[Music] What do you consider to be the greatest 'difficult' third album of all time ?

[jonnyrovers]

That other thread got me thinking...

I'll take a punt with a personal favourite. Radiohead - OK Computer.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

London Calling by The Clash.

 

[Simgull]

All Mod Cons

 

[ManOfSussex]

A Hard Days Night

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Primal Scream - Screamadelica.

 

[n1 gull]

The Queen is Dead

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Green Day - Dookie, or Blur - Parklife, both albums that I can listen to every song without wanting to skip one.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Handel's Messiah.

 

[Weststander]

Now that's what I call Music No. 3?

All Mod Cons

English Rose is a beaut of a song.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Microshift - Hookworms
Metallica - Master of Puppets.

Third albums are easy.

 

[jonnyrovers]

Primal Scream - Screamadelica.

Saw them perform the whole album in Glasgow 6 or 7 years ago. Come Together makes the album. Controversially I always thought Movin On Up let it down.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Muse:- Absolution

 

[Bold Seagull]

Not the greatest 3rd album (which is the point of the thread) but Super Furry Animals 'Guerrilla' I thought was a superb 3rd album effort.

'Third' by Soft Machine ��

 

[sjamesb3466]

Another vote for Metallica - Master of Puppets although for me Blood Mountain by Mastodon runs it pretty close.

Led Zeppelin III, play it far more often than any of their other studio albums with the possible exception of Physical Graffiti.

They got a lot of stick at the time for not rehashing the first two albums as they went a bit folk/acoustic/weird on the second side but I Iove it.

 

[El Presidente]

Low Life: New Order
The Colour of Spring: Talk Talk
Faith: The Cure
Kaleidoscope: Siouxsie and the Banshees.
