Is there ANY artist who had higher highs and lower lows than the Beach Boys?
Probably not but Kanye is getting there.

Might as well count Metallica since Lulu is just that bad

OP didn't say personal low...
As an artist, Yeezus was considered shit by most fans of his previous work. All of it has been critically acclaimed. Sounds a lot like The Beach Boys huh?

>tfw you realise Weezer's entire output since Green has been a deliberate attempt to imitate the Beach Boys' post-1966 career trajectory.
Think about it:
>Achieve success as a superior surf-rock band with catchy songs and occasional moments of greater depth
>Release an album that's a significant departure from the sound that made you famous. Double down on the emotion.
>The album is met with confusion. Existing fanbase don't get it. Sales are poor.
>Start making mediocre, more accessible albums, giving people what they want and sticking to the formula
>Carve out a new niche as a catchy but uninteresting pop band
>Later on, emotional album is held as the band's clear high point. Critics re-evaluate it and fans lament what "could have been" if the initial response had been better
Also
>Fans obsess over an incomplete concept album written and recorded around the band's creative peak, kept alive by a steady trickle of demos, bootlegs and fan-made mixes

Who is the Mike Love of Weezer?
>>64757484
>Start making mediocre, more accessible albums, giving people what they want and sticking to the formula
>implying Smiley Smile, Friends, Surf's Up and Sunflower are mediocre, accessible albums that stick with the formula
if anything, Smiley Smile is their most experimental record ever.

>Band's creative dead zone is punctuated with a few "experimental" releases that fans tend to overhype

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who enjoyed most of Yeezus.
