Best Musical Progression From Last Album

[zubinvein]

Which artist put out an awesome record that topped their previous effort?

best progression: AFI decemberunderground ->crash love
worst: brand new TDAG -> Daisy

before the flaming starts, im not saying daisy is a bad record, its just not a progression for BN. More like a lateral move musically and a step back lyrically.

Crash Love is awesome.

[IWasaCamera]

In recent years, The National. No question.

[asthenia*]

blink from TOYPAJ --> self titled.
amazing. probably the best progression of a band i've ever heard

[bNz719]

best: blessthefall's His Last Walk -> Witness
worst: Breaking Benjamin's all of their albums -> Dear Agony (this band has made no progression ever) lol.

edit: mine is for 2009 only.

[IWasaCamera]

Wow.

I can't get over this post...It's probably the worst one ever made.

[oddwithoutend]

Daisy isn't the worst musical progression in recent years. It simply doesn't fall into the average AP user's tastes. Surely, this site does not show an accurate representation of its reception.

[Nick Le]

As Cities Burn Son, I Loved You at Your Darkets -> Come Now Sleep -> Hell or High Water.
Amazing.

I loved Relient K's progression from Five Score -> Nashville Tennis EP -> Forget and Not Slow Down as well as Thrice's Alchemy Index -> Beggars.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

Best

Brand new YFW-Deja

Worst?

Can you really progress to the worst? Seems to be an oxymoron to me.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

I don't get all the hate, really. Daisy is really good.

[Rawrr]

This whole thread is amazing.

[meroki22]

In recent years, The National. No question.

This

I didn't get why everyone was going nuts over them at first because I only had Alligator, which is in no way a bad record, just not incredible. Then I got Boxer....WOW. Amazing.

I would also say that Fallout Boy from IOH to Folie a Deux was pretty impressive. Hadn't listened to them in years before that record. Now I'm gonna go check outside my window if pigs are flying because I discussed The National and FOB in the same post.

[summer skin]

apparently no one in this thread has heard of a little band called the Beatles...

[meroki22]

apparently no one in this thread has heard of a little band called the Beatles...

Did they open for Blink this summer?

[Rawrr]

Worst progression has to be from Modest Mouse. They're my favorite band, but even I can't stand some of the shit on We Were Dead..

[summer skin]

Did they open for Blink this summer?
The beatles don't play prog rock so I doubt they'd fit on that bill.

[PopPunkKid]

I can't get over this post...It's probably the worst one ever made.


...How? I think many people (including myself) would definelty agree that self-titled >>> TOYPAJ.

[kearn1tm]

Fall Out Boy.

They sounded so different on Pet Sounds, but when they made In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, I was floored.

[summer skin]

He said it was the greatest progression of a band EVER. All they did was play some slow songs and throw in some electronic loops. They're fucking PIONEERS

okay? how so

[meroki22]

...How? I think many people (including myself) would definelty agree that self-titled >>> TOYPAJ.

The self titled is the better record, but if that's the greatest progression you've ever heard you should probably look for music somewhere other than AP.net.

[McIrish]

...How? I think many people (including myself) would definelty agree that self-titled >>> TOYPAJ.

Agree, you can't sing about teenage life when your in your thirties. Self titled = my favorite album.

[summer skin]

okay? how so

blink from TOYPAJ --> self titled.

If you're thinking about it, you should probably just do it.

[Rawrr]

The best musical progression of all time, Blink-182, the best, ever.


Ever.

[PopPunkKid]

Weezer: The Blue Album ---> Pinkerton (I love both albums, but Pinkerton was such a risk, and they pulled it off so well that it ended up being arguably even better than Blue.)
Panic! At The Disco: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out ---> Pretty.Odd. (regardless of what your opinion of PO is, you have to admit it was a ballsy move. Personally, I can't possibly understand how anyone could prefer AFYCSO over PO)
blink-182: TOYPAJ ---> self-titled (TOYPAJ is a good album, but it really didn't show much progression from Enema. Self-titled is, imo, blink's best.)
My Chemical Romance: TCFSR ---> The Black Parade (MCR is alot like Panic for me, in that I thought their breakthrough album was good but not spectacular, but I fell in love with the album that followed it.)
The Format: Interventions & Lullabies ---> Dog Problems (Probably the best one, actually. The Format went from being an above average pop-rock band to releasing one of the best and most overlooked pop albums of the past decade.)
Green Day: Insomniac ---> Nimrod (Alot of people would say Warning was the start of Green Day experimenting with their music, but I would disagree. Nimrod sees GD dipping into so many different genres and styles, and they pull all of them off successfully, too.)
Relient K: Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, But Three Do ---> Mmmhmm (Very similar to the move blink made, Relient K matured, realized their strengths, and got even better at them.)

