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.

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.

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

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: Last edited by mitchables; 04-28-2007 at 11:16 PM. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Silverchair has actually matured and progressed rather nicely. In fact I just bought their latest release called "Young Modern", and it's really rather different, not expected at all, but nice to see them trying new things too. They went from a band that were young and tried to sound way too much like most of their influences which was normal for their age at the time, to churning out efforts that started to showcase what they had to offer aside from sounding like their influences. Frogstomp is actually their worst effort, but damn good for their age. They improve afterwards. If anything it was Bush that regressed. As did Live. And I'd have to say the Pumpkins started to regress as well once they decided to go all industrial/gothic. |

I somewhat agree with Silverchair, mainly because I absolutely adored Frogstomp (and Freak Show to a lesser extent), then simply couldn't get into their later stuff at all, and I tried.
AND YES PAPA ROACH. Like they were heavier than most stuff I listened to at the time but I still kinda liked them, then I saw a video of a new song by them like a month ago and I swear to god I thought it was MCR or something. Awful. (I like MCR but awful that a band would change so much) |
