ITT: Artists who never topped their first album
I thought Songs from a room was his second album
...
>Faust
>Mercury Rev
>VU&N
>Frank Zappa
>Devo
>Type O Negative
>Death Grips
>Doors
>Red House Painters
I agree with everything except Zappa.
Kings of Leon
obligatory
Faust IV and RHP's Rollercoaster doe
His first is one of his best, but I think he's produced several albums that are on the same level.
>Black Crown Initiate
The songs flowed so well on their EP
desu
unpopular opinion but GWS is just that good imo
...
I love the Syd is good meme almost as much as I love the DSotM is bad meme.
...
DJ Shadow
that's their best album and you know it
even if his later career wasnt as lackluster, it would be close to impossible
>Patti Smith
>The Doors
>Jesus and Mary Chain
>George Harrison
>Gang of Four
>Van Morrison
>Weezer
>Wu-Tang Clan
Obviously some of these artists went on to make excellent albums (that still weren't quite as good as the first). I'm also excluding artists who only made a few albums, because I can think of plenty more who've only made three or four.
Also, is any else worried that Leonard Cohen will go next? His new song is really foreboding.
>>Patti Smith
She did by a long score
>>Wu-Tang Clan
if solo work counts, Liquid Swords beats 36 Chambers by a considerable margin.
Death Grips meaning ExMilitary, or The Money Store?
>Van Morrison
I dig "T.B. Sheets" as much as the next guy but c'mon
have a nice life
kanye
grimes
no it didn't
His third is easily his best.
yes it did
36 Chambers has too many dumb skits and Liquid Swords has a better consistent theme.
like seriously who wants to listen to the torture skit every single time they listen to 36 Chambers
>Van Morrison
lmao you think that R&B album that had Brown Eyed Girl is better than Astral Weeks and Moondance?
nigga get The Doors off that list.
Number of hits on one album doesn't mean best album.

...
It doesn't count if they never had a good album
...
Exmilitary, but if you are not counting Exmilitary the money store would be the best anyway
(a weekend in the city is not bad tho)

This
...
Captain Beefheart
look bro I love Tragedy, it's a 9/10 for me, but let's not pretend that LCS and HYIMW aren't better
...
Neon Bible was better
...
Weezer
Strokes
Justice
Interpol
Arctic Monkeys
It makes me angry how good they were, and how bad they are now.

Holy shit I feel like a fucking tard, forgot that Astral Weeks isn't his debut. pls forgive
>George Harrison
All Things Must Pass is his third album senpai