[meroki22]

The potential for pretentious music snobbery in this thread is immense. I can't wait...

[hvolgarino08]

RIGHT ON!

It blew my mind, I never thought that pop punk songs could be played slightly slower, this shattered my perception of all that I had known to be true or right in the world. I came blood for days.

As Cities Burn Son, I Loved You at Your Darkets -> Come Now Sleep -> Hell or High Water.
Amazing.

I loved Relient K's progression from Five Score -> Nashville Tennis EP -> Forget and Not Slow Down as well as Thrice's Alchemy Index -> Beggars.

yes yes yes

[cacophonous]

Worst progression: when Weezer went from a few years of not making music to making "Beverly Hills."

[SweetThye]

Relient K: Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, But Three Do ---> Mmmhmm (Very similar to the move blink made, Relient K matured, realized their strengths, and got even better at them.)

This was a pretty huge one for me. When I first heard Mmmmhmmm I asked myself, "Is this really Relient K?" The band had matured so much and it was amazing. The sound of that record was so new and different for the band and it had a more serious tone. One of my favorite albums of all time and definitely my favorite by them.

[nerdvglc]

at least recently i'm a huge fan of the progress made going from five score to forget and not slow down by relient k.

sugar ray seems to have forgotten what to do when making an album.

and aiden... well they just keep trying, don't they?

[ReadyForAction]

I dont think I've ever found a thread so funny

[crimsonandclovr]

For this year you mean? Relient K's Forget and Not Slow Down. Definitely a step up from the last one.

[SSLYBY]

I have no idea how people regard Blink 182 - Untitled so high. I can't even listen to it.

[Durden, T.]

I have no idea how people regard Blink 182 - Untitled so high. I can't even listen to it.

Because every song doesn't sound the same.

[friskycurtain]

Relient K: Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, But Three Do ---> Mmmhmm
NFG: Self-Titled ----> Sticks and Stones

[oddwithoutend]

Bedouin Soundclash, The National, and Iron and Wine are a few bands I listen to whose progressions have been quite enjoyable.

[SSLYBY]

Because every song doesn't sound the same.

Every song on that CD is similar.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I think a good one would be Gatsbys American Dream: Why We Fight ----> Ribbons And Sugar. they went from a messy pop-punk album to a technical, complex, yet very catchy concept album based on George Orwell's Animal Farm

[Durden, T.]

Every song on that CD is similar.

Obvious doesn't sound remotely similar to All of This, so I have no clue what you're talking about.

[kbi the crowing]

The sound of animals fighting from Lover to Ocean and the Sun was one of the bests in my opinion
mewithoutYou from brother, sister to its all crazy! was prolly my least favorite

[Croggs]

I made a poll about this nonsense once. I forget the winner, but I voted for The Gaslight Anthem Sink or Swim --> the 59 Sound

[Croggs]

Relient K: Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, But Three Do ---> Mmmhmm
NFG: Self-Titled ----> Sticks and Stones

Pop-punk cd's to slightly catchier pop-punk cds?

[NaiveMelody]

Although I would consider both albums a 10...stylistically the jump that Radiohead made from Ok Computer to Kid A was pretty sweet.

[Nick Le]

Relient K: Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, But Three Do ---> Mmmhmm (Very similar to the move blink made, Relient K matured, realized their strengths, and got even better at them.)

The sound of that record was so new and different for the band and it had a more serious tone. One of my favorite albums of all time and definitely my favorite by them.

That's definitely a great one too. I heard mmhmm first, and got into music because of that album. But shortly after, I revisited their old material, they've improved so much. I was amazed at the maturation between the two albums.

[NateFoundGlory]

I think a good one would be Gatsbys American Dream: Why We Fight ----> Ribbons And Sugar. they went from a messy pop-punk album to a technical, complex, yet very catchy concept album based on George Orwell's Animal Farm

...that really intrigues me. I'll have to check that out.

[Wedge]

Ramones S/T --------> Ramones Leave Home

[Smeee]

The Classic Crime. Albatross > The Silver Cord.

Obviously not the best ever but it came to mind as a great progression.

[Baby for Pree]

Least favorite: Cloud Cult - The Meaning of 8 > Feel Good Ghosts

Favorite: Elliott Smith - Self/Titled > Either/Or (Yeah, yeah, yeah not a huge progression but he added more drums and electric guitars so it's... yeah, fuck you)

[mmmmmpoetry]

Least favorite: Cloud Cult - The Meaning of 8 > Feel Good Ghosts

Favorite: Elliott Smith - Self/Titled > Either/Or (Yeah, yeah, yeah not a huge progression but he added more drums and electric guitars so it's... yeah, fuck you)

I think Elliott got better with every album he put out.
Also, the ACB progression is pretty well put together, I'd agree.
It's not the worst but I was really disappointed with new mewithoutYou effort compared to how amazing Brother, Sister was.

