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.

Pearl jam has fallen so far and that's all I'll say about it.
Ten was great. Yield was ok. Vitalogy was…bugs bugs bugs. Just keeps getting stranger.
Dark Matter is sounding in the okay field. I don't understand why some people in the comment sections of every track are like going "Yeah! Pearl Jam is back to their angry roots!" when the album, 7 tracks in for me, is sounding pretty mellow. Some good rock flare but it's overstating the matter about how 'angry' it is.
Going to throw it on while I do some work.
