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?

ok most indie bands i know have realsed fantastic albums this year, most mainstream bands i love ditto. once edguy and funeral for a friend release their albums and if they kick ass ill probably consider it not the best year but a great year.
for hip hop as said in an earlier post yes. with that pos umbrella song i nearly killed myself cause every STUPID TWIT in the world was playing it
nope :)
I've had a new Avantasia, Opeth, Tiles, Jorn, Coheed & Cambria, E.S Posthumus, King's X, Poets of the Fall and Ayreon!
I've been very satisfied so far this year :D
