I can barely listen to any of them but you could argue that Animal Collective has improved with every album.
― skip, Saturday, 20 November 2010 02:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Kind of yeah, though I'd say Strawberry Jam < Feels quite significantly. Once you put out a bunch of albums it's hard to keep the always-inclining crowd happy.

Supergrass fit in here for a long time, until they took a slight dip on "Road To Rouen" and then a more ill-advised and bigger one on "Diamond Ho-Haa"

I guess Fountains Of Wayne have dropped out of this list by now. Their fourth album was not at all bad, but still not up there with "Welcome Interstate Managers".

Dunno, I played their first two a lot, but "Achtung Bono" got one play and I feel that if had been 'better', it'd have got more.

My first thought was Japan, and I'm sure the band members that are still with us would agree, but on second thought I think their first album is better than their second.

I posted in the other thread that the Midge Ure Ultravox belonged there. Funnily enough I would also say that the John Foxx Ultravox belong in this thread.

Buncha things to respond to itt:
> Meat is Murder has the title track on it, so no
I heard "Meat Is Murder" when I was 17 so I'll admit to some temporal bias but I still love every heart-on-his-sleeve bit of it more than the rest of their catalog. It's full of amazing sounds (especially given that my copy included "How Soon Is Now").
> British Sea Power
Their catalog has been inconsistent for me, and I'll rep for most of it. The debut is great, then a couple of good but lesser albums until "Valhalla Dancehall" which I adore, then lesser returns on the next couple of albums (not counting the soundtrack work, which is fine but not my thing).
> Gerald, you're my favorite poster here for a reason.
Cheers, Austin! The Sound is one of those amazing bands where each album feels like a triumph for very different reasons. "Jeopardy" is a punch in the face, "From The Lions Mouth" tones it down but adds wonderful texture, "All Fall Down" is a left-turn full-on post-punk masterpiece, "Shock Of Daylight" is a perfect pop EP, "Heads And Hearts" takes that pop and inverts it and "Thunder Up" crystallizes everything Borland was trying to accomplish. And then his solo albums almost continue that upward climb but "Brittle Heaven" and "Cinematic" are a bit weak.
