rghammo Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 What bands had long delays between their first and second albums? The Stone Roses are the first example that comes to my mind of a band having a "hit" with the first album ('89) and then taking forever to release the second ('94). I guess a better example would be Vashti Bunyan ('70 to '05) but I really have in mind bands/artists where the first album had some measure of success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Wasn't the reason that it took so long for the Stone Roses to release that second album because of legal issues with their record label? Anyway, Mission of Burma took like 18 years off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 huh? Key Lime was like their 5th or 6th record wasn't it?At least... um, camper had already released like 2 or 3 albums by 1989More than that....Key Lime was their second major label though if memory serves me... They had already cranked out at least four albums on small labels. (edit Wikopedia says yes...) LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HighFives Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 joking? I hope not red rash is ill. Gary Wilson took 27 years off between You Think You Really Know Me and Mary Had Brown Hair. He released a few singles too but nothing happened at all with him between 1980 and 2004. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I am still waiting for Arcade Fire's 2nd. Unless you count the EP, which I dont. Although maybe I should. I'll let solace be the final arbiter on that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tandylacker Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Wallflowers came out with their second CD almost 5 years after their first and obviously most successful CD. Weezer took 5 years between CD 2 and 3 then they started shitting out CDs every 1 to 2 years. Third Eye Blind waited a solid 4 to 5 years between 2nd and 3rd CD. Postal Service, indefinitely. Point though is that all these bands kept a real solid fan base. Don't know what Wilco fans would think if they waited 5 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alisa Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Wallflowers came out with their second CD almost 5 years after their first and obviously most successful CD.Your referring to the gap Bringing Down the Horse and Breach right?BDTH was actually their second album and Breach their third. They released their first self titled on Virgin records and the other 4 records on Interscoope.The Wallflowers was released in 1992Bringing Down the Horse was released in 1996 five years later and was their breakout cd with 6th Avenue and One HeadlightBreach the third album was released in 2000 Due to the first cd being on a different label and was under a different contact it had a lesser print and almost no publicity. There is a video or two out for the singles directed by Jakob brother Jessie Dylan (who also directed American Pie 3). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgriff Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 The Wrens took 7 seven years to release The Meadowlands in 2003....which is a near perfect album in my opinion. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/reco...The_Meadowlands The Meadowlands - 2003Secaucus - 1996 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
