Fez of Mahrez Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 In my opinion, just off the top of my head; LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver Mr Scruff - Keep It Unreal Muse - Origin of Symmetry (retreats to bunker with hard hat on) Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants
The People's Hero Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 In my opinion, just off the top of my head;LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver Mr Scruff - Keep It Unreal Muse - Origin of Symmetry (retreats to bunker with hard hat on) Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants Yes Noooooooooooooooooooooooo In that order. The other two, I couldn't possibly comment.
the_don Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Origin of Symmetry is a country mile better than Showbiz....Showbiz sounds unfinished by comparison
Trumpet Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Origin of Symmetry is a country mile better than Showbiz....Showbiz sounds unfinished by comparison Showbiz seems raw, Origin is slightly better IMO.
Dr The Singh Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Malkit Singh's Midas Touch was better then his first album!!!
James. Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Agree with Underworld. Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole (marginally better than Exit Planet Dust) Hot Chip - Coming on Strong (many will disagree) Radiohead - The Bends (someone will probably tell me there was some obscure debut before Pablo Honey, pretty sure there isn't though) The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation (Experience had a greater impact within dance music but their second had a greater influence on my taste) Nightmares on Wax - Smoker's Delight (the first one was a completely different sound) Am sure there's more but that'll do for starters!

Coming On Strong came first mate. Agree with Prodigy, Radiohead and particularly Chemical Brothers definitely. DYOH is far, far better than their first in my opinion.
the_don Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Radiohead - The Bends (someone will probably tell me there was some obscure debut before Pablo Honey, pretty sure there isn't though) I just came back with the specific intention of highlighting that...The jump between Pablo Honey and The Bends is quite a big one...

DYOH is far, far better than their first in my opinion. Oops. Whichever the more trippy one is, I prefer that! Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow (better than Nia) - Fez you'll love this album if you haven't already got it.

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow (better than Nia) - Fez you'll love this album if you haven't already got it. I think you prefer COS from memory, the one you listened to on a train on the way back from work or something. I haven't got anything by Blackalicious. Obviously I see the name mentioned in connection with J5 and The Roots. I shall endeavour to investigate further!

Blazing Arrow is such a good album. Probably in my top 5 for hip hop and that is saying something. Did you get a chance to listen to that DJ Vadim album I recommended (The Soundcatcher)? Lamb - Fear of Fours (over their self-titled debut)

In my opinion, Warning is the better album... Hmmm actually I don't know about better. I find myself listening to Warning more but really enjoy both. Must I choose?
hairy Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Led Zep II Fat Boy Slim - You've come a long way baby Coldplay - Rush of Blood
Daggers Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Buzzcocks - Love Bites Ramones - Leave Home Jean Michelle Jarre - Oxygene Nirvana - Nevermind Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy SLF - Nobody's Heroes Stranglers - No More Heroes
mancunianfox Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Buzzcocks - Love BitesRamones - Leave Home Jean Michelle Jarre - Oxygene Nirvana - Nevermind Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy SLF - Nobody's Heroes Stranglers - No More Heroes Awesome record that. Strange choice topic this. Loads of bands have better second albums than their first but often neither are very good. Maybe '2nd albums better than classic debuts' or 'classic 2nd albums' would have been more appropriate?

I doubt many people are going to come on say "xxx debut album was really shit but their second was a bit less shit".
Daggers Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 I doubt many people are going to come on say "xxx debut album was really shit but their second was a bit less shit". White Stripes was shit & De Stijl was less shit
stez Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 the second coming - the stone roses was actually a lot better than it was given credit for (at the time) and musically was far far better than the first album. also queen II was better than queens first album, queen.
Jay Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 F**king hell that is some memory. And you're right as well.Blazing Arrow is such a good album. Probably in my top 5 for hip hop and that is saying something. Did you get a chance to listen to that DJ Vadim album I recommended (The Soundcatcher)? Lamb - Fear of Fours (over their self-titled debut) I am sure James the Blue will probably agree with me imo The Solesides greatest bumps cd on Ninja Tunes is a great introduction to the likes of Blackalicious, Lateef and Lyrics born and so on you could also get the Quannum Spectrum album on MoWax which also contains the same artists and sum of the greatest hip hop around imo

Maybe '2nd albums better than classic debuts' or 'classic 2nd albums' would have been more appropriate? It was basically cos I couldn't think of many off the top of my head, as opposed to bands whose debut I prefer to their second album; Arctic Monkeys Art Brut Black Rebel Motorcycle Club The Cooper Temple Clause The Coral Daft Punk Dandy Warhols Franz Ferdinand Fun Lovin' Criminals Hot Chip Jurassic 5 The Libertines Maximo Park The Music Oasis Rage Against The Machine The Streets The Strokes Weezer I've got another for the 2nd better than debut list though - Queens of the Stone Age
Libertine Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 Radiohead - The Bends. (No obscure debut before PH) Nirvana - Nevermind. Foo Fighters - The Colour and The Shape. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream. Muse - OoS.
