neurisis17 04.16.14	Damn, of course I forgot Paranoid...
neurisis17 04.16.14	and I did pass up a few that definitely weren't slumps, just not among what I feel are the best in the various bands discogs... The Beyond, The Ties That Blind, Aeolian, Morningrise, Aenima)
YoYoMancuso 04.16.14	Siamese Dream ATLiens The Bends Sleep's Holy Mountain New Plastic Ideas Peace Sells....But Who's Buying?

Thibs 04.16.14	I guess I won't be checking inter arma's first one. Couldn't get into Sky Burial
collins 04.16.14	2, 4, and 9 had better debuts imo
Salvidian 04.16.14	Aw, sweet, 15!
neurisis17 04.16.14	@Avagantamos I don't know, I'm between Lateralus and 10,000 Days. Can we agree on Undertow being their weakest?
YoYoMancuso 04.16.14	10,000 Days is by far their weakest
collins 04.16.14	and i would put Post by Bjork
neurisis17 04.16.14	I mean I understand why people have that opinion, but I still regard it as an awesome album. (about 10,000 Days)
Thibs 04.16.14	Bloodbath Norther Extol
ArsMoriendi 04.16.14	Radiohead's The Bends should be on here. Also Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire.
Kalopsia 04.16.14	Alter Bridge -- Blackbird Aranda -- Stop the World Birds of Tokyo -- Universes Coheed and Cambria -- In Keeping Secrets Hurt -- Vol II Karnivool -- Sound Awake Nothing More -- Nothing More Protest the Hero -- Fortress Scale the Summit -- Carving Desert Canyons
Thibs 04.16.14	St>evil empire
Riviere 04.16.14	"10,000 Days is by far their weakest" No that'd be Opiate.
FromDaHood 04.16.14	So dumb that Second Stage Turbine Blade is their first album Also Subather obv, GKMC, Supreme Clientele
ArsMoriendi 04.16.14	@Thibs: Whether you prefer their s/t or not, you couldn't call Evil Empire a slump, right? It's my favorite of theirs personally.
GringoSuave89 04.16.14	2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14 are all on point. I also feel like The Bends by Radiohead is worth a mention.
Thibs 04.16.14	Ars, no not a slump by any means. But the list is improved sophome releases and s/t is their best
Avagantamos 04.16.14	^
Artuma 04.16.14	modest mouse - the lonesome crowded west dredg - el cielo pixies - doolittle fair to midland - arrows and anchors protest the hero - fortress pavement - crooked rain, crooked rain gy!be - lysf weezer - pinkerton streetlight manifesto - somewhere in the between glassjaw - worship and tribute took some bands that had relatively highly anticipated debuts and whose sophomore album doesn't pale in comparison
sapient 04.16.14	Nirvana- Nevermind Ik someone's gonna try and convince me that Bleach is better
Avagantamos 04.16.14	worship and tribute [2]
Kalopsia 04.16.14	@Artuma -- depends on how you look at Fair to Midland's discog... A&A is their 2nd MAJOR studio release, but really Inter.funda.stifle is their 2nd release
Kalopsia 04.16.14	in which case they still qualify for this list
StallionMang 04.16.14	Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
Thibs 04.17.14	dredg - el cielo [2]
Thibs 04.17.14	Not Leitmotif bud
NordicMindset 04.17.14	toxicity aenima rated r ride the lightning peace sells el cielo aeroplane lonesome crowded west thirteenth step lift yr skinny fists the downward spiral doolittle siamese dream
Artuma 04.17.14	@kalopsia yea i actually keep forgetting they had two albums before fables, but i think it's safe to say they avoided the sophomore slump with arrows
Rowan5215 04.17.14	Fuck yeah Throwing Copper
neurisis17 04.17.14	^yeah really great album, but then Secret Samadhi was excruciatingly boring, it kind of turned me off to the idea of listening to their later albums.
NordicMindset 04.17.14	Lightning Crashes was my jam
