20 Maligned Rock Albums of the 2000s That Deserve a Second Chance

Which maligned 2000s-era Rock Albums deserve another listen?

Not every album is a winner, but some records take some time to find their audience. With this list, we're revisiting 20 2000s Rock Albums that we feel are definitely deserving of a second chance after either failing to initially meet expectations commercially, critically or just plain confusing their fanbase.

Velvet Revolver had one of the bigger debut albums of the 2000s, but it's safe to say that the second album Libertad didn't hit those same marks.

There was hardly a band bigger than Limp Bizkit at the turn of the millennium, but their Chocolate Starfish follow-up Results May Vary was critically savaged. Was it that bad or did the album fall victim to a Fred Durst tear down and bad timing of a musical shift away from nu metal?

Those are just two of the records we dig into as we re-examine 20 Maligned Rock Albums of the 2000s That Deserve a Second Chance. And you can revisit our Maligned Rock Albums of the '90s below that.
