What Came Next... Ghost "Skeletá"

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0300

Ghost is one of those rare Modern Rock bands that has increased in popularity over the last few years, selling out stadiums and frequently debuting in the upper realm of the album charts. Not a mean feat as that is usually relegated to pop acts, with rock having become a thing of the past. With their faux occult stylings and extensive comic lore, Ghost have managed to gain fans of all ages despite heavy gatekeeping in the metal community. 2022's Impera truly broke them into the mainstream, and Skeletá, released in 2025, is keeping them there. However, the more pop they become, the less leader Tobias Forge seems to be delving into his own creativity.

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

After five albums within the span of two and a half years, Creedence Clearwater Revival was starting to have some issues. John Fogerty was the songwriter, lead guitarist, lead singer and producer for all of their material, and by Pendulum, their second album for 1970, that was wearing him down. Combine that with the rest of the band getting jealous of his frontman status and the cracks began to show.

What Came Next...John Fogerty "Eye of the Zombie"

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400

After a decade absent John Fogerty returned to the spotlight with the hit album Centerfield in 1985, only to be promptly sued by his old label boss Saul Zaentz for plagiarizing himself. Fogerty won, but legal costs and the desire to remain in the spotlight meant a second album had to come out fast. That album was 1986's Eye of the Zombie, which saw Fogerty embracing the synths and drum machines of the mid-1980s with predictably disappointing results.

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Pop Will Eat Itself elevated themselves above their grebo roots with 1989's This Is the Hour... This Is the Day... This Is This!. Combining hip-hop, punk rock and alternative rock with sampling and experimentation, the album was one of the best of the 1980s. Somehow, they managed the same feat with the follow-up, Cure for Sanity, in 1990 while embracing the club culture of the time.

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400

After departing Yes during the sessions for the follow-up to 1978's Tormato, Jon Anderson took his songs with him. They formed the backbone of his second solo album, Song of Seven, in 1980. The album is a hodgepodge of different styles, ranging from the folksy stuff he wanted to do with Yes to more progressive music. Unfortunately, it doesn't make for a satisfying follow-up to Olias of Sunhillow.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood were declared to be the new Beatles, blasting out of Liverpool and taking the British music scene by storm in 1984 and the U.S. by drizzle in 1985. However, band in-fighting, conflicts with their record company and a general disinterest on the behalf of their lead singer delayed the release of a follow-up to 1985's Welcome to the PleasureDome. When it did arrive, the attention of the record-buying public had gone elsewhere.

After the success of 1973's We're an American Band Grand Funk Railroad (or simply Grand Funk) maintained producer Todd Rundgren for their 1974 album Shinin' On. Although it gave them another number one song with their cover of "The Loco-Motion," it didn't measure up in quality to the predecessor. The signs of the upcoming burnout were there but they still managed to produce a decent album.

It gave them a top-40 hit with "Moneytalks" and revitalized their flagging career. It was a while before the next album came out and, when it did in 1995, Ballbreaker sounded like it came from a band and singer that were worn out.

What Came Next... Gin Blossoms: Congratulations I’m Sorry

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Gin Blossoms scored a surprise hit with their second album New Miserable Experience. However, that success was bittersweet. Most of the songs were written by Doug Hopkins who was fired from the band while making the album due to his increased unreliability due to his alcoholism. A&M Records made things worse by making him sign over his royalties despite the fact he played on the majority of the release. Hopkins committed suicide in 1993 so, despite a top 10 hit from the soundtrack to Empire Records, it was a while before another Gin Blossoms album came out. When it did the title pretty much said it all.

It took a number of years before the proper follow-up, Us, was released in 1992. By then things had changed but, in many ways, Gabriel had not.

