Cuz they see the dark side of fame.

It's easier to break into the business with a lighter album than it is a darker one IMO.
Well for pop shit especially.

 

[Mamba]

or not?  Lol

 

[Lucifer Morningstar]

The Massacre isn't as dark as GRODT.

 

[Andre3k]

This is because after the debut album, artists are more established and have solid fan bases so they have more freedom to make experimental records

 

[AdenFTW.]

Lol, I immediately thought of The Cool.

 

[Synopsis]

Late Registration doe

 

[AdenFTW.]

I don't think 'Doolittle' is darker than 'Surfer Rosa'. and Jay's second album is not as dark as 'Reasonable Doubt'.


But yes, on average, the second album usually has to deal with the perils of newfound fame. That cliche leads to a lot of 'dark' albums.

Lupe Fiasco's the Cool

 

[Neslom]

'White Light/White Heat' is a great example of a darker second record.

I don't think Wu Tang's second record is as dark as 36 Chambers.

I don't think 'Nevermind' is as dark as 'Bleach', but I suspect I'm in the minority with that.
