Kings of Leon - Youth and young manhood

good call! Their terrible career undermines their incredible debut and followup records. Everything after those first two are garbage though

great but - wasn't their debut

Introducting ... The Beatles beat it by 10 days
and even this was just their US debut.. not their first for the UK.

"Debut albums that you like" are not necessarily synonymous with "Masterpiece debut albums".

Lotta playing fast and loose. Just saying.

What's a masterpiece album is kind of in the eye of the beholder though. It's not like there is an objective list of masterpiece albums.
