Bands That Peaked With Their First Commercial Album

Pearl Jam - Versus was pretty good but not as good as Ten - they have have yet to put out an album since that can even compare to the 1st one.

No Code is a very, very good album. Of course, it doesn't "sound like Pearl Jam" so no people don't like it, but the songs are terrific. It's good enough that the idea of them "peaking" early isn't as obvious as it seems, although I can't really argue that Ten isn't their best, either.

(And you know what, I like Vitalogy. I don't care what anyone says.)
