Bands whose 1st album was brilliant.....who now are crap
- Thread starter The Lemming Stomper
- Start date
Indurain's Lungs
Legend of Garry Nelson
Weezer
Most bands - the first album is the best - it contains all the stuff with the drive and oomph that got them a record contract in the first place. Some go on and get it right on the second album - but only the great bands are any good after that.
Good call on BRMC. But Gomez? Liquid Skin, thier 2nd, is an amazing album.
Origin of Symmetry. Qualla.
Primal Scream
I bet you don't even know what Primal Screams first album was? And if you do I'm even more concerned unless your smiley face denotes your taking the piss.

Their first album was Sonic Flower Groove. It's always been one of my favourites since the day it was released, I've not been that keen on anything they've done since and the smiley face was to acknowledge that nobody was likely to agree with me.
It was alright but it was the start of the downward spiral. The thread title is bands who are NOW crap. Everything post Sam's Town has been bland chart friendly pish.
Ok fair enough if that's your opinion but I cant see how sonic flower groove is better than screamadelica or xtmtntr.

I reckon the Roses heard Sonic Flower Groove
Each to their own! Mainstream was by far the best offering in terms of mood, lyrical content and musicianship. Jennifer She Said was a quality single, but I think the audience had moved on by then....

They certainly heard Velocity Girl, seeing as how they lifted the tune for Made of Stone....

I like 12 string guitars and bands who want to sound like the Byrds.
I'm not as keen on bands who want to sound like the Stones or 9 Inch Nails.
All subjective innit?

Seems I agree with PMB I was gonna say REM as well.

ever noticed Mr Cole's obsessive use of names beginning with the letter J? (apart from 'Louise' in perfect skin)
