No, no, no
The problem is, if you write the same album twice, then it's not as good the second time round. With the exception of Don Quixote (have a read of "Pierre Menard: Author of the Quixote", it's funny, in a pretentious sort of way). Music's a very personal thing too. And if you hear something for the first time when you're in a bad mood, it's as likely to affect your opinion as much as whether it's actually a piece of shit or not. I'm lucky, I got as much out of every Radiohead album as the last, and still wait with anticipation for the next. And I liked Motorcycle Emptiness, but the Manics never did it for me otherwise... personal thing you see...
