the difficult second Lp

Well worn story...band has years to hone their craft and make an amazing debut LP...then falters miserably..due to pressure, success, expectations. etc. There are always exceptions. Zep II, etc. Any train wreck sophomore efforts come to mind? Stone Roses, U2, VH all stumbled a bit on a follow up to a promising debut. On the flip side , any second LPs that really stand out?

Boston's "Don't Look Back" stood up pretty well after their 1st record masterpiece.

"Deadringer" crashed and burned after Bat out of Hell's debut.

Phasecorrect,
I agree with you on The Darkness,

Permission to Land......very promising.

One way ticket to Hell....."don't come" back :-)

However and IMHO, Use your Illusion I/II produced enough hits to pass by as a somewhat stand out effort. After that........nothing other than the ballad "Patience"!
