Marsh Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I think Faith No More probably achieved this if you take out the last een "Album of the Year"We Care A Lot - Introduce Yourself - The Real Thing - Angel Dust - King For A Day....Possibly Super Furries as well...As mind - blowingly fantastic an album King For A Day is I would never say it is better than the genre - bending / defining masterpeice that is "Angel Dust." I think many would agree with this.Album of the year is also my second fave FNM album. In my opinion.It's all relative to what you like.In terms of a band "getting better with every album" I would agree FNM at least strived to make every album different and raise the bar each time with every release. They were never happy to rest on their laurels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, Angel Dust is one of my favourite albums ever, I just thought when I heard KFAD they were really stretching themselves again. Evidence, King for a day, Just a man, Star AD, I mean I'd never heard them do anything like those songs before. Next level.I'd put Album of the year below Angel Dust in my top 3.

ClicheGuevara Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 The Bouncing Souls, CKY, X-Japan, Propagandhi, Against me, Rise Against, Strung Out...I think all of these have defanitely improved over their albums. I did think there would be a lot more though. It's more generally punk bands, who have started off really shit then gradually learn how to write that are like that. It's only once they have released albums lower than the last that they begin to get known(to name), since they have reached their peak. Naming a band who's first 4-5 albums have all improved on each other is easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Strung Out, for example. Do you really think Exile In Oblivion is better than Twisted By Design? And haven't Rise Against only released two albums?

ZeromiserY Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 in my experience most bands get worse as their albums go on... see koRn as a prime example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Depending on what you thought of their last album (I thought it was awesome) Blink 182...You could say Refused but I'm not sure if they have three albums...although there is certainly an albums worth of older material (EP's etc) out there, while I sorta prefer 'Songs to fuel the flame', TSOPTC really was a band that had progressed from an average 10 a penny hardcore band to something pretty influential...the last Blink album for example is full of rip offs from that album (maybe why I like it )Most other bands I like have hit peaks, or had a few dodgy albums hidden in there somewhere, although most bands I like only ever released a few EP's and an album at most so are exempt from this contest....

calum Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 THRICE - definitely!I disagree. I prefer Identity Crisis to Illusion of Safety. TAITA is definitely the best though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I would agree with rammstein. Each album is a belter, and just when you think it can't be topped they make an even better one! I would say the same is also true of spineshank, with the three albums that they released. On the faith no more subject I would have to agree with angel dust being the peak, but that is not to take away from the latter two albums as they are also amazing.

Guest Page 99 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I was going to say converge, but 'You Fail Me' is no where as good as Jane Doe or Petitioning The Empty Sky. So... I'll say Discodance Axis: Ulterior ---> Jou Hou ---> The Inaliable Dreamless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 So... I'll say Discodance Axis: Ulterior ---> Jou Hou ---> The Inaliable Dreamless When I saw you'd posted, I knew you were going to say D.A.Recently got some old, rare D.A. stuff on tape, demo, rehearsal, live etc. Care for a copy?

Guest Page 99 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Haha Yes I am going through a bit of an obsessive phase with them. That tape sounds great, a copy of it it would be lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And haven't Rise Against only released two albums?[/quote']Yeah, that's a fair point, but I do kinda like Exile in Oblivion better. If not better, it's a step better song writing as a whole. Rise Against do have 3 albums, the first(s/t) is just pretty shit compared to the other 2, and left unknown. The thing is with them is i really doubt their next will beat the current, which fits in with what i was saying before. Actually, i prefer Revs anyway..hehe... What about Blaze, or Children of Bodom?If you can count EPs, what about Black Atom?!? I'd say so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAITA is definitely the best though.I think Identity Crisis doesn't have as many good songs as the others, but Illusion Of Safety is better (IMO) than TAITA...

Larsen B Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I'm sure many would disagree but i think Idlewild. They seem like their own band now rather than an imitation although i'll bet others will say they are imitating REM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tape sounds great' date=' a copy of it it would be lovely.[/quote']You could do a hell of a lot worse than D.A. Did you ever hear "East-West blast test"? Basically, Chris Dodge wrote and recorded a heap of guitar parts, then sent them to Dave Witte and got him to record drums to go along with it. The results were top-notch. A blazing 24-track CD, instrumentals all the way.Anyway, the tape decks need a good clean, I'll give you a shout when they've been repaired.

NARC Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I'd throw in Idlewild and the Pumpkins. Improved from Gish to Siamese Dream, then quite dramatically to Mellon Collie, levelled out with Adore, and then took a slight nosedive with Machina.

Demon Of The Fall Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Opeth only seem to be getting better and better. im just off to pick up their newest album and i cant see me being dissapointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Alkaline Trio kind of fit into this. In my opinion Crimson is their most ambitious album but Good Mourning and From Here To Infermery are sorta on the same level, but that's just what I think. Although Maybe I'll Catch Fire is a decent album it's nothing compared to albums that followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camie Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I thought Maybe I'll Catch was way better than "From Here To Infirmary" and also that "Good Mourning" was better than "Crimson"I was thinking At The Drive-In but I think their debut album is better than Vaya.
