10 Delayed Hard Rock Albums That Weren't Worth The Wait

10. You're Welcome - A Day To Remember

It almost stings putting the most recent entry on this list to something that came out this year. We can all agree that A Day To Remember certainly took their time with this one though, going so far as to delay the album once the pandemic started and than leading off with one lackluster single after another. Once we actually had the album in front of us though, it was liking listening to a totally different band.

From the opening of songs like F.Y.M., this is clearly a quantum leap from the group who brought us albums like Homesick or Common Courtesy just a few years before. While many people have been pointing the finger at them for selling out, it also has a lot to do with them switching labels to Fueled By Ramen, which isn't necessarily known for the millions of metal leaning acts on their roster or anything.

That's not to say that the entire album is without a few bright spots. The amount of love and care that's put into songs like Brick Wall definitely show you that the band still has the chops to make something with the potential to tear your head off. Coming after a record like this though, ADTR definitely have their work cut out for them if they're hoping to transition back to the hard rock side of things.
