Funny that you bring up Metallica.
You see, their albums DON'T all the sound the same, and it's that very reason that they have abandoned so many of their fans.
Changing your sound can be a bad thing, in some cases.
It depends on the music, if you want to take yourself seriously as an artist, you don't want to repeat yourself.
Bands like AC/DC and Van Halen, are just entertainers, they don't consider themselves artists, and theres nothing wrong with that either, rock n roll at it's core is about having fun, the same criticisms people make of AC/DC and Van Halen could be made of Chuck Berry and Little Richard, but no one has the balls to do that.
