Thank you for including amo. I've enjoyed much of BMTH's work, including the Post Human: Survival Horror EP, but I have no use for amo.
If I had to pick a band that I used to like and switched up their sound for the worse, I would say Finger Eleven. They were never amazing, but they were surprisingly good for a nu metal and, and then they made money off of "One Thing" and swerved hard into electronic radio rock. Sigh.
One more note: as a longtime solider in the MCRmy, I actually love Danger Days. A lot of the lyrics are darker than most people realize; the whole album is a testament to how much MCR loves the Lyrical Dissonance trope, and I think it works.
Finger Eleven KEPT changing which was a huge issue. I was a massive fan of F11 during The Greyest Of Blue Skies days.
Linkin Park failed terribly with the 2010’s. You should do a One More Light Regretting The Past.
@@RockedNet where do you get all those corey taylor photos id love to have one om a die hard fan of slipknots corey taylor i love seeing him in any masks he wears hes my favorite singer what do you think about mushroomead latest album a wonderful life do you love it or hate it which album was better the end so far or a wonderful life
@@Taylor_Swift_Archive hey man linkin park trys new stuff dont hate tthe band i love for lots of reasons they got hated for making minutes to midnight and yes i love that album so dont mention one more light look at minutes to midnight it has songs that would sound like they would appear on one more light
"You're the 'oo-wa-ah-ah' band." - Quote of the video
They’re Down with the Sickness man!
Agreed lol
It's not like anything they've ever done was creative or innovative anyway. They've always been bland, uninspired, and uninspiring.
First one that comes to mind is Megadeth's "Risk" from 1999. I was actually depressed for days because I was so excited for a new Megadeth album, then...this. I actually halfway as a joke took the CD back to the store, and when they said they could only take it back if it was defective, I said "It IS defective. It sucks." 🤣
Agreed. Almost as bad as my reaction to St. Anger. I hadn't heard any of it when I bought it. I opened it immediately at the mall and popped it in my walkman... almost tossed it in the trash at that very moment 😭
It wasn't supposed to be a Megadeth album but got released that way.
@@k2bny St. Anger deserves a official remake. I pursosely listen on cheap headphones. That makes the snare more bearable LOL
@@flexxx222 I wouldn't mind that to some degree. There was some potential
it has some good songs though. not as bad as Super Collider to me. Prince of Darkness is a song i reallyyy like
Johnathon Davis has actually gone on record MANY times saying that he loves electronic music from Industrial to Trance and House, and when Dubstep came out, it blew him away. PoT was less about Korn chasing the trend and more JD getting to finally be part of a culture he had cherished for such a long time, making music in a genre he always wanted to play around with. Even after PoT, JD has made sure to implement a bunch of electronic elements in their later albums, including on tracks like Never Never, Black is the Soul, and Worst is On Its Way. PoT may have been a commercial failure, but it is FAR from something JD regrets, and honestly, I'm happy for the guy that he could have that experience and still go on to make awesome albums with the crew.
IIRC he called The Downward Spiral his favorite album.
Love that album. Made sense to me🤷🏾♂️👍🏻
I hated the inclusion of that sound in Korn. But if they love it, then more power and respect for them going there.
I still think bands should release music like this under a different name or something. But thats just me.
PoT is my favorite Korn album, and I've been a fan since the self titled album released. It was new and fresh, and combined two genras I loved in a way I liked. I love Johnathan Davis other features in EDM, like the track he did with Skynd.
that just proves the guy is a moron lol
I actually liked the Turbo album. Painkiller was a whole other level and so damn awesome.
I think every album with Rob is great!! The only albums I don't care for are those with Ripper.
Interesting that Ram It Down is not mentioned in the transition from Turbo to Painkiller.
Night Crawler 🤘
Jugulator is amazing agressive as fuck
Turbo ain't too bad, for sure.. has its moments. But yeah, Painkiller is royalty
9:27 Alright, Turbo was definitely a mixed bag, but Turbo Lover still SLAPS
Definitely one of the few songs that counts.
@@RockedNet Reckless also qualifies (actually, I like most of the album, but it should have been more in the vein of that song, commercial but still hard rocking).
I probably like Turbo more than a lot of people but they definitely improved (and changed their sound yet again) by the time Painkiller came out only 4 years later.
Out In The Cold is my favorite off the record, Turbo is far from their worst without touching the Ripper Owen's material, Ram It Down is pretty bland with few kernels to enjoy
@@lordofscarletDemolition sucks, but I think Jugulator is a very underrated Judas Priest album. It’s easily in the top half of their discography in my opinion.
I said this when you asked about this originally: AMERICA by Thirty Seconds to Mars is a MAJOR example of this. 30STM experimented with some electronic and pop elements before, but that album completely abandoned the rock and turned into a Jared Leto solo project more than a band. And it's practically a family-only band by now too, since Tomo Milicevic, their long time guitarist, left during production. Not to mention, this was during the (still ongoing) "extreme ego insanity trip" phase of Jared Leto's career, so there's that. The best way to describe the album is a quote by Gregg Allman:
"That record sucked, man. It bit the dirt, and it didn't sell sh-t. There was one, maybe two decent songs on that record, but it was basically terrible, just awful."
And it's telling when one of those two decent songs is Monolith... which is an instrumental interlude.
