Someone suggested this in the other thread. The best example I can think of is Crimson's Discipline. What an amazing come back, cutting edged, a new classic sound, and some of the band's best music.

Änglagård - Viljans Öga comes to mind.

Agitation Free - At The Cliffs of the River Rhine
No wait. Doesn't count. Archival recordings.
Beefheart-Shiny Beast(Bat Chain Puller) 1978
Back to form after 1974's rather uninspired Bluejeans & Moonbeams.
Magma - KA
Happy the Man - The Muse Awakens (sure, there are a couple of mediocre tracks, but the good ones make up for them)
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
VDGG - Godbluff
For me personally, I really loved Steely Dan's 2vN comeback.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Love all of the albums you all have mentioned so far: KA and Godbluff are in my top 10 albums of all time.
Also one of the classics of comebacks: 90125.
Marillion -- Seasons End
IQ -- Ever
Pink Floyd -- The Final Cut (yes! TFC!)
I love TFC as well but I do not consider it a come back albumOriginally Posted by JKL2000

Yes, I would second both of these.
Heck, I like Thrak plenty as well - just not as much as Discipline.
I'd also add Magma's "K.A."
AMLOR was the come-back album.
Not sure who would consider that among the "best" of come-back albums, but there's probably someone.
Not a come back but The Power to Believe in 2003 was a return to form (imo) with Crimson firing on all cylinders.
For another comeback (from 1991 to 2003) is the Allman Brothers' Hittin the Note. It has moments that are strong as anything this amazing band has ever done.
Van der Graaf and Trettioariga Kriget's four album run after both reuniting in the early 2000's.
Pink Floyd- A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
(although i didn't approve of it when it came out- it took years before i accepted this as a PF album)
ELP- Black Moon
The Who- Endless Wire
I give this thread my full endorsement.
90125
Perfect Strangers
A momentary lapse of reason (sure why not)
I never thought of seasons end as a comeback album though. They replaced a singer. Big whoop.
I agree with The Muse Awakens, I would say that Oblivion Sun's The High Places ( as well as the S/T ) are the logical progression and are outstanding.

I know some would disagree, but for me Crest of a Knave is my personal favorite comeback album. For me, it captures a lot of the spirit of 70s Tull, even repackaged with plodding drums and Dire Straits-like guitar and vocal stylings. I totally get those critiques, but the album still works for me, and oddly contains some of my favorite Tull material. Definitely the most satisfying, for me.

Slapp Happy - Ça Va
Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
Camel - Dust and Dreams

"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
Well, it's certainly better than the two after it. Plus it beat Metallica! :PI know some would disagree, but for me Crest of a Knave is my personal favorite comeback album.

One of my all time favorite albums. Good call.
Dark -Anonymous Days
Stone Angel -East Of The Sun
Dulcimer -Room For Thought
Another vote for "Discipline"......I personally love that era
I did like The Moody Blues "Long Distance Voyager" even though it was missing the trademarks of Mike Pinder but Moraz took them into new territory and I appreciated that
For Pop Music, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's 2013 album "English Electric" is a pretty damn good album if you like synth pop -- they figured out a nice formula to bring back what they did in their 80s hey-dey blended with modern production techniques without sounding dated or like they were intentionally trying to be current
Oh, you're right! My mistake - it sure seemed like more time in between but nope!
