Electric Light Orchestra -- Continually morphs drastically from album to album through the first five albums. Then they plane out with three identical-sounding mid-period albums ( Face The Music, A New World Record, and Out of the Blue). Then they change (for worse, and went disco) with Discovery, then into early electronica with Time, then culminate into techno-pop with Secret Messages and Balance of Power...a strange romp from front to back
Queensryche - went from early hair band to prog
Iron Maiden - also went prog in the last 15 years
Soundgarden --- During their hey-dey, I thought they improved with each subsequent album.
Stone Temple Pilots -- Tried to break away from the angry over-done "Yeaaarh" 90s sound on their third album but went back to it on No. 4 because the previous album was poorly received...at least they tried
Most industrial bands morphed with technological improvements.......just follow Frontline Assembly's discography from MIDI/analog into 90s digital
