Green Day - Dookie

Radiohead - Kid A/Amnesiac

System of a down - Toxicity

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the deaf

The Offspring - Smash

I love that game!

Songs for the Deaf is incredible, but how could you say they fell off when ~~Like Clockwork~~ Era Vulgaris exists and is clearly their best album all the way through?

100%

Era Vulgaris is by far my favorite album of theirs.

"fell off" is interpreted very strongly by some, I just see it as "here's their peak, after that they never made something quite as good as that"

And to me that's SftD even if EV is still awesome!
