name a band that ****** you off because they got soft. (3 Viewers)

[rustyc23]

3 Doors Down had a pretty solid sound on the 1st album, a few good songs on the 2nd and after that it all went to nearly unlistenable sappy crap

 

[Utah Saints]

311. First two albums are a couple of my favorite of all time, then, eh. I still manage to find a couple songs off of each of their later albums to get into, but none of it is as ****** as this:

i'll second the votes for Incubus and 311. they are both two of my all time favorite bands who have steadily gone downhill with each album.

great albums:
incubus s.c.i.e.n.c.e.
incubus make yourself
311 grassroots
311 transistor

good albums:
incubus morning view
311 evolver

god awful craptastic albums:
incubus light grenades
311 uplifter
311 universal pulse

 

[Devildog]

I agree about Metallica, although I really liked Death Magnetic.

I'm gonna disagree with you on Transistor being worth a crap. Their first three: Music, Grassroots, and 311 were amazing. Transistor was the beginning of the end.

Just my opinion.

Just my opinion.

i dont get that, since Transistor is pretty much a longer Grassroots. nice mix of hard rocking tracks with some laid back reggae mixed in. i used to feel like Music was on the level with Grassroots, but now that i go back and listen to their entire catalog, i see that Music has a lot more going on lyrically than the new albums, but being a bunch of tracks from all of their indie CDs its just too rough when compared to later stuff. i think Grassroots is when they hit the sweet spot with their lyrics still being solid and their sound becoming more polished.

personally Transistor is my favorite album, but thats just because its longer than Grassroots. and this is coming from a fan who absolutely hated transistor when it first dropped.

 

[Saints 4 life]

I guess I'll say the Misfits. Although their new album is listenable, it's pretty weak compared to the days of old.

I'm going to go "way back"

1. Styx. They went from arena-type hard rock to musak in the space of about one album.

2. Journey. If you've ever heard their first three albums, you know what I'm talking about. They went from an interesting progressive rock band to bubble gum literally from one record to the next. It sounds like two different bands entirely.

While they are still my Favorite Band, In Flames has gotten significantly softer.

Biohazard

 

[saintmdterps]

Red hot chili peppers that californiacation crap sucks bad. Every cd sounds the same now

Once Dave Navarro arrived on the scene the Chili Peppers were never the same.

 

[lades]

Captain and Tennille. Everything after "Muscrat Love" is unlistenable crap.

Styx--Suite Madam Blue, Lorelei, etc. compare to any junk off Paradise Theater--'nuff said

Journey--The days with Aynsley Dunbar on drums vs. Open Arms--no contest.

3. REO Speedwagon. Their live You Get What You Play For bears no resemblance whatsoever to the garbage on "Hi Infidelity." Download Golden Country or Like You Do to hear what REO used to sound like. God, what a sellout. Back in the day I watched them blow Aerosmith off the stage at Merriweather Post Pavillion. Of course most of Aerosmith was in, or headed to, rehab

On the other hand, Dire Straits Love Over Gold album indicates the band's desire to stick to it's guns despite pressure to change it's sound.
