I realize to a large degree this is subjective. There’s that old adage that nothing stays the same forever. Still in some instances, change isn’t so awesome. You can provide examples of this from one album to the next or via songs.
Berlin – Pleasure Victim 1982 to Count Three and Pray 1986 – Still can’t believe this was the same band, who went from new wave icons to soft rock crap within four years.
U2 – War 1983 to The Unforgettable Fire 1984 – Old U2 was one of my early favorites but this marked the beginning of the end of my love affair for them. They mellowed out considerably.
The Goo Goo Dolls - Superstar Car Wash 1993 to Dizzy Up the Girl 1998 – Went from being the second coming of The Replacements to Hootie and the Blowfish in five years. Their membership to 120 minutes should be revoked.
Filter – Hey Man Nice Shot 1995 to Take a Picture 1999 – One of the cruelest jokes of all time.
I'll leave Metallica for someone else.
