One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way.
And if you’re not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist’s work? Whatever works for you.
*Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.
Megadeth. Rust in Peace is a masterpiece. The rest of the albums are just boring.
I honestly don’t know why other bands are bothering to continue making music when Rust In Peace exists. It’s embarrassing.

Megadeth is just one of those bands where you’ll only like select tracks per album. But there’s almost no album of theirs that’s perfect from beginning to end.
