When Bands Change Their Sound...

Sometimes a lack of change can be just as bad... I don't know about their latest offering (I haven't listened to it), but Flogging Molly started to get a bit stale by the time they reached Within a Mile of Home. And I really enjoyed their first few albums... I'm still curious to hear them live.

My favorite band (Kaizers Orchestra) has morphed a bit over the last 5 or so years thanks to popularity and using different producers. The album that is now my favorite (Maestro) was initially really hard for me to listen to, because it departed quite a bit from their normal stuff, and Maskineri even more so. Yet I find myself listening to those two more than their older ones.

I would venture to say that Rammstein has changed a bit over the years, but to my ears they've only gotten better (more interesting music, new instruments brought into the mix).

Muse... remains to be seen. I'm not so hot on their latest song, but maybe I need some time with it. The last two albums were instant likes, but rumor has it that they're using more orchestra, which is usually a good thing for me.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm actually really digging USoE... and to be honest I've only listened to Uprising once. They're my second favorite band, so I doubt I'll dislike the album And I'm really excited for the orchestra stuff. I mean, that's why I like them in the first place...it's just more of a good thing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
