You assume they did this only to make money. I think otherwise. It's like saying Tegan and Sara "sold out" because they made a catchy album...or an even better example, that The Rapture sold out with Pieces of the People We Love. They just decided to go in a different direction. I appreciate both Echoes for it's breakthrough impact and POTPWL for it's pop/dance qualities.

Well, see when a fan likes a band, and then that band goes and releases a shit album the fan isn't going to be doing cartwheels now are they?

I think you're in the minority there.

Didn't you make a thread on why you hate Metallica/Iron Maiden? And pop today is a completely superficial genre, so you know theres a difference between hating that and death metal.

Yah, like 2 years ago. Besides, that was an exception to a general rule, Metallica I hate out of principle, I don't hate their music per se. Iron Maiden is a joke band that everyone should ridicule. :-|
And pop was ALWAYS a superficial genre, god
damnit. >:[
