List some bands that were good at first, then overtime turned into crap
 

or in a lighter term..watered-down

discuss

Airfooted Assassins.

Hopesfall and Underoath. I don't really consider their new stuff crap, but it's like night and day comparing their new material to the old.

DIE :mad:

The Killers
Good Charlotte
Jimmy Barnes

Children Of Bodom

1st 3 major release albums were fucking amazing, 4th was good, went to shit after that.

In Flames, for that matter.

Not that I mind their newer stuff, but it ain't the same.

Definitely agree with both Fly and KK.

I'll name one of the most obvious ones.

Metallica

WORD

The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Sparta, and Thursday all spring to mind.

All four bands' earlier CDs are fucking incredible compared to the dogwater they're churning out at the moment. :$

My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy

Nah, MCR got better. Instead of only liking a couple songs, I like pretty much their entire newest CD.

Example, just for you guys.

The Used:

First song is off their self titled album. Second one is off their second.

Watered down a few steps, much?

Yeah, The Used was awesome.. don't like their new stuff at all.

not a big fan of the new mcr album

Yeah, I'm gonna dl The Used's new CD when it gets released just to see if they've made any re-progress, but I'm betting not.

Also, I felt like doing Sparta too, for an audio retrospective of the "other" guys from At The Drive In. Wiretap Scars was an amazing CD. I actually liked it better than Mars Volta's De-Loused In The Comatorium. Then, Sparta released Porcelain, which lost a little of the charm of Wiretap, but was still a very solid album. Then, I don't know what happened. Sparta's guitarist quit to go play for the Mars Volta and the guy from Engine Down joined the band and Threes, what should have been an incredible collaboration (because Engine Down is dreamy goodness), wound up being a horrible crooning power-chord driven exploration of what it's like to be a terrible CD.

And so, from Wiretap Scars to Threes we go:

Bummer. :(

Agreed there. I thought TBS' first album was great, but don't like their new stuff too much.

And I think Thursday's first 2 albums are awesome as well, but I did not like their last 2 CDs at all.

Guns n Roses comes to mind, not exactly crap, but are definately watered down now, or atleast, 'different'.

Definitely agree with the following three:


Metallica
In Flames
Killers

Oh yeah, Metallica definately.

The Killers haven't really gone downhill. They're mediocre, but always were.

I was gonna argue Thursday, but don't know any of their recrods past like 2001. So I realised it'd be fucking stupid to do so, as 6 years is a long time to go downhill.

KK what did you neg rep me for? I did'nt even post in this thread!




















:shifty:

The Academy is...
The Mars Volta
Fall Out Boy
Thursday - to an extent, I like some of the songs on A City by the Light Divided

MCR and TBS are as good as they've always been :$

I hugely agree with both of those...Even though I hate Fall Out Boy to death, there is always someone at work that plays that CD every night..

I was very disapointed with the new Academy is... cd...pure crap

I will add to the mix...

Limp Bizkit
Kid Rock
Eighteen Visions

add atreyu too

Green Day
Incubus

For you:

From Full Collapse to A City By The Light Divided...

:'(

Metallica
Limp Bizkit (yeah liked their older stuff)
Ben Harper has gone a bit downhill (wasn't that impressed with both sides of the gun)
Massive Attack :(
Our Lady Peace

Thursday is the best example I can think of. A City By The Light Divided is one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

I wouldn't say The Mars Volta, though I agree De-Loused is by far their best album. They're still ridiculously good. The same goes for Incubus. They peaked with Morning View but they're still good.

Head Automatica. First album was great, second album almost made me hate my man crush Darryl Palumbo.

:y:

Chili Peppers
Korn
Limp Bizkit.

I'm the only one who like A City By The Light Divided :'(

I would shoot you, but killing the messenger is a big no-no on the Evil Overlord List.

Lucky we're not in Sparta then, huh? :shifty:

...Yes...

Would you step backwards a little? Towards that big well-like thing?

first one to come to mind is silverchair. frogstomp was perfect then everything after was mediocre at best.

secondly, weezer. the blue album is something i still listen to on a regular basis but then the green album was SHIT. they went from good alternative band to top40 pop band.

oh yeah, and another one papa roach. their first album which was self titled had a bunch of good songs but now the stuff i have heard from them sucks terribly, including the song used for RAW.

that is all i can think of for now.

correction to my previous post. their good stuff was on a cd called "infest"

I was actually going to suggest Weezer, though I like pretty much all of their albums anyway. Peaked at Pinkerton, no doubt.
