How were they bad you ask?
Well, I poured a little bit into the master cylinder, and saw the fluid to be damn near clear as water.. I guess I had the bottles for so long, the fluid went bad. So now I gotta order more which means, the car will be down for a few more days.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic. It will suck moisture out of the air. An open sealed bottle is good for no more then 6 months. Unopened bottles. I wouldn't trust over a year.
EW, bleed your brakes a couple of times. Then after a month. Get the brakes real hot, like when you are bedding the pads in. After you do that. Bleed them again. This should take care of any remaining moisture in the system.
