SP / Deftones / Trail of Dead
Smashing Pumpkins, Trail of Dead and the Deftones seem to be following the same pattern to their album releases / quality. I use these bands as an example, because really, their styles are all very similar.
Gish / Adrenaline / Debut - Each a good listen. Little, yellow, different. SD / Fur / Madonna - Typically the fan favorites. All three fantastic albums. MCIS / White Pony / Source Tags - The breakout albums. Typically critics' favorites, and for good reason. Adore / Self Titled / World's Apart - Fans enjoy all three, but the consensus is they much prefer the older albums. Machina / Saturday / So Divided - All three are Meh. Now we have Zeitgiest. K, wtf. Does this mean the next two releases for Deftones and Trail of Dead are going to suck as badly as this??? I think record companies force shitty album releases for some sinister reason. Thoughts? |

Trail of Dead doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as those bands, really

I think this is a real common archetype you can apply to hundreds of bands. The early stuff > the fan favorite > the popular record > all downhill from there. It's really very common.

Saturday Night Wrist is a great album. much better than Self Titled. Self Titled is so one-dimensional and harsh. Its hard for me to listen to all the way through. It's a very ugly album in my opinion. Saturday Night Wrist is a return to form.

This pattern works better with Queens of the Stone Age.
Self Titled - a good listen but not great as things to come Rated R - a big step up in quality / fan favorite Songs For The Deaf - breakout album / critics favorite Lullabies - a solid effort but fans prefer the older records Era Vulgaris - a not so great album / starting to fall off |

Rated R has to be the best rock album of this decade.

Although, Rats! and Mein are pretty sweet. But then Pink Cellphone fucking ruins everything, so there, Self Titled is better. |

Saturday Night Wrist is an absolutely phenomenal album. Cherry Waves is one of the best songs in Deftones' catalog.
And it's also much better than Zeitgeist, and I don't even think Zeitgeist is that bad. |

out of simple curiousity, can you explain why? because i thought the lyrics were insufferable, the songs themselves uninspired, and the record as a whole was just a complete and total misfire.

Hot Carling Academy. It's the school where you go to learn how to buttfuck. They don't have blowjobs there because they're uncircumcised and that is just disgusting. So they have to buttfuck, which is also disgusting because it traps all the germs, and the poop, and the buttfucking residue. that's from memory. i kind of like the tune if i just ignore the words. self-titled and snw are both awesome, if you ask me. |

That rant at the end of Pink Cellphone is great. One of my favorite moments on the album, actually.