What Came Next...Guns n' Roses "Use Your Illusion I & II"

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0300

After the runaway hit that was Appetite for Destruction, Guns n' Roses kept themselves both on the chart and as the targets of controversy with the stop-gap G n' R Lies in 1988. The real album to follow their smash debut was actually two: Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, released on September 17, 1991 at midnight. With over four standard albums' worth of music the band remained radio staples throughout the early 1990s. However, the sheer volume was both welcome and overwhelming.

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The death of Randy Rhoads during the tour for Diary of a Madman was a severe blow to Ozzy Osbourne, especially after the success of that album. Jack Blades replaced Rhoads on guitar for the live recording, Speak of the Devil, but it was Jake E. Lee that was brought in to be a permanent part of Ozzy's band for Bark at the Moon. However, behind the scenes, there was always Sharon, making sure her husband got all the credit and the band that did the heavy lifting got shafted. Despite this, the album still manage to do well and added a pop sheen to Ozzy's image.

Progressive rock music had dwindled in popularity as the '70s came to a close. Still, Asia was able to score a major hit with "Heat of the Moment" from their 1982 debut album Asia. Their record label wanted more and wanted in quick and the result was 1983's Alpha, where the band tried to copy the hitmaking formula, but failed at making as engaging an album as their first.

What Came Next...Buggles "Adventures in Modern Recording"

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Although only a minor hit in the U.S., "Video Killed the Radio Star" topped the charts in a number of countries, and Buggles' 1979 The Age of Plastic became a hit in many countries. It was popular enough that Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, the two main members of the band, were asked to join Yes for their Drama album in 1980. When Yes broke up the plan was to make another Buggles album, only Downes got recruited into Asia. Horn went ahead anyway, using demos and new songs, to create the second, and last album by the band.

What Came Next..."Weird Al" Yankovic "Polka Party!"

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Although he was already popular with fans of Dr. Demento, "Weird Al" Yankovic scored a top-40 hit with "Eat It" in 1984 from the album In 3-D, and followed it up with one of the best comedy albums ever in Dare to Be Stupid. It seemed that a "Weird Al" parody was just the thing an artist needed to be relevant. Or, that was what his label Scotti Bros. thought. Instead of letting him do what he does best, they started making suggestions. Combine that with a year that didn't produce the greatest pop songs and we get the first dud from the master of parody, Polka Party!.

What Came Next...Billy Joel "52nd Street"

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The Stranger was the album that, after a decade of setbacks, finally made Billy Joel a success. It was no surprise it's follow-up, 1978's 52nd Street, debuted at number one. The sound was a bit jazzier - it was named after the street that hosted a number of famous jazz clubs - and it still produced a number of hits. It would, however, find itself in thrift store bins within a few years of its release, and ultimately sell a bit less than its predecessor.

What Came Next...Bruce Springsteen "Darkness on the Edge of Town"

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Born to Run made Bruce Springsteen a star, but he had a major problem with manager and producer Mike Appel. Appel wanted to control how Springsteen's career went while the Boss thought he should definitely be the boss. It came to legal blows, delaying the recording and release of a new album for three years. When Darkness on the Edge of Town was released in 1978 it had a darker tone than its predecessors and a more focused lyrical style. At first a critical and commercial disappointment, it is now considered one of his best albums.

What Came Next...Thompson Twins "Here's to Future Days"

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Thompson Twins combined intelligent lyrics, sparking synth-pop and a unique visual image to spawn an international hit with their 1984 album Into the Gap. For the follow-up they didn't change the formula much, but producer Alex Sadkin was out and, eventually, former Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers was in. Several factors delayed production of the album but, in the end, it was still a moderate success, although nowhere near as good as the two that came before it.

Things just got better until 1981's 4, which spawned a number of hit singles and hand multi-Platinum success. When Agent Provocateur was released in late 1984 it produced a number one hit with "I Want to Know What Love Is", but failed to reach the heights of its predecessor.

During a lull in their tour they decided to make a quick EP of new material, but that soon expanded into 1992's Zooropa. While still a hit with fans and critics it would signal a turnaround in the fortunes for the Irish band.

