As in burning out from fame, strung out on drugs, on the brink of suicide (personal or professional), or just hung-over.

Blur


I'd say 13 over Blur.

I'd almost pick Kid A and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot... but those are more about recovering from a burn-out than what's already been said.

And what's the story on Beatles For Sale?
Mitchell
Blur was a more of a removal from the Britpop/fame game and Damon not wanting to play it anymore. Songs like Death of A Party and the way Coxon wrangled the band away from him infusing the Lo-fi US influence is much more obvious.

13 is more about Damon's personal relationships but yeah it fits the bill too.

By Beatles for Sale they were running on empty, hence the amount of covers on the record (they still wrote and recorded 24 orginal songs and played 158 gigs, 43 TV performances, 30 radio session and made a film in twelve months.)

And those first three songs (No Reply, I'm a Loser, Baby's in Black) make up the most depressing stretch of Beatles songs (in a good way).

Well, I'm not like a HUGE Dylan fan, but I personally love that album - burnout or no.

Definitely The Final Cut over the Wall.

And the White Album reeks of burnout - even tho much of it is absolutely brilliant.

And, uh.... Boingo.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Mardi Gras.

By this time, they're down to a trio (Tom Fogerty left). The bassist and drummer start writing and singing their own pleasant but inferior pieces. Immediately the band went from being a first-rate roots-rock band (before the term was invented) to being a third-tier country rock band. They didn't quite jump the shark, and it's actually quite decent, but there is a definite feeling of despair here. Even though this LP contains two hit singles, note that no one mentioned this album in the recent CCR thread.

Shot Out the Lights is a great record - maybe not the best mentioned so far (not in any list that already includes Tonight's the Night, anyway) but how is it a burn out album? If you read up on the record, you will note that it was written and recorded almost two years before Richard and Linda Thompson split up.

How 'bout a lil' T. Rex?



T. Rex - Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow

Coming off a pretty impressive 3-album span with Electric Warrior, the Slider and Tanx (which is where the seams begin to show in Bolan's little party bubble) Zinc reeks of excess, hangovers, and formulaic laziness. A textbook warning of becoming so distracted by one's success that your work suffers, featuring poor songwriting coupled with a misplaced reliance upon machinery to save a weak performance. Copycat material all the way as Bolan travels down the same musical paths but with even less to talk about, while so lost he nicks his ol' rival Bowie's alter-ego trick and fools absolutely no one. Interestingly enough the demo versions are much stronger - something which became a pattern in his later works (altho Futuristic Dragon was surprisingly great as both demo + finished album).
