What went wrong?

[Nominus Experse]

Flogging Molly:
There first two albums were amazing. They perfected the notion of joining the rebelious and raucous nature of punk with Irish and Celtic songs and jogs. Spoons and guitars, whiskey and flutes, all with a voice that only a mother could love. It makes you think of seas and pirates, jigs and pubs, rebels and chaos...

But then their newest album came - Within a Mile of Home. What happened to the greatness I just spoke of you might ask? It was lost with guest singers and musicians accompanying a boring album. The songs were mediocre at best save for one (seven Deadly Sins), and all the rest were far too light, repititive, outright boring, and/or lacking of any means of punk, raucous antics, etc... I wish to have bands evolve and grow, but nor do I wish to have them neglect their greatness for <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">.


Metallica pisses me off now.

And ever since his album Fragile, Trent Reznor (NIN for those who are uninformed/uneducated) has become a sad, pathetic, lesser version of what he once was. He was Industrial. He was smurfing awesome. But ever since Fragile, he's sucked more and more, and With Teeth was the worst thing that ever smurfing happened, I swear. The raw, pure nature of his songs are now mediocre pop-esque crap.

Marilyn Manson is bothering me also. I want more Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals, not him lying around pretending to philosiphize about Celebretanism and metaphysics.

Greenday is, simply and nicely put, ridiculously stupid now.

My Chemical Romance has become <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">. The Black Parade is a complete and utter letdown. It's filled with happy, new Greenday sound, Falloutboy and Angels and Airwaves influences. That right there explains what has happened to MCR.

What happened to their ability to bridge the gap between rock, punk, and emotive music and mesh them together to create something that wasn't power-pop? What they are now is sad and pathetic. One listen to Dead! after you listen to You Know What They do to Guys Like us in Prison or Demolition Lovers and you will know the horrors of that which I speak.

I hate them now and wish to burn my shirt that bears their name lest I be shamed.

Blink 182.

[Spiffing Cheese]

Less Than Jake. Honestly, their actual songwriting has improved, I give them full credit for that, but with the disappearance of the horns and trumpets from their stuff, their poor guitar playing is really shown up. Their songs tend to sound much the same now, which is really unfortunate, since during their ska punk era, they were utterly awesome.

I completely agree with you.

Eminem.

Don't get me wrong, i think he's a genius and his freestyles are the best but after "The Marshall Mathers" his stuff has gone down hill. Ok, "The Eminem Show" was pretty good, but nowhere near as good as his previous two albums and Encore, pretty much sucked.

He should go back to pissing people off.

I agree, he was AWSOME back with the slim shady LP and Marshal mathers, after that I lost all intrest.

blink 182 they sold out and went kinda emoish

[Wolf Kanno]

I need to add U2 to this list, they were really good in the beginning and the Joshua Tree was a good album, but they never really got back their youthful flair. Throw in the fact that they got even more preachy about their beliefs and I quickly lost interest. I still will listen to their new stuff once in a while but it's definetly not as good as before.

[GeneralSapphire]

There are quite a few for me!!!!!I used to like Dido, but i dont really anymore i prefer Evanescence and Within Temptation!!!!!
I think i just moved on in music sense!!!!!!!

[BarelySeeAtAll]

i liked one person, a person i am too ashamed of to put dwn, as i am not a chav at all, i hate them now, but when i was a bit younger, i used to like, eminem help me!!!!its a disgrace.

Okay ... has bugger all to do with the subject at hand ...

But I too would like to add Blink to the list. They did go so mature and its like where has the funny slapstick, eg, "All the Small Things" gone?! I barely listen to them now.

yes it does, i used to like eminem, but i dont anymore, because i turned grunger/goth

What you hate Eminem because you changed your fashion sense? I liked Eminem once, but I dislike him now cause he's gone boring ...

[Captain Maxx Power]

Probably Korn I'd say. Last time I checked they'd lost a guitarist and made a post-industrial trash album a la HIM. Not good.

[look_out_below]

Nickleback. I love their first 2 CDs but everyone after that just kind of sucked. The first 2 CDs had creative songs but after that all their songs just sort of became the same and were also overplayed on the radio stations.

[YTDN]

Fergie. When she was in the Black Eyed Peas, she rocked. However, when she went solo, I learnt to hate her.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Metallica
Children of Bodom
Avenged Sevenfold


I don't dislike them, just their new material.

For all three bands, I think they're new music is just flat out bad.

Metallica let the stupid shrink mess with them and turn them into pansies.

Children of Bodom went all industrial sounding and lost a lot of the insane riffs and energy.

Avenged Sevenfold just kind of lost it.

He's really rested on his laurels. "Oh, people used to like me whining about my crackwhore wife and bad mom and how much I love my daughter (and rap about subjecting her to horribly violent situations)? Okay I'll keep writing all of my songs about them. Over. And over. And over. And over."
