Just about every sophomore effort where the self-indulgent lead singer took himself a little too seriously after the surprise and overwhelming success of the debut effort…

I wanted to love the new Josh Rouse album, because I paid an arm and a leg to preorder it. But it sucks. At least I got a free subscription to Paste out of the deal.

thats the beauty of emusic - it was available for download a few weeks prior to release and when I realized it sucked, I could comfort myslef that it only cost me about $2.50 worth of downloads

I'd say that these were albums "I thought would be good" instead of "wanted to love".

Already mentioned and in agreement:
CYHSY had only a few likeable qualites
OK Computer is well done but Radiohead are not my bag.

Not mentioned:
The last Mars Volta album
The Bends
Horses - Patty Smith
Broken Social Scene
Jody Foster's Army - We Know You Suck
The White Stripes - The White Stripes
Big Black - Atomizer
The Stone Roses

These just come to mind without much effort; I'm sure there are plenty more.
