Best Comeback Records
Posted on 7/1/15 at 12:04 pm

When I say comeback, I mean an album that was released several years (10+) after an artist's peak or heyday. I don't mean AC/DC's recording of Back in Black after the death of Bon Scott only several months prior.
My nominee would be Bob Dylan's Time Out of Mind. I just listened to it the other day and all I can do is shake my head at the thought of someone being that talented of a songwriter.
The album covers a variety of genres and contains what has become one of the most popularized love songs of the last twenty years ("To Make You Feel My Love").
Just incredible.
I know some people would nominate Neil Young's resurgence in the late '80s and early '90s.
What are some others?

Weezer - Everything Will Be Alright In The End. This was a big surprise to me because I haven't liked anything but the singles they released since after Pinkerton. This was a solid effort and is among the best of their work.
Dinosaur Jr. - Farm - One of their best albums IMO, over 20 years after they released "You're Living All Over Me."

Change that to Beyond and I'd agree.

I think the Foo Fighters' peak was The Colour and the Shape (1997) and There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1999). Wasting Light (2011) was their next best record, IMO.

Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue
Their latest album was even better than that one.

not quite 10 years, but deep purple's perfect strangers deserves mention.

Aerosmith - Permanent Vacation - considering they were done, for all practical purposes when this disc hit.
Def Leppard - Adrenalize - although they faded afterwards, at this point they were down to a four piece and after all the adversity between Pyromania and Hysteria, they could have just packed it in and called it quits after Steve died.
The ABB - close, but I'm calling Brothers and Sisters a great "comeback" - they had deaths just before and around Eat a Peach, but that was a tribute to Duane. After losing him and then Oakley in almost the same way, in almost the same spot, almost 1 year to the day later - they also could have packed it in - and Brothers and Sisters is one of their best.

Does Mark Knopflers new album Tracker count? That is an outstanding album

Good point. I forget that Farm was a follow-up to Beyond.

Not quite 10 years, but Californication was a great comeback racord, after the success of BSSM and the lackluster follow-up, One Hot Minute.

Superchunk's "Majesty Shredding" was released in 2010... released 9 years after their previous record... only a comeback in the sense of their hiatus, since they never actually put out a bad record..

My Bloody Valentine. If it can even be called a comeback, but I really enjoyed MBV.
Posted on 7/1/15 at 9:05 pm to AlexLSU
Except that they really hit it big with "All My Life".

Aerosmith Permanent Vacation. They really were left for dead.
Don't laugh but I'd also say Duke Live at Newport in 58. Totally revitalized his career. It was thought his star success was over. Came out and swung for the fences.
Meatloaf's album that has I'll do anything for Love on it. Had disappeared from the music scene for a long time.
George Harrison 's that has Fab. Don't remember the name. Had been dead for years and boom, produces that album with solid hits.
Modern Love with Bowie.

Good one. That album was surprisingly good. Then again, I think that was due in large part to Cantrell being the primary songwriter even when Staley was alive.

I'm not sure about that one. Don't get me wrong, Californication annihilates One Hot Minute, but The Red Hot Chili Peppers were still one of the biggest bands in the '90s even before Frusciante returned. And the fact that there was only one album released between this time frame makes it seem like even more of a stretch.

I guess rhcp is different because everyone thought they were done after one hot minute and firing Navarro. They were thinking about calling it quits for sure until Frusciante returned.

I am still curious about whether or not we potentially missed out on some amazing music due to Frusciante's departure.

Well, he did release some solo stuff when he was absent. Niandre Lades is a very powerful album. I would liked to have seen what a sober JF could have done with a follow-up to BSSM.
