Bands whose 1st album was brilliant.....who now are crap

[Frank Dux]

Ride

Wonderful shout with Ride - will raise you JJ72 and not crap but progressively worse I would say after Pod are the breeders

 

[DJ NOBO]

Supergrass
Embrace
Longpigs

 

[Bold Seagull]

In Rainbows is their best album, and the best album so far this century.

The debate started in the Guardian only a week or so ago...

I may have to get hold of it then, purely on your recommendation. If you liked Amensiac and Kid A, then I'm not going near it...

 

[DJ NOBO]

Ride

Thought they were pretty damn amazing up to Going Blank Again - then it all went downhill

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Oasis (maybe took a couple of albums to get crap, but they got there.

 

[Pevenseagull]

not having any issues with 'Last Splash' in Pevenseagull Towers and re JJ72 I got drunk with the singer once and he was tiny

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oasis (maybe took a couple of albums to get crap, but they got there.

inevitably and indeed

 

[Pevenseagull]

Supergrass
Embrace
Longpigs

bit mean expecting Longpigs to come out with a better album than their debut .... and Richard Hawley's not exactly blotted their escutcheon

Absolutely love their self titled first album!

 

[Buzzer]

Metallica and Green Day. Sonic Youth have been bland for years so they can go in.

Can I add Muse?

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

you have got to be joking, the second coming is a brilliant album

Compared to the stellar genius that was the first? It appears it is you who is the joker here.

 

[BHseagull]

The Killers

Sam's Town?

I quite liked Mobile Home their second album, Free Toy is perhaps my favourite track of theirs. You're right though, superb first album.

 

[Leosayer]

The housemartins
Meatloaf

Meatloaf

Housemartins, I'd agree with but Meatloaf only ever did one album, surely? He just kept re-branding it as something else. (See also Jamiroquai)

 

[kevo]

Stone Roses

 

[BlockDpete]

Keane
Athlete

Just goes to show the perils of the 2nd album really

 

[beorhthelm]

The Killers

harsh, Sams Town wasnt as commercially catchy but pretty good.

Prodigy (maybe same as above though).

 

[Beeercan]

Editors, would be a good shout.

Saying that i do like the 2nd album, but the 1st was brilliant. 3rd abit meh

Very good call, first album was amazing, saw them supporting the Pixies and they were great live. Got really excited when they started playing 'Bones' live before the 2nd album came out. After that, they just seem to have played it safe and put out more of the same, albeit nowhere near as good as their first album.
