Demon Days by Gorillaz
Silent Alarm by Bloc Party
Metallica (Black Album)
And Justice For All… By Metallica
Master of Puppets > …And Justice for All
Wait you think the Gorillaz fell off after Demon Days???
Not dramatically but it was the best and none topped it.
That’s arguable, and even then it could only ever be considered marginally better than Plastic Beach. Even if you don’t like the new stuff, PB is fire.

Do you like guitars? Yngwie, Vai, Johnson.
Yeah. But I’m just naming ones I can think of where the album was never eclipsed. It just so happens that that is the case for those guitar players…and it’s not like we’re going to hear Yngwie or Johnson somehow suddenly reinvent themselves this late in their careers.
For example, I’m a HUGE fan of Khruangbin and Julian Lage but….what will Julian Lage or Khruangbin give us in the future? We may never know if they have peaked until that time has passed.
Kid A was genius, I’m curious on your thoughts of In Rainbows?
Meh. Didn’t suck but nothing will have the cohesiveness of that album.
The Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Bruhhhhhhhh
White Album? Abbey Road? I mean, even if you aren’t a big fan of Yellow Submarine or Magical Mystery Tour, how can you say freaking Abbey Road is a comedown from Sgt Pepper’s?
Actually, you might be right. I’ll take the Beatles out. They were good all along.
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Thank you for correcting the original poster on this one.
Once they went from metal to hard rock, it was over for me.
It’s bizarre to hear anyone mention anything other than Master of Puppets. As an old school death metal guitar player turned jazz geezer, Master of Puppets is, by a wide margin, unanimously considered the best metal album of all time by most metal musicians who know their shit.
Wait a second, no way you’re slandering Plastic Beach like that. PB is equal to DD, some days it hits better even.
Plastic Beach is good, but I like Demon Days more. Gorillaz fallen since PB.
Sure, but I wouldn’t call PB “falling off.” Still, Gorillaz still makes bangers these days, even if the albums themselves aren’t as good. Desolé slaps.
Plastic Beach is better for the simple fact that it contains Sweepstakes. I’ve come to learn that a lot of people dislike that song a great deal, which blows my mind. Mos Def is aces and the production on that track is brilliant.
I’m more of an Empire Ants man myself, but I get what you’re saying. It’s such a fun album.