The sessions didn't go well and the resulting album was not one of the band's favorites. Despite the initial thought that they should be a good match their recording and production styles clashed throughout, and a set of mostly tired and forgettable songs didn't help.

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0300

INXS's 1988 album Kick was one of those '80s albums that kept delivering the hits over a year later. That gave the band some time to rest after their tour and regroup, releasing X in 1990. Since the previous hits made it feel like they never left the new songs helped them stay on the charts as they molded their slick dance pop into something that resembled the alternative scene at the time.

The album didn't depart much from their style, but a surprising element was the inclusion of guitars and other traditional rock instruments along with the usual synth sounds.

What Came Next... King Crimson "In the Wake of Poseidon"

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0300

After the revolutionary In the Court of the Crimson King in 1969 King Crimson did a tour behind the record, which was a hit in the UK and a cult favorite in the U.S. Problem was, by the end, Robert Fripp and Pete Sinfield were the only full-time members left in the group. Fripp was able to talk Greg Lake, Michael Giles and Peter Giles to return to record In the Court of the Crimson King, but the tour would lead to a new lineup. Meanwhile, their second album became their highest charting in the UK, and was a sign of things to come.

No other death metal band had a female singer, and Gossow certainly proved that she could scream and growl with the best. Problem is, although she contributed, Arch Enemy is the baby of guitarist Michael Amott, and when he finds something that works he is more than happy to keep going back to the well.

When they returned they did so with the double album Works Volume 1, featuring one side each of solo material and one side as a band. To say it was spotty is an understatement, and more than anything highlighted a group that was becoming tired of working together.

Mon, 26 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

"Rock Lobster" quickly became a song that filled dancefloors in the late 1970s and, though it only sold moderately well at the time, The B-52's has become one of the top new wave albums in everyone's collection. Pressured to get something out fast, the Athens, Georgia band quickly recorded Wild Planet and released it in 1980. Similar in sound to the first, it outsold the debut. Unfortunately, it was more of the same, with a lot of great songs but with many of the album tracks lacking.

What Came Next...Dio "Sacred Heart"

Mon, 12 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Dio's first two albums, Holy Diver and The Last in Line, were hard rock classics. So, why change things up? If anything, Sacred Heart was a bit poppier, but largely it sounded like the first two, which was both a blessing and a curse. It would be the last album with Vivian Campbell on guitar, signaling that the band's sound would change a bit for the following record, but not radically.

What Came Next...Devo "New Traditionalists"

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Devo scored a top-20 hit with the song "Whip It" in 1980, from their third album, Freedom of Choice. Unfortunately, it meant that even though the band had worked hard on its concept and identity through music, touring and visuals, it was now known as a novelty act by most people. They followed it up by upping the synthesizers in their sound, as well as the cynicism, for 1981's New Traditionalists, forging ahead rather than consciously trying to repeat the success of "Whip It".

What Came Next...Def Leppard "Adrenalize"

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

After dominating late '80s pop and hard rock radio with seven singles from their album Hysteria, it took a while for Def Leppard to get a new album out. During that time guitarist Steve Clark passed away and longtime producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange decided to go on to other projects. Still, the band carried on briefly as a quartet, using what they could of Clark's work on Adrenalize and still scoring a major hit album even though it was clear the formula was wearing thin.

What Came Next...Genesis "A Trick of the Tail"

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Peter Gabriel, the unique and flamboyant lead singer of Genesis, decided to part ways with the band in 1975 after the conclusion of their tour supporting their 1974 album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. That album had been a major hit and, like the one before it, almost broke them on U.S. radio. With Gabriel gone, the search was on for a new singer, and much of the British press thought the band should just call it quits. Instead, after a fruitless search, they settled on drummer Phil Collins, who had sung the odd song on some of their previous albums. A Trick of the Tail was a hit in the UK and, surprisingly, did moderately well in the U.S. as well.

