Best Sophomore Albums
by PaperVinnie 
The greatest sophomore efforts I've listened to so far. A great sophomore album is one that's a step or two away from the debut, while continuing the (hopefully) high quality of their earlier LP. It's an LP that continues to help establish them as a great band with more to come.
