In the past 15 years, who has released a better pair of consecutive, full-length studio albums than Modest Mouse's The Lonesome Crowded West -> The Moon & Antarctica?

i felt this way back in high school

I probably would have voted Blacklisted -> Fox Confessor, for the time period at issue.

(there was plenty of other stuff I loved, but it’s more idiosyncratic, and I wouldn’t go to the mat for it “objectively” like I would those two Neko albums.)

...Or is that pair disqualified, because she released a (similarly excellent) live album in between? I’m not totally clear on the rules here.

diamond eyes -> koi no yokan

i'll go with this suggestion from bradnelson

i am just now getting into deftones and right now they are the best rock n roll band in history after the stones

hell yeah

otm

Good Kid M.A.A.D City -> To Pimp a Butterfly
To Pimp a Butterfly -> DAMN
MBDTF -> Yeezus
Exai -> Elseq 1-5

Not too much else comes close for me for the last 15 years

The time period in question here was 1998-2013 (if we were doing the past 15 years from today, I’d have a different answer!)

now that i think about it, lonesome crowded west was more than 15 years old when this thread was made. mods???

tbf, the post title doesn’t require it being less than 15

ah fair enough. in that case,

Didn't It Rain -> Magnolia Electric Co
Strange Geometry -> God Save the Clientele
Last Exit -> So This is Goodbye

oh hah i already posted that last one back in the day

Every Broadcast long-player was released in the 15 years up to Feb '13. So, yes, several times times IMHO. #PVMIC
