Good to Bad?
What's the deal with bands making certain albums that are near perfect, and then just...mehhh the rest of the way? Killers for example, and in my opinion Skillet-
|
some bands lose momentum or just can't live up to the hype. :/
|
Most bands do this along the way.
|
Snoop Dogg will never make anything nearly as good as Doggystyle. :(

Truthfully, we can't expect people to stay the same throughout their entire lives.
People grow up, think different things, write different music. As much as the fans are disppointed, it makes sense. And fans should be paying attention to things like this. |

I would relate Bloc Party to this. Silent Alarm was great but like the Killers their last albums have slowly gotten worse.

on top of that it could easily be argued that combining "use your illusions" (which is way easier in the age of digital music) into one album's worth of material would result in another great album. after all that (and the millions of sales those 4 albums collected) yeah they went to sh!t with "the spaghetti incident", although i'm pretty sure "chinese democracy" would have been successful and received positively had it been released 10 years ago. i'm just razzing you :p: or maybe i'm missing the point of the thread, every band goes to crap eventually. i thought this was about bands that released 1 great debut album then never came close again. |

as for the point of this thread, i see it as bands who do have multiple good releases, (i.e. Gun's N Roses), but then fail to live up to that again |

Anyway, I think in many cases bands grow and their albums get progressivley...not better per say...but more mature. Ex. Brand New |

I thought the Use Your Illusion albums were great personally.
Spaghetti Incident was pretty sh*tacular though. |
The Strokes, anyone?
|
Never heard of them.
|
i'm still trying to figure out if this is a serious thread or not. since when do bands break up because they're tired of producing good music?

But anyway but yea, this usually happens with not only music but with movies and T.V. show seasons Like Rocky, what the hell have they done to him... But yeah, Weezer and Greenday really went down the wrong road. |

The best example from this decade is Hundred Reasons. Their debut album Ideas Above Our Station is a classic, but everything they've released after that is enough to send you to sleep... |
Blue Cheer released vincebus eruptum and inside/outside, then turned into a more mediocre steppenwolf.
|
Quote:
Another good example is the Coral - brilliant debut, the followup was a mixed bag and for some reason they decided to get more and more boring from there. |
Death From Above 1979 suffered from this to the extreme.

they still tour constantly, and ****ie peterson is still pretty badass. As far as studio albums they only got those two though. ...while I'm here, I'll throw cheap tricks first three records into the mix. |
