Bands that became worse as time went on.

[GodsAndFishes]

The Offspring and Green Day have both gone downhill in the last few years.

 

[A Weary Exile]

AC/DC
Seem to fade and fade and fade away with each new release.

I remember when they had a frightening amount of aggressive feral power to their music.

They kept trying to do the same song over and over again.

 

[Zukonub]

While I enjoyed both Presence and In Through the Out Door, those two albums were far worse than anything Led Zeppelin had put out beforehand.

 

[Jinmasa 8]

Green day, they didn't get bad (all that much anyway) they just started releaseing the same thing IN MY OPINION

 

[CJ1145]

I'd have to say Green Day. Me no likeh the new album. System of a Down changed as time went on, but it didn't make them worse. Hmm...it's hard to think.

If System of A Down's change is good in your eyes, and Green Day's is not, you have lost my respect.

U2, though, went from mediocre to flat-out bad in my opinion.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Muse. They'll never hit the apex that was Origin Of Symmetry again, alas.
System of a Down also went sour after they let Daron have creative input.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Ugh Metallica, sorry but I don't like alternative metal. Also, I respectfully disagree with your assesment of Arch Enemy, personally I think their origional singer was rather mediocre, while Angela brings something interesting to the band. I still listen to all of their albums, but I far prefer Angela to their origional singer.

 

[rdaleric]

Oasis. Their first two albums are amazing and it's been a downward spiral ever since i feel

 

[Unit Alpha]

U2, great in the 80's, mediocre in the 90's and god-awful in the 00's.

Pretty much everything they've done since (and including) Zooropa has been crap.

Eh, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb had some good songs. Although, no Line on the Horizon wasn't that good.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

U2, though, went from mediocre to flat-out bad in my opinion.

I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. In my opinion, Green Day's older albums are much better than 21st Century Breakdown. I loved American Idiot, aside from one song. System of a Down didn't really take too much of a stoop.

Muse. They'll never hit the apex that was Origin Of Symmetry again, alas.
System of a Down also went sour after they let Daron have creative input.

Daron wrote an awful lot of their songs. Serj and Daron were the writers. I'm not sure how far down their career that you're going, but the majority of Toxicity was writen by Serj, whilst Hypnotise and Mezmerise were mostly written by Daron. Steal this Album! was written by Serj and Daron.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer Serj's voice over Daron's any day.

 

[sneakypenguin]

Linkin park was aweful with their last cd.

But breaking benjamin killed me with "phobia" Saturate was awesome then "we are not alone here" was wonderful, then came "phobia" Ugh.

 

[MetaKnight19]

i cant really think of any. its a bit of a boring response i know but im not the sort of person who really gets attached to a band. i just listen to albums with an open mind and try to enjoy it

 

[PartyMonkey]

Greenday, and linkin park (although they were not good anyway)

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I disagree with both the OP's choices.

I can only think of one at the moment, Nickelback because Silver Side Up was really good, but they've become crap.

It's really Hypnotize/Mesmerize that I have a problem with.
Daron's voice just..grates.
Steal This Album is probably my favourite, though. Along with Self Titled.

I really liked Minutes to Midnight, interesting change of direction. LP are one of those guilty pleasures, started listening to them young and loved them but as I've got older I've realised how basic (and pretty rubbish) the early stuff is, I'd say they've matured with the last album actually.

I'm gonna go with MUSE and LostProphets on this -

MUSE were unique with Showbiz and Symmetry but have got really stale now I think.
As for LostProphets; Fake Sound of Progress remains one of my favourite ever albums, showed real promise but everything since has blown hard
EDIT... not *everything* has blown hard, but most of it...

 

[Jast]

Linkin Park kept getting worse with each cd they released. Hybrid Theory: Awesome. Meteora: ...meh. The one with Jay-Z: What the...? Minutes to Midnight: Alright I've had enough. Screw you guys.

 

[Smudge91]

I can only think of one at the moment, Nickelback because Silver Side Up was really good, but they've become crap.

They used to be really good and then all of their songs started to sound the same .

And err someone else but i can't remember their name hmm... well anywho they were good and then went fairly naf.

 

[Captain Pancake]

In Flames. Once upon a time this metal band had it all. Impressive vocals, creative guitar chords, awesome themes for their music, emotion, and interesting lyrics. Then they became a shadow of their former selves by not evolving and switching genres completely.

I completely agree. After come clarity, they lost all direction. Sense of purpose was utter drivel.

Hmm it was a new sound but I thought it sucked. The "fun" pop/rap/rock of meteora and Hybrid theory was gone and in place was some indie sounding U2 wannabe stuff. With occasional attempts (that sucked) to keep an old sound (bleed it out, what ive done, new divide)

But to each their own
