What's the biggest fall from grace you can recall?
...for example, I bought 'Clap your Hands Say Yeah' eponymous debut and was knocked out by the fresh catchy songs and raw simplicity of it all....then along came 'Some Loud Thunder'. Holy sh!t! what a sack of cak that is. I would, without a doubt, any day of the week, rather listen to thunder!
Then there was DC Basehead's 'Play with toys' - Top 20 all time album (I.M.H.O.) Followed by 'Not in Kansas Anymore'...not in my collection anymore!
Obviously this wil be debatable - not everyone will agree with me that after 'Ten', 'Vs' sounded like a pile of pants.
Whaddya think...?

Beck has really annoyed me - Odelay is very good, but almost everything he's released since has been just about unlistenable to me. He partially redeemed himself with Guero and only fully redeemed himself with The Information - took over 10 years! He just changes musical styles way too frequently, and for my tastes, not for the better!
Buck 65's Talkin' Honky Blues is a triumph on every track, but his latest album Secret House Against the World is horrible. Turns out he let his French girlfriend do backing vocals, and the whole thing sounds like warmed-over dogfood.

I'd have to say Rod Stewart. "Every Picture Tells A Story" was a dynamic, innovative album. Nearly everthing since has been over-commercialized drivel.

Fair enough so far guys....but I'm thinking consecutive albums, follow-ups, second album syndrome...hero to zero in the space of two albums kinda thing.

It was consecutive albums in Buck 65's case.

Not familiar with them/him Mark.
I loved 'Mutations' but 'Midnight Vultures' just didn't hit the spot and 'Sea Change' should have been Becks 'Blood on the Tracks' ....but wasn't. 'Guero'...getting back there...'The information' Bullseye! (Should have come after Odelay)
