Songs that start well but become really disappointing

Flat Beat, 21st Century Schizoid Man and Tonight Tonight are magnificent all the way through, what the hell is wrong with you all

1000000000000% u could probably say that for the entire album tbf

is magnificent all the way through the intro and into the pretty picked guitar and then Corgan opens his mouth and that awful voice comes out and that’s the end of the song as a good song

Nobody, with the possible exception of Billy Corgan, has written a better song since!

Voice of an angel

This thread is pure insanity.

The correct answer is Enter Sandman. A great, menacing intro that gives way to Premise! time.

Trying to wrap my head around this one. Only thing I can come up with is it’s an attack on Gwen Stefani’s voice.

always thought this. that song exists best as a sample

I don’t mind the rest tbh, but fair shout

(actually: I really like the rest! weird and noisy enough to hold up kinda well)

oh I think this is pretty great! never properly listened to that GBV album, but I might now

Mansun - The Chad Who Loved Me

Starts out as some long-lost great John Barry theme, but eventually descends into an indie dirge.

2 and a half minutes of pure beauty then that annoying piano thing

2 mins of chilled hippy vibes then that annoying piano thing

I’ve just given this a re-listen and I think I was too harsh on it. Is there an official Retractions thread?

Its not bad but goes from perfection to okay so fast that it is disappointing haha

Masterful thread for 2025 got takes, inspirational

A little olive branch, admitting a tiny fraction of a song is good which makes the sting hurt even more for the mega fans
