They lost me after Aenima. Started to just turn into background music. I really dig their early stuff though.

 

Not surprising. I feel the same way about lots of band's radio songs. They're usually the weakest and brain dead songs off each album. One thing I like about Sober is it highlights their bassist's awesome tone.

 

It seems they all start out great and then the major labels get a hold of them and set their producers on them. They mold their sound into something that's not of their own creation. Or one of the members leaves and the entire recipe changes so the sound does too.

 

Rights. Like Iron Man. I despise that song with a passion!

 

I'm certain that's the case sometimes but I've heard too many stories of what the labels do in the studio and behind closed doors. Many of bands have broken up because it was the only way out of a contract and they didn't want to sell out or have some producer dictating their sound and/or musical directions. It's a recipe. Change one ingredient and it just ain't the same anymore.
