Bands That Changed For the Better
Bands that changed their original sound and got better. |
| 1 | Anathema
I love old Anathema. Serenades is beautiful, but it pales in comparison to We're Here Because We're Here and their pièce de résistance, Weather Systems. |
| 2 | Virgin Steele
Can anyone really tell me they prefer Noble Savage or Life Among the Ruins over the Atreus or Marriage of Heaven and Hell albums? |
| 3 | Neurosis
Who woulda thunk that the guys that made Word as Law could make Eye of Every Storm? |
| 4 | Lord Wind
Darken made three tolerable albums with this side project. Then out of nowhere he releases Atlantean Monument, one of his most enduring works of all. |
| 5 | Isis
Oceanic and Panopticon or Red Sea and Mosquito Control? |
| 6 | In The Woods...
Everything the band has released is wondrous. But once they dropped all black metal tendencies, the band dropped Omnio and Strange in Stereo, sealing their legacy. |
| 7 | Immortal
Sorry Demonaz, once you left Abbath created Immortal's masterpiece, At the Heart of Winter. |
| 8 | Akercocke
I respect all five albums. But the blackened death whirlwind could not have prepared me for Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone. |
| 9 | Bathory
Only Viking Bathory is real. |
| 10 | Enslaved
I love them all (well, except for Vertebrae and RITTIR), but once the band dropped the Viking sound and out came Mardraum and Monumension, they peaked. |
