3. Eminem, his older stuff was sheer brilliance, I have no idea what happened.
are you telling me you like SCREMO avenged seven fold better? you sir need to get your brain checked out, city of evil was one of their better albums.

Any way, Eminem is now shit, I think maroon 5s latest song is shit, um lets see, I don't know most of the bands I like before simply quit making songs, or they actually made good songs, the new evanescence song is actually good.
They weren't screamo >.> they were metalcore. There's a difference. Just because music has screaming in it doesn't make it screamo. Screamo would be bands like Senses Fail or Silverstein.
obviously that question was rhetorical and obviously I was using an exaggeration to prove my point; there's not point in arguing over whether this music is better than that since its all subjective, I never had the intention to sway you, just wanted to point out your ludicrous taste in music.
My taste ludicrous? Yeah that's funny coming from someone who likes Maroon 5. I'm not saying mine is better, but don't call my taste ludicrous when yours is equally questionable.

I've seen Linkin Park show up a few times and I'm inclined to agree. I totally get what they're going for on their M2M and 1000Suns but its just not what it could be. Though I gotta say, they pull of that shit quite nicely when performing.

As for Sonata Arctica. The main problem on Days of Grays is Elias. He was still new and it was the first album he was on. He just didn't realize he was allowed to speak up. Tony programs some guitars and Jani would do his on take on that stuff. Elias just played what Tony programmed. Or so I have heard anyway. Oh and the ballads. SO MANY BALLADS.

Kamelot was never top notch for me till Ghost Opera. And then Poetry for the Poison came out. Fell flat on it's face for me. Same with Symphony X, I absolutely love Paradise Lost but the Iconoclast just doesn't do it for me.

I got nothing more for now. Most bands I listen to are a bit subpar anyway so usually there is this nice mediocore stability going on.

Metallica comes immediately to mind, after hearing that unbelievably atrocious, drunken, spoken-word 'jam' they called "The View".

None of my favourite bands have ever really declined. Rammstein, maybe, but that's only cos Mutter and Reise, Reise were so incredible it would be a miracle if they could actually top them.

Nonono! A7X are metalcore and Silverstein are post-hardcore.

This is screamo:
Post-Hardcore and Screamo pretty much go hand in hand, Silverstein is more screamo than post-hardcore.
nonononono they're different. People misuse the term "screamo" a lot. Some bands overlap them but Silverstein are definitely not Screamo.

Sonata Arctica. Used to be my favorite band, through their first four albums.

They used to do this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy81-mzwQoE

Now they do this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG7Oxw8HqLU

Went from being speedy and balls-out fun despite dark-romantic themes to being thudding, droning dull with those same increasingly stale dark-romantic themes. Bleh. This is what they call "maturing," I guess. What is it that makes every good power-metal band inevitably screw with their sound the moment they find success?
So much this! I loved Sonata Arctica to pieces, but it just keeps getting blander and blander. Ecliptica and most of the other albums were so awesome, but then it hit Unia and I couldn't get into it. Shame, I'd still go see them live, but way to not be awesome anymore.

They're still brilliant, but I can't help this feeling that ever since "In Rainbows" its been a slowly sinking ship, and King of Limbs really didn't do anything to change that opinion.
Lies. And anyway, what do you mean TKOL didn't do anything to change it? Its the only album released since In Rainbows. Its a new sound, which they do for practically every album and maybe its a little experimental but its still mind blowingly good.

I didn't like it much at first but i've come back to The King Of Limbs recently and I love it. Plus some of their other new stuff they've been releasing recently.

Keane. Loved the first 2 albums, Perfect Symmetry was...alright and then the Night Train EP. Urgh. 2 songs feauturing, what's his name, K'Naan. Not Keane-y at all. Massive disappointment right there.
The Killers, too, as has been said many times. I loved Sam's Town, then they got all weird. take Human, for example.

Contrary to many others, though, I still love Linkin Park. Their old stuff is more raw sounding, but the new stuff has the appeal of being refined, cleaner than the old stuff. More varied too, and the more experimental feel I liked. Plus the concepts behind the songs are bigger, as well. Just me though, most of my friends dislike it.

Calling someones taste ludicrous is just begging for a response and I also know who they are because I have friends who listen to them.

Man, Foo Fighters. The first three albums are completely awesome, One By One is pretty good, and the last few albums have just been bland shite. It's just dull as hell.

I've heard plenty of songs by them to know who they are. Calling someone's taste ludicrous is pretty much wanting them to respond. Do you just expect them to not defend their taste in music? If someone called something you like stupid or crazy would you defend it or just not respond at all?

Metallica without a doubt has been on a decline in the past years and Guns and rose's last album was incredibly disappointing.
Wait, so after fifteen years of waiting you actually bothered to go out and buy the album? Um wow..... Sorry you got duped.