Agreed, it’s absolute garbage.
Walk On Water is my guilty pleasure, I still listen to it from time to time. It takes me back to my middle school days (I’m a high school senior now). For me, it’s in the same category of “inoffensive, catchy pop” as, let’s say, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons or Counting Stars by One Republic.
AMERICA was my worst album that year for many reasons.
God that album sucks
@@martinhroch344 That's the other song, besides Monolith, that I don't mind too much. That at least felt like it had elements of early 30STM (or at least the band before this album), and gave me sort of confidence that the album would be okay before everything went down the toilet.
Music from The Elder by KISS definitely deserves a mention here. Their attempt at a prog rock fantasy themed concept album. It tanked so hard, they weren’t able to even tour off of it. It’s a. Very interesting listen.
IIRC, it didn't help that the record label threw-out the original track order and put in their own, completely wrecking the intended story.
Half of that album is good imo. The other half though is uh... well, it's there.
@@DrawtheCurtains when it’s heavy, it’s great. But when it’s not. Well. It’s certainly music.
I have always like The Elder but yeah it was a huge change. But what about Dynasty? Talk about trying to fit in to the current music style, but disco? Still I like that one as well just different.
@@NWGhost71 I actually love Dynasty. "I Was Made for Loving You" is a total throwaway but the rest of the album is great. "Magic Touch" has always been one of my favorite KISS songs.
My sister was a huge fan girl for MCR and she was so excited for Danger Days. She then got the album, listened once and literally threw it in the trash.
ME on the other hand? I loved it, and my sister along with a lot of other “real fans” bashed me and told me I wasn’t a “real fan” for liking it.
It was a nice change to something a bit more lively. But I can’t stand when bands stagnate in a bad way and felt MCR needed to change for at least one album to detox a little bit.
I loved the album as well.
Personally, I thought Black Parade was absolute garbage and so was everything else since. Bullets and Three Cheers were their only good albums.
I love all of their stuff so it's hard picking favorites. But for a while, it was danger days. Idc if it's more pop sounding, it fucking bops lmao.
Danger days is blast of nonstop energy and excitement. It still has MCR charm too. It's my favourite album from them
I don't like danger days tbh, my favorite of all time has to be probably the black parade because of how many times i listened to it, back-to-back and still found it awesome. Danger days is my second most listened to, and i think that even three cheers is better. Much richer replay value and overall sounds. I think if they took a little more time in the oven with it, it could have been way better.
Path of Totality is an AMAZING album. It's a constant rotation in my playlist.
I agree. I liked it.
Turbo I loved !!! Plus it was groundbreaking by using heavy techno dance loops and incorporating in Metal. It was the blueprint for Rammstein , NIN, Rob Zombie, Powerman, Stabbing Westword and more.
Turbo was my first Priest album and is still my favourite. It is just not your typical Priest music but it is great.
It's one of my favourite Judas priest albums. Hugely underrated.
Korn was always a band that prided itself on experimenting and shaking things up musically for metal, which is why I always respected Path of Totality’s existence despite not liking the album outside of “Get Up” being one of my biggest guilty pleasures.
And although I don’t view it as being as huge of a stretch in sound as a lot of people think, I also have the hugest soft spot for Turbo.
The Korn “Headless period” was definitely The band struggling with their identity, from See You On the Other Side being their most mainstream album to losing David Silveria and trying to go back to basics with the untitled album and Korn 3, thank God Head came back or who knows what else they would have made.
@@Malum09 true those years were not good to the band
@@manueltapia1859 i like some songs from each of those albums, but as a whole that's Korn's weakest era.
Think of it as a concept album. The songwriting is still solid and distinctively Korn. It’s not like they intended to become a dubstep act forever.
I really love “Pop a pill” from the Korn 3 album. Underrated AF
Motley Crue's Generation Swine album was just awful. Talk about an '80s rock band trying to appeal to the '90s crowd. Plus, VAN HALEN III was a mistake.
The motley crue album was bad, Nikki sixx'l has claimed roots in every genre going first 'we were definitely a punk band' then 'we were always a total metal band' then it was 'we were definitely in a grunge mindset'.....nope.
I loved it. I have never heard of Motley Crüe before that album though. Very industrial and grunge. Lol
Van Halen 3 is a terrible record by all means, and barely has any replay value. (I have a soft spot for “Year To The Day” but thats about it) I’m not a fan of the weird experimentation and tunings on the album especially EVH dropping his tuning down to A on some of the songs.
I don't mind swine man to be honest got some alright songs can keep Tommy stupid song and glitter the rest is alright.
That album is great. One of my favorites
Path of Totality was just what Korn needed to get reinvigorated! That was a fantastic album that was risky but fit their style.
Exactly, had any other band tried to do what they did they'd have likely failed, Korn embraced the change and it worked for them.
Also jd is a dj .. woah I see what I did there. Anyway he's always been into electronic music.
I love that album
It got me back listening to them!
Seriously. Path of Totality was not a change in style, it was an application of creativity.
Korn was always experimental. The untitled album was fever dream of soundscapes unlike anything they've ever made.
Each Korn album has a certain feel, and Path of Totality did just that. A bit of the electronic aspect has stuck around with their music, but as someone who is also a Daft Punk fan, I welcome it.
