The third album has long been seen as a difficult hurdle for a band/artist to successfully clear. Usually having been together for years before recording a debut and therefore have enough material to fill the first couple with tried and tested, great songs. When it comes to record number three, the well is often dry. The following is ten examples of a big middle finger to the dreaded, “third album curse”.
There already exists a million articles in cyberspace on such wonderful third albums like ‘III’ by Led Zeppelin, ‘Master Of Puppets’ by Metallica, ‘Reign In Blood’ by Slayer, ‘Ok Computer’ by Radiohead etc, so please appreciate my slight deviation from the usual suspects. Maybe you will discover something new with the selections I have made. Also, please feel free to comment and leave suggestions of your own, I welcome your opinions and, I will maybe gain some musical education too.
