mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Right, sort of taking jctg's lead here's a challenge, how about best third albums where the first two were rubbish and exist, unloved, only in the collections of die-hards and completists' collections.Anyone...anyone?

mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'll have a tentative stab with Yes.Meandering psychadaelia gives way to unfocussed rubbish before finding that Yes sound.Though I'm sure many will argue on here that they never did a good album ;) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19660-best-debut-albums/page/3/#findComment-476459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Biffy Clyro - PuzzleSnow Patrol - Final Straw (not saying this is a great album, but it was their 3rd, and the one that boke them).

mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Good calls otta.Weirdly I thought we weren't going to get anything from the last ten years, as the music industry has changed so much, it's all about an immediate impact these days, whether you're signed and if your first album fails you're cast into the wilderness or whether you're a 'youtube sensation' who's follow ups invariably disappoint (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, I'm looking at you!!!)

mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I was hoping Pulp's His 'n Hers would fit the bill but it seems it was their fourth album :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19660-best-debut-albums/page/3/#findComment-476470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Primal Scream - Screamadelica. Surely one of the best third albums ever! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19660-best-debut-albums/page/3/#findComment-476475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ooookayyyyy.Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West.I actually love their previous releases, but they're definitely fan boy territory and this was their first accessible album and mainstream success.

david_carnell Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Bon Iver - For EmmaFleet Foxes - Fleet FoxesNeither will ever repeat those heights. Guaranteed. Does that then lessen how good the debut album is, when you know it's a flash-in-the-pan?

Melody Gardot - 'My One And Only Thrill' (Live from SoHo being an EP)...Another one down to taste but...Talking Heads - 'Fear Of Music', the one that turned my head in their direction.

mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I can go with MSP as it was Holy Bible that got them the wider acclaim, though I'm sure fans will freak at the thought that the first two are no good. as for EMG I don't care what happened late, I'm looking for slow starters.I can have TH as your personal point of view, but seeing as their first two albums are classics I can't let them in ;)I was considering Led Zep on the rather weak effort that it was on III that they really found that distinctly Led Zep sound rather than being a fantastic blues rock band with a distinctive sound, if you see what I mean, but considering the first two are total classics with many of the all time best loved songs on them, I can't allow that either.It's actually really hard isn't it.

mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I toyed with Cocteau Twins in that Treasure was their first classic, but Head over Heels is far too good to dismiss.

maxxi Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yello - You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess ... (The album with 'I Love You' and though the 3rd album it's still way before everything they did was used by BBC sports broadcasters and/or US film soundtracks of the 80s)They Might Be Giants - Flood. And for bonus points what about-T.Rex - T. Rex ... Debut album of band's abbreviated name but fifth album overall.

mockney piers Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Coool Maxxi.I've a fifth album up my sleeve too.The Shamen produced god-awful post goth indie-rock psychedelia fare until dropping some pills and producing the then classic En-Tact, before resuming on the turgid [now dancey] rubbish path.It hasn't aged well though.
