Ah, no, I saw her on The Greatest tour and she was caked in make-up, it was horrible, having admired her on the cover of Moon Pix and whatnot. She's SO CASH now, it's gross.

Cat Power. Not that she got bad but she lost the incredibleness she once posessed. Same goes for Xiu Xiu. Women as Lovers is nowhere near A Promise or Knife Play.

Modest Mouse
Taking Back Sunday(Yeah. I said it. I dig Tell All Your Friends)
Hot Hot Heat

Good call on Modest Mouse. This could probably be said for a lot of "indie" bands; The Shins, Death Cab For Cutie, etc...

women as lovers is still very very good

this is a thread about bands that went from good to bad, not from good to slightly less good.

Monster Magnet started out as an incredible band, but ever since they turned into the Dave Wyndorf Show, they bore me senseless.

dEUS, since "Pocket Revolution"(next to last album).

Melly^^Agreed, and their new album is particularly awful.

the nuge!

The vines, but they weren't doing much anyways.

I'm beginning to think that Electric Wizard are descending into crapness - their last album was very underwhelming, to say the least.

The Mission's first LP had two strong songs on it, and their second had three strong songs on it (one of which was very strong). Then it all went wrong.

merzbow got shit after his 253rd release

Ah yes, that famously difficult 254th LP. It happens to them all.

Is that the one called "I'm Really Not Trying Now, You Know?" :D

I never got the praise for that. But then noise is not really my thing.

Well, if Merzbow made an album based on recordings of your hotness, you'd soon be changing your mind, eh? ;)

are you flirting with me?

Yes. No. Yes. Can I blow you a kiss?

Are you cheating on me?

No. Yes. No. Can I give you a cuddle?