I do need to get around to listening to their recent albums more than I already have.
Danger days is excellent. After The Black Parade there was no way they could just make another emo album. The turn in pace was great.
Saaaaaame. It's so far out there, compared to the rest of their work, but that's what makes it for me, there was no way they could really top The Black Parade
Thankyou for mentioning whitechapel at the end there as an example of a deathcore band evolving and using clean vocals as a way to elevate the material. Kin and The Valley are two of my all time fav records, it's amazing when a huge gamble like that pays off.
Those albums are absolutely awful. Even live fans want to see somatic and exile era songs played
@@rossh2386 fair enough, I love the old stuff too, but I really appreciate the added emotional depth and maturity of the new material. Makes it much more replayable and they serve as fantastic gateway albums to death core as songs like The Ones who Made Us, To The Wolves, Forgiveness is Weakness, When a Demon Defiles a Witch, Bloodsoaked Symphony and We Are One are still heavy as fuck
@@rossh2386 no… they’re not lol. Not even close to awful. They’re not the old style sure. But that’s a good thing. All artists should change this long into their career. If they had that same sound as the old stuff on literally every album they’d have an incredibly small following these days. That shit would get real old. But objectively speaking, they’re incredible, well written, and emotionally impactful albums. There’s a million times more substance there than the old stuff. So no, not awful. You’re just picky.
The Valley was amazing! Kin had songs but didn't live up to The Valley. I love all of their old work too, but the Valley is a great example of them growing. Kin was kind of too far if that makes sense
Danger Days was actually the album that got me *into* MCR
Because comic book writer (and real life friend of Way) Grant Morrison mentioned the band and being in their music videos in an old interview
I'm happy that nowdays Danger Days has a better reception than the time it was released. I personally prefer it over the black parade, although I also love that album. Danger Days is not bad, it just came at the wrong time. Great video
Gerard probably should have realized that people expected a certain kind of tone from MCR and released the danger days as a Side Project
Like imagine if Green Day released Money Money 2020 under the Green Day Name
I feel like one of his comic book ideas got accidentally shuffled into ideas for MCR albums. I never really warmed up to it, I feel like it should've been a solo side venture or like, a multi-media thing w graphic novels and some bonus songs/visuals. Which it sorta became anyways.
I remember Linkin Park tried to change their sound twice. The first time was when dubstep was starting to get popular with their Recharged album and the second time started with Heavy, then One Final Light. Linkin Parks last album before Chester Bennington passed away.
They didn’t do a dubstep album or try to change to sound to jump on that trend, they simply did a feature with Steve Aoki, that’s it. That Exact same year they released The Hunting Party which is by far their most “rock” record they ever produced and that was very much not what the trend was at the time.
@@Chris24_ Ah, my mistake
@@comixproviderftw_02 all good bro, LP are a band that changed their sound a bunch of times(every single album after Meteora went in a different direction from the previous one) but I think I speak for all when I say One More Light is the only one that sees them ever so slightly trend hoping(putting it mildly when I say that lmao) and it not working at all. Sad that that’s their final album 😞
They never changed there style really, they never had really had a style,
@@theseth455 you’re right, I think it’s just them going for a more radio friendly album as apposed to them jumping on any trend.
Slayer - Diabolus In Musica is totally awesome and an underrated album. It is actually a lot better than many other albums from that era.
Agreed, I like South of Heaven, but it would make more sense on this list than Diabolus In Musica.
Right?? Diabolus is amazing
I agree! I prefer that dummer! Diablos and Divine in my opinion are their best albums!
@@deadeyedarwin they just slowed the tempo on South of Heaven, still heavy as f**k in a Sabbath sort of way. It was a change from Reign In Blood but not even close to being a failure.
100% true 🤘
I think it's great that bands try new things, I have more respect for the bands on this list than bands that stagnate and hold onto what made them successful, these bands were willing to take a risk and try to grow as musicians even if it didn't work out
Danger Days came out ten years too early. I relistend to it when all that shit happened around us and suddenly it hit differently.
Neil Young's rockabilly album is one of the strangest style changes in the history of rock and pop music
Not as strange as his new wave album, "Trans".
I'm one of the defenders of Korn's Path of Totality but I'm also just a sucker for mixing heavy music and electronic music so it hit that sweet spot for me.
PREACH!!!
Love electronnic and industrial, even some early synthwave. But I really couldn't listen to that album. I really don't like dubstep so i'd pass on that. I'd just throw some Skinny Puppy (one of davis' idodls) Ministry or KMFDM if I wanted some industrial.
Metal and electronic combined it GOD TEIR music.
It could've been trimmed down. One of the B sides was actually really good. But yeah, I liked the album for the most part. A few songs suffered from sounding similar to other songs on the album, but it made sense why they made it. It just leaned a bit too heavily on the electronics for most people.
Cryptopsy's "The Unspoken King" and Morbid Angel's "Illud Divinum Insanus" are two good examples of a band's change of sound sucking so much that the album(s) after backpedaled hard.
🙌🙌🙌🙌Yes on Cryptopsy ,man I remember when that happened.
