if we're talking about the highest ratio of [awesomeness of first album] to [remaining body of work which is good but not as awesome] then nothing beats Killing Joke's 1980 debut album imo

 

 

 

 

this album still blows my head off and nothing they have done since has been as amazing, or ever will be

 

edit: and they were all fucking 19 at the time

Too right. Good call.

Just in case you haven't check out the other LP named Killing Joke (2005) that is absolute killer too.

My brain isn't in gear just yet, so nothing too add on this subject.
