The Five Most Unintentionally Funny Albums of 2006

Music is rarely funny on purpose, but every year an endless supply of hilarious albums is unintentionally generated by clueless and/or pretentious musicians around the world. These artists don’t bring us joy through the pleasure of listening to their music, but by providing endless opportunities to ridicule them. So without further ado, here’s a list of 2006’s most unintentionally funny albums.

1. Inhuman Rampage by Dragon Force

This is DragonForce.
If you can't already tell from their photo or name (which was either devised by a fifth grader or based on some horrible Nintendo role-playing game), DragonForce is a metal band. But they're not just any metal band. DragonForce is a living, breathing, walking cliché of such epic proportions, it makes Spinal Tap seem like an actual documentary.

To truly illustrate just how cliché these guys really are, I took a look at the lyrics from DragonForce's recent eight-song epic album, Inhuman Rampage, and here's what I found:


Even with all the references to battles of steel and the burning of fire and flames, it's still pretty impressive that DragonForce was able to use the word "pain" an incredible 26 times in only eight songs (and that doesn't even count how many times it's repeated in the chorus). After listening to the lead singer's voice and watching their videos, it's most surprising that the word "pussy" doesn't appear once. That word was apparently not included with the Dungeons and Dragons magnetic poetry set the band used to write their lyrics.

Check out this video for more DragonForce hilarity:

it seams you have teased the emo-hive with the gold medal to MCR. "this is old,, they performed their last b.p. show in october 2007" my god, soooooo loooooon aaaaaaago.

Dragonforce may be a group of nerdy kids who were probably canned and given swirlies until they were twenty-five, but you have to admit, they have some serious talent. Amazing guitar player, and a drummer with more stamina than I can conceive. Quite silly however.

Firstly, MCR is not emo. They're too fucking happy at their concerts. And I kinda think they have a right to be "serious" considering their band was started because of 9/11 and their debut singles were from the lead singer's songs dedicated to his grandmother who had recently kicked the fucking bucket.

Wurgh, emos. MCR - music for self harmers (wish they'd try harder).

The Mars Volta did have some strange lyrics. But even stranger reasons for writing them. Look it up: http://harpmagazine.com/articles/detail.cfm?article_id=6560&SearchWord=mars%20volta

wtf??? My Chemical Romance is one of the best bands!!! who the hell writes this shit?! wow this is old,,, the black parade is dead now, they played their last b.p. show in october 2007. and queen is one of mcr's influences, maybe if you read more before typing, you would know, dumbass! and mcr is not emo, theyve even said so themselves. i would sing karaoke to mcr and i sing it anyway off my ipod. oh, and the guys from my chem are funny and flamboyant. maybe if you heard some of the things they say and do, you would know. i went to their concert and it was awesome!!!

Eh, I guess not everybody can like The Mars Volta.

The author of this article must not like the Beatles very much either. The author of this article must think that The Kinks are silly and unintentionaly funny too. I can't stand most of the crap the mucic industrie throws at us but as a musician my self I will tell you that this is one of the few albums I bought and enjoyed for all it's possitivity and wonder.I will take those unicorns and ride them , I will eat their crumpets and take tea with them every time. These guys know how to groove!

I just plain love The Black Parade. It makes me feel amazingly happy when I listen to it. But to each his own I guess.....

"I Pooped a Cupcake" SONG OF THE YEAR!!!!

I haven't heard that particular Belle and Sebastian album, but I am pretty sure their funniness is more intentional than unintentional. They do make me laugh though.

dragonforce is the most overrated and overly fellated shit band ever. Anyone who drools over them because they aren't "popular": remember what another cracked article stated, "This is a public service announcement: SAYING YOU DO NOT LIKE SOMETHING POPULAR DOES NOT MAKE YOU INDIVIDUAL AND EDGY. It makes you dumbass. You're being equally unoriginal, dumber, and deliberately spending time to point out how you don't like it."

Posted on 4/6/2008 6:26:40 PM

They all shake chickens in HELL!!!

Posted on 4/2/2008 7:00:19 AM

Pretty right. yes, but Lynyrd Skynyrd has no 'a' in there. However, My Chemical Romance are actually decent musicians, though they definately take themselves too seriously.

Dragonforce is awesomely catchy metal (if a little repetitive at times), but their lyrics are some of the stupidest, least thought-through this side of the globe. I think we have a great example of a bunch of guys who obviously - and unfortunately - aren't familiar with the philosophy that, if you have nothing to sing about, don't sing at all.

emo annihilation

All these groups mentioned suck more ass than a tweeked out meth whore, emo is the worst fad in American history and I've noticed that Universal is the label that pumped out Jibbs AKA Nelly knockoff,and also to Farts Volta, who should be literally sent to Mars so us listeners of REAL talent can be rid of this garbage lmao

ur dumb

mel mel...dumb.

bleachy

the mars volta may not be at the drive-in, but it's still fucking awesome. I don't think they deserve being here. And Cedric bixler zavala has the best afro. EVER.

mel mel

wait why is the black parade funny what i think is funny is their songs the sharpest lives because of how the songs set up " so why don't you blow me?......big long pause......a kiss before she goes" and to the end "lost in coma and covered in cake" wth?