[sleepyseanzzz]

i likes this will be the death of us more than mutiny

[sargentlgfuad]

Of the Year:
Favorite: Silversun Pickups: Carnavas -> Swoon
Kevin Devine: everything before -> Brother's Blood

[Yellowcard2006]

Jimmy Eat World

S/T--> Static Prevails --> Clarity

Bayside

S/T --> The Walking Wounded

[PopPunkKid]

Every song on that CD is similar.


If you really believe "Stockholm Syndrome" sounds like "I Miss You" , "Down" sounds like "All of This", "Obvious" sounds like "Always", or "Go" sounds like "I'm Lost Without You", then there's something wrong there.

[KingsCrossing]

Kevin Devine: everything before -> Brother's Blood

This.

I'm quite partial to figure 8 myself, but they're all good nevertheless.

Worst: Grizzly Bear: Yellow House------>Veckatimest
What's so bad about Veckatimest? I like it. Not as much as Yellow House, but I still enjoy it quite a bit.

[roughroads]

Follie a Duex is only a progression because infinity on high was terrible, Follie a Deux is better but then again it'd be hard to be worse.
ADTR's Old Record< For those who have heart = Homesick
Motion City Soundtrack's I am the Movie < Commit This to Memory
All Time Lows's Put up or Shut up > So Wrong its Right > Nothing Personal.... They've been getting steadily worse
Valencia's This Could Be a Possibility < We all Need A Reason To Believe
Zebrahead's Broadcast to the World > Pheonix
Alexisonfire's Watch Out! < Crisis
August Burns Red's Messengers < Thrill Seaker
Underoath's The Changing Of Times < They're Only Chasing Safety
Catch 22's Keasbey Nights > Alone in a Crowd
Taking Back Sunday's Tell All Your Friends < Where you want be< Louder Now <<<<< New Again(aka biggest disappointment of the year)

[lonelysuperstar]

Every Thrice album put out has been a progression. But I think my favourite would be Artist in the Ambulance --> Vheissu.

[LastDeclaration]

Maybe it's too obvious to even need mentioning, but Deja --> TDAG.

Worst: The Used --> all their other albums; they do an admirable job of getting slightly shittier with each release.

best progression: AFI decemberunderground ->crash love
worst: brand new TDAG -> Daisy

before the flaming starts, im not saying daisy is a bad record, its just not a progression for BN. More like a lateral move musically and a step back lyrically.

Crash Love is awesome.

I am.

(Great... We totally needed another thread to talk about how much Daisy sucks.)

Wow.

Are threads like this why you stopped posting here for a while?

Daisy isn't the worst musical progression in recent years. It simply doesn't fall into the average AP user's tastes. Surely, this site does not show an accurate representation of its reception.

It's not outside of my musical tastes, and I think it's a poor record. The weekend is almost here, so hopefully I'll be able to write my thoughts out sometime soon.

It blew my mind, I never thought that pop punk songs could be played slightly slower, this shattered my perception of all that I had known to be true or right in the world. I came blood for days.

I still like OK Computer more. :shrug:

[syntax omitted]

Consider the Thief
Soldiers and Saints EP ---> Signs and Wonders

Forgive Durden
Wonderland ---> Razia's Shadow: A Musical

Fear Before
Art Damage ---> The Always Open Mouth

I sorta disliked Moving Mountain's from Pneuma to Foreward. Pnuema was just so incredibly unique and it changed my life. Foreward was very disappointing imo. Also Facing New York's "progression" (and I use that term VERRRRY lightly) from the self titled to Get Hot made me sad to see such potential go to waste :-(

[theguy77]

OK computer --> Kid A.

yup. hahaha

[SophGod]

GOOD
Thursday - A City By The Light Divided to Common Existence. and i love ACBTLD
Brand New - Deja to DAG. obvious.
AFI - DU to Crash Love
Less Than Jake - In With The Out Crowd to GNV FLA
Emery - I'm Only A Man to ...In Shallow Seas We Sail
The Classic Crime - Albatross to The Silver Cord


BAD
Alkaline Trio - Crimson to Agony & Irony
Atreyu - A Deathgrip on Yesterday to Lead Sail Paper Anchor
Fall Of Tory - Manipulator to In The Unlikely Event


that's all i've got for now.

