Great Second Albums.
Posted by: Quad 33 on 21 June 2013
Reminded of great second albums by this one. What's yours?
Graham.
Here are two 'second' albums from my Blue Horizon collection. 'Mr Wonderful', so good. Chicken Shack 'OK Ken?' is a great LP although some will find Stan Webb's imitations of Harold Wilson and the like a bit dated now. On a recent CD release these were omitted but having lived in that era I find them quite nostalgic. Two great album covers lost in CD or download format.
Two superb cover designs.
Hi tonym.
Total understand your review on the Eno album. My brother in law gave me his copy for that very reason he thought it was rubbish too. I just think as a second album it his better than his first but maybe not his best. I will leave that another thread.
Regards Graham.
Interesting view point Grahem.
I have most of eno's albums and i think here comes the warm jets is one of his best.
His early work is far superior to the newer stuff IMO
Sheer unadulterated timeless classic........
Coincidentally, just finished listening to this with my 13-year-old daughter, who proclaimed it "awesome ... this is so good!" which made my heart glad.
This album, to me, is perhaps the greatest "sophomore" effort of all-time, and most definitely (again, to me) The Band's masterpiece.
Another example of a band peaking with its 2nd album (IMO, of course).

She is clearly a young lady with impeccable taste!

Indeed she is!
Little Feat - Sailin' Shoes
+ 1000
It might be the greatest second album ever; but I can't get past the appalling cover, or the anti-grammatical "clever" band name.
But the band name itself isn't "anti-grammatical," punning album title aside.
No, I suppose not. A "Little Feat" is something like tying your shoelaces, whereas a "Big Feat" is something like curing polio. It doesn't have to be about shoe size.
It's just a band name. Little Feet, slightly modified. Just like The Beatles, Led Zepellin and Megadeth.
Go on press the white triangle, you know you want too.
Superb greatness from this second album : )

The band was named after Lowell George's small feet.