Love this channel. The past few videos have been awesome 😁 I've been lucky enough to pick up some new suggestions to extend my music library. It was getting stale. Thank you for doing such a great job and congrats on gettin' hitched! I hope you two have a joyful holiday season and stay safe! 🕊❄⛄
I will defend Danger Days as a great album until I die.
Also, another example is Highly Suspect with MCID. The band was set to become one of the biggest new bands in rock, until Johnny Stevens decided to become a rapper and the band had to go along with it. So fans were treated with a hip-hop album, and not even a good one. The album single-handedly tanked the band’s success to the point where their new album, despite being decent, was a flop. I hope they can come back, but I’m not sure at this point.
I’m not gonna lie, I expected your album to be on here dog
I'll admit, I actually like listening to Dangers Days and I really hope they give us Danger Days 2: The Return Of The Draculoids 😂
Honestly, if you listen to Danger Days in full, it's not as happy as the first few tracks would have you believe. The concept of the album is about the Killjoys fighting a powerful mega-corporation (this and the setting of 2019 being a reference to Blade Runner), and all of them dying in the process. "I'll tell you all how this story ends, where the good guys die and the bad guys win," being a line that foreshadows this in "Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back." It's actually very bleak and still kind of fits into MCR's emo image, just in a different way. Also, the penultimate song on the album, "The Kids from Yesterday," is fucking heartrending.
You can’t tell me Linkin Park shouldn’t have had an honorable mention (twice). A Thousand Suns (2010) definitely divided their fan base with their electronic sound and One More Light (2017) had Coldplay sounding like Metallica.
BMTH’s amo wasn’t bad. Long term fans weren’t happy but it exposed them to a wider fan base. They went for a more pop oriented sound but they at least pulled it off unlike Linkin Park. Songs like “Wonderful Life”, “MANTRA”, and “sugar honey iced tea” are bangers for the heavier fans. It’s not a bad album, but definitely their most diverse.
In 1988, extreme metal pioneers Celtic Frost went with a more traditional (for the 1980's) heavy metal sound and a more glammy look with the album Cold Lake. Critics and core fans alike hated it.
I really can't get past the vocals on CL. The riffs aren't all that bad, but Tom's voice sounds like dogshit on it
Yeah, that was epically terrible CF album.... Cherry Orchards (((((shudder))))
I remember that one. I was like WTF?
I love everything Disturbed and Korn does they could do a country record and I would still love it
SAME! They could pull it off
Whatever Korn do it cannot be a disappointment
Ok but please don't do anything like Untitled and the dubstep album
I mainly like the debut and follow the leader. III is great.
@@SuperCrazyPsycho731 III Is Highly Underrated
One that comes to mind for me is Shallow Life by Lacuna Coil. It's a very divisive album for many fans. They went for a more pop rock sound than their usual gothic metal. The only song that had much staying power was Spellbound.
I don't hate it, but it's by no means my favorite Lacuna Coil album. I was glad when they went back to their heavier sound, especially with Delirium and Black Anima.
I actually liked Cristina's cover of "Enjoy The Silence," though. That song needed a solid metal cover.
Shallow Life is the last album I liked by any means. I actually used to know the band and have an autographed copy of In A Reverie. Unleashed Memories stayed in my cd player for a solid 6 months. After that era, everything just sounded flat.
Amo was BMTH’s first #1 album. As a big fan of the band, it took a few listens to get into it, and I’ll still never like some of the songs on that album but overall I think it’s pretty solid. That being said, Post Human: Survival Horror blows Amo out of the water.
I really liked Path of Totality, not only Narcissistic Cannibal, but other songs as well.
It was simply a good album.
Not sure if this counts or not but “Ghost” by Devin Townsend Project. It received acclaim by many critics and really showcases Devin Townsend’s music talent by doing the complete opposite of the Extreme Metal he’s known for and doing an album of folk rock and ambient music. However, it may have been too opposite for fans because it didn’t sell enough for him to make Ghost 2 like he wanted.
Seriously, check the album out, it’s really good!
Danger Days and Turbo are both solid albums imo. I don't *hate* Generation Swine or Into the Unknown, but they're certainly "I won't go out of my way to listen to them" albums.
I’d argue Theory of a Deadman would qualify for this list with their two pop albums, but that would imply their sound ever worked to begin with.
They’ve always sucked.
@Eclipse. I would argue that Theory Of A Deadman is miles better than anything by MCR or BMTH. And Theory are a very mid/average band, but yet they are like Mozart compared to MCR and BMTH.
@@nu-metalfan2654Bad opinion. BMTH and MCR’s worst moments are leagues ahead of anything Theory has done.
They really feel like trendhoppers.
"Butt rock is popular? We're gonna do butt rock. Butt rock is out and "edgy," borderline pop "rock" is in? Now we're gonna do borderline pop "rock." Being a dude bro sells? Well we're gonna have the dude broiest lyrics possible! Oh man, being political is popular now? Well now we're gonna be political, even if it clashes with our previous kind of lyrics."
I'll say it: I liked The Path of Totality.
I agree
I like it to. Definitely not their best but it includes some stand out tracks like Get Up, Narcissistic Cannibal, and Way Too Far especially
Same! I got to see them for the first time on that Tour and It kicked ass! I listened to that album nonstop that year lmao
Great video as always, man. Some bands that come to my head when I read the title:
-Coldplay going full cheese pop with their last album
-Bullet for my Valentine going "soft" with Gravity
-Fall Out Boy cashing in on mainstream attention on "Save Rock and Roll" and MANIA
-Green Day going Boomer Rock with Uno! Dos! and Tré! and then doubling down on father of all
-Linkin Park stepping away from their essence on One More Light.
