What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS's stuff just doesn't hit the same way.
And if you're not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist's work? Whatever works for you.
*Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.

Boston is the first that comes to mind for me. there's their self-titled which is easily one of the best records of all time, and then everything that came wasn't exactly bad but it was nowhere near the same level
Boston was my first reaction. Their first album is nigh perfect; everything after is merely decent '80s rock.
