Favorite sophomore albums
I got these two over the weekend. I've been meaning to get Untrue on vinyl for a while and Show Your Bones is my most replayed YYYs album so when I saw it at the store I snatched it right away. I didn't think much about it in the moment but later realized that they are both artist's second albums. Much is said about sophomore slumps but many artists also have classic second albums. Untrue is often considered Burial's masterpiece and, although Show Your Bones didn't get as much acclaim as Fever to Tell or It's Blitz, I find myself coming back to it much more often (probably because I overplayed the other two when they were released). Some other classics I would add to the list are Bjork's Post, Daft Punk's Discovery and Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence. What about you guys, what are some of your favorites?
