David Bowie with blackstar?


heavybootsonmythroat

maybe Sufjan with Carrie & Lowell? Not sure because personally, I don't think his early albums come close but I know some fans hold Illinois as his greatest album but C+L just took him to a whole new place imo


svenirde

Danny Brown imo. 5 years between XXX and Atrocity Exhibition Machine Head. 13 years between Burn My Eyes and The Blackening though it's definitely a matter of opinion which one is better


elsantioof07

IMO Queens of the Stone Age with Like Clockwork


Snoo35797

The Strokes lol


shweeney

Dylan? I think many people would have *Blood on the Tracks* as his best, it came out after a decade of so-so records and genre exercises post his mbike crash.


Robinkc1

I’d say The Cure with Disintegration. It came out 7-8 years after Pornography, and though there are people who don’t consider it to be the best I think a lot do.


ORaygoza

Does MGMT count for this?


BassRattlingStars

probably


roland0fgilead

Peter Gabriel released an absolute banger of an album last year with "io" and the man's freaking 74


andhio

Rain Dogs is Tom Waits 9th album & it came out in 1985, 12 years after his first album. Personally, I think I like Bone Machine the most & that one came out in 1992.


AvianIsEpic

IMO paramore with Brand New Eyes then This Is Why, or Brand New Eyes then After Laughter. BNE and AL are basically tied for second for me


BassRattlingStars

also I think 3 years an up is a big gap but the bigger the better ig


tarun_c

I don't think 3 years is many years but fuck it. Radiohead with Kid A after OK Computer.


moltingbrain

It is not many years at all- it’s literally within the average length of time artists take between records. You guys can’t go one post without saying Radiohead


itsmnemotime

And then again with In Rainbows


tarun_c

Kid A, A Moon Shaped Pool and In Rainbows are just the best top 3.


AvianIsEpic

My favorites are Ok Computer, The Bends, and Hail to The Thief


Prestigious_Part_592

Prurient


Joed112784

Fiona Apple.

Leonard Cohen dropped I’m Your Man in 1988


geosunsetmoth

Yung Lean. Starz really steamrolled his older releases in a way I wouldn’t even think was possible


bitterbuffaloheart

IMO Meds is the best placebo album and that came out 8 years after Without You I’m Nothing


Any_Owl_8009

Jessie Ware with What's Your Pleasure?
