I'm kinda getting tired of people who equate mainstream with being shit, Muse changed, like every artist is entitled to over the years, you can't expect them to play the same thing for years and years or they simply won't get anywhere, to be fair, just because
you don't like what they're doing, it doesn't make them anything less than talented artists, because if they have that many fans then they're clearly doing something right.
I personally really liked The Resistance and I've been following them since Showbiz, and you could even argue the change of style/mainstream-ness when Origins of Symmetry came out.
They're still true to their fans and what originally made them great, they still have a fantastic stage presence, but like all bands, they're perfectly entitled to experiment with their musical style and see what happens, I found The Resistance miles better than Black Holes anyway. ._.

Ok lets take a look at linkin park. When they made minutes to midnight, did they change to mainstream? Im trying to understand this, because it sounds like a similar situation. I loved linkin park, then they released that album and turned to shit (in my opinion). Some of my friends like it more now, but i think they have become totally craptastic. So, did linkin park become more mainstream? or more indie? They definitely changed, but which way.
Here I'm inclined to agree, Linkin Park changed, never been sure if they went mainstream though because most people still don't give a shit about them, but what we see with them is a complete change in genre, from one that I kinda liked (Nu-Metal), to one I've never been a fan of anyway (Alt-Rock). That's why
I think they went to shit, but there are still a lot of fans following them, so, as I said in Muse's case, they're obviously doing something right.
