Second Album Syndrome? (single, albums, Scissor Sisters, concert, tracks)

jackhammer · 11-01-2007, 03:00 PM

A lot of second albums from bands and artists have come out over the past year or so that have'nt lived up to expectations. Is this because we have played the debuts to death? Not given the new releases enough air time to become familiar with it? Are they genuinely bad or is the slight change in direction disconcerting? Some things apply more to some bands than others, and there are certainly some great tracks on a lot of these albums too, but on the whole I have been dissapointed:

KASABIAN
KAISER CHIEFS
HARD-FI
ARCTIC MONKEYS
KILLERS
JOSE GONZALES
BLOC PARTY
SCISSOR SISTERS
THE BRAVERY
GRAND NATIONAL.
