I’d disagree with him on that - e.g. The Jam, OMD, The Beatles all made multiple excellent albums packed with original ideas.

Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds - beat that!! 2.5 million sales in the UK alone. Next best effort was the Big Match theme tune (which still sounded like WotW)

Anyone who is any good, it's usually the second album that's better - all the imperfections from the first one ironed out; thereafter, descending into crap (usually).
If they're just crap, they might be lucky enough to get one half decent album out first.

I like a lot of other Roxy Music, but I think their first album was the best debut album ever by anybody anywhere. I was about 18 when it came out, so at a fairly impressionable age, but it was just so different to anything that had gone before in the mainstream.
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
Morning Glory at least it’s equal though?

Sacrilege perhaps, but I've never been bowled over by this album. You're right though, they never did anything better.

Black and White/The Raven are good. Just not up to Rattus IMO.
Personal choice and all that eh
