Panic! At the disco
Alan Walker
The dude has just seen one tune go viral and decided “why not make ALL of my music exactly like this?”
U2? Never listened to them besides sometimes on the radio. But seems kinda samey
I was just listening to them for the first time in a long while last week. There’s a noticeably difference pre and post elevation album.
That’s most bands, isn’t it? That’s why we have favorites, because we like how they sound. I mean, I suppose there’s people who like a particular band because of their technical skill in general, but for most people isn’t it the particular sound they have that draws us in?
To some degree you are correct, however there is a massive difference between a band like AC/DC which had jokingly been said they have have the same album for 40 years, and say Metallica.
Metallica helped define what Thrash Metal is. But listening to Load/Reload vs Ride the Lightning is a huge difference in sound.
And you take it forward another 10 years from Reload the sound has changed all over again.
Very different from AC/DC but then again most bands/artists don’t have 50 year careers as the biggest name in their musical setting
Jack Johnson. If you hear one of his songs in public just say “oh, Banana Pancakes” and move on with your life. Not a soul on earth will be able to correct you
You have to make a distinction between bands that have a (more or less) coherent sound and style, and blatant repetition. Anyway, if anyone tries to tell me that Volbeat isn’t just rereleasing the same song for the whole time they existed, I have to assume that one of us must be demented.
Green Day took a short hiatus from their usual sound for American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, but otherwise has been releasing the same sound as their original works since after 2009, just now overly produced.
Reading the comments, it sounds like it’s a bad thing for a band to stick to their sound. I actually think that’s good. After all, I started listening to a band because of their sound. When they suddenly reinvent themselves, they usually lose me.
Positive example: Interpol. In my opinion, the band got better over time but kept the exact same sound.
Negative example: Radiohead. At some point, Thom Yorke just started letting cats walk across synthesizers.

Mamaleek change up the sound on every album, and still have their defining mood and are different from everyone else. If I want the different Mamaleek sounds, I listen to the different albums.
About the same with King Crimson, I think, but with longer series of albums.
I guess you stopped listening to Radiohead after Kid A? Really, really bad take.
Most EDM in 2010’s. That’s the obvious answer.
Wesley Willis
I still get The Vultures Ate My Dead Ass Up stuck in my head.
Don’t change perfection
Linkin Park.
Look, I like them, so I’m not exactly knocking them, but a long time ago I was working an overnight inventory shift, and my manager at the time put on a Linkin Park album, and I predict how every song was going to go because they all seemed like the same song.
This was true up until Minutes to Midnight came out. They’re a lot more versatile these days. I really like their new singer.
She’s alright, but she needs a few more albums with her voice on them, she doesn’t sound that great singing Chester’s songs. At least at the Vancouver show. Still very enjoyable but her own songs are where she shines. That’s probably not surprising to anyone though
- Godsmack
- Disturbed
- Tiger Army
- Tool
I like most of those bands. Never heard of Tiger Army, but now I’m curious.
Tiger Army can release 10,000 songs that sound exactly like In The Orchard and I’ll gladly buy em all 😆
“look at this photograph”
Can’t even be bothered to name them, they suck so fucking hard
You fuck. Now I have this fucking shit song stuck in my head!
Sorry about my rage …
Forgive me
Curb is still a great album
every band that i don’t like
This is the answer.
Deftones (sorry)
Gore is very stylistically different
I disagree on that one. If you listen to Adrenaline and then skip forward to Private music there’s barely any resemblance left.
I will agree though that their overall vibe has remained consistent, but I think that speaks to their vision of the band instead of a lack of creativity.
It’s funny, I listened to Adrenaline first, decided it wasn’t for me and forgot about Deftones for a couple years. Finally listened to Saturday Night Wrist and loved it and literally every other Deftones album after that.
The differences in albums has been more subtle, but I thought what they did with Pink Cellphone and the instrumental only Konami Code were unique to their music.
