Greatest Improvement Over Previous Effort

[Croggs]

What full length album is infinitely better than the previous release from the same band?

For the record, I like quite a few of the cds (Sink or Swim, Buddha, Major Motion Picture, and Baseball), but people obv give a lot more love to the cds released directly after. For me, It's Fall Out Boy because I cannot stand Evening, and TTTYG is a one of my top 5 favorite cds, but I'd expect to see a lot of Say Anything love (because a lot of people have ...Is A Real Boy as a top one or two favorite cd ever) and Dude Ranch (Since Buddha just is not a very good cd at, but you have to like it because it's Blink).

Oh well, I'm sure I missed some pretty key choices, and I apologize. I will add an "Other" option.

[fadedmemories]

Where's the poll?

[Croggs]

Ha, sorry, I guess I'm not sure what I'm doing. That's the only way I know how to post the poll. I hope it was worth the wait..... feel free to add suggestions, and I will try and add a couple to a poll. If that's allowed? Sorry. Noob.

[fadedmemories]

Just delete this thread and make another one.

[MADSTA]

I have to say Fall Out Boy just because Evening was really shitty.

[superichie]

FOB hands down. Take This to Your Grave is light years beyond evening out.

[lilRIPsta]

Def Say Anything. And Three Cheers was so much better than Black Parade

[COTA]

Your Favorite Weapon to Deja?

[briewer]

Radiohead (Pablo Honey-->The Bends). Really the only correct answer, seeing as Pablo Honey sucked far worse than almost all of the 'previous' albums on here and The Bends is much better than all of the 'improved' records.

[Croggs]

Your Favorite Weapon to Deja?


I know a lot of people love Deja more than YFW, but I was under the impression that 95% of people on AP.net love everything they have ever done. I like YFW more, but I am a sucker for pop-punk, probably my greatest flaw.

[Alou]

I voted for Blink 182. They're supposed to win everything aren't they?

[Theseventhson]

Your Favorite Weapon to Deja?
This one.

[anamericangod]

Waiting ---> Full Collapse

[jordalsh]

I voted for Punchline but I don't know why... both albums are really good.
Probably because their my favorite band and I Like voting for them.
(See Avatar)

[flks511]

St. Anger to Death Magnetic. Huge improvement, even if it was just because St. Anger was so bad.

[Goat01]

I love Sink or Swim. A lot.
I'd have to say Fall Out Boy, just because I didn't like Evening Out very much.

[makeshiftmind]

Sink Or Swim>59 Sound in my opinion, both great albums, just sayin...

[roche]

Silverstein's A shipwreck in the Sand is so much better than Arrivals and Departures

[purpleplatypus]

...whoops. I accidenly voted for MCR. Three Cheers is SO much better than Black Parade!

[Machu505]

Your Favourite Weapon --> Deja Entendu

[timba88]

Your Favorite Weapon to Deja, Static Prevails to Clarity, Bedroom Talk to Direction, Lights and Sounds to Paper Walls

[briewer]

Circa Suvive. Juturna<-- On Letting Go
Thursday. Waiting --> Full Collapse
Underoath - TOCS-->DTGL-->LITSOS
Fixed. Juturna was soooo much better than On Letting Go.

[doppelganger]

i picked say anything. i was lazy to think of other examples.

[I'm DC]

Baseball ruled.

[MattRM]

Obviously FOB, out of those choices.

Oh, and despite the fact that these albums are late in their career:
Less Than Jake - In With The Out Crowd --> GNV FLA

[Wait_For_It]

Fall Out Boy. Evening Out is terrible.

[xcarlupanddiex]

say anything for sure

IARB is a fucking amazing album

[holybuble]

deja------>devil and god

or

i am the movie------> committ this to memory

[DejaNew]

I'd have to say FOB made the biggest change out of the choices available, but Thrice had an even bigger one between The Illusion Of Safety and The Artist In The Ambulance. Valencia had a great improvement between their debut and their follow-up too.

[whataclush]

Relativity > This Is Your Way Out

[TangledUp]

Definitely Fall Out Boy, considering Take This To Your Grave is their best record. :-)

[voncorn]

Can't Slow Down ---> Through Being Cool

[IanIsSuperRad]

In With The Out Crows ----> GNV FLA

Less Than Jake came back from easily their shittiest album with a very good one.

[owiseone35]

Can't Slow Down ---> Through Being Cool

Or even Through Being Cool---------> Stay What You Are

I just feel like that is a bigger change of sound for them.

[phil19]

fob. evening is total crap, tttyg is classic

[Clark]

Brand New: Your Favorite Weapon --> Deja Entendu

I fucking love Your Favorite Weapon, but Deja Entendu is like a completely different band.

[Indoor Living]

Brand New: Your Favorite Weapon --> Deja Entendu

I fucking love Your Favorite Weapon, but Deja Entendu is like a completely different band.


Perfect way to put it.

