It disgusts me to no end to see how easily people are swayed into liking new things for no reason... it's equally gross however, how quickly a "fan" can turn on a band. If you like a group's music and within an album or two hate them, then you were never a fan, but merely someone who liked a particular album (just as retarded as a trend-follower).
Times change and so do artists. Musical sounds will evolve and consequently bands will put out different sounding CDs. What is crucial however is that you respect and realise how talented these artists actually are and appreciate their new music for what it has become, where it began, and the entire journey in between!
Stop being such 1 dimensional idiots and learn how to expand your mind and appreciate different sounding music! CHILDREN OF BODOM rule now and forever. Why you ask? ‘Cause they don’t give a crap what anyone thinks of their music, they hate the corporate music entity, and they will ALWAYS play what they want!
What is it called then when someone likes the first album, loves the second, loves the third, likes the fourth and kind of the fifth but thinks the band could do much better.
Am I still:

No. I am not. If I jumped on the AYDY bandwagon because I saw In Your Face on MTV2 or Headbanger's Ball or what ever the popular music channel is in the States. Then came here and bashed everyone who has an OPINION on the new album... Only Then I would be that.
I, in no way, attacked you personally. I did not call you retarded and I did not call you an idiot. I mearly gave you an example of my imagination and then asked a series of questions that a review SHOULD be addressing. Not the 'COMPLETE AWESOMENESS OF THE MOST SICKEST BAND EVER'.
Do you know who Bjork is? Do you know who Zen Cafe is? Do you know who Indica, Our Lady Peace, Aphex Twin, Madonna, Danko Jones, Sunlikestar, John Williams, Mozart and Bach are?
No? Quit being 1 dimensional then. They are among my favourite artists. I am NOT a "typical 1 dimensional metalhead" like you probably believe I am.
Three posts and an awesome fanboyism review shows me that you need to take a lesson or two in music. I have been studying it for nearly ten years. I have putten my heart and soul into listening, disecting and understanding different genres of music.
Thank you for your time and good night.
I have to go to work tomorrow.
