YES, I don't know what the fuck they've been doing after this album but they are due to reinvent themselves, big-time. I listen to runaways or sams town and it's like listening to a shittier verson Bruce Springsteen. All their songs are centered around unrequited love and it is tiring to listen to.

Their is seriously no growth...
>>
>>63814484
Sam's Town is much better though
>>
Most artists peak early...
>>
One True God really peaked with this one
>>
>>63814819
el pintor is really good
>>
>>63814484
Literally every NME/ p4kcore meme band from the mid-00s including but surely not limited to:

Arcade Fire
Arctic Monkeys
Bloc Party
Broken Social Scene
Crystal Castles
Franz Ferdinand
Interpol
Kasabian
The Killers
LCD Soundsystem
The Libertines
MGMT
The Shins
The Strokes
TV on the Radio
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The xx

Pretty much all of these peaked with their debut, a few with their sophomore

so what. they still peaked at their debut
>>
>>63814484
I don't think anything is wrong with peaking early. Plenty artist have 10/10s early on and still continued their career with decent albums.
>>
>>
>>63814960
They treat bands like a hookers over at pitchfork.

Agreed. Everything after Antics was garbage

>>63814960
The 2000s were basically Indie rock bands with great debut albums who never recaptured the same magic with the rest of their discography
>>
>>63814960
my dude

>>63814484
Definitely this.

The Killers were never as good as their first record. In fact, I find them to be completely unlistenable past Hot Fuss
>>
>>63814960
A lot of Bullshit in there. Most of these bands had excellent successors to very good debut albums.

Smashing Pumpkins

Their first 3 albums were good. Everything after is pop metal. Also Fuck vermilion pt 1 & 2.
>>
>>63815536
It was written was good, not better but still good.
>>
>>63814847
Editors actually peaked on their third album.

>>63814960
>CCI better than CCII or CCIII
C'mon now son. Also I bet that CCIV will be their best yet.

>>63814589
I like it best but it's incomparable.

>>63814745
>Syro
The worst possible answer to that post holy shit

>>63814960
>Broken Social Scene
Their self-titled is just as good if not better than YFIIP but nobody cares because everyone just likes to listen to the /mu/-approved album of the bunch and ignore the rest

Hypocrites. Enjoy missing out on 7/4 Shoreline, Superconnected, Fire Eyed Boy and Bandwitch

Arcade Fire

this is true by default

>>63814960
This is spot on except for a few who never had any good albums to begin with.
>>
Weezer
Nas
Black Flag
Blind Melon
The Doors
Sunny Day Real Estate
Crystal Castles

Just off the top of my head all their first albums were their best ones.
>>
>>63815355
Iowa went darker, but it wasn't as good. Still the thickest atmosphere on an album that hit the top 10.
>>
>>63814960

Congratulations is their peak. OC is pretty mediocre

Unfortunately this is true despite what some fanboys will say. Even for me it's difficult to admit.

yeah syro is an awful example, it's an ok release but everything else after SAW2 is generally quality
>>
>>63816228
Glad to see Broken Social Scene's s/t getting some love
Also how can you forget It's All Gonna Break
>>
>>63814960
Arcade Fire has 4 great albums, and all 3 albums by LCD Soundsystem are good. Apart from that you speak with the truth.

haha i get it because having that opinion makes you the caricature of a plebeian
>>

Niggas on the Moon is better IMO
>>
>>63817246
Not their debut. In fact, their third major release and they've had up to or better releases since then.
>>
>>63817846
peaking early =/= debut
>>
>>63814769
Que?
>>
>>63817865
I understand that, but TMS is the third out of their seven releases so far, and as I said before, out of those seven me and I'm sure others believe that latter albums rival TMS. This of course is my opinion, but I believe it has a stronger foundation than most of the albums presented ITT so far.
>>
>>63817240
No I'm not. Damaged was their first album.
>>
>>63814745
>The Strokes only bad album is Angles
yeah but they dont have a good album either
>>
Kanye West
>>
anco

>>63818034
Their best music was the early stuff
