The Stinkers Thread - The Sphere Edition

Thumbs down for this synth-driven sh*t:

This sh*tty interlude does nothing for me at all:

A f***ing embarrassment of cheesy 80s electro-synths and rapping-like vocals in the verses:

The lack of balance in some songs from this Mechina album can stir up a few failures, with this one being the worst, most flat-sounding sh*tter there:

One of the best songs in Soul of a New Machine is unfortunately f***ed up by the overuse of techno beats that can be quite traumatic for the more deathly metalheads:

A weak love ballad that marked a poor letdown of a closing track for Rammstein's breakthrough album:

This sh*tty downer doesn't really add anything, and it's best to just ignore it:

This Alice Cooper cover would've been great, but Vorph's attempt at singing it ruins it all:

This stinker fits well with its name, being far too weird for its own good:

How is "Useless" weird though? Sure, it utilizes dissonance fairly heavily but that's hardly unusual for industrial metal, is it? I quite like "Useless" actually. "Crumbs" is the only track on "Filth Pig" that I struggle with.

I find the heavy dissonance to be a little too weirdly used on that one, Daniel. Now that I think about it, "Crumbs" really would be a slightly better choice for this thread. It's too... crumby. Haha

The messy writing in some parts of Empyrean makes another flat sh*tter, basically this album's "Internecion":

A rather terrible sh*tter going back to the messy side of the previous two albums:

This sh*tty drop of quality with lack of variation is the only Sybreed track to qualify for this thread:

The shortest and weakest failure of Neurotech's debut album:

The band's attempt at experimenting with major-key brightness make this sh*tter the worst they've done in 10 years, and it fits better in a Cynic/Devin Townsend album:

Too much electronic sh*t in this awful stinker:

Easily the worst track Illidiance has ever done. "I Want to Believe" is a far better ballad-ish song than this sh*t:

A slip into an acoustic sound that sounds too f***ing dull for me:
