Just played two British albums from different era.
Average White Band / AWB from 1974
Ragn Bone Man / Human from 2017
As Michael has fixed Allmusic changes in MAI I read the reviews.
Both reviews presumably by contemporary American reviewers use the term
sophomore in them. I rest my case

First, my assumption is that the question was intended to include
Canadians. Second, I don't think any of us could claim to speak for the

There's a really annoying thing about language: it's constantly
changing. And another annoying thing is that it changes in different
ways in different places. So while I think of a particular expression as
a turn of phrase that might have been clever the first time it was used
but has since
In our part of the US (west) we tend to use "sophomore" as an adjective
to describe the "second" of something. As in his sophomore season of
playing professional soccer, baseball, football, etc. But, it's not
restricted to athletics or academia (sophomore year of high school or
university) and
