The most disappointing second albums ever

As Nicki Minaj returns with new album, who let us down in round two?

 

  • Nicki Minaj – 'Pink Friday – Roman Reloaded': A crashing disappointment of a follow-up after Nicki's slightly brilliant 'Pink Friday' debut. The awful icing on this already unpleasant cake were guest spots from both Chris Brown and Beenie Man.

What makes Nicki Minaj's new album 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' is that it sounds like she knocked it out in an afternoon. Maybe this is the case, and the whole thing is one big joke and she'll release the real follow up to her actually-quite-brilliant 'Pink Friday' next week. Haha and lol etc.

As it stands, 'Roman Reloaded' is one of the most disappointing second albums of all time.

But the US rapper is in good company because some of the biggest names in music struggled with their second albums, and if the likes of Kasabian can bounce back from as lacklustre a record as 'Empire' to become on of the UK's biggest headliners, then there's hope for everyone.

Check out some of the most disappointing second albums of all time, and let us know which artists disappointed you most with their sophomore releases.
