Post artists that started out strong in the beginning of their career, had a lull, then came back strong later on
almost all of them? too many to name.
Arguably Paradise Lost but I even like their mid-period stuff.
What even happened after Let's Dance? And arguably during Let's Dance.

Aerosmith. First was a bad ass rock band in the 70's, then both guitarists leave the band in the late 70s/early 80s, get band back together in 85, put out a decent album that flopped big time, make a mainstream record in 87, and BAM. Back in the spotlight
Bathory.
>>72330492
Weezer
Sonic Youth
Death Grips
Captain Beefheart
David Bowie

>almost all of them
Nah, most never come out of decline, or at least reach the heights of their earlier, most acclaimed work.
>>72330492
Pearl Jam maybe?
Ten, Vs, and Vitalogy were amazing.
No Code was great
Yield, Binural, and Riot Act were mediocre
Self Titled was amazing and easily as good as their first three albums
Then Backspacer and Lighting Bolt fucking sucked.

>he has swallowed the Ved-pill
nice
Deth Grip
>>72330560
Came here to say exactly this Lel
I still like Host though
>>72330492
Mos Def
BlackStar and BOBS
then The New Danger and True Magic
and then came back with The Ecstatic
>>72330754
Yeah I guess
>>72330754
I agree
Why does /mu/ not like pearl jam again?
>>72332795
contrarianism
John Cale is the obvious answer here
he had a period in the 80s that was basically lost to heroin and other drugs, and he came back strong recently. love him.
>>72330492
>Metallica
>>72332980
>>Metallica
their recent albums are a pale imitation of their 80s glory days. i'd normally agree with you but they're just copying themselves
obvious answer
>>72330611
>Sonic Youth
ummm but mid period sy (WM, ATL) is their best
Animal Collective
They weren't really that bad but it seemed like they didn't know what they were doing in 2012-2015
>>72334335
Painting With is their worst release
>>72330569
Mainstream success
>>72332727

Leonard Cohen
Napalm death.
>>72336480
Tru
Radiohead
>>72336508
Where was their lull?
>>72330754
Nope. No Code is unfocused while Yield is a masterpiece. Backspacer was weird, but you cant tell that it sucked because it didnt
>>72332980
see
>>72333013
OP said "came back strong later on"
Lulu was a step in the right direction, But Death Magnetic and Hardwired are attempts at cloning ... And justice for all
Swans duh
>>72338291
came here to post this
Dinosaur Jr
The Fall
>>72330569
Commercial Mediocrity
>>72336508
they started off weak then got better and stayed quite consistent
bad example
Green Day
>>72338291
children of god tho
also the new recreation isn't as good
Paul Simon
>>72332795
Because they inspired a generation of terrible copycats (see: Creed)
I love Pearl Jam tho. VS. was my highschool soundtrack

>>72334108
WM a shit!
Johnny Cash.
Kanye's on lull #2... odds on comeback #2?
Mozart.
>>72338136
When were they ever weak?
>>72343086
His last three albums have all been the best of the year they were released in.
Bummer you don't get Pablo yet. It's his best work.
Machine Head
Robb really must regret jumping on the nu-metal bandwagon
Iron Maiden
>>72343246
i like yeezus and MBDTF, but i find myself skipping more songs on TLOP. my expectations for him are really just higher than any other artist
>>72340683
>started off weak
Go 2 is pretty trash but White Music isn't bad for a debut.
>>72343267
if Machine would of stuck with their Burn My Eyes sound they would of been one of the best metal bands
