Let’s discuss any and all music here. Got a new artist who’s rocking your boat that you want to talk about? Post a video! Found out about that unearthed Coltrane album that has the jazz freak in you losing your mind? Lay it out for us! Have a theory about what your favorite band might do for their next album? Let’s hear it! Anything and everything music-related goes here.

This week’s discussion prompt was suggested by The Avocado’s very own Pachylad:

Albums that are the “same but better” compared to the preceding album?

On the subrebbit where Pachy apparently came across this idea, this is described as “pair of albums that are sonically similar, but the succeeding album has better execution”, and the examples used were Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled album from 1975 and 1977’s Rumours. While both albums seem to be well regarded and are similar in many ways, the latter is widely considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time (well, by fans of the group and of the Buckingham-Nicks line-up in particular anyway). Not a big “Mac” head myself so feel free to agree or disagree, though based on the similarities between the two albums and the critical consensus, this seems to be a good example.

As always, any and all music-related posts are welcome. Have fun, and rock out with yr guac out!
