Rape of Lucretia S Metal Crusader B Trying to appeal to their audience if you ask me. Why wouldn't you want to appeal to your audience? That's an insult to the audience. Which are mostly teens that don't yet know what they really like (not that most people who listen to this music ever find out what they really like). And in turn, this is an insult to the music, considering this music lacks what is usually called "creativity" and "artistic license." In other words, The Used is just making a sound that will be consumed and bought. This is the fate of most bands that let money go to their head. No genre or era of music is immune to this.

Making music that appeals to fans of somebody's music isn't always bad. Sure, I love it when bands evolve their style with every album, but sometime I wish they had stayed the same. If a band doesn't want to take a chance, I say that they have every right to make the same sounding music that they have, and keep their fans, rather than losing some with changing their style. It's very lazy admittedly, but some people are xenophobic.

It's very lazy admittedly, but some people are xenophobic. It's not about changing the sound, really. It's really just about one band making their debut sound then just capitalizing on that sound. They make albums that repeat the sound of that album over and over again because it sells and keeps the fans buying. It's not too much to ask to have an artist make albums that don't just copy the sound of their previous albums. This is one band that has done just that, literally just made the same album over and over again. So many bands have done this, it's really too bad. The only thing different about the new albums is that they're new songs, but new songs in the same style get old. And if a band is worried about losing a select group of fans because they changed their sound, then it's just showing they have little faith in their current fans, and little faith in gaining new ones because they slightly changed their sound and interested new people in them. This is one of the bands that won't be relevant in the next 25 years because they haven't changed their sound yet. They're not Madonna, they're not Santana. It really is too bad, 'cause so many bands fall into obscurity due to an unwillingness to do more with the music they make. You're right about it being lazy, though, and xenophobic, but that is why these bands fail after several years and a few albums. As I have stated twice already, it truly is too bad.

I'm not disagreeing. I'm just saying that it's their choice to be narrow-minded musically, and so I'm not going to complain about it. People still like it, and so they'll continue to buy it. It's a lazy way to stay popular now, and a short-sighted mistake, because they're pretty much digging their own grave for the future. I'm not going to feel sorry for them if they're treating music as some mundane thing.

They treat the music they make like a product and not an art.
