Debut albums often get a lot of attention, but what about second albums? While the “sophomore slump” has been known to affect many artists, some second albums up the ante, expanding on what was brought to the table the first time around. Some second albums even go in completely different directions, establishing an unexpected trajectory that will come to define a career. Second albums are a strange beast, and in this week’s episode we’ll hear samples from many different specimens. Artists will include Love, Os Mutantes, Lou Reed, the Talking Heads, and many more!
