Another half-year sub-thread, this time for stuff that wasn't quite what you hoped, either because your anticipation was such that it would never live up to your expectations or that just wasn't very good.

For me that Spiritualized album didn't quite connect. I've had a funny relationship with their past few records and this one just didn't have me giddy.

To a lesser extent, The Twilight Sad. I think Jazz's review may have set the bar for my first listen far too high http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16737/reviews/4144411
