On The Corner was a record that repelled Miles Davis listeners. Metal Machine Music definitely repelled Lou Reed listeners. These are records that fit the category of 'disasters', because only minorities of both fans and critics liked them initially.
I think that many of the previous nominations to the 'disaster' category in this thread are records that were actually consistent with the artist's prior oeuvre, and did not repel their established fan base. They fit the category of 'weird, fucked up music', but maybe not the category of 'disaster'.
i'll nod in agreement to this post.

OK. That works. Based on that criteria, Third/Sister Lovers is definitely a huge disaster. It got released four years after it was recorded, after all.
Granted, on that basis we could also include something like the Doors' The Soft Parade as well, but I don't know anyone who likes that ridiculous pile of shit, even ironically.
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.

27Trans by Neil Young
I rate this in my top 3 Neil Young albums, yet it shares almost no common ground, at least musically, with the other two: Tonight's The Night and Zuma.

28Yr average Fall record probably qualifies, though I guess I'm not still not sure what makes an album a disaster exactly

29The Clash's Sandinista without a doubt qualifies.
A heavy departure from their past output, drove the nail in the coffin as far as the "Punk" fans are concerned, full on sprawling "kitchen sink" approach. Shit even the band practically disowns it now.
Yet, I LOVE it, warts and all.
