Bad: The Album

[@fahr]

every song on this album sounds like 3 full songs layered over eachother

[@andrei11dr]

Nah ,if that was the case maybe the vocals wouldn't be so bad

[@SquallLeonCorazon]

I thought I was the only one who felt like this that entire album, it feels like it’s trying to be so many things at the same time that it just spirals down into an unsalvageable wreckage. Not to mention Corey’s grating voice while he’s singing which feels like it would have fit in literally ANY other kind of song that didn’t have electronic motifs.

[@cvspvr]

so, in a way, you're getting three albums for the price of one?

[@CosmicAli_TheObserver]

Exactly!

[@DeflatingAtheism]

It’s not just bad music, Corey Feldman obviously doesn‘t understand the ABCs of how music is put together, which is why you always have things clashing in different keys.

This! It reminds me of The Room, where the megalomaniacs behind them absolutely NO respect for what they've unleashed on the world, but at the same time they DO say some very important things about the mediums they exist in. It's as if by failing so horribly at being music/a film they've failed *so* horribly that the mistakes won't have to be repeated by as many other people new to the medium

[@deftrascal1626]

given the quality of the record it wouldn’t surprise me if he did it all himself, that’s the only logical explanation i can come up with

[@crispybottom]

i don't think there were any people to tell him anything, on TIDAL you can see the credits for every song he's ever made, and *it's all just him* Also, Corey Feldman is peak audiophile music, sounds 10x better in lossless

[@benamisai-kham5892]

Honestly it feels very close to outsider music.

[@marcoventuri5146]

There were some other people involved for sure. We know for certain that a producer who worked to "I Didn't Mean to Haunt You" by Quadeca also worked to the Snoop Dogg song. That album was literally done in the same studio where that song was made. This is not a meme, Quadeca said that to Fantano in an interview.

[@thesensiblesocialist]

I think one of the aspects of this album that really contributes to its unique badness is that it sounds about 20 years too late. There is such a distinct late 90s-early 00s vibe to this that indicates to me that that was when Corey really stopped paying attention to pop music even though it seems like he wanted this to be a really contemporary pop album that the kids would like.

[@poniko6034]

it also explains the features. a lot of them would make sense in late 90s - early 2000s records, but this is just baffling

[@Saikocide]

unsubbed. Corey Feldman changed my entire life, after listening to Angelic 2 the Core Corey Feldman showed up to my door and gave me $50,000 upfront and gave me a kiss on the forehead. Angelic 2 the Core is the best album since O.K Computer so this video title is wrong.

Ascension Millennium is no worse that some of the euro dance anthems of the 90s, not a floor filler but it’s inoffensive, has a hook. Past that, it’s all horrific. I’m guessing the cover art metaphor is that those two angels are pushing Corey back in to hell.

I feel like people don’t give enough credit to artists whose music is “so bad it’s good”. It’s not just about how bad the records are, but how uniquely and creatively the artist reaches that level.
