Debut album is still their best album


Recommended Posts

Not talking about the "one and done" artists or "two and dropped", but more those artists that released five or more albums but their debut still remains their best release. 

Slaughter springs to my mind, along with Guns N Roses. 

Can you think of any others?

One of my first thoughts too. 

Some others-

Bon Jovi

Poison

Hard question, though, as both arguable, as would Slaughter be arguable with 'Fear No Evil.' For the record, I'd give the nod to the debut too, but it's close.

I'll do this for fun-

Bon Jovi - agree

Harem Scarem - agree

Tyketto - agree wholeheartedly

Reckless Love - agree

Danger Danger - too close to call for me, but definitely possible

Vain - agree

FM - I prefer 'Tough it out,' personally

GnR - agree, obviously

Dare - I prefer 'Blood from stone'

House of Lords - agree

Lillian Axe - I prefer 'Love and war'

Firehouse - agree

Love/Hate - agree as there's no competition afterwards, lol

Slaughter - agree, but 'Fear no evil' a very valid contender.

Surprised about Dare, I like Blood, but the debut is an AOR classic

I think I'd agree with those, but as noted Giant is a coin flip.

I really love both albums, but overall for me, it has to be 'Blood' by a small margin.

Dio - Dream Evil for me

Dan Reed Network - Slam for me

Reckless Love - Animal attraction for me

Dare - Blood From Stone for me...but a coin toss

House of Lords - Demons Down for me

Lillian Axe - Love & War for me

Tyketto-yas.

Dan Reed Network-Slam for me.

Reckless Love-definitely.

D2-hmm I guess yes,but I love screw it too.

Vain-all the way.

Marillion-hmm possibly but I'm not sure.

Asia-for me Astra is best John Wettons album,and with John Payne either Aqua or Aura.

FM-Tough it out for me,but close call. Indiscreet is more AOR,Tough it out melodic rock.

Thunder-yeah

GNR-yes as a full album,but some individual illusion songs may be better.

Dare-yes,I love second album too,but Out of the silence sounds timeless,one of the greatest AOR albums.

HOL-yes.

Lillian axe-Poetic justice for me! True believer,Dying to live,See you someday,Living in the grey,Innocence,so many killer tunes.

Firehouse-yes no doubt.

Love/hate-yup yup.

Slaughter-yap yap.

Always with the Vain. smh. Terrible band no matter how you slice it. My opinion so all you Davey Vain chode chokers just enjoy.

Some other fair assessments however the DRN and their self titled album, which was their 2nd btw, sure the first was an EP, but Slam and The Heat are both bangers.

I'd say Motley's first Too Fat For Love is their most complete, no skip album. Sure others followed that may have been more successful, but were hit and miss.

One that really fits this bill is Pearl Jams 10. Perfect record, cuz really it was Mother Love Bones 3rd record with Vedder singing, but they never had another equal.

Metal Church's first set the bar way to high and sure they made some great music after, but the self titled 1984 record on Ground Zero Records with BUG GUNS is fucking perfect through and through.

    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
