"Stay on these roads" was I always felt a weak followup, and the only one that comes close in my estimation is the superb "Analogue". The rest of their albums have seriously bright spots certainly, but each one seems to be let down by one or two below-par tracks, particularly on "Memorial Beach".
And I love "Take on me", despite its history and what it made the band become in the eyes of so many...

I think the first and third albums are similiar in many ways but the debut gets the edge. Now I disagree with you, as I think nearly every song on the debut is special. The second album is great as well and different, it has a much more moodier feel and showed a different type of singing from Morten.
