Note that this is opinion.
I don't know about anyone else, but I sure am getting tired of great bands releasing new albums this year that don't live up to their earlier albums. Has anyone else noticed this? The only album that has me wanting to listen to the first song to the last song this year is Mindless Self Indulgence's "If". Here are a few albums that have been released this year that haven't stood up to the bands former albums...
OOMPH's "Monster" was just released and it's not nearly as good as GlaubeLiebeTod or Warheit Oder Plficht. Mostly the reason i don't particularly care for it is because of a lot of songs don't have rhythm. But Labyrinth is a really good song.
Disturbed's "Indestructible", while good still isn't as good as their older stuff. Much of the songs sound exactly the same and I can't find myself listening to the whole album, only a few songs...
Nine Inch Nail's "The Slip", pretty much the same problem with "Indestructible". Doesn't live up to Trent's other albums and I can only manage to listen to a couple songs on the album, the other songs just aren't that good.
Slipknot's "All Hope Is Gone", they went back to their roots in a way, harder rock and lyrics that are just terrible and without meaning. I loved Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, but this new album goes into a completely different direction with it's terrible lyrics and no rhythm.
Has anyone felt this way about the bands that they like that have released albums this year?
