Your disappointment and can I call it a feeling of being betrayed? Ok, maybe you weren't as dramatic a kid as I was, buy I had the same reaction to the Cars' Panorama after Candy-O. With new wave it was tough because so many bands released debuts that established a certain vibe that we all embraced, but by their second albums they changed course or just did the same thing but not as well. Still love the era tho. Also, conventional wisdom at the time was Cyndi Lauper would have the longeviry and Madonna was a flash in the pan. But Lauper's subsequent output never matched her debut.
