Btw, in relation to many bands that appeared on this new century, it is a bit controversial to say they are falling off after their first album.

Since 2000, countless bands have released a great first album and then ""disappeared"" or the hype just stopped. Alt-J are a good example.

Sam's Town - The Killers

Stone Roses - Stone Roses.

Their debut album put them on a very high pedestal that they were never able to match.

Lonerism - Tame Impala

Dunno if they are falling off, but since Lonerism , they (or just Kevin Parker) are more focus producing music aside psych rock. Nowadays, Its visible Kevin is more focus on pop music, and his collaborations explains his focus.

He is now producing the new album of Dua Lipa. And the last song from her, has clearly new Kevin vibes

Shinedown The Sound of Madness

I love all of their albums, but there's something truly special about the musicality and emotional impact of the songs and album as a whole for The Sound of Madness

There subsequent albums are fantastic, but have more ups and downs than the consistent high bar of The Sound of Madness

Similarly, I think Disturbed Immortalized was Disturbed's peak work, with The Light and The Sound of Silence being incredible peaks of their signature style and highly musical storytelling on a fantastic album.

I’d put ACS as peak, MA and Holywood were both great, then a very long lull. Pale Emperor was the last one that caught my ear like the older ones did.

[–] MeDuViNoX 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I really liked ACS, but it didn't feel right leaving the next 2 out. Pale Emperor was the last half decent one for sure.

Death Magnetic is better than Metallica's Metallica. That coming from a person who has been a fan since the 80s.

  • Last Splash by the Breeders
  • White Album - The Beatles
  • The Wall - Pink Floyd

Abbey Road was their final album and it was arguably their best. They definitely did not fall off after White Album.

Close To The Edge has two of Yes's greatest songs.

Close To The Edge has three songs.

Their work after that has some highlights, like Going For The One, but they struggled for a few albums, lost some members, and got real weird with it for 80s new-wave. If you go through their discography decades after the fact (hi) then there's a real drop in giving-a-shit after the glorious nonsense of "Siberian Khatru." All three tracks are Beck-grade frisson engines. If you wish "Roundabout" was just the way the intro sounds, that's the worst song on this album, "And You And I." It's a really good song.

The band still exists, somehow. Steve Howe's the only remaining member from back in the day. Not an original-original member, but it's kind of a Danny Elfman / Justin Hayward situation. Only dorks know he replaced someone.

Agree with lots of others here so I'll say
