has seemed too eager to please in the aftermath of that derailment. Also, the cover had a brown-and-tan color scheme, a virtual guarantee of chart disaster.
Score = 0
"Tusk? Really?"
my thoughts, exactly... yes, it did somewhat tank, but to call it "career crippling"? that's over-reaching a bit. You can't really blame Tusk for the reason why Fleetwood Mac didn't meet success in the later half of their career, or at least I don't.
Score = 0
Y'know, I'm inclined to agree with the "At War With The Mystics" line. And shut up about "Big Generator". Just shut up about it! You know nothing about "Big Generator"! How it saved seven orphans from that flaming school bus, redirected the tornado from the trailer park and TAUGHT AN ENTIRE GENERATION HOW TO LAUGH, LOVE AND ROCK AGAIN!
Don't disrespect the Yes.

Liz Phair: s/t - I thought that would be a more popular choice, but maybe too many people had already given up on her with whitechocolatespaceegg.
R.E.M.: Monster - I love this album, but you can't deny that it was the start of their big swan dive. U2 had a similar moment with Pop, though somehow, they came back.
Hootie & the Blowfish: Fairweather Johnson - Not that they were built for longevity anyway.

John Lennon's Some Time In New York City was so bad it almost got him kicked out of the country. Last album previous was Imagine. He never got much over two stars ever again.

I think U2 hit the decline a bit before Pop. I would suggest that bloated piece of crap Zooropa. What an f'ing disaster that was, after a brilliant Achtung Baby no less. Everything after Achtung is pure shite.
Score = 0
I agree with fearlessweaver that Monster started the commercial decline for REM, but they came back with the criminally underrated New Adventures In Hi-Fi two years later.
Also, Kiss' Music from The Elder was definitely a curveball, and an odd one that - medieval-themed metal isn't for everyone...but I love it. It was maybe even a necessary step before they went on their heavier and impressive 3-album run with Creatures of the Night, Lick It Up and Animalize.
Score = 0
This is a fun game! I'll go with:
Live - Secret Samadi (great momentum, great forward buzz, then -- well, they were on American Idol last season)
Killers - Sam's Town (from Band of the Year to mere footnote in one easy step!)
Bloc Party - wait for it...
Elvis Costello - Punch The Clock (dead-stopped his initial streak of brilliance -- and widescale appeal -- which never really got started again)
Oasis - The Masterplan (yuck)
The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives (Remember them? They were Your New Favorite Band on all the magazine covers a few years ago! Now they're Sweden's twentieth-best indie band)

Did Second Coming really cripple the Roses? I agree, it's total shit, but afterall, were people really waiting for it on end for eight years? I'd say they lost their steam around the time that the Mondays did (Yes, Please marked the end of the Madchester scene anyway).
Speaking of which, I know I'll get jumped on for saying it, but Thrills, Pills, and Bellyaches still hasn't grown on me and I'm a huge fan of Bummed. It probably has something to do with the absence of Martin Hannett.

More evidence against Tusk crippling the Mac:
"Gypsy"

Explosions in the Sky's "Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever" came out on 9/11 or pretty close to it. Complete with artwork depicting planes crashing into buildings and angels and shit. Pretty crazy. Great album too.

Another 9/11 album: Beulah's "The Coast Is Never Clear", which is terrific. But they got tired of being an indie band that went through the grind of touring and didn't sell many records, so they wrote one more album about breaking up, and then broke up.
Score = 0
Up is actually my favorite R.E.M. album-- and I think that they're like Yo La Tengo, and every third album or so everyone will faun over them again. (Reveal == Summer Sun)

"Don't Tell A Soul" by the Replacements - suddenly the country's greatest rock band sounded like a karaoke tape.
"Door to Door" by the Cars. After "Heartbeat City" ... wow
"Lauryn Hill Unplugged 2.0" and "Cut The Crap" - although "This Is England" is pretty great.
The thing about "Sam's Town" is that the Killers are basically a singles band and "When You Were Young" is a great single. Really, what were you expecting?
If you want a modern day example ... how many White Stripes fans are there left after "Get Behind Me Satan"?

The Great Destroyer by Low. they were never very popular or even very good, but that album just reeaally sucks a lot. and i haven't heard a thing about them since it was released.
and what about Loveless? it didn't end MBV's career because it was shitty (that goes without saying), but there was just no way for them to follow that up. personally, i like the individual songs on Isn't Anything more than the ones on Loveless (excepting Only Shallow and When You Sleep, most notably), but as a capital-A Album, loveless is kind of unbeatable.
Score = 0
I think Tusk was considered a bomb because although it sold about four or five million copies, it cost a then-staggering $1 million to produce. And I guess when you're selling, what four- or five-dollar LP's, the record companies want you to sell more than "a few" million copies, then.
Score = 0
I disagree on Second Coming. It's still a good record, it was the moves the band made after it that killed their career (sacking Reni, regular tour starting outside the UK, Squire's bike accident, Reading...). In truth the Roses aere finished as a band by 1991, Second Coming was just an epitaph.
...Yes Please was a disaster for everyne involved with the exception of the Shaun Ryder himself. Factory went bust, ex-Heads Tina Franz and Chris Weymouth's production was panned, the band went back to their day jobs and the Hacienda closed down. But Shaun got to develop a new adiction and got most of what he wanted by ransoming the vocal tapes.
'De La Soul Is Dead' is surely the ultimate career suicide album? It was made with the intention of destroying the Dazy Age euphoria and while De La Soul themselves would carry on, their sales never came near 'Three Feet High' again.
Score = 0
Get Behind me Satan was weird, but I don't know if it's a crippler.
I think Room on Fire was more of a career-hurter than First Impressions of Earth. Fire was hotly anticipated, but got a cold response. Impressions is the Strokes' second chance, and has some really great songs.
I think Is This It? came out post-9/11 in the US, hence the change from the earlier U.K. Versions "New York City Cops" to, uh, something else (I forget).

I have to take issue with the person who nominated Elvis Costello's Punch the Clock. While I agree that it was his first non-brilliant (though still good) album and that his '77-'82 work is as good as music gets, PTC contained "Everyday I Write the Book", which is one of his only 2 U.S. Top 40 hits (the other is of course "Veronica", which dented the Top 20 6 years later in 1989).
EC never really had mass appeal and has always been more of a cult artist. Furthermore, I would argue that Trust (despite being a brilliant album) and Almost blue did more to derail his career here than Punch the Clock did. His last Top 10 album was Get Happy!!, which came out in 1980.