[xrider105]

Umm... Blink had a record between Buddha and Dude Ranch. Cheshire Cat anyone? Newly recorded Carousel, M+M's, Peggy Sue, Wasting Time, etc.

[Clark]

Umm... Blink had a record between Buddha and Dude Ranch. Cheshire Cat anyone? Newly recorded Carousel, M+M's, Peggy Sue, Wasting Time, etc.
Yeah, and Buddha wasn't even released on CD until 1998. This poll is whack.

[jwicklun]

Fall Out Boy. Evening Out is full of shitty demos aside from Growing Up.

[Kobrakai09]

They're Only Chasing Safety -----> Define The Great Line

[xBrandNew]

definitely fob. evening out was awful, tttyg is amazingg.
black parade is worse than 3cheers?

[istealmusic]

They're Only Chasing Safety -----> Define The Great Line


That would've been great for the poll, I would've voted for that.

[istealmusic]

and Grave was way better than evening,

[seraph1214]

FOB. Evening was so fucking abysmal.

[radxbandit]

it's hard to be objective about this.

i would say my chem, no question. that last record ambitious as fuck, and turned out really well.

[Curtis&BemisRok]

Definitely Say Anything. Baseball is an okay punk album. Is A Real Boy is lyrically and musically genius. It is the largest jump any band has ever taken between albums

[MorningStar10]

I still think Sink and Swim is better than 59 sound.
Best improvement for me would be The Dangerous Summer atm as i really couldnt get into IOYCKMA but Reach For the Sun is by Album of the year so far.

[rickmo]

kings of leon

because of the times - -> only by night

[Radiology]

Radiohead (Pablo Honey-->The Bends). Really the only correct answer, seeing as Pablo Honey sucked far worse than almost all of the 'previous' albums on here and The Bends is much better than all of the 'improved' records.

This. This. This.

[AussieBoy]

Def Say Anything. And Three Cheers was so much better than Black Parade

yeah i liked both so wouldnt say improvement as well, person was better off saying 3 cheers and that shit album before it with the vampire song

voted for FOB cause Evening is atrocious!

[AussieBoy]

other as well: NFG nothing gold ---------> self titled

[Theseventhson]

yeah i liked both so wouldnt say improvement as well, person was better off saying 3 cheers and that shit album before it with the vampire song
Bullets is a good album...

[crypticv24]

House Of Heroes: Say No More --> The End Is Not The End
Alkaline Trio: Maybe I'll Catch Fire --> From Here To Infirmary

[J Me]

Say Anything by far. Is a Real Boy shits all over Baseball. production-wise, lyric-wise, and music-wise

[notoaststereo]

Fob

[notoaststereo]

Foo Fighters: Self Titled ---> The Color and the Shape

Jimmy Eat World: Static Prevails ---> Clarity

Cursive: Such Blinding Star and Songs of Early Summer ---> Domestica

[Sic Transit Zeb]

I have to say Fall Out Boy just because Evening was really shitty.

It really was. Patrick has improved his vocals so much. TTYG is amazing.



I'd say the TBS-TAYF was a big improvement too and YFW-Deja was big for Brand New. But I like their early albums much better than I like evening.

[boringusername]

Underoath

The Changing Of Times ----> They're Only Chasing Safety

[TangledUp]

FOB. Evening was so fucking abysmal.
This.

I love when people say Evening was their favorite FOB album. They clearly are full of shit.

[jawstheme]

Radiohead (Pablo Honey-->The Bends). Really the only correct answer, seeing as Pablo Honey sucked far worse than almost all of the 'previous' albums on here and The Bends is much better than all of the 'improved' records.

Agreed. Other answers better than the options given:
On Avery Island to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is pretty impressive.
Give Em Enough Rope to London Calling
Origin of Symmetry to Absolution
Waiting to Full Collapse
YFW to Deja

[I am Mick]

Say Anything. Baseball is fucking terrible

[You Won't Know]

I'd have to say FOB made the biggest change out of the choices available, but Thrice had an even bigger one between The Illusion Of Safety and The Artist In The Ambulance. Valencia had a great improvement between their debut and their follow-up too.

TAITA is more metal and a great record, but I still think Illusion is fantastic.

[Yellowcard2006]

deja------>devil and god

or

i am the movie------> committ this to memory

Both of those albums are amazing...


I said FOB

[yellowhouse]

Radiohead (Pablo Honey-->The Bends). Really the only correct answer, seeing as Pablo Honey sucked far worse than almost all of the 'previous' albums on here and The Bends is much better than all of the 'improved' records.

It's so true.

[yellowhouse]

This.

I love when people say Evening was their favorite FOB album. They clearly are full of shit.

Yeah, clearly they must be full of shit. It's not possible that they might just like that album alot.

[Jet Set Paul]

A Fever You Can't Sweat Out--->Pretty. Odd.

[tommyhaych]

I'd put Moneen on there indefinitely.
