I think a lot of good bands have superior second albums because they don't have day jobs any more. A lot more time to practice, gig, and record.
I'm pretty sure I agree with the vast majority of these.

Has anyone mentioned White Zombie? Cause I love me some Astro Creep, don't really care for the first one.

Astro Creep is their 4th album, Make Them Die Slowly is their sophomore album. Though yes I like Astro Creep better than La Sexorcisto but.. no their first EP Gods on Voodoo Moon is my favorite

Don't think these have been mentioned yet, but I think these:

Darklands > Psychocandy

You're Living All Over Me > Dinosaur
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.

Regarding DA - I need to listen to Jouhou again. I love Ulterior! I like 'Ulterior' better than 'The Inalienable Dreamless'

Regarding GISM - Is stuff like this up your alley? TOTALLY UP MINE!!!

I just love how muddy and groovy 'Ulterior' is. DA is one of those bands you could throw a dart at any of their releases and say, "Yeah that's the favorite".

How do people feel (felt) about GRIDLINK? I was/am a huge fan!

Gridlink was the first of those bands for me. Longhena blew my dick square off from the first chord.
