Berühmte vernichtende musikkritiken

1. "Metallica's St. Anger is an unlistenable mess, with its lackluster production, aimless songwriting, and cringe-worthy lyrics. A once-great band has completely lost its way." - Rolling Stone

2. "Lou Reed and Metallica's collaboration on Lulu is a trainwreck of epic proportions. Reed's spoken word poetry clashes horribly with Metallica's heavy metal sound, resulting in a pretentious and unlistenable album." - Pitchfork

3. "Bob Dylan's Self Portrait is a self-indulgent mess, with Dylan seemingly not caring about the quality of the music or the coherence of the album. It's a disappointing release from an artist who has done so much better." - AllMusic

4. "Van Morrison's Astral Weeks is a meandering, self-indulgent mess of an album that fails to capture any coherent musical vision. Morrison's vocals are at their most grating, and the instrumentation lacks any sense of direction." - The Guardian

5. "The Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request is a misguided attempt to cash in on the psychedelic trend of the late 1960s. The band's experimentation falls flat, resulting in a bloated and forgettable album that pales in comparison to their earlier work." - NME
