With the music industry, it's pretty common for a band to have an incredible first release followed by years of bland music. They have their whole lives to work on that first recording but then they have to have the follow up within a year. Only the most exceptional bands are capable of improving with age; The Beatles, U2, Talking Heads, Radiohead and Queen are all fine examples of this. They've all had some level of main stream success while still experimenting with their sound and working on truly new material.

Then there's mountains of bands that come out with their one hit never to be heard from again because they used up all their juice on that first release. Offspring jumps to mind first because of how incredible their first album was only to be followed up with watered down versions of that same album.

I've been to North Dakota... just this summer actually. I was amazed at how bad the food was there. Best thing I had was a buffalo burger when we stopped in Rugby. The most notable thing about ND food was that they managed to make a totally tasteless corn beef hash... I didn't think it was possible but there was no flavour whatsoever...
Things were a bit better in SD but not much... People in MN and WI know much more about their food (It's kind of hard to say that considering I stopped at the Spam museum...).