With new guitarist David Gilmour, the band was tasked with recording a follow-up to The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. In 1968 they released A Saucerful of Secrets which, though it was largely made without Barrett's involvement, so continued in the spirit of what he had started.

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Although it was a parody of progressive rock (Ian Anderson wasn't too happy about Aqualung being lumped in with such,) Thick As a Brick reached number one on the Billboard 200 despite the fact the album was one song that took up two sides of the record. Efforts to do a follow-up at the Château d'Hérouville in rural France proved fruitless, being renamed by Anderson and crew "Château d'Isaster" and the entire album they had planned abandoned. Returning to the UK they quickly recorded A Passion Play. What was supposed to be a concept album of mini-suites following a man's journey through the afterlife was released, like Thick As a Brick, as one complete work. While it again reached the top of the charts it was hated by critics and the band itself, although it has developed a following over the years.

What Came Next...The Alan Parsons Project "Pyramid"

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Alan Parsons cut his teeth as an assistant on the Beatles' Abby Road, and by 1973 he was the main engineer for Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon. Producing was the next step and, in 1975, the Scottish band Pilot had a top five it with the song "Magic". Parsons joined with songwriter and keyboardist Eric Woolfson and arranger Andrew Powell and, with Pilot and a number of session musicians vocalist, produced Tales of Mystery and Imagination in 1976. What was originally a one-off collaboration began a full studio band, stripped down for their first hit album I Robot and even further for the third album, Pyramid. Though pretty much an overlooked album in Parsons's catalogue, it features excellent songwriting by Eric Woolfson and the first vocal performances of bassist David Paton and former Zombies vocalist Colin Blunstone on one of the Project's records.

What Came Next...Chicago "Chicago III"

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Chicago's second album, simply titled Chicago but at times retconned to Chicago II, is what really broke the band. The singles from Chicago Transit Authority didn't exactly light up the charts in 1969, but a year later they were re-released and shared the spotlight with the ones from Chicago. The band went on a massive tour and then right back into the studio for Chicago III, having to come up with all new material. In contrast to the hit machine that was Chicago, Chicago III saw the band taking the jazz part of their sound much more seriously, as well as adding in some funk and R&B. It was decidedly non-commercial, and would be their last double album for quite awhile.

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Traveling Wilburys were a surprise dream come true of a supergroup and their 1988 album, Vol. 1, was one of the best of the decade. It pretty much brought out the best in every member and put them on the comeback trail. Unfortunately, Roy Orbison died shortly after its release. Still, it was successful enough that George Harrison decided to give it another go and get Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan to do a second album. While still a quality album, Roy Orbison was sorely missed.

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0400

That meant that the Rock and Disco songs from the previous albums were no more, but the ballads were enhanced by the orchestral arrangements of keyboard player Frank Esler-Smith, elevating Air Supply's music for a short time above that of their soft-rock counterparts.

However, in 1967, they were asked to appear on a stereo demonstration record for their label, Deram. That album, Days of Future Passed, became a major hit and revitalized their career. However, needing to sustain their success and without a symphony orchestra in tow, the Moody Blues released In Search of the Lost Chord, with the members playing all the instruments and Michael Pinder's use of the Mellotron making up for the absence of an orchestra. It was successful, but helped set up the pattern for their future releases.

What Came Next...Deep Purple "Who Do We Think We Are"

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Machine Head was the culmination of everything Deep Purple had worked for since reinventing themselves on Deep Purple in Rock. The 1972 album spawned a hit single in "Smoke on the Water" and became a heavy metal classic. At the time the band were on par with Led Zeppelin in terms of popularity. However, a worldwide tour, followed by label and management pressure to immediately return to the studio to make a follow-up to Machine Head, resulted in an album that sounds tired and increased tensions within the band. After an abortive tour this version of Deep Purple would not work together again until 1984.

