“Bands often find their creative stride and mainstream success with their third album, delivering a breakthrough that defines their careers. Incubus’ Make Yourself is a prime example, marking a dramatic shift from their earlier funk-metal roots to a polished alternative rock sound. This album produced hits like “Pardon Me,” “Stellar,” and the chart-topping “Drive,” catapulting the band onto radio and MTV, and introducing their music to a global audience for the first time. Similarly, Ghost’s third album, Meliora, saw the Swedish band refine their theatrical heavy metal style, earning widespread acclaim and solidifying their place in the modern rock scene. Slayer’s Reign in Blood, their third studio effort, is often hailed as a landmark in thrash metal, delivering relentless speed and aggression that brought the band critical and commercial recognition. These third albums not only marked turning points for their creators but also left enduring marks on their respective genres, illustrating how the third time can indeed be the charm for bands seeking their breakthrough moment.” (Perplexity)
