No that's the third album. How To Be a Zillionaire.
Dolby's catalog is poorly represented on Spotify for rights related reasons.
Talk Talk got better as they went along.

Love that Dolby stuff. He somehow sounded both nerd and funky simultaneously.

I had posted a longer response about that, but it was long-winded and got jettisoned for the sake of continuity. It was about critical and audience expectations of the album because of that, the seismic movement in FM radio from '92-'96, record companies and supply-side hits vs. actual demand, etc., but it went into the ether.
Safe to say, yes, he died and many thought the band went with him. Perhaps prematurely.

Many of my favorite artists had their peak on their 3rd record - Yes w Fragile, Little Feat w Dixie Chicken, Laura Nyro w NY Tendaberry, Radiohead w OK Computer

Wu-tang?

i certainly considered it as a neat contrarian pick because even Iron Flag was a quality album, but at no point is the second album Wu Tang Forever, after the solo albums came out, anywhere as groundbreaking as Enter... or the solo efforts, IMHO.

The Violent Femmes self-titled debut brought us Blister in the Sun, Please Do Not Go, Kiss Off, Gone Daddy Gone, Add it Up..it was an insanely good album and I think they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - nobody sounded like them before, and nobody has sounded like them since. They are truly their own thing.
Their second album is largely forgotten even though it has Country Death Song, Black Girls, and Jesus Walking on the Water on it but Hallowed Grounds is great.

Echo & the Bunnymen - Heaven Up Here (Crocodiles)
Many fans would go with Crocs but I think HUH is just as good if not a little better

I've said this in like twenty different threads here and RA already knows this but the answer is The Strokes' Room on Fire.

I plan on posting the '18 countdown results at some point, then doing a '19 songs draft, a '19 album poll, a '10-19 song draft and a '10-19 album poll over the next six months - you're all on notice.rockaction said:

Heh. I was being tongue-in-cheek. You paint such worlds of possibility. I'm personally very much up for the '10-19 stuff.

Digressin, lots of fun to be had over greatest debut, 2nd, 3rd, 4th records of all time.
The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion ranks very near the top in greatest 2nd albums of all-time, backed up by critical acclaim, alas.

Is "alas" the greatest word of all time?

Steve Hoffman forum had a thread about the greatest fifth albums in existence. Interesting thread, but too many pictures and not enough reasoning behind why the albums were so good. They were just like lists out there in the ether.

Donnie Darko says "cellar door"
I say that "forsooth," "therefrom," and others are pretty good, too. "Therefrom" is just so mellifluous and utile at the same time. Love it.

Depending on if you count an EP as a 1st album, Tool's "Undertow" was greater than "Opiate". If not, "Ænima" is greater than "Undertow".
Queensryche's "Rage for Order" is greater than "The Warning" which is greater than the debut EP "Queensryche"
And as great as "Mechanical Resonance" is, I feel Tesla's second release, "The Great Radio Controversy" is a better than the 1st album.

Wow. That's a rare complaint, but if you were already steeped in Seatlle's sound, I can easily see it. Nevermind was such a departure.

I think I got like 13, which is why I wasn't super motivated for it.Did we even submit 2018 lists

That's awesome. No way was Congratulations better, but I'd love to hear that defense.
Totally in the spirit of the thread, and a post after my own local heart. (MGMT is from CT, like literally two doors away from old stomping grounds.)

I'm not passionate enough about either album to make the case but 'It's Working' is pretty easily my favourite song of theirs over the big singles from Oracular

Huh. I'll have to check it out. That was an instant revulsion listen, Congratulations was.
