Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Boatman's Call seemed like a solid album and mostly unweird, if not kind of cheesy. But his other stuff, earlier and later feels off. I imagine that's blasphemous to a proper nick cave fan as BC was likely more mainstream and all that but it was nice, lovely, and at some points thoughtful.

I never really cared all that much for anything other than Lyre of Orpheus/Abbatoir Blues aside from a song here and there. Nothing else just hit the same for me.
Same. He's pretty hit or miss. Like Tom Waites, for me, in a way. Some breathtaking songs but lots of mediocre stuff.
Ryan's Hope - Apocalypse in Increments. It's from 2006 but I didn't discover it until around 2012, by which point they'd already rebranded as The Reaganomics and adopted a more pop-punk sound that didn't resonate with me.
Boston, the Cars, but there are so many one hit wonders imo
One hit wonder to be means one song. One album hit wonders? Second Boston though! That first album is their greatest hits.
The Ataris, with So Long, Astoria
Augustana. Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt is a fantastic album, but everything else they’ve put out is meh.
That the one with the Boston diddy?
No, that’s their first album, All the Stars and Boulevards. A few years before. Sweet and Low is their big hit from Can’t Love Can’t Hurt.
AJJ - People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People
I knew them by their original name (Andrew Jackson Jihad) and was basically given this album as a demo from someone who knew the band.
There is something so raw and real about this album that just did not make it to anything that came later. It was like they gave up the edge that set them apart when they rebranded to make themselves more marketable.
I get it, the original name was bad. Like actually pretty bad. But I also genuinely feel like the name wasn't the only thing they changed.
Regular Urban Survivors by Terrorvision. Most people probably know them by way of their subsequent album, Shaving Peaches, but RUS is far superior.
Kiko by Los Lobos is a masterpiece, to me. The rest of their albums are hit or miss, with The Town and the City being their 2nd best, but nowhere near as good as Kiko.
Sevendust - Animosity - loved every track but only a few selected tracks from their other work
Disturbed - The Sickness - made my 2000
Orgy - Vapor Transmission - way ahead of their time
Limp Bizkit - Significant Other - still fun to listen to
Goldfish has two. Get Busy Living and Three Second Memory are both amazing albums. Everything else? Meh.
