Tell Us Which Albums Were Overhyped, But You Could Barely Make It Through The Entire Tracklist

As a music fan, there's nothing more disappointing than when your favorite artist finally drops an album you've been waiting for...only for it to sound severely disappointing (even if, like me, you have terrible taste).

For example, in 2022, I went through a big (and honestly cringey) Charlie Puth phase, but I couldn't make it through his album Charlie — even though there are only seven songs. IMO, the rest of the tracks just didn't hold a candle to "Smells Like Me," and I haven't really listened to him since.

And I've felt similarly about almost every post-2015 Fall Out Boy release. They're not bad — they just don't have the same oomph as their earlier stuff.

And when I was younger, I was a big Demi Lovato fan, but their fourth album, Demi, felt like such a departure from their previous work that I stopped caring about their music altogether.
