Yeah but the definition of "good music" is very subjective. As I said, I really liked Load/Reload especially what James did with the vocals ie. the arrangments etc. but some people hated it plain and simple and trashed it all over the internet.
Same could be said about St. Anger. Some people like the raw sound some people were like, wtf?
I don't think you can keep all of your fanbase unless you're not willing to take any chances and play it safe and even that doesn't guarantee a success.
