Artists who's second album is better than their first

[Marc]

Go.

[Marc]

Often the first album is far better than the second, so I shouldn't expect too many

[CharlieO]

Lana Del Rey - Paradise (edition) is going to be amazing in a more haunting sense

Lady GaGa - TFM was so much better. The fame was boring as ****. tho its all crap and never to the LDR standards

[MeMyselfAndI]

Taylor Swift - Fearless >> Taylor Swift

[Me. I Am Salman]

A Girl Like Me > Music of the Sun, so Rihanna. But GGGB blew them both out the water
Also Chris Brown as Forever was better than his debut album

[Alf]

rolling stones 9th album was better than their 1st, and the 10th was better than that,then went even better with their 12th also the 13th 15th 16th and 18th were works of genius i also like albums 22 and 23

[Samuel.]

Kanye West (Late Registration)
Drake (Take Care)
Common (Resurrection)
Eminem (MMLP)
Outkast (ATLiens)

[M X]

Amy Winehouse
Lady Gaga

[Ryan.]

Adele?

[reece(:]

Kiss by Carly Rae Jepsen

[Doogle]

Beyonce. So far she's improved a lot with every album.

[Brother Leon]

Kanye
Eminem
Wiley
Chip
2Pac


Plenty of urban artists.

[Ninastar]

Amy Winehouse
Lady Gaga

you're back!

[CharlieO]

Leslea knope

[LemonJam]

that I can think of...
Fall Out Boy
Joy Division (yeah sue me)
Nirvana (although the 3rd album is better than the 2nd)
Smashing Pumpkins (although Mellon Collie is their best)
System of a Down


I'm undecided on Adele because I feel like although 21 probably has a better collection of songs, 19 just has a lot more character to me and I find it more memorable in a way for that reason.

DIL was her best album
Baby Boy, Naughty Girl, Hip Hop Star, Signs and Me Myself & I :love:

[Benjamin]

Alanis Morissette - Supposed Former Inaftuation Junkie is much better than Jagged Little Pill (but most people haven't listened to her second album).

System Of A Down - Toxicity was much better than their self titled debut.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Leona Lewis Echo is better than Leona Lewis Spirit, Spirit has some fillers.

http://i395.photobucket.com/albums/pp32/sharkattack_torrential/bow.gif But exactly, except I don't know Joy Division. Also realized that Adele seems to be spectacular live rather than in the studio. Better every time really.

[Gstar]

^ I agree

21 > 19

[Marc]

19 > 21 IMO

But anyway..

[lostalex]

I like to pick scabs. I like when the blood turns all black and hard and then i get to pick it off.

[Z]

Depends on what you prefer in an album - something that altogether runs well as a concept, or something that has lots of great but individual songs that don't mesh together.

Ghosts > Revolution In Me (Siobhan Donaghy) as a standalone piece, I prefer to listen to the entire Ghosts album in one go, but Revolution In Me has more intriguing tracks.
Sam's Town > Hot Fuss (The Killers)
Tourist > Vehicles and Animals (Athlete) though I think Black Swan is their best album.

[Munchkins]

Taylor swift definitely
Also Prefer Roman Reloaded to PF

[Ammi]

..well, just to kill the thread, I thought that Cat Stevens 'Tea for the Tillerman' was better than 'Mona Bone Jakon'...by quite a bit....
