>artists first album was their best album
Artists first album was their best album
>artists last album was their best album
When has this ever happened?
The Mars Volta
Gastr del Sol
The Serpentine Similar and Upgrade and Afterlife are better than Camofleur
>artist gets progressively less interesting with each new album
These are both tropes of pop music. If most of what you listen to follows this trend, re-evaluate your life
Tyler The Creator
Earl Sweatshirt
>pop music is inherently bad
Nice meme
Liars
not really that doesn't even apply to big popstars today
>Beyonce
>Gaga (Overall The FILLER is not good, the fame monster is)
>Rihanna
>Katy Perry
>Miley Cyrus
>Ariana Grande
>Justin Bieber
>Britney Spears
and on and on......
no
Unwound
Nick Drake
Talk Talk
Beatles if you count Abbey Road
>artist improves his songwriting skills over time but also become progressively less interesting
Pop as in pop in which the people playing the music are also the writers. Manufactured pop doesn't really count seen as you can't account their career to one person/group of people
The cure
>if you count Abbey Road
I do not
Gorillaz
Neutral Milk Hotel
Noname
Young Marble Giants
Tyler, the Creator
radiohead
Fugazi.
Don't try to deny it.
MF DOOM
Wu-Tang
Neutral Milk Hotel
Uncle Acid
Tbh The Night Creeper isn't that bad but Mind Control is just a bunch of forgettable filler
Death Grips.
I am not counting DG EP. Exmilitary is their first and best.
Joy Division
Every single pop artist you named there is trash.
>every album in their discography is better than the one before
How can one band be so based
>Tyler the Creator
is he quitting music?
bowie
...
Sex pistols
Childish Gambino, if he keeps his word about quitting music for good.
>FIDLAR
>Mac Demarco
>Crystal Castles
Lots of indie shit end up doing something interesting in the first album then watering it down with each consecutive album.
This. So disappointing that band. Bllood Lust was instant classic tier and the rest just sounds boring to me.
In Utero
This is almost the tragic, universal rule of artists
Crystal Castles II and III were on a level with I, I don't see them as inferior or superior.
Amnesty is Ethan's first misstep but is forgivable seeing as it produced my favourite tune of theirs, Concrete.
Talking Heads
Tonic?
at least woman was ok
Jeff Buckley......Kek

Room on Fire was worlds apart an you know it.

blood lust wasn't their first album though
This so much this.
Best example. The first album was experimental and fun and then once they found out that it could be profitable they sucked out all of the entertainment value to make it a full-time, "serious" project. There is zero joy in it anymore.
Interpol
No.
Sadly so. I tried to give those a listen, but nothing stuck like that album did.
