Kind of how Schadenfreude is a word that's been picked up in English to mean "taking joy in the suffering of others", I present another long German compound word to describe a very specific feeling.
Einliedsenttäuschung: (ine-leeds-ent-toy-shung) The feeling of disappointment one experiences when one really likes a song by a band, but likes no other songs they've made. Buying an album or two because you are caught up in this enthusiasm, only to discover that everything else they've made isn't good can cause this feeling. (see also one-hit blunder)
