debut album
Inaugural recorded collection
A debut album is an artist's or band's first full-length record release.
The term carries weight in music—a strong debut can launch a career, while a weak one may end it.
Critics and fans often compare later work to the debut: Their debut album went platinum, but they've struggled to match it since.
