From my glass half-empty world view, a lot of bands fail to better their debut LP, and the vast majority of best work tends to be on 1st 3 albums.


I reckon I agree with that for the most part. The first album thing is probably as most (proper) bands will have been going for a year or three before they get a deal so will have a fair bit of material to choose the best tracks from for their first album and have had time to hone it as well as they can. I think it can be a bit of a tragedy for those who get picked up a little too soon, before they're really ready.

The second album often has some of the older tracks that didn't make it to the first album ... after that I guess it's usually just what they've come up with in the last year.

The exceptions prove the rule ... those who manage to make it past that tricky third album and develop beyond their early sound without losing their distinction ... sometimes you get that awkward transitional album.
