Californiaman Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Just picked up a copy of Van Halen II Wednesday. Great sophomore effort from them. I think Duane was even saying it was one of his favorite albums. For some bands, despite all the hype, the second release turns out to be a terrible album for what ever reason. Can you think of other great second releases from your favorite bands that rival the first? If so please post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I don't know if it rivals their first, but I always thought Metallica's 'Ride The Lightning' was pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB72 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The Black Crowes Southern Harmony And Musical Companion. One of the best albums ever recorded 2nd or otherwise. It was vastly superior to their first album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 The Band - s/t. How do you rival one of the greatest debut albums of all time (Music from Big Pink)? With this beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was vastly superior to their first album. 100% agree. The first album is crap. Southern Harmony is when they started to come into their own.

Californiaman Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'd also have to add Iron Maiden's "Killers" album to this list. And no list would be complete without Neil Young's, "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music From Big Pink was a near impossible album to follow up, but they did a fine job! God I love the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Consolers of the Lonely- Raconteurs. Amazing stuff, first album was good, this was great. Now if they only made more... Sea of Cowards- Dead Weather. Not a huge fan of the first album, but I really got into them on this album. Don't call me a Jack White fanboy, both of these bands I fell in love with before I even knew it was him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