What Came Next...Duran Duran "Seven and the Ragged Tiger"

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Afte the success of Rio the pressure was on to keep Duran Duran a hitmaking machine. Despite going to exotic locations to film videos, wearing the latest fashions and being featured on the cover of a number of magazines, the sudden fame was weighing on the band, and their fortunes were in danger of being seized by the British government. In tax exile they began working on what was originally a concept album, but soon became Seven and the Ragged Tiger. It would spawn their first number one hit in the U.S., but it would be the last the classic version of the band would record for over two decades.

Though the lyrical content was more personal and still quite dark, the appearance was of a lighter, more mainstream Metallica, with short hair and eyeliner. While the album still sold well it was obvious the old Metallica was gone.

What Came Next...The Residents "Commercial Album"

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0400

After giving up on their reel-to-reel video movie Vileness Fats and spending a good portion of the 1970s working on the album Eskimo, the Residents had found some critical and cult acclaim. During that time they had released a 7-inch EP called Duck Stab! and, as they were working on Eskimo, came up with a similar EP called Buster and Glen. Rather than release it on its own, it was combined with Duck Stab!, and the resulting collection of songs remains one of their most popular releases to date. Expanding on that, in 1980, instead of another huge concept album, the Residents released Commercial Album, which consisted of 40 one-minute songs. The result was some of the most memorable music of their career.

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0400

After Welcome to My Nightmare, and especially a hit single with "Only Women Bleed", Alice Cooper as a solo artist was continuing the same success as he had with the band called Alice Cooper. The problem was that success was catching up with him in the form of alcoholism, sapping both his health and his creativity. Still, guitarist Dick Wagner and producer and keyboard player Bob Ezrin managed to keep Alice going through the end of the '70s. A second ballad, "I Never Cry", kept him on the charts, even if his second solo album was a warning of things to come.

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0400

While Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables was definitely the album that solidified Dead Kennedys' spot in hardcore punk, I have always felt their sophomore effort, Plastic Surgery Disasters, was the stronger of the two albums. It sees them start to move away from the conventions of punk music while remaining true to the spirit, both in the aggressiveness of the music and in their politics.

What Came Next...The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour"

Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0400

After the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles released a series of singles with a related sound to the album throughout 1967, without releasing any songs from the album as actual singles. Toward the end of the year they planned a double-disc E.P. release of newly recorded soundtrack music for a one-hour BBC Boxing Day special, Magical Mystery Tour. While the film itself was one of the first major stumbles the band did, most of the music on the E.P. reflected further expansion on the sound of Sgt. Pepper. In the United States, however, the singles were combined with the EP to make a new Beatles album.

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Yes had achieved chart success in the U.S. beginning with their third LP, The Yes Album. Original keyboard player Tony Kaye would be let go after that album, with former Strawbs keyboard player Rick Wakeman joining in mid-1971. Both the albums Fragile and Close to the Edge would be considered both fan and critical favorites, with a successful tour a triple-album live album and concert film in Yessongs. However, during that tour drummer Bill Bruford left for King Crimson and was replaced by Alan White, and Jon Anderson and Steve Howe began working on new music that would become one of the band's most controversial albums - Tales from Topographic Oceans.

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Most of Herb Alpert's albums are thrift store mainstays, with Whipped Cream and Other Delights being the most recognizable. However, the reason there are so many is because the music, unlike a lot of easy listening at the time, was enjoyable to a wide arrange of listeners and of consistent quality from album to album. Still, 1965 seemed like one of the best years for Alpert, as his band, originally session musicians, became an actual unit. !!Going Places!!, Alpert's second release in 1965 and follow-up to Whipped Cream, is one of the best examples of his sound and managed keep those hits coming.

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Recently Kate Bush's 1985 single "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)" has gained renewed attention due to the show Stranger Things. It was, in fact, her only top 40 hit in the United States, and the album it came from, Hounds of Love, was also her highest charting here as well. In the UK it spawned three other singles that made the UK top 40 as well. After a compilation album, a duet with Peter Gabriel and a song for a John Hughes film, Bush came back in 1989, this time prepared to take over the American alternative charts with The Sensual World.

