Now here's a topic to think about. Lots of bands tend to either stay consistently good (Motorhead), consistently bad (Linkin Park), go to shit (Metallica), or hit unpredictable spurts of good, bad, and just plain stupid (Black Sabbath).

Care to say which bands are like a fine wine to you?

Somehow, each new Angels of Light album manages to top all the previous ones. Anything Michael Gira does seems to get only better as he keeps doing it.

Apocalyptica.



I would have said Electric Wizard, but their last two albums were pretty standard fare.

If you're talking about bands that still exist, Tool would be a great example. They started with uh... alternative metal (their first full-lenght album, Undertow in 1993) and after that became a trippy progressive-rock band (their other three albums: Ænima, Lateralus and 10,000 Days).

Undertow was awesome. Lateralus sucked.

Blind Guardian. Their first album (and maybe the second but I've never heard it) was ridiculous boring bland speed metal, and then they started to make music with actual melody and harmony and subtlety!!

On the bright side, they've gotten better live. And I hope the new album (If it ever comes out) sounds a bit more surreal and out-of-this-world than We Live!. They just sounded like a band on that one.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the last two plenty. It's just that they really didn't even get near Dopethrone.

There must be something wrong with me, but I have always thought that the Wizard's first album was the best.