And...well, it's not more like a "sound" but more of "essence", Gorillaz relying on their guests on humanz.
Gorillaz has always been guests. That is like the entire point..?
KISS - Dynasty/Unmasked...well, at least in America, this was actually their biggest success in Australia, but the pop/rock and rock-disco alienated a lot of their core fan base.
Foo Fighters - Medicine At Midnight. Dave Grohl decides that he loves disco and so he makes a (mostly) disco inspired album designed to be danced to. It just didn't work.
KISS - Music From The Elder. Although loved by some, it divided fans. It's basically KISS trying to be Yes and/or The Who. It's not playing to their strengths.
New Kids On The Block - NKOTB. A boy band tries to reinvent themselves as Gangsta Rappers.
KISS - Carnival Of Souls. This time they were trying to be Alice In Chains and/or Nirvana and/or Metallica.
Anthrax's Stomp 442 put them back in the small club scene.
Say what you want about Danger Days, but I think the visuals from that time period in MCR's history were great. I love the marching band uniforms from Black Parade as much as the next fan, but seeing the guys wear bright colors and have fun was really refreshing. The music was hit-or-miss for me, but I wouldn't mind if Gerard Way's red hair made a comeback.
Same tbh
At the time it came out I wasn’t huge on MCRs Danger Days but as an adult I LOVE this album.
Having listened to their first albums at the time they were relevant, makes me sad that they're known best for Black Parade. I had a lot of trouble coming around to it
Seems like that's the case w most ppl ! Including me
The Path of Totality polarised critics but I actually kinda enjoyed some of it. The dubstep and nu-metal combo actually works somewhat here. Strangely enough, this album first got me interested in the rest of Korn's records.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Linkin Park, they changed their music often and usually not for the better, especially One More Light.
I'll just point out Stabbing Westward's 2001 self-titles album. They dropped their darker synth sound, going for sonething closer to pop-rock. It was pretty reviled and was one of the factors that lead to the band's break-up. Thankfully, we got Chasing Ghosts this year, which is a much more fitting swan song.
To say that album was disappointing would be an understatement. SW doing a friggin' LOVE SONG?? C'MON guys! You're not Barry Manilow, last I checked. (Didn't help that it was only 10 songs @ a little over 45 minutes--they clearly were low on ideas at the time).
@@davidl570 They got talked into it by their new record label (Koch) who didn't think an undustrial album would sell anymore. Given that they split up soon after I'm guessing that album had everything going against it. Thank god Chasing Ghosts felt like a return to form.
@@drewtheunspoken3988 Okay, kind of figured that was the case! Thanks for the info.
Oh I LOVE Turbo! Danger Days is great as well. I also kinda like Simulation Theory 🤣 this was a wonderful video!
KoRn is my favorite band of all time! I'm a true long-time fan, I love them no matter what. I really enjoyed the Path of Totality, I thought it was a really cool combination.
Lol nah
@@powertrip8676 you're entitled to your opinion, just like I'm entitled to mine. To each their own. So...lol to you too.
I used to dislike PoT more, but hearing Untitled and Korn III, I came out respecting it more, Get Up and Narcissistic Cannibal still sometimes pop up on my playlists lol
@@D_d_t_d_D 2 of my favorite songs off the P.O.T! KoRn has so many albums, I can usually always find something I'm in the mood to listen to. 😊 Rock on, my friend! 🤘
Though their best track has to be on the self-titled album when you let it play long enough, and suddenly discover that somebody is really upset with someone named Jerry.
One example that immediately comes to mind is Crypropsy's The Unspoken King. A brutal / technical death metal band trying out some deathcore sounds. Needless to say, the reception wasn't particularly warm.
Holy shit, The Unspoken King could've been #1! What an absolute trainwreck...
Path of Totality was a really good album!..
Been a fan from the start, seen em live 3 X's...
Another Judas Priest example is Nostradamus in 2008 when they tried making a 100-minute prog concept double album. It does have its moments (I personally enjoy Prophecy, Death, and Persecution) but it had a real problem of similar-sounding songs and an overabundance on interludes. Definitely was an interesting idea, but Iron Maiden did it WAY better in '88.
Some people weren't that happy about silverchair indulging in psychedelic/dream pop for Young Modern and thought of it as The Dissociatives taking over what was originally a grunge band (though, I was into it).
First two tracks were very good.. but the rest was a waste. Don't blame them for evolving. Just wished that Daniel johns would get the band back together
Sonata Arctica have moved away from their original style, power metal but with more personal lyrics than that genre typically has. Most of their newer stuff is slower and less catchy. It's fine I guess but it's just not the same 😔 If i do hear a new song I like of theirs it's usually because it sounds like the older stuff.
Was that a recent video of Bad Religion playing a song off of Into The Unknown?!? I honestly never thought that would EVER happen
It was in 2015 if I'm not mistaken.
thank you for breaking it down!!With everything going on right now, the best decision to be on any creative man's heart is having a profitable investment strategy.
