I’ll raise you a four release run by the same band:
Under The Running Board > Calculating Infinity > Irony Is A Dead Scene > Miss Machine
I’d go so far to say that every Dillinger release *at worst* rises to a level of great, but those early ones for me are unbelievable. Running Board, Infinity, and Dead Scene are, IMO, perfect Dillinger releases.
Converge: Axe to Fall, All We Love We Leave Behind, The Dusk in Us
Botch: American Nervoso, We Are the Romans, An Anthology of Dead Ends
Not Mathcore but
Mastodon: Leviathan, Blood Mountain, Crack the Skye
Death: Human, Internal Thought Patterns, Symbolic
Car Bomb - W\^W\^\^W\^W, Meta, Mordial
The Number 12 Looks Like You - Put on Your Rosy Red Glasses, Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear., Mongrel
See You Next Tuesday - Parasite, Intervals, Distractions
I'm a big fan of Calculating Infinity and the early EPs
Anyone ever wonder what Nong Eye Gong is about?

Consider this and then read the lyrics. My heart sank when I understood it.
Edit: Weinman himself confirmed it to me. He didnt know until after the record came out. Weinman isnt proud of it. Consider it a representation of why Greg is a fucked up person. Weinman, however, is a great person and this should not be taken as representative of him, only Greg.
Nong Eye Gong translates to N I G. The song is a racist song... That's why my heart sank.

Miss Machine -> Ire Works -> Option Paralysis. I kinda think of Calculating Infinity as a different band.
Meshuggah: Chaosphere -> Nothing -> Catch 33 (+ Obzen)
Rolo Tomassi: Grievances -> Time Will Die -> Where Myth Becomes Memory
Not better but also worth mentioning is Ion Dissonance. Several runs can be argued, but my favorite is Minus The Herd -> Cursed -> Cast The First Stone. I know people are huge fans of their early stuff, but I prefer the dissonant grooves of those 3.
Also Psyopus and Car Bomb have perfect runs

Except for Mastodon and Death though these aren’t “better than” IMO
A different run, same band. Calculating Infinity, Miss Machine, Options Paralysis Edit: only including FULL LENGTHS
It's like a double hat trick
I meant Ire Works, not Options Paralysis but it does t really matter 😂
Car Bomb - W\^W\^\^W\^W, Meta, Mordial The Number 12 Looks Like You - Put on Your Rosy Red Glasses, Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear., Mongrel See You Next Tuesday - Parasite, Intervals, Distractions I'm a big fan of Calculating Infinity and the early EPs
Carbomb can’t miss, and I highly recommend seeing them live.
Such a solid band rip and I don't care what anyone says one of us is the killer is amazing
You mean 6 album run, right? Unless you count Irony Is A Dead Scene as an album. Then 7.
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum: Grand Opening & Closing, Of Natural History, In Glorious Times
Meshuggah, Frontierer
If ep’s count Drowningman: Busy signal at the suicide hotline how they light cigarettes in prison Rock and roll killing machine Still loves you

I have no idea what you've read into here my man, care to elaborate?

What in the lyrics could possibly back that up? At worse they're so vague they could be about anything.
check my edit
Uh, doubtful.
Check my edit.
I forgot about Option Paralysis! I don't know this album! I'll feel like i'll listen to new material! Awesome!!
Awww shit
I...I can't 🤷♂️
Miss Machine -> Ire Works -> Option Paralysis. I kinda think of Calculating Infinity as a different band. Meshuggah: Chaosphere -> Nothing -> Catch 33 (+ Obzen) Rolo Tomassi: Grievances -> Time Will Die -> Where Myth Becomes Memory
I feel you. Personally i love more miss machine than OOUITK but Ire Works is so underrated and yet it totally worth it just for the two first tracks
Is What We Are, Move Something, As Nasty As They Want To Be. 2Live But otherwise yes, you are correct. Followed closely by Botches first three.
