Immediate answer that popped into my head was Thriller. It came out 10 days after I was born! With all due respect to Computer Games (released 10 days before I was born - thanks Wikipedia), I'm sticking with that.

The real answer is Slates but since that's clearly an EP, I'll go with the first self-titled Indoor Life album.
