Members Elliott Damage Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 What are some bands you used to love but let you down as time progressed. my #1 is Weezer. Matt Sharp era Weezer is some of my favorite music ever. After that, completely let me down. Anybody have any other examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleStrat Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 Smashing Pumkins - Adore and every thing after. Alice In Chains- When Cantrell stared singing more Korn- Everything after their first album Janes Addiction- When they started selling their music for commercials Stp- Most of there stuff on and after Four NIN- Some of the Downward Spiral and most of the stuff after The Darkness- The second album I could go on but i'll get depressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CicadaSilence Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 Tool - Way too "metal" these days. I like everything up to Aenima. The production on the more recent albums is way too clean and crisp; I think that their music needs the murky production that made Aenima so engrossing. Calla - I liked their first few albums. Lo fi textures, loops, a lot of reverb, and just a general spooky ambience. Now they're just getting kind of boring and radio-friendly. NIN - That last album just straight up sucks. The lyrics are {censored}ing atrocious. It's like reading the journal of a pre-pubescent NIN fan, only somehow Trent thought they were good enough to use for song lyrics. I think he's stagnating in the idea that he has to write for a certain audience. The songs are really bland, outside of one or two exceptions, and the production is kind of stale and uninteresting compared to his previous efforts. Maybe the next album will redeem my opinion, but I'm not counting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't feel it anymore change and move on. If people don't like it screw them. I can't believe more people can't see through that album.

Interesting. 10,000 Days is probably my favorite to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe more people can't see through that album. Yup. I'm assuming he's making enough money that he could probably put out a funk or disco album, and tell everybody to {censored} off if they didn't like it. He should try writing something about how miserable he isn't, and see what happens. Or at least write about politics, which is something that a lot of other angsty bands seem to do when they grow up and stop being angry at their ex-girlfriends.

Members tocs100 Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 Any metal/hard rock band that was good up to '85-'86 sucked after '85-'86. I mean the Tipper Gore thing was a lousy move, but WTF happened to the MUSIC? It became mostly whiny, glossy, scarf-twirling bull{censored}! (OK, Motorhead's an exception, but one can't live on a one makes-me-want-to-learn-it-song per album.) The grunge stuff was cool to zone-out to, but I can only name two songs from it I wanted to learn("Rooster" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit").

Members hempathy Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 I went to see Tool Last week. I was expecting perfection due to their reputatioin of being "The tightest band in the universe". All I got was a completely stoned guitarist constantly drifting out of time an ego maniacal lead singer strutting and dancing like a chicken on crack and the worst stage banter I have ever heard. Not only that, it was a short set, they were late on stage and it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PFDarkside Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 Zakk Wylde/BLS... I know no one here will admit to liking him, but I think his work with Ozzy set a new benchmark for heavy tone. P&G was a cool idea and Book of Shadows is an OUTSTADING acoustic album. I loved Sonic Brew, heavy riff music that was no holds barred, in the vein of COC and Down. Every album and show since then his disappointed me more and more. I've seen every show in Detroit (excepting Ozzfest) and although the fan base is getting bigger and bigger, his audience is getting dumber and dumber, the music is getting worse and worse and his dumb, drunk, caveman shtick is SO old. I miss that first BLS tour when they came out, no image and just rocked. Actually with the exception of a handful of bands (Floyd, Tool) I always seem to like a band's first record best. I love the youthful energy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jackpotjewell Posted June 17, 2006 Members Share Posted June 17, 2006 Red Hot Chili Peppers. But I'm not sure if it's the band as much as maybe my tastes have changed a little from when I was younger. I loved everything they did up to and including BloodSugarSexMagik, but after that, I just couldn't get into it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
