I was finishing off clearing the last of my defunct computer equipment at my old office when I found a tape of the Iron Maiden début that had fallen down the back of an old Amstrad PC. I stuck it in my arcane car stereo and used it as a very loud soundtrack to the subsequent visit to the local dump. It go me thinking about 'in your face' first albums by bands, which I felt have never been bettered by the band. And from this another album sprang to mind - AFI's - Answer That And Stay Fashionable. The post also gives me a chance to try an embed of the Deezer player. So, hopeful, here is the said album...

WOW!! That really is old-school AFI! :)
I had only heard AFI's most recent two big-label albums, and didn't realize they had been so punk!
I'm trying to think of other artists who started off as snotty kids and then changed. Tom Petty maybe? His first two albums were kinda fierce! Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes were both wonderfully immature on their first albums (I wished they hadn't grown up). I would say Green Day but they haven't really grown up, just corporatized ;)
Of course a couple of landmark bratty first albums would be The Ramones and Sex Pistols!
