Bands in metal that never top their first album.

Ride The Lightning is great but just lacks the speed and picking like on kill 'em all. I find the riffs and song structures on kill 'em all to be better and less predictable. Kill 'em All easily has the band best production job too.

I agree with you on that. Metallica starts off great every album gets worse and worse in my opinon. If you listen to Fuel and Re-Fuel without ever knowing anything else about Metallica they are really good hard rock albums.

Soilwork
Opeth
Cynic (only one cd)
The Crowning

chainheart machine and predators portrait both improved on steelbath suicide imo. i like the stuff after that too but i'm not gonna go there.

edit: it's Load and Reload

SUPER-nitpick

and i own reload and if it were another band...it would be a decent album
 
yea i no it is...i love the album alot...(in a sexual and non-sexual way :saint: and :kickass:) but in this forum it seems that everyone else is saying

"i did not have sexual relations with that album"

^^^ok that was weird even for one of my posts...BUT I SAID IT
 
Emperor
Enslaved
Exodus
Agalloch
In Flames
Mayhem
Destruction
Skepticism
Drudkh

I realize, of course, that some of these still have the posibility to top their first, but it ain't very likely, especially considering the quality of the releases in question!
 
A Predators Potrait is the only soilwork album that stood out for them imo. Soilworks last 3,4 albums could not possibly be any worse than they are.
