Don't worry, if it happens just make sure the next album is even worse and the damage is undone

I don't know much behind the scenes of Joy Division, would they have gone that way with Ian anyway or not?

>>127324985 (OP)
John Mayer. I think artists do that who have to do a pop sound to get the radio hits, then alternate with something more experimental, more something they want to do.
>>127324995
Fleetwood Mac up to Rumours. Nobody even remembers them being a blues band.

For some reason Jewel Kilcher comes to mind

>>127330514
its possible i doubt ian wouldve wanted to go full electronic but they were already heading towards more synth. either way ians epilepsy was getting worse so its very likely he wouldnt be in the band very much longer anyway

>>127329844
Radiohead except they don't make dance music.

>>127328148
>Band gets worse and worse but the fanboys insist it's just 'evolving'

>>127330514
Probably not since Ian fucking sucks and kills everything with this deadpan wailing and dog shit lyrics.

You'd be aurprised how many people feel this way about Hüsker Dü with Zen Arcade -> New Day Rising.

>>127331094
check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_After_All#Recording

they basically just recorded it rushed as fuck, complete opposite of discovery

Ah yes the classic rock band with 2 keyboardists and a DJ while the singer raps verses

>>127336098
dj scratching does not disqualify rock. they have a drum kit and bass

>>127336110
By that logic Linking Park and Limp Bizkit are rock bands too

Nobody but you thinks they're rock bands, nu-metal at best.

>>127337074
metal isn't rock?

>>127324985 (OP)
Hot take - Anathema. Silent Enigma is their best and the songs on Eternity are great, but goddamn do I hate how its recorded and performed, especially Vincent's vocals. Not there yet at all. Might've been great if it sounded like their Judgement era.

>>127324985 (OP)

According to one of the surviving members, Ian was really into Kraftwerk around the time he died, so it's pretty likely that they would have gone further in that direction had he lived, but not as poppy or as bright as the sound that New Order would end up going with
You can already see that change of direction with Isolation and Love Will Tear Us Apart, both written with Ian

>>127331157
this, based Skym enjoyer. LAGER LAGER

this is one of the few good threads and it's constantly being slid by all the other bullshit. god this board is a shithole

Canarios with Ciclos. They went from an awful spanish pop/rock band to create a prog rock masterpiece out of nowhere.

>band releases best album
>release shitty ironic cover song straight after
>cover song becomes big hit
>gets thrown on best album as a bonus track
>everybody associates shitty ironic cover song with album now
>re-releases with better sound quality also have the shitty ironic cover song
>doomed to forever skip the last track on the album now

>>127330676
>Burial with Untrue.
Ok that's just Untrue because Burial has the most consistent output.

>>127329844
Daft Punk probably the most famous example of this

>band is called "Big Country"
>song is called "In a Big Country"
>song is about being in a Big Country

Furthermore, the song states:
> in a big country dreams stay with you
> Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
> Stay alive

an entirely plausible and unobjectionable statement. There's nothing to complain about with this band and they seem to be on the right side of every possible point of contention.

basically the entire song is about being in a big country, and everything about the song (including the band name, and the liberal use of reverb in the song's production) is accurate as far as the experience and overall aesthetic sensation of being in a big country.
