blink-182
I'm not a blink-182 fan or anything, but I think their earlier stuff is pretty good. This album is kinda where they started to go downhill for me. It till has some great songs like Dysentery Gary, but also some absolute cringe like Adam's Song. Still, compared to most of these user-submitted albums (and a lot of the original list, really), I enjoyed this more.

There's nothing worse than when a pop punk band abandons pop punk in an attempt to become "serious". Blink-182's early stuff can be pretty fun and catchy. This is just boring. I just gave a much worse album a 2, though, so...

WORRY
Jeff Rosenstock
Reddit and RYM love this guy so I'm already predisposed to hate him. But he certainly isn't doing himself any favors here. There's way too many overblown, overdramatic, forced anthemic moments, and it's not particularly fun or catchy otherwise. This is one of the top rated "pop punk" albums on RYM (#2 as I'm writing this), even though, like most albums on that chart, it has very little to do with actual pop punk. No memorable hooks or melodies, little energy, too slow and self-serious, with too much forced emotion and melodrama. This is just boring indie rock with shouty vocals and I hate that shit.

The Black Parade
My Chemical Romance
When I was in middle school, if you were a loser who didn't like radio pop/rap but was too wimpy to listen to actually out-there music, you either listened to nu metal, or this. I cringe when I look back on my nu metal phase, but I'm glad I at least wasn't into this.
I can't stand this overdramatic theater kid bullshit. Rock operas in general were one of the worst things to ever happen to the history of music. And it's even worse when they're made by bands who make music for teenage girls with a persecution complex.
I hate the forced over the top dramatics, the attempts to be anthemic. The melodrama. I know I keep saying this but way too many albums on this user list are so full of these overblown theatrics. Everything about it is just so fake. I also hate that people call this "pop punk" when it's anything but. Not even remotely punk and not even remotely fun, or catchy. It takes itself way too seriously. The fact that this album (and MCR in general) has been rehabilitated in the eyes of the public is a travesty. Let's just admit it's pathetic bullshit for teenage girls and nothing more.

This is just so boring. I'm not one to complain about bands sounding like something that's been done before at all, but they have to write good songs. And The Chats clearly can't write good songs. They're not as funny as they think they are either. So many people on the internet act like this is the only good newer punk band to exist, and all for a band that's just so nothing.

I liked Bad Religion a lot more when I was younger, at this point I pretty much only listen to their 80s stuff (no, not Into the Unknown). That being said, this album is still more enjoyable than most user submissions, and Bad Religion absolutely deserves to be on the list. I just think No Control or Suffer would've been a better choice.
