Hear me out for a second. Springsteen's and Green Day's albums line up exactly!

>Asbury Park / 39/Smooth
Young, scrappy debut. Not great but shows some potential.

>Wild, Innocent / Kerplunk
Huge step forward. Only a sliver behind the huge release ahead.

>Born to Run / Dookie
The indisputable best album. Breakout success.

>Darkness / Insomniac
Retains the much of the sound of the previous album, with a touch of darkness. Still great.

>The River / Nimrod
Good, but shows a couple shaky signs. Both are long albums that could have shed a few tracks.

>Nebraska / Warning
Both artists went acoustic on their sixth album! Less successful commercially compared to previous albums, but still loved by fans.

>Born in the USA / American Idiot
Huge, angry American comeback success. Chart-topping songs worldwide and huge concert tours.

>Tunnel of Love / 21st Century Breakdown
Tries to emulate the success of the previous album, but is a fair bit weaker overall.

>Lucky Town & Human Touch / Uno/Dos/Tre
Jumps the shark and releases multiple albums quickly. The low quality of the material doesn't justify it.

Never liked Green Day but as a huge Springsteen fan, your analyses of his albums are pretty good.

Except one of them is good and the other isn't, of course.

Springsteen has more than 9 albums though
And you could literally make a case that any band's discography follows a similar trajectory

But the breakout, the acoustic, the comeback, and jumping the shark line up so neatly in this comparison

if you look at them specifically through that scope. There are hundreds of bands where their third album was their "breakout hit"
you could say that Radiohead's albums line up with Scott Walker's first four albums. First one was big but doesn't have much critical success. Second one is more loved but follows closely in the first ones footsteps. Third album is where they start experimenting more. Fourth album is their most experimental but also very commercially and critically adored.
You can literally line up any artist if you only look at specifics between albums.
