Frank Ocean -Channel Orange

Is that a debut? I always thought that Nostalgia Ultra was Frank's first. Unless that was a mixtape.

Ah, that's just me making some poor jokes about the self-entitled albums. Clearly they didn't land 🤣 .

Here's my list of favorite debuts:

My Favorite Debuts by sethmadsen

Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend

I think you and I might have talked about this one before. I see it as another Fleet Foxes scenario because most listeners believe Modern Vampires is their best - *cough* Pitchfork *cough* - but then again, I'm not a fan and I agree with you on this one. Walcott is such a great track...

Yeah I've totally made this comment before that their debut is their best and possibly only album worth listening to regularly. But I'll be honest, in the last 6 months, Modern Vampires has grown on me. I mean it went from wow this is boring to hmm, this is actually pretty fantastic.

I'm just realising that we're 3 for 3 with self-entitled albums...

So out of curiosity, I went through the 100 albums on the list and more than 1/4 are self titled!

Also wasn't sure what you meant by these comments.

Also... this is really hard to maintain... I feel like there's some things i'd take off this list and add to it, but don't really have the brain power/time/patience to do that lately.

I can't believe I forgot about these three! Especially Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah, they've pretty much struggled to produce something that's as half as good until this year.

Unless you mean it's your favourite, I'm going to have to strongly disagree with this one:

I mean it's an inherently great album and start to their body of work but the four albums that follow it are just excellent and way more adventurous. I mean just The Crane Wife alone is enough proof.
