Here is a list of second albums that are, in my opinion, much better than their resepective artists' debut efforts:
OK Computer - Radiohead
A Rush Of Blood To The Head - Coldplay
Origin Of Symmetry - Muse
Origin Of Symmetry - Muse
The Cool - Lupe Fiasco (only better than his debut by a hair)
Nevermind - Nirvana
Late Registration - Kanye West
Albertine - Brooke Fraser
The Anatomy Of The Tongue In Cheek - Relient K
Toxicity - System Of A Down
(What's The Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis
Sam's Town - The Killers
Although on the flip side, there are still a few artists I love whose debut albums in my opinion have yet to be eclipsed: Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, and Norah Jones come to mind.

that Oasis album...is perfection.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna be a pain & contest a part of this. OK Computer was the 3rd album. The bends was their 2nd & was definitely amazing, it's when they started to find their 'official sound'.
ReplyDeleteyeah i only noticed that after i wrote it, must be ultra obsessed with that album. in any case, The Bends kicks Pablo Honey's ass ten times over, any day.
ReplyDeleteand yup, whats the story is oasis at its peak for sure.
'Parachutes' > 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head'!!!
ReplyDeletenot to me. rush of blood as an album flows perfectly, while also featuring some of my favourite songs of theirs: 'the scientist', 'in my place', 'green eyes', etc