Regardless of all, investing in crypto markets trading still remains one of the best ways of getting out of poverty and obtaining financial freedom in this global economy pandemic
The fluctuations of the market only affect those that hodl coins, but traders makes money on both sides, when it's bearish they go short when it's bullish they go long... The best strategy to use in trading crypto is to trade with a professional, like Fergus waylen he understand the market quite well, that way maximum profits are guaranteed.
I'm honestly surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony last two months in CNBC world news and decided to try him out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
@maharasujp8903 Please how can I contact Mr fergus ? I really like what he has done for you, and I also want to benefit from it.
I think he must be very good with crypto because he has been recommended by many TH-camrs to learn how to trade with him.
While I don't mind the album "Evolution" by Disturbed, I understand why many of my fellow Disturbed fans hated it. It was definitely not what you would expect from the band, due to its more, I guess you would call, softer tone, instead of heavy and aggressive sound that the band is known for. If I'm not mistaken, Godsmack had a similar problem with their ""When Legends Rise" album, by changing their sound to a softer tone.
@Christopher Bingham I agree with all of that. Also, I remember when Corey Taylor from Slipknot was talking about when Metallica released their Black Album and how people, including Taylor himself, were pissed because of how different it was from all of Metallica's previous stuff. Well, Taylor said that years later, he went back to that album, gave it a fair chance and actually enjoyed it.
The point is that I'm sure that, given time, many Disturbed fans will come around.
Celtic Frost and T.S.O.L. *need* to be on here! 😂
Amo is easily my favorite BMTH album. Every song was fantastic.
Great Video, Great Picks! Kinda sad not to see Illud Divinum Insanus by Morbid Angel on here though. Not so much because they put out that album that their fans hated... because they followed it up with a remix album that had reimaginings of all the tracks fans hated, and more of them! That whole thing was just so damned funny.
I loved Dangers Days from MCR when it came out. Didn’t bat an eyelash because of how different the first three albums were from each other.
Limp Bizkit when they changed their sound with 3 Dollar Bill Yall.
Before this, nobody had ever heard them.
While I understand the criticisms of The Path of Totality and amo, I really enjoy those albums. The Path of Totality is admittedly nostalgic, though I feel it’s a solid fit for the band considering the sound of See You on the Other Side and Untitled. amo also felt like a natural direction for BMTH, think about the more poppy and electronic elements of Sempiternal and That’s the Spirit.
ngl but I kinda tried listening to BMTH's whole discography straight, and I realized that it was a teeny tiny bit obvious that by the 4th or 5th record, they were gonna sound like a completely different band. even just by suicide season, they already started incorporating little bits and styles that weren't associated with deathcore/metalcore.
Tbh I didn't like Amo at first, but it's grown on me now.
@@bumbum3751 exactly what I’m talking about. Hints of change, of amo, were there for a while.
@@DragonKnightX12 it’s a grower for sure. Even I had to get into it, though I did much faster than others bc I was in an experimental phase around that time.
Calling All Stations by former prog rock band Genesis released in 1997 is one that I’d love to add to the list. Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks decided to continue on with changing their lead vocalist for a second time following the departure of Phil Collins in 1996, recruiting Ray Wilson of Scottish grunge band Stiltskin (famous for the song “Inside” which appeared on Levi’s Jeans ads in the mid nineties) and going for an alt rock sound after nearly two decades of going progressive pop starting with the 1978 album “And then there were three.”
Despite the album doing well in the UK and Norway, it didn’t do very well in North America due to the fact that Wilson was unknown in that country resulting in the US leg of the “Calling All Stations” tour being scrapped completely and Wilson leaving Genesis on Bad Terms after 1998, resulting in the band going on a nine year hiatus until the 2007 reunion tour with Phil Collins returning on vocals.
“Calling all Stations” does have some redeeming songs in my opinion such as “Shipwrecked,” “Not About Us” and “The Dividing Line” which are standouts as well as Wilson sounding much akin to first Genesis vocalist Peter Gabriel as he would be a guest vocalist on Steve Hackett’s “Genesis Revisited II” performing “The Carpet Crawlers” but I didn’t like the infamous “Small Talk” which sounded way too much like Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer.”
Did you know that before Wilson was chosen as lead vocalist, the late David Longdon of Big, Big Train and Cutting Crew’s Nick Van Eede auditioned to be the new lead vocalist of Genesis as well as a long time rumour that Giraffe’s Kevin Gilbert was invited to audition before his untimely death.
Would just like to add Congo to the list of decent songs on that album. (I also felt Ray sounded more like David Gilmour instead of Peter Gabriel.......................not a bad thing, by any means).
It is unfortunate that Diabolus got a lot of heat from Slayer fans. Even a couple of friends of mine hate that album. For me, I felt that Slayer did an awesome job. Thick and heavy sounding guitars, a more present bass and some tribal drum beats (Death's Head). A far better direction than the likes of some of my other favorite thrash bands and it's still one of my all time favorite albums. The only track on Diabolus that bothered me a little was 'Stain Of Mind', hearing Araya belt out 'oh yeah'.
It was my favorite one they ever did.
After seeing this video, I went to the album and listened to a couple songs. I dont think it's bad. It's definitely obvious that the style is a bit different, but I don't think it's bad.
