Post artists that started out strong in the beginning of their career, had a lull, then came back strong later on

no

almost all of them? too many to name.

Arguably Paradise Lost but I even like their mid-period stuff.

What even happened after Let's Dance? And arguably during Let's Dance.

Aerosmith. First was a bad ass rock band in the 70's, then both guitarists leave the band in the late 70s/early 80s, get band back together in 85, put out a decent album that flopped big time, make a mainstream record in 87, and BAM. Back in the spotlight

...

Bathory.

Weezer
Sonic Youth
Death Grips
Captain Beefheart
David Bowie

>almost all of them
Nah, most never come out of decline, or at least reach the heights of their earlier, most acclaimed work.

Pearl Jam maybe?

Ten, Vs, and Vitalogy were amazing.
No Code was great
Yield, Binural, and Riot Act were mediocre
Self Titled was amazing and easily as good as their first three albums
Then Backspacer and Lighting Bolt fucking sucked.

>he has swallowed the Ved-pill
nice

Deth Grip

Came here to say exactly this Lel
I still like Host though

Mos Def

BlackStar and BOBS

then The New Danger and True Magic

and then came back with The Ecstatic

Yeah I guess

I agree
Why does Sup Forums not like pearl jam again?

contrarianism

John Cale is the obvious answer here

he had a period in the 80s that was basically lost to heroin and other drugs, and he came back strong recently. love him.

>Metallica

>>Metallica

their recent albums are a pale imitation of their 80s glory days. i'd normally agree with you but they're just copying themselves

obvious answer

.

>Sonic Youth
ummm but mid period sy (WM, ATL) is their best

Animal Collective
They weren't really that bad but it seemed like they didn't know what they were doing in 2012-2015

Painting With is their worst release

Mainstream success

...

Fax b

Did he make it out of Africa btw? Still waiting on his final album.

FOXYGEN

Arctic Monkeys

XTC

Not after that new single

Leonard Cohen

Napalm death.

Tru

Radiohead

Where was their lull?

Nope. No Code is unfocused while Yield is a masterpiece. Backspacer was weird, but you cant tell that it sucked because it didnt

see
OP said "came back strong later on"

Lulu was a step in the right direction, But Death Magnetic and Hardwired are attempts at cloning ... And justice for all

Swans duh

came here to post this

Dinosaur Jr
The Fall

Commercial Mediocrity

they started off weak then got better and stayed quite consistent
bad example

Green Day

...

children of god tho
also the new recreation isn't as good

Paul Simon

Because they inspired a generation of terrible copycats (see: Creed)

I love Pearl Jam tho. VS. was my highschool soundtrack

oh god please please be this

WM a shit!

Johnny Cash.

Kanye's on lull #2... odds on comeback #2?

Mozart.

When were they ever weak?

His last three albums have all been the best of the year they were released in.

Bummer you don't get Pablo yet. It's his best work.

Machine Head

Robb really must regret jumping on the nu-metal bandwagon

Iron Maiden

i like yeezus and MBDTF, but i find myself skipping more songs on TLOP. my expectations for him are really just higher than any other artist

>started off weak
Go 2 is pretty trash but White Music isn't bad for a debut.

if Machine would of stuck with their Burn My Eyes sound they would of been one of the best metal bands
