I have to disagree. Ten Storey Lovesong was great! Some good tracks on the second album but let's face it they were never going to match the debut after such a long time between the releases.

I think the Libs second album is actually more consistent than the first, whereas both of Interpol's first two albums are great for different reasons (the third's a bit patchy IMHO)...

Bananas queried my dissing all but 'Pablo Honey' by Radiohead on the sister thread to this one, so would like to throw that one in here. Maybe I just came from the more simplistic school of indie at the time (no change there really), but I just got increasingly irritated with the dual attack of their pretentiousness and the sacred cow status that was bestowed upon them. They also became so, so dull...

Ride had a pretty good debut (their EP's pre-debut were probably even better) before they ran out of ideas on later releases, albeit they still had their moments.

Gene. An acquired melodramatic taste admittedly, but they more than held their own with their debut.
