We began once more our recap of the most notable albums of the year making a brief stopover in deceptionland, where some former favorites have landed due to recent missteps.

The following are not the worst records of the year –though some of them could make strong contenders, you just have to check the charts to find plenty of contemporary horrors of a much more terrifying kind – but those ones which by former merits or renewed hype we had high expectations for that have remained sadly unfulfilled.