Only thing I can criticize on that album would be Bostaph's overmixed basedrum. But anything else just hits...especially hard.
I love the album, and Stain of Mind is a juke staple for me. I get what you're saying about the "Oh yeah" bit, but being 17-18 years old back then, driving aimlessly with friends, Bostaph's drums cracking your spine, yelling "Oh yeah" with Tom felt pretty great.
Diabolis is far from their best, but theres no such thing as a bad slayer album in my opinion. It also isn't as big of a departure in style as some make it out to be.
My big pick for a band that I like much better after a sound change, but I know a lot of fans don't, is Dir En Grey. Then again, they are one of the precious few bands I can think of that started out with a really mainstream sound, then went in a heavier and more experimental direction.
DeG only flaw is that they try so much stuff out that you never know what you'll get. But shit they do everything very well and Kyo is a beast of a vocalist!
I love everything I've heard by that band. I have not listened to their first album and EP though.
Hot take but linkin parks and a thousand suns definitely should of been included yes theres couple of gems but other than that Album really falls flat
A Thousand Suns is a really good album. One More Light isn't so much.
I did a video about that one years back.
I would say One More Light instead
Hmm an interesting list, kinda surprising seeing how many feel about albums like Amo and Danger Days, both of which are what got me into those bands to begin with. As for bands that changed their style and failed, I feel like Mumford and Sons fits the bill with their 3rd album dropping all the fulk sound that made them popular in the first place.
Great video once again.
I feel like it’s hard to talk about failed reinventions without bringing up Chris Gaines.
I also think “Turbo” gets way too much hate. It’s notably weaker than some of their best records, but I’ll still take it over any of the Halfordless albums.
I unironically enjoy Into the Unknown. It's amateurish, yes, but enjoyable nonetheless and surprisingly catchy. It also introduced some elements (such as vocal harmonies) that they wisely held on to for the next albums. I am glad they seem to gradually warm up to it and hope it gets an official re-release some day.
@@christopherbingham5092 " Fans only hate it because it wasn't what they expected" that's a reasonable response when a band's first album is a hard-hitting punk instant-classic and their seconds is a mediocre attempt at prog rock (aka the antithesis of punk rock)
I think there are other reasons. Specifically, the kind of poor production on this album is excuseable in a punk record but quite unacceptable in a proggish arena rock album such as this, where good production is pretty much mandatory. I can understand why most fans would skip it, but I would prefer to have the option NOT to skip it. In other words, release it for streaming, Mr Brett!
@Christopher Bingham
@Christopher Bingham bad religion is my favorite band. Into the unknown is a bad album. Sorry.
Threw me off guard with Amo, its different but i never thought of it as any less successful. Thinking about it now though you are most likely correct. thanks for the video really enjoyed it!
One band that sticks out in my mind is alternative rockers Lit. Their first five albums were all in the same party rock/alternative vein then, bam, bro country. This was in 2017 when bro country was peak. Their newest album from this year goes back to their late 90s roots
I actually really enjoyed the Path Of Totality album from Korn, I'm not even huge into dubstep but I thought Korn did it beautifully. I still listen to that album all the time.
A lot of my friends have a weird relationship with Amo, but to me it's BMTH's best work yet. P.s I've been a fan since they started, so I like their heavy stuff too. But there's some excellent world-class songwriting in Amo which is only matched by Post human and to some extent That's the spirit (although not as much)
I love Amo, people hate so much on BMTH for that record, but i love almost all of the songs in it. I feel that metal music has a lot of purists and that’s why records with different style get shit from listeners.
I remember heard really old ‘MCR’ and it was almost akin to cradle of filth. I also remembering discovering bring me the horizon back in 2007 and hearing their deathcore stuff and loved it.
As a long time Muse fan, _Simulation Theory_ was definitely very surprising for me. I still enjoy it to this day, but it was definitely a very different sound and style. I put off listening to it in its entirety after I first listened to 'Propoganda' and was shocked at the sudden change, but I have since warmed up to it
I liked Simulation Theory, but it isn't something I can listen to on a regular basis.
Simulation theory is a good album. It's just not a rock album.
I can appreciate it when bands try new things different. I don’t appreciate it if it’s just change for the sake of laziness.
Even if these albums were misfires, they were at least bold and interesting misfires that we still talk about nonetheless.
A great example, although it's outside of rock or metal, is singer-songwriter Jewel trying to go full mainstream pop with the album "03/04".
I only knew a few of her songs at the time this came out. Even then, seeing the music video for "Intuition" is still to this day one of the biggest "WTF, this can't actually be happening" reactions I've ever had to music.
Intuition by Jewel was definitively one of the biggest WTF moments for the time. To me it still sounds like a chord progression written on an acoustic guitar. All music is chord progressions…or a lack there of. Was it a commercial failure though? Did the album sales flop? I truly don’t know.
Intuition is my favorite Jewel song. The production and video were a spoof on soulless commercialism. It was a joke that went over many heads, but at the same time it was a gutsy and artistic move. Sounds good to me.
Check out Todd in the Shadows' Trainwreckords review of this! Great channel.
Thanks for mentioning Motley Crue's Generation Swine album, I would add Red White & Crue too, but Saints of Los Angeles was a good listen. I liked that Turbo album from Judas Priest and that Slayer album I had no idea that was a new progressive rock, just sounded like Slayer to me, but Slayer tends to run together.
