A Band’s First Album
Stu Choddongle’s comments on my RATM post kinda raises a bold statement from myself.
A band’s first album is their best album.
There are a few perfect examples and notable exceptions to this rule I suppose. I’ll use a combanation of my favourite bands and bands that have been in the charts recently.
- Rage Against the Machine: Rage Against the Machine
- Tool: (IMO) Laterus
- Artic Monkeys: Whatever people say I am that’s what I’m not
- Oasis: Definately Maybe
- ACDC: Back in black
- Megadeth: well it’s NOT Killing is my Busniess, I can’t descide between the rest
- Metallica: Master Of Puppets
- Coldplay: Parachutes
- Kasabian: Kasabian
- Green Day: Dookie
- Placebo: Placebo
- U2: It’s all shit
That didn’t settle anything really, I wonder if a local university would commision research into the study of first albums……
