>>60173369

TVU&N: 9
WL/WH: 8
TVU: 7
Loaded: 6
Squeez: 4
why the fuck did John Cale leave?
>>60173359
?
Banana: 10
Sister Ray - The Album: 7.5
Post-Cale: 8
Loaded with Shit: 3
Yule: 6
More or less
>>60173479
because Lou wanted some commercial success
It's too bad, they probably could've produced one or two more masterpieces if he had stayed.
>>60173551
Why does that guy's eyes look so weird? Am I missing something?

death grips
>inb4 pleb
Congratulations was comparable in quality
why does this happen to so many artists? you'd think their skill and control over their instruments would improve over time, do they run out of new and interesting ideas? Or are they just less selective about what they put out after the first couple albums.
>>60174161

We can only imagine what album they would make after WL/WH if John Cale stayed
>>60173359
more or less
Violent Femmes.
>>60176973
The Suburbs and Reflektor are better than Neon Bible
Try me
>>60178670
First correct answer itt
>>60176646
nas was never good. illmatic was ok and nothing more. life is good was also ok... hip hop is dead was surprisingly awful despite the killer single
Yes, but only after WL/WH
>>60174204
damn..
>>60174161
It tends to happen to a lot of rock artists where an innovative stylistic idea is more important than improved musicianship and composing skill.
For jazz musicians, it's completely different. They might go through particularly fruitful and creative spells but in general, mid career jazz albums are generally where the magic happens. Before they get too old and as their technical abilities are at their best.
>>60174161
Nobody expects the first one to be good, they don't know you
While the sophomore will be compared to the first right away
>>60179146
Do you hate her later work or do you actually think this is good?
>>60179425
Some later tracks are good actually, I'm quite rough with her, the most of her new stuff annoy me. I can't get a grip from Volta to Vulnicura. Older stuff is good.
>>60179146
I can't stand Volta, but Vulnicura is the AOTY.
maybe MMLP2 was a little rise, like to the giddy heights of 3/10, but pretty much this works
>>60179084
lol
Their EP dosen't count.
>>60176613
Hey, it wasn't exactly good, but Everything Will Be Alright in the End was miles better than the Red Album.
Mars Volta
>>60181181
evol-sister-daydream nation was their peak m8
