#9  Bands such a Linkin Park I listened to when I was about 12. I grew up though, so it's not their fault that they suck. I kinda got into GreenDay with the release of American Idiot but when I watched the live DVD it completley put me off them 'cos Billy Joe is such a twat. |

| Former Staff Senior Site Staff  | Less Than Jake. Honestly, their actual songwriting has improved, I give them full credit for that, but with the disappearance of the horns and trumpets from their stuff, their poor guitar playing is really shown up. Their songs tend to sound much the same now, which is really unfortunate, since during their ska punk era, they were utterly awesome. The Offspring are another band I have issues with their later albums, but I can kinda understand where they're going. I mean, when they started, they were still bitter and angry, whilst now they're living the good life and everything's sweet for them. It's hard to stay pissed off at the world when everything goes your way. But then, look at NOFX. 23 years, and they get better every album, still making great music and sticking to their punk roots. Having said that, Splinter did have some damn good songs on it. It's far from impossible for them to keep up the quality and shift into a different genre somewhat. |

| Banned  | Okay ... has bugger all to do with the subject at hand ... But I too would like to add Blink to the list. They did go so mature and its like where has the funny slapstick, eg, "All the Small Things" gone?! I barely listen to them now. |

 | Flogging Molly: There first two albums were amazing. They perfected the notion of joining the rebelious and raucous nature of punk with Irish and Celtic songs and jogs. Spoons and guitars, whiskey and flutes, all with a voice that only a mother could love. It makes you think of seas and pirates, jigs and pubs, rebels and chaos... But then their newest album came - Within a Mile of Home. What happened to the greatness I just spoke of you might ask? It was lost with guest singers and musicians accompanying a boring album. The songs were mediocre at best save for one (seven Deadly Sins), and all the rest were far too light, repititive, outright boring, and/or lacking of any means of punk, raucous antics, etc... I wish to have bands evolve and grow, but nor do I wish to have them neglect their greatness for  .Metallica pisses me off now. And ever since his album Fragile, Trent Reznor (NIN for those who are uninformed/uneducated) has become a sad, pathetic, lesser version of what he once was. He was Industrial. He was smurfing awesome. But ever since Fragile, he's sucked more and more, and With Teeth was the worst thing that ever smurfing happened, I swear. The raw, pure nature of his songs are now mediocre pop-esque crap. Marilyn Manson is bothering me also. I want more Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals, not him lying around pretending to philosiphize about Celebretanism and metaphysics. Greenday is, simply and nicely put, ridiculously stupid now. My Chemical Romance has become . The Black Parade is a complete and utter letdown. It's filled with happy, new Greenday sound, Falloutboy and Angels and Airwaves influences. That right there explains what has happened to MCR.What happened to their ability to bridge the gap between rock, punk, and emotive music and mesh them together to create something that wasn't power-pop? What they are now is sad and pathetic. One listen to Dead! after you listen to You Know What They do to Guys Like us in Prison or Demolition Lovers and you will know the horrors of that which I speak. I hate them now and wish to burn my shirt that bears their name lest I be shamed. |
