Bands that change their style

And YES THRICE! -fanboy~

baik ah THRICE! yeah

i've always liked ATREYU but their recent album very rock. not so much metalcore. the positive thing is that they didn't transform completely like other metalcore to mainstream kind of bands.
 
i'd say bullet for my valentine.
they're getting softer! noooo

and for their video for 'waking the demon', they dubbed the screams to clean vocals. what the heck. :( so sad.
 
i won;t say sell out...change ,yes....mature,yes

every band matures and at some point of time,there will be change,whether drastic one or alittle but change is inevitable i guess. I won't want to buy and album similar too that of the former ones.

thrice is awesome and i love the way they are so experimental.different from album to album,i haven't got round getting the alchemy index but four parts,four different vibes...haha..thats amazing..IMO
incubus is simply phenomenal.
a7x..waking the fallen was good but C.O.E signify that they have more to show than the latter albums.
underoath,yea they were deathmetal but like what henryvelge said,half the band left but now,imo they are simply better from album to album.'They're Only Chasing Safety' ,'define the great line' and 'Lost in the Sound of Separation'..dude those three albums don't exactly appeal to many teens IMO .

i don;t think they change for "the sick of money, and not for the love of music". Underoath are awesome and talented and i don't think they earn much anyways compared to the click five or boy bands or any popstar so that totally rules out the 'sick of money' part.

click five is good too...catchy...haha..nice.

I agree with you zullio. They sound different than all their previous albums but I'm liking the new album very much. Very good melodies for guitar and vocals.

To add, Silverstein sounds different too. I feel that the new album is rushed. Some songs are heavier, some are punk-ish. Not as quality as the previous two albums.

Who agrees Funeral for a Friend changed their style?.
 
Mus: haha FFAF!! as each release goes, the rock-ier they get.. no more straight-up post-hardcore.. sad. but im preferring their latest release, "Memories and Humanities" compared to Tales..

and yeah, atreyu is much more melodic now.. and you can see that change eversince brandon saller started having more singing parts..
 
I've heard the latest release, quite good. I still prefer Hours. That's the best post-hardcore album FFAF had.

Yup, agree with that bro. Brandon Saller has great vocals. I will put him as my top 5 vocalist if he didn't play the drums. :D
 
haha. Brandon Saller ftw!

for me, Hours is 2nd. my fave FFAF album would be Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation.
 
atreyu changed.
nightwish changed.
in flames changed.
metallica changed.
A7X changed.
sonic syndicate changed.
even dream theater changed.


looks like obama's right.
 
I'm so easy-going, that as long as I like it, I welcome the change. But I'll elaborate on some:

1. In Flames. What the hell happened to melodic death metal? It's become so cheesy and mediocre compared to other melodeath bands. For me, the best melodeath band has to be Insomnium, Hypocrisy and Dark Tranquility.

2. Hypocrisy. I like their new stuff, but I still prefer the era where they played flat-in-your-face death metal. Hypocrisy's an excellent melodeath band, but they were even greater as a death metal band in my opinion.

3. Testament. I like their new stuff more than their old stuff. Simply because their newer stuff is more brutal, and more catchy, at least to my ears, but they've always been an awesome band. Hell, they're the band that got me into metal!

4. Darkthrone. Okay with both, I guess, but as a black metal band, there were better bands than Darkthrone. Don't flame me but their early stuff doesn't strike me as very good. Boring for the most part, at least to me. So I welcome the change. Something about it I like very much.

5. Satyricon. Don't like the change. They should go back to black metal like 'Mother north'. They have some awesome recent tracks but most of them are generic and boring to my ears.

6. Linkin Park. Welcome the change. When they played nu-metal, I'd name Blindspott, Deftones and Adema as far superior. Their nu-metal was too mainstream and very boring and slow to my ears. But their new stuff is hard to beat. Very interesting stuff on the Minutes to Midnight album, I like it.

There. All my personal opinions, and I acknowledge that, so you'd be immature to flame me for my personal opinions. :mrgreen::mrgreen:
 
but most of the bands i heard off have become more minimalist lah
but i've no idea how to explain.

but it's quite interesting to noe that at every turn of the decade, there will be something like a new movement of music.
like 70s was the disco. 80s was the rock 90s was grunge and 00s, well i've no idea.
haha
 
Off topic but I am thinking of ways to make money eventhough I have no family to feed or rents to pay :D
 
radiohead has changed drastically every single album, and i love every single one of them. :D i don't see what the problem is with their electronic stuff, i thought hail to the thief and in rainbows were excellent albums.

also when you guys say metallica do you mean st. anger? Because I think death magnetic sounds pretty close to what they were doing before crap like reload. >_<

Most older fans of Metallica will say that the last decent album was Justice For all... the 'Metallica' black album was the one where they really started to change their style and get mainstream success.

Death Magnetic is nothing like any of the stuff from Justice and the prior albums. It's pants.

Oh, and I hated In Rainbows. Best Radiohead album (and contender for one of the best all time albums) is OK Computer.

Yeah I think OK Computer was an incredible album, but it doesn't take anything away from in rainbows imo, which is a great record in its own right.
