Ha. An alliteration, you like that BITCH!? Anyway... It's all going to hell.
It seems like a lot of bands I liked have been changing their styles on their newest albums. NEVER for the better. Guess their old sounds that got them where they were just weren't good enough. Who, you may ask, has been doing something so stupid?
Green Day:
Used to sound like: Radio punk
Now sound like: 70's folk music
Their newest album, Warning, sounds like fucking Bob Dylan. This may not be bad if you like Bob Dylan, but to those who've come to love the three chord guitar mashing of the old Green Day, this is a hideous mutation.
Garbage:
Used to sound like: Female Industrial Rock
Now sound like: Depressed 50's pop music
I used to call Shirley Manson the female Trent Reznor. Quite high praise indeed. She also used to be pretty damn hot, I mean just look at that pic on the left! Yum!
Then something bad happened. This picture should speak for itself. (She's the one that's not black or Elton John...) Her music also changed for the worse. C'mon, girl! If I wanted to listen to depressed pop music from the 50's, I'd... shoot myself...
Our Lady Peace:
Used to sound like: Themselves
Now sound like: Creed minus Jesus
Who would have thought the new album would eat so much cock? I bought it the day it came out because I've loved every other album they've put out except the first. I at first thought I popped the wrong CD in since the whole band dynamic changed from their other stuff. I looked into it and found that their lead guitarist had left, and the singer decided to make the lyrics easily decipherable so that everyone could understand them. (I.E. Dumb them down a whole shitload.)
Stabbing Westward:
Used to sound like: A lighter version of Nails
Now sound like: They used to, but add a Backstreet Boy or three.
Why these guys changed is a mystery to me. The other guys I could see. They may have wanted a style change, I dunno. For some odd reason though, these guys decided to take all the rock out of the album and shaft everyone with every track being a power ballad!
Celldweller:
Used to sound like: The one good Slipknot song mashed together with KMFDM
Now sound like: Slipknot/Mudvayne/Mushroomhead (They're all the same band anyway...)
"Whoo! I used to be industrio-tastic, but now I just pound shitload of drums and growl like Slipknot! We don't need real music anymore! Besides, it's not like you can make out the other instruments anyway over the cacophony of what sounds like shit blowing up!"
Goldfinger:
Used to sound like: Punk
Now sound like: Happier, friendlier to animals, dishwasher and mainstream safe punk-ish stuff.
Another reason to hate PETA. They wrecked an awesome band with their lies and holier than thou-attitudes...
Gravity Kills:
Used to sound like: Ohgr/KMFDM/Nails/Pitchshifter
Now sound like: Shit.
I can't quite describe it. The band seems to have left their new album unfinished. Considering they broke up right after, I'm not surprised. It's too bad. There guys rocked.
Insane Clown Posse:
Used to sound like: Funny rock/rap run through a carnival
Now sound like: Really pathetic, grasping versions of their old selves
What the fuck? We're religious now, and not funny! We fired the guy that made all the background music and got us where we are! YAY!
Linkin Park:
Used to sound like: Musical youth metal
Now sound like: Non musical nu-metal
I first heard of these guys way back when they were called Hybrid Theory and were on MP3.com. Needless to say, I was impressed as hell with them. Soon after they got signed and changed their name. I waited for their first album to come out and wasn't dissapointed. It's was good, but not great. Then the remix album, Renaimation, was released and it blew me away. Linkin Park fans hated it because the music had become industrial, and people who hated Linkin Park refused to give it a chance because as we all know, when something becomes popular, it's not cool anymore.
Zeromancer:
Oh wait, wrong article. This is my current favorite band. As far as I'm concerned, this is pretty much the last bastion of good heavy musical music. Think Nails crossed with Orgy and you'd have a decent start point. I can not recommend them enough. It's really too bad that their CD isn't in Canada. I hafta special order the sonofabitch.
Other Hideous Shit?
Tool, A Perfect Circle, Radiohead: This is not music. Music is supposed to compliment other sections of it, not just toss in random fucking instruments and some guy who can sing, but chooses not to do it with the music.
And hey! For pseudo-intellectual lyrics, look no further! The posers among you will pretend to find deep meaning where there is none! This fits with who they market it to. Psuedo-intellectuals. You know the type, they love David Lynch and wait to hear if everyone else liked something before they say they hate it.
99% of Rap:
Question: Why the hell would people listen to a guy talking over a "song" with two instruments in it?
Answer: People are stupid. Seriously, how many intelligent people do you know that listen to rap? If you're like everyone else I've talked to, it's none. It's music for the stupid, pure and simple. And seriously, do you people not know how rediculous you look?
After all of this, is it any wonder that record sales have dipped so much? The music people are making is shit! Is it possible to be a fan of a band without liking their music? I don't know, but I'm going to go cry in a corner and listen to Roxette.
