El Pintor was an upswing, agreeing to tour with Morrissey is a nosedive however.
I agree, except the only decent thing they ever did was the first song on their first album. Everything subsequent is shite
So I logged into community.Drownedinsound.com
It was a bank holiday friday and i was bored
some folks were talking about musicians that had the worst decline
The title made me smile as it reminded me a little of the Decline of Western Civilisation films…
I first saw ‘The Metal Years’ one cool autumn evening after seeing Manny Pacquiao fight.
Anyhow I was wearing an onion on my belt…which was the style at the time.
Someone mentioned how they thought Mark Kozeleks’ music hadn’t declined,
then another guy talked about tapping one in.
It reminded me of the time I was at Anton LeVays house and discovered he was a huge Spurs fan…
Tony Blair
Eminem has to be up there
Eminem.
The drop from Eminem Show to Encore is outstanding. Then the drop from MM LP2 to whatever that fucking trainwreck of an album that followed it was called was somehow even steeper
I love reflecktor
Case for REM with Reveal/Around the Sun. At least things picked up after that
It’s Weezer.
I see you are also a fan
Actually what about mitski? Puberty 2 was great then her last album was fucking shit
Stevie Wonder going from Songs in the Key of Life to I Just Called to Say I Loved You in less than a decade was pretty bad.
Belle and Sebastian
Indeed
Yeah, I’d agree with this
Have to say The Smashing Pumpkins
Bloc party? Gold? Really?
