OutKast is another, like Prince, where I think of the jump between albums #1 and #2 as being less dramatic as those between #2 and #3.

I'd put ATLiens ahead of Aquemini these days.

ATLiens is and always has been their best work.

Hot Chip

I like most of Hot Chip, but as a whole album, I like the first one best.

Girls Aloud

Undoubtedly, but the stuff on the first album by the lineup that did the second album pointed clearly that way.

Cut Copy

If you mean from I Thought Of Numbers to Bright Like Neon Love, sure. If you mean from Bright Like to Ghost Colours, nah. They just learnt how to sound a bit more like '90s New Order.

Outkast

The first four Outkast albums feel more like a group wanting to do different things each time out, and getting more skilled as they leave their teens, than any significant leap in quality overall from any one album to another. (Underscored by the shift from the first album being all Organized Noize, and the second one being nearly half-and-half.)