What Came Next...Aerosmith "Draw the Line"

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Aerosmith, in the mid-1970s, was hated by critics and loved by their loyal fans, the Blue Army. They were one of the biggest hard rock acts of the time, selling millions of records and having back-to-back platinum albums with Toys in the Attic and Rocks. Unfortunately, not only was success going to their heads, but plenty of other things were going into their veins and up their noses. As a result, Draw the Line would be a laborious recording process, and almost the end of the band.

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Accept was one of the most popular heavy metal bands in Europe, and in fact the world, and they remain so today. There is one major exception: the United States. Balls to the Wall went Gold in the U.S., and with Accept pursuing a decidedly more commercial sound, 1985's Metal Heart should have pushed them over the top. Instead, despite being one of the band's favorite albums, it pushed them toward their initial breakup.

What Came Next...Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0400

It took a while for Pink Floyd to regain their focus but, when they did, it eventually resulted in the 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. One of the most popular and well-known albums in the world, it shot the band to a level of stardom they previously failed to achieve. After a long tour, a long recording session and Roger Waters coming more to the forefront of the band, Wish You Were Here was released in 1975. Partially a tribute to Syd Barrett, partially a warning about the music industry, it gives their previous album quite a challenge for the best in the group's catalog.

What Came Next...Genesis "We Can't Dance"

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0400

The three-piece version of Genesis became increasingly popular from 1978 onward, with 1986's Invisible Touch being their biggest yet. Phil Collins managed a successful solo career starting in 1981 and was popular enough that Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks expected him to leave. However, he came back for one more album, We Can't Dance, in 1991. It again spawned a number of hits, but also was their longest since The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 00:00:00 -0300

After nearly a decade apart, the Mark II version of Deep Purple reformed and made a successful comeback album with Perfect Strangers. It wasn't long before the same tensions that led to lineup changes previously resurfaced and, between a long tour behind the album and slow-going coming up with new ideas, it was three years before The House of Blue Light was released. The album was a blatant attempt to sound like the bands they had influenced.

What Came Next...Episode 47: Aerosmith "Get a Grip"

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 00:00:00 -0300

After leaving for two albums Joe Perry returned to Aerosmith for 1985's Done with Mirrors, which also saw the band moving to Geffen Records. The band was clean and sober, but the album didn't click with the public. In order to change that Bruce Fairbairn, the producer behind Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet, was brought in, as well as an army of writers to make Permanent Vacation in 1987. The pattern was repeated with Pump in 1989, which solidified the band's comeback, and on Get a Grip from 1991. The latter became the band's best selling album, but was filled with even busier production, more guests and more outside writers. For better or worse it solidified the direction Aerosmith would take for the rest of their career.

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 00:00:00 -0300

The B-52's suffered a major tragedy with the death of guitarist Ricky Wilson and, though they managed to get 1986's Bouncing Off the Satellites put together and released, it appeared that may be their final album.
In 1989, however, they came back in a big way with Cosmic Thing and the hit "Love Shack". Cindy Wilson left to focus on her family in 1990 and, tired, with one member down and under pressure to replicate the success of "Love Shack", the B-52's went into the studio and recorded 1991's Good Stuff.

Molly Harvey became both a recognizable voice for the Residents beginning with 1999's Wormwood and the ensuing tour, singing lead on many songs from 2002's Demons Dance Alone. Her influence and vocals are still heavily felt on her last album with the band, Animal Lover, from 2005, which is often considered one of the best of the latter-day Residents recordings.

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 -0300

There was a three-year gap between Heartbeat City and Door to Door, and in the 1980s that might as well have been an eternity. Though the hits from the former still got played on the radio, the sound was now considered dated and the band itself was more interested in pursuing their solo careers. Still, they made one last album before calling it quits for the next 24 years.
