difficult third album
This week: second albums are often known as the 'difficult' ones, but what about the third? More often than not, that's the one that shapes the future career, whether for good (finally hitting that unique sound and sticking with it) or bad (failing spectacularly and retreating to safer ground). We'll looking at classic thirds from Springsteen, Talking Heads, Radiohead, The Replacements, The Stooges and more, and arguing that they're the real legacy-makers for any band.
