Have you ever listened to an album that was so good...

Mar 9, 2013 12:58 AM

that you didn't want to listen to any other albums by that artist for fear of being disappointed with the rest of their discography? If so what are they? Did you ever finally make that plunge only to be disappointed?

Here are a couple albums off the top of my head that that were so good I didn't want to be disappointed in other works:
Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson
Alopecia - Why?
Bitte Orca - Dirty Projectors

Here is one of the instances where I was sort of disappointed: Keep it like a secret by Built to Spill. I feel like if that hadn't been the first album I listened to by them I would have ~loved~ all their other albums immediately, but since I heard that one first I would keep comparing it to that 'perfect' album. 6 years later i've got a good appreciation for their entire catalogue, but it definitely took me a while to get used to their older and newer albums.

Shoot, what ever happened to lifting the word limit guys?

Anyways, Do you got any albums like this?

REM would be my answer. Well, not to the extent you're talking about, because I know I listened to their other stuff. But none of it came close to blowing me away like Murmer did.

Guns N' Roses: Appetite For Destruction. It was mostly downhill from there.

Celine Dion, The Colour of My Love. But it has only gotten better from there.

Sorry, the allergy medication must be messing with my head.

Boston's first album is still the best selling debut album. It's hard to follow up something like that, and they didn't. :(

I don't think I have had any that I didn't want to listen to more, though I've had plenty of disappointment between first album and second album so maybe I should. I've had artists I don't want to share with people out of a weird form of greed. Damien Rice comes to mind.

That's like going on a date with someone and having it go so well you don't want to go on another.

I don't think I've ever loved an album and NOT immediately bought/listened to everything else the band's done. I've ended up disappointed, sure, but it's never taken away from the album that made me fall in love with them. Or, maybe it has? I always seem to find a new one though!

@agingdragqueen: I assumed that was why you never called me back, because our date went so well. I mean after all I showed my emotional side by crying uncontrollably at dinner while telling you all about my ex.

yawns, stretches

Just when I thought I was out, they puuuullll me back in.

Wow, I haven't posted anything in months. I fear seeing what color my triangle will be after I press "submit".

I'm with @agingdragqueen on this. If I hear an album I adore, I want to hear more from the band. The other albums don't always live up, but sometimes they're even better.

Ancient Melodies of the Future was my first full BTS album. I loved it. Like a lot. But then I dug deeper, and it got even better.

Man, not enough artists take time to craft an /album/ anymore.

@gideonfrost: Damien Rice is mine, bitch. Back off!

I should have taken this approach to fun.'s music after Aim and Ignite. Unfortunately, I bought Some Nights without hearing anything except the first single and I was extremely disappointed. I would have preferred to pretend it didn't exist.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