[bernie16wb]

Worst progression Brand New YFW to Devil and God

I was about ten seconds away from hitting a girl at a Brand New show who yelled "seventy times seven" "fucking seventy times fucking seven", etc during every break/quiet part in a song.

[cappslock]

Underoath - They're Only Chasing Safety to Define the Great Line
Relient K - Two Lefts... to Mmhmm
Blink-182 - TOYPAJ to U/T

First off, since when did ABR go back in time and release Messengers before Thrill Seeker? Also regarding Underoath, not even close on that one.

[jettison]

It wouldn't be that hard, and you would never feel pain again.
I think you are taking this a little too far.

[ThePartialGlow]

I hate to even chime in on all the pop-punk love, but:

In 1964, the Beatles released Beatles for Sale. In 1967, the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The progression from Beatles for Sale to Help! to Rubber Soul (which inspired Pet Sounds ) to Revolver to Sgt. Pepper's in just 3 years is astounding and is a historical moment in music.

I don't get all the hate, really. Daisy is really good.

this.

Worst progression has to be from Modest Mouse. They're my favorite band, but even I can't stand some of the shit on We Were Dead..

as stated previously, one can not "progress" backwards. oxymoron.

with that being stated, i chose My American Heart: "Meaning In The Makeup" ---> "Hiding Inside The Horrible Weather"

[summer skin]

did you really get 12,000 posts with stupid shit like this?
How did you go 1,700 posts without me realizing how CUTE you are?!!

[Auals]

blink from TOYPAJ --> self titled.
amazing. probably the best progression of a band i've ever heard

Dude I want whatever you're smoking. That progression is the obvious step, nothing special. A better one would be Dude Ranch -> Enema of the state. Which actually shows some change. Or Enema to TOYPAJ.

Fear Before The Always Open Mouth < Fear Before


I haven't listened to all of Fear Before but I find it hard to believe they made something better than The Always Open Mouth
I suppose I should buy it and find out, eh?

[lolliot]

Apart from already mentioned The National, which I would put on top of my list, I have a couple of other mentions, all organzied alphabetically by band name for your convenience:

Band of Horses: Everything All The Time --> Cease To Begin
-- The first album had a couple of songs that did anything for me, but I found Cease To Begin to be a great album on the whole.

Beirut: Gulag Orkestar --> The Flying Club Cup
-- Both are amazing albums, but to make something as different from Gulag in terms of sound and feel and still be equally great is progression for sure.

Franz Ferdinand: You Could Have It So Much Better --> Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
-- Highly subjective this one, but I didn't really like their second whereas their third sat really well with me.

The Hives: Barely Legal --> Veni, Vidi, Vicious
-- Their debut album was "meh", sophomore was great. One of my all time favourites in the genre.

Pink Floyd: Pre-Dark Side of the Moon albums --> Dark Side of the Moon
-- I just can't get myself to appreciate the stuff they made before Dark Side of the Moon, but that and Wish You Were Here? Words are redundant, just listen.

Tom McRae: S/T --> Just Like Blood
-- The first is OK, Just Like Blood is fantastic.

i'll admit that dude ranch to enema is a great progression.
i just don't understand how anyone can think enema to TOYPAJ is a progression at all.
its more of the same
and self titled is not obvious, they actually experiment a lot (see time signatures, song structures)
the only obvious track on that album is here's your letter and maybe go

[xJesusFreakx]

Yes... hmm

You seem to be moderately disappointed.

Worst progression Brand New YFW to Devil and God
PLAY SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN ******

yeah, right. dickhead..

[xXxXx]

JEW - Futures --> CTL = the worst fucking progression ever! CTL sucks!!!

i respectfully disagree. the fact that tom wrote more than half the songs shows that their song writing process was changing - if you've seen an of the videos that they took when they were recording you would know that they approached writing differently. also the underlying influences on that album were much different from toypaj - always has an 80s sound (which the band went out of their way to acknowledge), asthenia and i'm lost without you (which in my opinion is the worst last song on any blink record) hinted at the sound that tom would later bring to angels and airwaves (though less successfully I would argue). also there are no joke songs on that record/no funny lyrics. there are loads of examples of how they changed what they were doing and in my opinion, did so quite successfully, these are just a few

feel the same way. it was a progression to another band almost, it was so incredibly ballsy.

i also love Regina Spektors progression from Begin to Hope to Far. not the best i've ever seen, but amazing nonetheless.

Follie a Duex is only a progression because infinity on high was terrible, Follie a Deux is better but then again it'd be hard to be worse.
ADTR's Old Record< For those who have heart = Homesick
Motion City Soundtrack's I am the Movie < Commit This to Memory
