Bands who drop a full point average between albums

When an artist puts out a record so bad the site consensus drops the user average a full point or more from the previous record. Any genre, any artist, gimme your names let's hear em. Apologies if this list idea has been done before! No ill intent just having some fun.
1Linkin Park
One More Light


The Hunting Party (2014) - 3.2 avg

One More Light (2017) - 1.9 avg

1.3 point drop.

Coming fresh off of what was their most inspired record in years the band decided to shoot themselves in the foot with the disastrous One More Light, an amalgam of the worst of an already dated sugarcoated pop sound with some truly head-scratching features. What a shame that this record will forever live in the shadow of the tragic events that would follow shortly after its release. RIP Chester, but this album is a rough swan song...
2Kid Cudi
Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven


Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon (2014) - 2.4 avg

Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven (2015) - 1.3 avg

1.1 point drop.

Speedin' Bullet is now a legendary album for all the wrong reasons, and justifiably so. Interesting that such a significant drop occurred in albums only 1 year apart. Even more interesting is the well-documented glow-up Cudi got on the Kids See Ghosts project (sitting at a damn fine 3.9 avg).
3Daft Punk
Human After All


Discovery (2001)- 4.1 avg

Human After All (2005) - 3.1 avg

1 point drop.

Not gonna lie, I haven't heard this record. Title seems slightly ironic given the site perception though lol.
4Green Day
Father of All Motherfuckers


Revolution Radio - (2016) 2.7 avg

Father of All... (2020) - 1.6 avg

1.1 point drop.

I like this one because the preceding record isn't even well regarded, with a pretty mediocre average. But Father of All is just that fucking bad lol. Any chance we can get to shit on this garbage ass butt ass album we'll take it.
5Nas
I Am...


It Was Written (1996) - 3.9 avg

I Am... (1999) - 2.8 avg

1.1 point drop.

Maintaining the quality of Illmatic for an entire career would be a damn near impossible feat but this kinda drop is definitely a bummer. Full disclosure, haven't heard this one and the point difference ain't convincing me.
6At the Drive-In
in•ter a•li•a


Relationship of Command (2000) - 4.4 avg

in ter a li a [?] (2017) - 3.2 avg

1.2 point drop.

Relationship of Command is still amazing and fresh 20+ years removed from its release. interalia or whatever the fuck has a couple neat songs I guess but I don't remember a single moment from it to be frank. Maybe some shit about a guillotine clapping I dunno. Ceddy & Omar bring back Volta 2k22
7Refused
Freedom


The Shape of Punk to Come (1998) - 4.5 avg

Freedom (2015) - 2.9 avg

1.6 point drop.

Comeback records are hard, as is evident by this pick and the previous one. A 17 year gap is tough to pull off and there's generally a little bit of leeway granted to account for the time lost but still, this one sucks. The biggest point drop we've seen so far. Kind of makes me sad. At least glassjaw delivered...
8Eminem
Encore


The Eminem Show (2002) - 3.8 avg

Encore (2004) - 2.5 avg

1.3 point drop.

Ah yes, and we have arrived at Eminem, hip-hop's king of inconsistency. Utterly failing to deliver any semblance of what made Em's first 3 LPs great, Encore would be a sign of things to come. Those things being corny ass bars, dumb voices and stupid garbage records. Only a 2 year gap between the two records in question as well which makes this all the more offensive. A special artist on Sput because he has not one but two glorious failures under his belt, which leads me nicely into...
9Eminem
Revival


Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013) - 3.1 avg

Revival (2017) - 1.5 avg

1.6 point drop.

Equal to Refused's Freedom on the point drop scale, except there was only 4 years between releases here, as opposed to the former's 17 year gap. Look, everybody knows this album is a dumpster fire. While MMLP2 wasn't great (and frankly has some of Eminem's all-time worst lyrics if you ask me), we should stand in awe at how truly abysmal this shitfuck bungass record is. However, according to site consensus, Em would turn it around rather spectacularly the next year with Kamikaze, sitting at a 2.8 average (an increase of 1.2). So that's worth something I guess?
10Weezer
The Green Album


Pinkerton (1996) - 4.4 avg

Green Album (2001) - 3.2 avg

1.2 point drop.

And here we arrive at our final group in question. The Eminem of alt-rock, if you will. The most consistently inconsistent band around. Starting off their career strong with Blue and Pinkerton and dropping hard on LP3 with Green, this would become a pattern that would repeat over and over during the course of their discography. Hell, two albums after this we're seeing another 0.9 point drop. And three albums after that we see a 0.9 point increase.
11Weezer
Pacific Daydream


The White Album (2016) - 3.8

Pacific Daydream (2017) - 2.4

1.4 point drop.

After the "comeback" duo of Everything Will Be Alright... & especially the excellent White Album, many fans declared "WEEZER IS BACK BABY", failing to realize that this was not the truth and instead this was just a routine case of the Weezer machine resetting for another run through the ringer. The biggest drop of their career (so far), White Album into Pacific Daydream is especially disheartening because these records came out literally one year apart. However that wouldn't compare to what was to come, as in two albums time they'd find themselves with another full point increase between Black & OK Human, only to drop 0.9 in THE SAME YEAR with Van Weezer. Legendary. The kings.
