Boy's Night Out made the album Trainwreck, a concept album about a man having a night terror and strangling his wife to death and coping with her loss. It's fucking great.

You left off the best part that he "copes" by cutting off his hands afterwards. I love that album.

The Queen is Dead is the only Smiths album I like, the others just don't do it for me.

LEN - You can’t stop the bumrush
Other than the one pop song that got tons of radio play, it’s a great album. It’s still a great listen.
Every other album or song since then seems to be a weak grasp.
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Stone Temple Pilots both have controversial albums that illicit love or hate from their fans.

Train. Drops of Jupiter was, in my opinion, just perfect. Others after that were meh at best, trying to recapture the spark that DOJ was. I always figured it was when a band loses one of its member, things like this happen…

Morbid Angel Blessed Are The Sick. To me, they have never reached the peak of their second album. A was okay, too. But after B I would eagerly listen to C and D when they came out and just never felt the same enthusiasm as I did for B. I gave up and moved on even though I later went back and listened to F, G, and H, and F is interesting because it is so strange but I can’t really recall much about the other two. Never bothered with I, and that’s where my tale ends.
Bear with me on this one. Stadium Arcadian by the red hot chili peppers.
They've had other good albums before and after this one. But stadium Arcadian is so good everything else pales in comparison to such a degree that anything outside that album is trash.
I've never met a single person with that opinion. I remember being so disappointed when that album came out.
I have never met a single person in my life that supports Putin as president of Russia yet here we are.

Closure in Moscow, Pink Lemonade is an incredible album with such amazing style and intensity and I don't understand how it's the same band as some of their other things.

One of my favourite black metal albums is Rain Upon the Impure by The Ruins of Beverast. Nothing he's done before or since comes even close to the perfection of that album.
Remo Drive - Greatest Hits (which isn't a greatest hits album) definitely fits the description. It's extra sad since it's their debut album, so it falls into your sophomore slump category. I respect the decision to not repeat themselves though, but I can't help to feel like they would be able to make an album that both pleases the fans garnered from the first, and which isn't just a rehash.
wall of voodoo and fine young canibals but its not like they had huge discographys although I love stan ridgeways later solo stuff.
Other Tragically Hip albums have some standout tracks, but the only album of theirs I really enjoy beginning-to-end is Fully Completely.
Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers
I think the popularity of Stacy’s Mom really scared them. But everything on the album is amazing. Interstate Managers was their third album. The other two albums following Interstate Managers were good, but not at that power pop level that Interstate Managers reached.
The album Colours from Graffiti6 was so good, I'm still mad about the crap album they released after that (it was also their last)...
And to a lesser extend, Miike Snow's first album was sooo good. Everything they've put out after that was mediocre at best.
Alt-J has also been going down hill ever since the first album. It's still decent, but if I had to rate the albums from good to bad, it would be equal to the release order. Saw them live two years ago and it was meh as well.

Kiko by Los Lobos is a masterpiece, to me. The rest of their albums are hit or miss, with The Town and the City being their 2nd best, but nowhere near as good as Kiko.
Ryan's Hope - Apocalypse in Increments. It's from 2006 but I didn't discover it until around 2012, by which point they'd already rebranded as The Reaganomics and adopted a more pop-punk sound that didn't resonate with me.
