What are some records that received great reviews--or were on recommended lists--that truly disappointed sonically, musically or both. You know those albums. The ones you wonder what they were smoking when they listened to them. 
The first album has been a long time resident on HP's list. Great music but when it listened to it not so long ago, the sound was sadly lacking. Lacking in upper octaves to be specific. A studio sound but was too rolled off. Also fetches mucho dinero, recently saw it on ePay for $500. Hmmmm....mine is in mint shape and that would pay for a tape or two.

The second album received a rave review from Mikey years ago and the music did nothing for me and thought even less of the sound. Plus it sounded like it was pressed on ultra, ultra-cheap plastic. You know that sound.
