I hate artists that say "I want to change my sound every album" because you know they A.) can't and B.) are just saying it to sound artistic and edgy. Its cliche and dumb.
Most recently Howie Day (who's intolerable from the get go) said this and im thinking "I'd bet you can't play any other genre." In all honesty, he plays guitar and I think its hardest to play funk jazz or metal on guitar. I'd put down good money that says not only does he not listen to that, but that he can't play it anyway.
Similar to this is "were gunna take it to the next level on our next CD." Most bands that say something this vauge are making **** up hoping people will buy their albums. You don't have fore though, you write abstract songs about the same crap everyone else did. Next level for most acts that say that means more commercial. Instead of next level I wish they'd say next tax bracket.
