Nice point with the Pantera album.
You accuse them of selling out their traditional glam values and that Cowboys From Hell is a disappointment.
Then you could listen to the breakdown in Domination.
And then shut up.

Look at Slipknot, in my personal opinion they’ve never released a bad album in there almost 10 year history. They started in the nu-metal scene, there debut was credited as nu-metal and then changed by the second even when nu-metal was still of some significance they came back with an incredible album. The third was different to the last two in terms of sound and the fourth is one of the greatest metal albums ever. One band that is credited at some point as to trying whats popular is Machine Head, Burn My Eyes one of the great albums out there, never in a million years could I get bored of Davidian, Ten Ton Hammer from The More Things Change is simply epic. Then they went nu-metal with there next 2 releases, and because of that they were on the brink of destruction, but they made quite possibly one of the greatest comebacks with Through The Ashes Of Empires. Imperium is a song I could listen to on repeat all day and literally would never get bored, its indescribable, The Blackening was said to be one of there best since there debut. Some bands survive the changes they go through, some bands move on. I havent heard any of Cornell’s new sound and quite frankly I dont think I want to. The only rap artist I like is Eminem, I’m not a fan of timbaland or any r’n'b or other hip hop acts its all the same to me, but its a shocking direction for Cornell. While I’ve never been a huge fan of Soundgarden or Audioslave whenever they come on a music channel depending what mood I’m in I’ll leave it on, but this direction hes went in somewhere down the line he’ll regret it. He might gain new fans due to his choice of colaberation with timbaland but hes going to lose the respect he gained as apart of two well known groups

I’ll get totally crucified for this but here goes…

Rob Halford has a lot to answer for during his solo years. Talk about jumping on bandwagons. Whatever was “in” at the time he took a crack at, and not always with great results. The first Fight album had some good moments (Pantera was the bollocks back then) but the second album was a bit naff. Then he went a bit NIN/Manson with 2wo, which I recall only had one good song on it and that ended up on a Metal Hammer free CD so you didn’t have to go and buy the whole bloody thing.

Some good reactions and examples here, readers. Skumbo, I’ll back you on Sugar Ray. That first album rips and then… Pear-shaped is one thing, but I was thinking more along a gourd.

Kreator – Endorama

An utterly disappointing album from a mighty fine band. Thankfully, they got their act together with “Violent Revolution”. And it seems that Heavenly and Elvenking are going pear shaped with their latest efforts to date.
