Did you ever like a band or artist at one point but then later on realized or decided that they absolutely sucked or vice versa (hated a band, but then later liked it)? Share your stories of enlightenment or disillusion here and the circumstances surrounding them!
This is an off-shoot of this topic, but in a slightly different and broader sense.

I don't think I've ever liked a band and then stopped liking them, unless it's in the case of new albums not being worth listening to (Metallica). But even then, I still like their old stuff. I think Opeth is the biggest case of a band I couldn't listen to at first, but now they're in my top five bands. Other than them, there aren't really any bands that come to mind. Although there are plenty of bands I don't like quite as much as I used to. Too many to name.

but then again, I myself don't listen to a lot of rock music or metal to begin with. (Yeah, I said it. If have a problem with that...............)Flint the Dwarf wrote:I don't think I've ever liked a band and then stopped liking them,
Timbaland & Magoo. I wouldn't say that I dislike them, because they can still put out a hot single. But when I heard some of what was on one of their last albums, it was just horrible.
If I've done a total 180 on an artist, I guess I would have to choose Petey Pablo. 1 hit single, 1 one garbage (first) album. In my opinion he was one the worst rappers in the country. As to how he got nominated for a Grammy, let alone album of the year had MTV, BET, radio stations across the country, and many people very confused. He comes out with a new single and new album and I think he's doing a lot better.
BTW, paizuri, I think you should change the word band to artist(s) in the subject of this thread. I think the word band limits this topic to just rock and metal, and we all know that there are genre's of music out there. Maybe, you should stick this topic too.
[paizuri: Yeah good point. I'll change the title.]

I pulled a 180 when Max Cavellera(sp) who was ex Sepultura left and made soulfly, their new vocalist for sep made me sick to my stomach.
Also Cannibal Corpse as well I just cannot stand George Fishers vocals they also just make me sick, Vile was good he had a good tune then but once gallery of suicide hit, I went NFWay...
Yeah and Six Feet Under is pretty piss poor with their new shit, Haunted to Maximum Violence(thumbs up) anything after it... *pukes*
:Note: CC olds vocalist is now growling for SFU hense the interconnectivity or relivance

My first album by The Fall was Fiend With a Violin, and it was terrible. My second Fall album, at least five years later, was I Am Kurious Oranj, and I loved it immensely. It turns out Fiend was a poorly-assembled compilation of crap, but then Kurious Oranj isn't their best work either but it's leaps and bounds ahead of Fiend.
Similar story: Sonic Youth, Goo, 1993, hate. Thought it was boring and messy and longwinded and loud. Sonic Youth, Daydream Nation, 2001, love. Still messy and longwinded and loud, but much more accessible. Goo simply wasn't a good jumping-on point for a kid who'd just recently graduated from a strict musical diet of Weird Al to Nirvana/Pearl Jam. (This was around the same period when I saw the video for the Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" that went clear over my head, delaying my love for the Pixies by a number of years.)
And I still can't listen to Blind Melon after that nasty intestinal virus ruined the album for me. I used to like them quite a bit, too.

More extreme music is definitely one of those things that can grow on you -- you hear a band to start off, hate them, come back in a couple more years with some more experience and depth of understanding, and you appreciate them more.
Case in point: Incantation. I first got ahold of the Diabolical Conquest disc back in 1998 when the heaviest I was listening to was Slayer, and didn't react to it that well at all. Flash forward through the CM Firestarter comp, Hypocrisy turning me on to death metal as opposed to just black metal, a lot more and more brutal music, and I come back to Diabolical Conquest in 2000 or so and just let it keep rolling on repeat. It's one of the few albums that I wish I had ripped to bring over to Germany, but didn't; this kind of extreme skull-sucking alternation of absolute speed and mud-slow grinding is one of the kind of apogees of brutal death metal, and it's a lot easier to listen to than Mortician.
So, either personal change, or I'm slowly going deaf like the wussies say happens to people that listen to this music and I just can't tell any more.
