I'll tell you a band who have never ceased to become less awesome with each new album: Incubus. Although I still consider Morning View and Make Yourself to be their best work, I absolutely adore the Light Grenades album.
As for bands which have done the opposite:
The major one that I remember is Linkin Park, who became dead to me as soon as I heard the terrible outcome of their collaboration with Jay-Z. Not that their early work was anything special in hindsight, I don't understand how I've ever liked this band, actually.

Definatly Metalica... also Nirvana, not that their albums were bad it just kinda a downer when the singer offs himself.
Coming in with a bit of a indie band here... Electric Six keeps letting me down on new albums because none of them are as epic as their first album. I can understand why and it's not that i don't like their albums but nothing can ever compare to Fire
I wanna take you to a gay bar gay bar gay bar!

Avenged Sevenfold came out with that awful City of Evil album and when I see them live they were even worse, Thieir support band Mendeed were awesome though and took the whole night by storm
Foo Fighter's the first 2 album's I love, after that...
*Joins in with Zallest Ive got something to put in you!

Metallica: Pretty much everything after AJFA was decent but not great.
Sum41: I liked it when they made fun party music but when Chuck came out I saw that this isn't the right way. But still I bought Does This Look Infected? and Underclass Hero
Linkin Park: Do I have to say something?

I guess... i am really into a FEW bands but I'm not a music PRICK who gets upset if you sing your latest hit a pitch higher then your last.KneeLord post=18.72834.774730 said:
Linken Park could never let me down... I just wish they would fall off the face of the earth.
Also because it is INEVITABLE!
Rick Astley never let me down... he never gave me up... he never run around and desert me.... because we were no strangers to love, he knew the rules and so did I.
Slipknot, all hope is gone was OK, but not a patch on Vol.3
Also, why did we all pan cradle of filth, thornography was great

Pantera is dead since the 2000 album (I don't count the 2003 best of).Dommyboy post=18.72834.774574 said:
They started insulting each other and fighting, and they broke up for good around 2004 (release of Damageplan's first and only album).
You must be taking shots at Down, Hellyeah and Damageplan then...
Amongst the bands that let me down... hard to say, I threw most of what I disliked away already... Then the only one left I have to criticise would be KoRn...
See you on the other side (aside ripping the title off Mercury Rev) was a bland album with weak hints at Alice Cooper (Twisted Transistor) and White Zombie (10 or a 2-Way), it was whiny and uninteresting... And the untitled 2007 album is weak in most regards, their attempts at melodic synthrock are not uninteresting, but they lack inspiration.
Deftones I could criticise for getting increasingly softer, but I still like their tunes.
Metallica would score as high as KoRn, but on a different scale, it's a see-saw shark-jumping experience. I found "Metallica" (aka Black Album) good, but nothing awesome enough to gather that success (and every retard in my school told me the "slows" by Metallica were huge for scoring with girls -God they were talking about Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters, learn the lyrics and learn goddam ENGLISH), Load and Re-Load were crappy shots at goth-rock (Until it Sleeps), country-rock (Mama Said), or even-radio-friendlier-groove-rock (Fuel).
With those three albums they jumped a loooooooong shark to me.
Garage, Inc. was a fun album, but not worth a full price, the covers were really too close to the original...
Then came St.Anger, after hearing some tunes and seeing the visuals I decided to get the album new, and it was a record I liked very much, despite everyone hating it.
And now, Death Magnetic, aka Metallica of Puppets Ride the Re-Loaded Lightning For All..., is their best shark-jumping yet. Every song sounds exactly like what they have recorded before, and it's like Metallica Pt.2 -We need more money to pay our taxes and solid gold-shark aquarium-bar counters for our swimming pools. Not crap, but nothing new enough...
On the contrary, Iron Maiden never disappointed me, sure they always do the same thing, and A matter of life and death has too much "anthems", but all in all everything Maiden is awesome.
Silverchair - They were a great grunge band of unsubstansiated teen angst they knew was petty and emotional songs about anorexia. Now they are a pseudo-experimental pop rock band.
Marilyn Manson's latest album was a let down.
Kaiser Chiefs became generic after first album as did Faker.
The Living End started off as the ultimate australian pub rock band and had the youth anthem of the 90s Prisoner Of Society but outstayed their welcome to produce a boring pop rock song white noise that does not give justtice to their skill.

Any new post-rock band I'm recommended disappoint me by default. They all think "Oh we've heard of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Red Sparowes - we can do that, easy!" and they literally just copy them. They just don't attempt to push the genre any further. How come copyright doesn't protect us from mince like that?
Bands I used to like as a young'un as well like Slipknot, Korn and the rest of the usual suspects do it too. Most recently Metallica, they disappoint me because they just can't take the hint - they're never going to better Justice or Puppets but they keep trying any way which makes me sad.
And then there's bands that have made me disappointed in my friends, they've banged on about bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Sikth, Glamour of the Kill etc and I've then gone on to listen to them and been completely devestated by how rubbish they are. All in all I've had to almost stop taking recommendations off my friends.
