Whats your favorite debut album?

[hezagenius]

Queens of the Stone Age - s/t
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Weezer - s/t (aka The Blue Album)
X - Los Angeles
Pixies - Surfer Rosa (unless you count the Come On Pilgrim EP which is also good)
Air - Moon Safari
Autechre - Incunabula

 

[Frosties]

Good cd.


How's their second cd in comparison?

I don't know - I feel fulfilled from the first album, so unless the second album is mindblowingly orgasmic, one album is enough.

 

[BlackLodge]

I forgot Aspera Hiems Symfonia by Arcturus

 

[Lightbulb Sun]

Who said OTSOL was PT's best album? This thread is about favorite debut records. "In Absentia" has always been my favorite, too, but it wasn't exactly their "debut". All their shit is pretty much brilliant in my book, but I would agree that their newer, heavier stuff is their overall best work, though. PT's evolution has been fun to observe from one record to the next, and much like with Opeth, you can pretty much count on them to continue pushing the envelope and we're all lucky enough to be around to witness it!

It's a great time to be alive... (well, from a musical standpoint, anyway!)

Sorry, must've misunderstood the thread.....

But I have to agree that it is a great time to be alive. People are really showing the possibilities of instruments. I love metal and I love how fast some guitar players are getting, but when I hear someone take an E-Bow or a synthesizer or some sort of pedal and add it to their guitar set up to make noises that were unthinkable, that strikes a chord inside (I know, horrible pun) that makes that type of music awesome to me.

Iron & wine

^I love Iron & Wine, I'm sure you'd find a fair few here who would agree.

That surprises me lots.
Quality band, very good music. The Shepherd's Dog is a great album.

Forgot one of the best metal debuts I know (A bit surprsied it hasn't been mentioned yet):

Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor

Simply put, to quote a member from Symphony X forums: "Splendor was cool as shit". This album is just great.

Btw. This thread made me think... What about best last albums by bands (By bands, which either don't exist or don't make albums any more). There's a lot of good one's in that category too!
