If It Wasn’t For BB And Memphis May Fire, I Would Have Never Gotten Into Metalcore & Hardcore, Which Along With Drum N’ Bass Are The Genres I Usually Listen To These Days! I May Have Stopped Listening To BB On A Daily, Weekly, & Monthly Basis But Does That Mean I Should Feel The Need To Pretend I Don’t Like Them Or Shit On Them? Not At All!

If you think about it, originally paramore (though not a Christian band per say, but definitely a Christian themed band) had stong religious themes in their music but as soon as they started shifting their genres around the brand new eyes era they lost a lot of those faith heavy listeners, and as they traveled further and further away from pop punk the more and more secular their music and seemingly even the member became. Not sure if that's a coincidence or a direct correlation.

This channel has a very warped perception of Godsmack. Godsmack has always changed their sound. First album: 90's nu metal Second album: a more dark themed more streamlined version of the first album. Third album: spiritual themed heavy metal that keeps some of the traditional Godsmack dna of the previous two while being the first to start experimenting. Fourth album: full on blues rock all the way. The most unique in the discography. Fifth album: aggressive in your face hard rock. Sixth album: this one is the most safe out of the discography but I still love it god damnit. It's the meat and potatoes album. Everything you expect is there with just enough new to keep it interesting. Sixth album: modern day radio metal by Godsmack. I understand why others might not like it but I do a lot. I think it's their take on the current sound of rock and metal radio stations done right. Of course we can't judge the one coming up but I dig it. Surrender is an evolution of the When Legends Rise sound with some old school grit sprinkled in the vocals and You & I had some bluesy guitar tones that remind me of IV.

And Justice for none had a couple decent songs and F8 was surprisingly solid. The newest album was completely forgettable.

The idea that Hollywood Undead hasn't changed their sound is probably the worst take in this video.

With all due respect, I disagree with this video.

Red already tried changing their sound a bit with "Release the Panic" and most people weren't crazy about it. Many saw "Of Beauty and Rage" as a kind of return to form and that album did very well. Even if some people may feel this way, they're still one of my favorite bands (as they are to plenty of others) and depending on what they might do in future, I personally think they've done better than most other bands. And as far Breaking Benjamin goes, I did enjoy "Dark Before Dawn", though "Ember" didn't really do much for me, it was pretty good overall.

I gotta agree with Breaking Benjamin, and I'm a huge fan of BB. The biggest issue is that BB is just Ben since he has full control of every thing that the band does. He sued and fired his former bandmates because they made a "greatest hits" album without his consent and the remixed version of "blow me away" pissed Ben off that he stopped making music because he refused to work with anyone at the time. Even his new bandmates are there to follow Ben's lead now. His consistent sound has held him back for so long.

I feel as if Black Veil Brides is another excellent example of this I do think they're talented and I do still enjoy some songs. But despite that, most albums and songs are the same (except for a few songs). And I believe the reason for that is because of Andy Biersack or their label. The other members of the band are very versatile and talented and I feel as if they wish to branch out with their sound, lyrics, and themes. But because Andy is the face of the band, they cannot

Hollywood Undead - I had a friend that was obsessed with them at one point, Needless to say that bridge crashed and burned in a fiery explosion (Not because of it, But I did get really irritated with her obsession regardless) Seether - This one's tough, To me Seether is one of those bands that have changed a bit sonically, While also still keeping a lot of the same tropes and vocal melodies present in the earlier releases. Every Seether song "Sounds the same" on the surface thanks to Shaun Morgan's vocals and the genre style, But if you looked further into the catalogue you'd be able to find differences between most of their albums. The same can be said for other Post-Grunge bands like Puddle Of Mudd for instance, Wes' vocal melodies sound the same on every release, But the music itself varies. Three Days Grace - Outside of the vocals, I'd have to agree. 3 Doors Down - I don't follow what they're up to these days, So idk if they've changed or not. Red - Not familiar enough Breaking Benjamin - Yeah, I agree 100%, Everything I've heard from them post-2000's sounds like retreads of their old stuff. Memphis May Fire - Not familiar Godsmack - No, They've undeniably changed their sound over the years. While yes, They still have a lot of the same tropes and melodies that carry from album to album, Nothing they've released since Faceless has sounded the same sonically. IV is a blues based hard rock album, The Oracle is an aggressive hard rock album, 1000HP is a lighter version of The Oracle, And When Legends Rise is one of the most commercial sounding hard rock albums I've ever heard. The only similarities that the later Godsmack albums have to the early ones are the guitar solos, And adlibs from Sully. Everything else is different for the most part. Five Finger Death Punch - I don't know if they've changed, More so that they just got worse overtime. Nickelback - Their sound technically did change, The State and Silver Side Up are much heavier than the later releases, But I can understand why people say they didn't since Nickelback likes to rehash the same exact melodies over and over and over, They sound the same because they quite literally do the same thing on every album.

An example of why some bands and musicians may not want to try something other than the "formula".... Stryper changed their format from Christian rock/metal to something more mainstream back in 1990 with Against the Law. Fans went nuts and didn't really care for it. I thought it was some of their best work to date, and it was nice to hear them doing something other than Christian music. They went back to their old style after that and getting tons of flack from their long time fans.

They were raw (especially with the drum production on the first album), they did show the band are good musicians, Ivan did show his vocal abilities a bit more, and yes…the Bad Company cover was good. After those two albums, their albums become hit or miss for a consistent album and their schtick to do covers on every album (especially when the production is done by the same guy. Kevin Churko does have some damn fine albums, but his production is very noticeable with drums and chug a lug guitars).

Seether does sound very similar, as does 3 Doors Down, even after 20 something plus years. Even being new to Hollywood Undead, I can tell it’s a lot of “who are we going to sleep with, let’s party, and who can we beat up for disrespecting us” kind of thing. My introduction to them though, was touring with Papa Roach recently, and the energy of the band and crowd was what hooked me. I had a lot of fun!!! That being said, you are ALWAYS right about Nickelback, because they really do freaking SUCK!!! They belong in the Triforce of Suckage!!! But you did forget Nickelback Light…er, I mean Theory…yuck!!

They’d put out such an incredibly beautiful, raw, emotionally-charged discography in such a short period of time (they formed in 1984 and broke up in 1996). They also have a Netflix documentary that’s worth watching (with subtitles, of course). This is one of their most well-known songs, Entre dos tierras, from their second album released in 1991 (which was a big success in some European countries, including Germany). kzitem.info/news/bejne/o2-hz6R5pWaVpW0 Congratulations to you and Gretchen on your marriage!

Their first three main albums (Godsmack, Awake, Faceless) were all top tier, but they started to change with further albums. When Legends Rise has a track called "Under Your Scars" and while a lot of people like it, I thought it was soft ass shit. Even with the release of "Surrender" off their upcoming 2023 album, I saw a comment from someone saying they've changed and not for the better to which Godsmack actually replied saying of course they've changed as they've matured over 20+ years, but you're still welcome to listen to the older stuff as those aren't going anywhere.

I hadn't listened to them in awhile when that album came out, and I was surprised to hear them get back on track. Only for the next album to be bafflingly bad. Like, what happened? They were good again for one album and went right back to being terrible. It's bizarre.