I personally consider Path Of Totality the most interesting Korn record in recent years.
I have to mention Linkin Park here. Hybrid Theory and Meteora were the records which brought me to metal music at my teenage years. Than they turned in completely wrong direction for me…
That's funny. "Minutes To Midnight" is my favorite album of theirs. But I agree, they fell drastically off the cliff for me after that album.

Danger Days is misplaced on here, as is the characterization of what fans like about MCR, as is the broad categorization of Danger Days as "more uplifting" compared to past releases. I'm married to a superfan who converted me to the fanbase, and pretty much everything that was said in that segment was completely off based on my years of being taken through MCR-land lol
Fans don't *tend* to like it the same as the other three, but they still like it a lot and a bunch of the songs from that album are some of their most beloved songs. We caught them live twice this year, and some of the most enthusiastic reactions from the crowd were from Danger Days songs. Fans still really like the aesthetic surrounding it (lots of cosplaying at the shows), and it was well-received critically, too. The concept and comics that spawned from it are popular as well.
Out of curiosity, what are you basing this opinion on? Because I could understand the argument that its not as well-liked as Three Cheers or Black Parade- it isn't, generally- but this is the first time I've ever heard the opinion that the fanbase just straight up dislikes like the album, and especially after catching a couple of the reunion shows, that claim seems pretty baseless to me.
Diabulos in musica was awesome never heard anything like it, it wasn't nu metal and it wasn't thrash it was just good
"Never heard anything like it"
Well there are tons of groove metal acts that sound very much like it. Pantera being a good example
I really think danger days is super underappreciated. Its a pretty creative album honestly
Simulation Theory wasn't the first time Muse completely changed their style to chase a trend. Just like Korn, they dove headfirst into dubstep territory with The 2nd Law and it was awful.
Path of totality is what put life back in Korn again after trying to go back to their old sound on Remember Who You Are and failed to recapture their sound without Head. The album korn changed their sound on and failed was Untitled. At least Path of Totality had something new and peaked peoples interests unlike the previous two albums
Who is head
@@XxxXxx-br7eq Lead guitarist
amo is a great fucking album and makes a lot of sense if you listen through all their albums chronologically. They slowly started adding in more pop/Linkin Park style songwriting even as early as There Is A Hell. I love that they don't give a fuck about "staying in their lane" and absolutely don't need to.
"Eric Hirschi" I agree. Plus, that album got me into BMTH which slowly became my 4th favourite band of all time. Don't know why it is overlooked a lot btw
@@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191 Everybody has their own reasons. amo convinced me to give them another try after not being impressed by their earlier albums and now they are one of my favorite bands. Who are your other 3? I assume LP is in there somewhere.
@@erichirschi315 Other than BMTH, I like Linkin Park, Green Day, Nirvana, System Of A Down, Evanescence, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, blink-182, Spiritbox, No Doubt etc
Aw not Danger Days!!!! I feel it’s a hyper sarcastic punk album. Some of those songs are such fun to listen to!
It came out five months before I was born, but my choice for this category HAS to be "Hot Space" by Queen.
I actually enjoyed the Evolution album from Disturbed. I hope to see them do another song like A Reason to Fight, just maybe make it 1 per album like their covers.
I have never seen a MCR fan say anything bad about Danger Days
The Sword had High Country which a lot of fans were upset about. I eventually learned to like it, but it took me a while. The 2nd half of their career was certainly different from where they came from with Age of Winters and Gods of the Earth.
For as much crap as people give Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer for "changing their sound", I personally feel like Anthrax completely lost their way once John Bush entered the picture. Pretty much the only song I enjoyed from the Bush era was, appropriately enough, "Only".
Danger Days is AMAZING!!!!
Given the passing of Chester bennington, would it be in poor taste to suggest "A Thousand Suns" or "One More Light" by Linkin Park as albums that would qualify under this? I personally like both albums(mostly), but as HAM as I am about LP, even i recognize.. these two are pretty much the outliers in their discography.
While A Thousand Suns is not my favorite LP album, I don’t think it’s all that bad. It’s something that I can defend to a certain degree.
One More Light however is a different story.
@@BlinkPS2 in fairness Rocked DID do a Regretting The Past on A Thousand Suns… so there’s an argument to include it here… I’m just wondering if, given the circumstances, it’d be appropriate to do so now…
I absolutely LOVED Danger Days! Was unexpected and a fun listen.
I think it's a great record!
Chris Cornell - Scream.
Trent Reznor later tweeted on how much of an "embarassment" this album was for Chris.
Within Temptation - Hydra
The entire album made the guest musicians the focus of it all. Most of them don't flow with Sharon's vocals. That's what we came for.
Green Day - Father of All
The entire album is Green Day trying to top and emulate the other musicians that they were touring alongside in the upcoming Hella Mega tour, and failing at matching their style.
I actually love danger days honestly
Disturbed honestly started getting really soft after their debut. Their debut was a masterpiece then… idk what happened lol. It turned into like pop thrash with some weird monkey noises thrown in
Who's the green guy in the frame on the wall in the background? I'm unfamiliar. Looks interesting 🤘
