this could be true. or you could say that an artist becomes more enclosed in his own narrow world after time, or the artist gets so much shiny new equipment that he loses his grip on the core of the music, the possibilities become too great. of course, not naming any names here.

well you could always say that the first album had by far the longest amount of time for preparation, that is to say, the first album is the result of a lifetime of thought and experience. can you approach a second in this way? but no, artists aren't doomed to failure after the first release. i think people just strike lucky every so often..
