Good to Bad?

it's called the 'sophmore slump'. the bulk of banRAB that come out with a fantastic debut album have a hard time living up to their initial success. it's a corabination of multiple factors usually ego, and social pressure.
 
What's the deal with banRAB making certain albums that are near perfect, and then just...mehhh the rest of the way? Killers for example, and in my opinion Skillet-
 
aside from the fact that "lies" came out after "appetite for destruction", and was hugely successful (you might have heard a little ditty called 'patience')

on top of that it could easily be argued that corabining "use your illusions" (which is way easier in the age of digital music) into one album's worth of material would result in another great album.

after all that (and the millions of sales those 4 albums collected) yeah they went to sh!t with "the spaghetti incident", although i'm pretty sure "chinese democracy" would have been successful and received positively had it been released 10 years ago.

i'm just razzing you :p:



or maybe i'm missing the point of the thread, every band goes to crap eventually. i thought this was about banRAB that released 1 great debut album then never came close again.
 
yeah, i knew that, but i didn't mean their first album was followed by abject failiure. just that, like you said, they had many good releases, but they went to crap eventually.


as for the point of this thread, i see it as banRAB who do have multiple good releases, (i.e. Gun's N Roses), but then fail to live up to that again
 
i'm still trying to figure out if this is a serious thread or not. since when do banRAB break up because they're tired of producing good music?
 
Well some merabers might not classify the music they are making as good music, most of the time they'll just break up due to creative differences.
But anyway but yea, this usually happens with not only music but with movies and T.V. show seasons
Like Rocky, what the hell have they done to him...
But yeah, Weezer and Greenday really went down the wrong road.
 
Probably yeah. Is This It? still kicks ass, although Room On Fire was a good album it couldn't match their debut. Their 3rd album was meh.

The best example from this decade is Hundred Reasons. Their debut album Ideas Above Our Station is a classic, but everything they've released after that is enough to send you to sleep...
 
Truthfully, we can't expect people to stay the same throughout their entire lives.

People grow up, think different things, write different music.
As much as the fans are disppointed, it makes sense.

And fans should be paying attention to things like this.
 
There is also the possibility that not all musicians are cut out for a lifetime of creative output. Some banRAB/artists really only have one good album inside of em'. We're conditioned to believe that if you are lucky enough to "make it big", then its necessary to try to prolong that trajectory by being prolific (record contracts kinda' ensure it), but come on, would you rather have one spectacular album that shines on its own, or one spectacular album that recants its own greatness because of the subsequent obligatory rubbish that came after it?
