What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you? (lemm.ee)

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS's stuff just doesn't hit the same way.

And if you're not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist's work? Whatever works for you.

*Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.

P.O.D. I legitimately did not know they released other albums because Satellite was that good. I listened to them. I shouldn’t have.

Fr. People who only know Satellite might say POD stands for Payable on Death. Those who have heard everything else know it's actually Pile of Dookie.

Satellite is undeniably their best album. However, the track "Southtown" from The Fundamental Elements of Southtown goes harder than anything they ever made after that, and I kept that cd for years just for that track.