But for my part Puddle of Mudd: Their first album was Brilliant, and I thought they could become the next big thing. Their second album was decent had a few good tracks... Their third album was bad and their fourth well I dunno, stopped getting the albums and going to their shows after I saw them for their third tour.

I'd definitely recommend Come Clean and Life on Display. (their first and second albums respectively) Their drummer Greg Upchurch took over as the drummer for 3 doors down a few years ago....

Your denial only feeds my conviction!
Seriously though, yes King of Limbs is new, yes it tries something different, but its not amazing. This isn't like when OK Computer came out and my brain parachuted to safety out the back of my skull.
I'm not saying Radiohead is done and dusted, but I just cannot convince myself they're as good as they used to be.

I knew there'd be backlash for saying this sort of thing out loud. People just aren't ready to let go yet.

As much as it pains me to say it: Rush.

Musically they are still godlike, but they just don't have the inspiration that they used to overall.. and Neil's lyrics just aren't anywhere near where they once were. Too many repeated ideas and themes. Too many songs that come across as poorer versions of things they've already done. The best parts of their last album (Snakes and Arrows) were easily the instrumentals, which says a lot considering how good of a lyricist Peart used to be.

Pendulum, oh my fucking god, Pendulum.

They used to be so, so good, but now they sing poppy shit for the masses, which is mostly pre teen scene kids.


Example A - When they were good.

Example B - When they became shit.

There are a few song on their new albums which are okay (Visions is an awesome song for example), but it's mostly pure, and utter crap.

I wish Pendulum would go back to their old Drum and Bass stuff.

Also, PJ Harvey, she used to be the queen of rock, but now she's lightened up her voice and became the queen of...folk?


Old - Dark, very anti pop, grungy kinda music.

New - Light hearted, hard to listen to, folk music.

...yeah, I'm not a fan at all of her new stuff (I personally think she went downhill after stories), but I still think she's awesome though.

Soo soo many. But I think that says more about me than it does about the bands. I'm someone who still primarily listens to what he listened to in high school, and I invariably will like a band's albums from that era more than their more recent stuff. Don't know why. Maybe I just liked music more back then.

But there are definitely cases where the band got worse. Bad Religion, Phish, 311, Metallica.

Others, like Megadeth and Therapy? had a bad phase and then came out of it strong on the other end, maybe even better than ever.

Metallica. Just... Metallica. Seriously, it's like they released Death Magnetic to then kick in the balls twice as hard with that new... thing... they're doing with Lou Reed. I mean, LOU REED! SERIOUSLY! How much more out of focus can you get without actually suffering from miopy? And I know my share of miopy, trust me...

obviously that question was rhetorical and obviously I was using an exaggeration to prove my point; there's not point in arguing over whether this music is better than that since its all subjective, I never had the intention to sway you, just wanted to point out your ludicrous taste in music.
My taste ludicrous? Yeah that's funny coming from someone who likes Maroon 5. I'm not saying mine is better, but don't call my taste ludicrous when yours is equally questionable.
Again, taste of music is subjective, and again, my response was not warranted with another response. You are simply tried to use a cheap tactic to grab at anything in order to legitimize what you like, which I am sorry to say didn't work, your taste in music is still ludicrous, and there is nothing wrong with liking maroon 5, I doubt you even know who they are, if you did, then you would have obviously liked their music enough to look up their name.
Calling someones taste ludicrous is just begging for a response and I also know who they are because I have friends who listen to them.
Saying "I also know who they are because I have friends who listen to them" is like saying "I'm not racist because I have black friends" You don't, and it's a farce excuse any way. Also I was not begging for a response, I would have explicitly said that if I was, instead I said the exact opposite. Read before you post please.
I've heard plenty of songs by them to know who they are. Calling someone's taste ludicrous is pretty much wanting them to respond. Do you just expect them to not defend their taste in music? If someone called something you like stupid or crazy would you defend it or just not respond at all?
Again I doubt you have ever heard of them, your point of saying "my friend listens to them" has now turned into "I've heard plenty of songs by them to know who they are", and its becoming painfully obvious you were lying the whole time, why would you listen to plenty of songs by them if you don't like them? Oh, and since it seems you can't get when a rhetorical question is placed, I'll say it now, that question was rhetorical.

Calling some one ludicrous, once again, on subjective topics is not wanting them to respond, and agian, especially if they specifically say that it is not something for you to respond to.
If some one told me that I was stupid in thinking that, for example, half life was a good game, or that childeren of men was a great movie, I would accept, that they do not like the same movies and I do and that is that, and we would move on with our lives. However if some one said to me that, you are stupid for thinking that global warming is real or that animals evolve over time, then I would back up my claims and show that only a imbecile would think otherwise.
