Most disappointing follow up album...

edited September 2007 in Other Music
Sometimes a band follows a really great album or vice versa, wich albums do you consider a big follow up letdown...

Sam's Town-the killers, Please,no arguments as to how much better than Hot Fuss it was. I like SAM'S TOWN. but not in comparison to HOT FUSS...

The Future Embrace- billy corgan - what a crap, Zwan's "Mary Star of the Sea" was a good album...

Room On Fire - After the Strokes released "Is This It" I was sure they were the next BIG thing. I was wrong...

Weezer (Green) - After 2 spectacular albums and a 5 year hiatus, I couldn't imagine expectations being any higher... a recipe for a major let down.

Oasis's BE HERE NOW was a stinker, especially following up the majestic MORNING GLORY.

and the biggest letdown is ´´KID A´´by radiohead, after this band released one of the most important album ever they came with this crap...

    I strongly agree with billy corgans solo album.. it was rubbish... I can't get into Kid A but this doesnt mean its a bad album I just dont understand it. I don't like Oasis anyway so its all rubbish to me even Morning Glory.

    I think Audioslave had a decent first record on their hands even though I was never a big fan but now they have released to of the most dissappointing albums of any major big or important band of the last 20 years especially seeing the talent in that band.

    Lullabies to Paralyze by Queens of the Stone Age has a few good songs but for the most part it is a disappointing follow up to Songs For The Deaf.

    I think Kid A and Weezer's Green Album were big disappointments as well.

    By The Way was a poor follow up to Californication, which I like a lot.

    The Tragically Hip's Trouble at the Henhouse is a disappointing follow up to Day For Night.

    I love Lullabies but I have to agree it aint quite in the same league as SFTD.
    Riot Act was a bit of a let down after Binaural.
    Load
    Adore
    One Hot Minute

    I love most of these albums but compared to the album that came before them they are fairly lacking.

    Kid A is one of my favourite albums of all time. You may not hold in such high esteem but it sure ain't crap.
    Try listening to bootlegs from the shows since its release. Kid A and Amnesiac songs are fantastic in a live setting. Combined on setlists with those of the other albums including OK Computer, you'll see they all complement each other very nicely. This is the beauty of Radiohead's varied catalog, not too unlike Pearl Jam's.

    Personally I love Black Holes & Revelations. I find it easier listening than the others. Again hearing some of the songs live, especially Knights of Cydonia, was a factor.

    I could not agree more

    but man spot on here. I like a few songs off of Black Holes, but it is just not very good at all compared to Absolution.

    another is Hawks & Doves which was a follow up to rust never sleeps by neil young

    i was dissappointed by Neon Bible - Arcade Fire .... not that its bad but i had high expectations and it wasnt anywhere as good as Funeral.


    i thought this thread was gonna be more about poor SECOND albums... thats what i though "follow up" meant?


    Second Coming - The Stone Roses just sprang to mind as well!!!
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Kid A was a major letdown alright.

    room on fire wasn't near as solid as IS this it.

    Stadium arcadium is near as good as By the way

    Wow opinions sure do vary. I love Kid A, One Hot Minute and Evil Empire, all of which being my favourite albums by each artist in question (apart from the Chilis, that accolade goes to BSSM). Incubus and Muse with Light Grenades and Black Holes & Revelations (and Absolution actually) respectively get my vote.
