Whats a band/artist who's music all sounds the same?

and just like Doritos, every once in a while you gorge on a bunch of doritos until you get totally sick of them and swear you don't like them any more. A month goes by and you start snacking on them again because you hopelessly like them.

Dog on the Road

Hard disagree about CCR.

This is the answer.

I appreciate Angus Young's self-awareness.

"I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we’ve put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same."

It is very controversial to say that of the Beatles. Once they stopped doing live shows they reinvented themselves.

Pre 1964 Beatles I will give you. After, say, Revolver? I don’t see how you could compare Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to Tomorrow Never Knows to Martha My Dear to Back in the USSR to Sun King, etc etc etc

Often you can tell it’s the same band, but these are meaningfully different sonic experiences.

Say what you will about AC/DC, nobody else can convey the idea of sweaty testicles in musical form as effectively as they do.

AC/DC music is nothing more than 4 chords and a beat.

And you know, sometimes that's all you need.

The Beatles did evolve over time. Their early stuff all sounds the same and their late stuff all sounds the same, but there's a big difference between their boy band phase and their stoner phase.

AC/DC especially has the same drum rythm for all songs.

I feel like there was at least some variety during the Bon Scott era but yeah everything from Back in Black on is the same.

Whole lotta Rosie is on my husband's workout playlist and it is a jam. So good.

The Beatles is like 4 bands wearing a trenchcoat, so I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I wouldn't even say any individual album is samey from at least sgt peppers on

Multiple bands are just more Nickleback

they went disco for a little bit

I'd say Thunder sounds somewhat different from their other music, and I don't enjoy it at all.

Sabaton is on my go-to playlist whenever I play Valheim.

God The Ramones are such a weak band. I've never understood people's fanaticism.

Oof. That's a tough one. Every song on an album sounds pretty similar, but I feel like each album has a very distinct style from the others.

I get told this a lot. Sure, the range of guitar effects is limited if not non-existant, but fortunately they create a sound I like so... I'm glad they all sound the same? I guess.

I think though with Tool the changes are a lot more subtle than people expect, which makes them bad background music. The timing changes, and beats appearing and disappearing every second bar are not so noticeable unless you're really listening to it.

(Beginning song with bass) bun da dun dun dun dun x20

I love Tool but you're right. Yeah they're pulling all sorts of unexplored timing signatures out of their ass, so each song is technically unique in that respect, but the vibe is fairly consistently dark and meditative. There's some exceptions though, I think The Pot really stands out from the rest of their stuff.

First that came to mind. Can’t stand them. Just boring.

As much as I dislike them, their music has evolved. Their 80s stuff sounds different than their 90s stuff. However, after 'Achung baby', they have not made any interesting music whatsoever. To be honest, 'Achtung baby' did not stand the test of time for me either.

Don't change perfection

I still get The Vultures Ate My Dead Ass Up stuck in my head.

You fuck. Now I have this fucking shit song stuck in my head!

Sorry about my rage ...

Idk, I feel like their first few albums sounded pretty different to the ones that came later.

I feel like it kinda works for him. It's very mellow acoustic folkish music you could just have going on in the background.

Ozfest 2001 was one of the first concerts I went to, right as AWK started his brief rise. Absolute blast to see live, the music was still fresh at that point. And the guy is just a goofball, total respect for him and his act. But you're also 100% correct. You know what you're getting with them. Early 2000s, they were on every bill, they played constantly.

This was true up until Minutes to Midnight came out. They're a lot more versatile these days. I really like their new singer.

Yeah, I think it's very difficult for bands to reinvent themselves, and the majority who try lose fans because of it. The two bands who always spring to kind for me are Radiohead and Brand New, whose discographies are a bit of a roller coaster genre-wise, the former much more so.

Coldplay springs to mind. The Coldplay who released Moon Music last year is an entirely different band to the one who released Parachutes in 2000. I know of few other bands who've gone through such an enormous transformation. And while the newer stuff may not resonate with me the way the early stuff did, it's fair to say that it's worked for them.

To some degree you are correct, however there is a massive difference between a band like AC/DC which had jokingly been said they have have the same album for 40 years, and say Metallica.

Metallica helped define what Thrash Metal is. But listening to Load/Reload vs Ride the Lightning is a huge difference in sound.

And you take it forward another 10 years from Reload the sound has changed all over again.

Very different from AC/DC but then again most bands/artists don't have 50 year careers as the biggest name in their musical setting

AND YET, Pictures of Matchstick Men is a psych masterpiece.

Their radio singles are same sounding, but they have some very different sounding songs that don't get played.

I was just listening to them for the first time in a long while last week. There's a noticeably difference pre and post elevation album.

Haha, agree on that one. I'mma be a lil spicy and say Tankard if we're to stay in the thrash metal genre lol.

Tiger Army can release 10,000 songs that sound exactly like In The Orchard and I'll gladly buy em all 😆

I like most of those bands. Never heard of Tiger Army, but now I’m curious.

That's absolutely wild, her music is all over the place. None of the singles on her new album sounded anything alike lol

I'm not a huge Eilish fan, but "when the party's over" is excellent and very different from everything else I've heard from her.

Oh yes. They have certainly lost their touch.

Also Rammstein or Til Lindemann's solo work (which is just Rammstein with less effort).

Another one is Limp Bizkit. The music has not evolved, even with the new singer.

Bring in the downvotes.

As a teenage metalhead of the 90s, little has distressed me more than literally everything Metallica have released since St Anger.

I really, really dug Load and ReLoad. They were different to what had come before, but they still had a hard rock edge to them that I loved. Then Jason quit, and The Corporation Of James And Lars hired the formely mighty Rob Trujillo and set about their plan to record the same indistinguishable wall of noise over and over again until people stopped bothering to even pirate their music.

I disagree on that one. If you listen to Adrenaline and then skip forward to Private music there's barely any resemblance left.

I will agree though that their overall vibe has remained consistent, but I think that speaks to their vision of the band instead of a lack of creativity.

Gore is very stylistically different

Also his cousin, Marvin Berry.

I love evanescence, but tbh their indie stuff is a LOT better than their new stuff, with the exception of fallen. Fallen was peak evanescence. Al their new stuff is mid if that

I guess you stopped listening to Radiohead after Kid A? Really, really bad take.

Mamaleek change up the sound on every album, and still have their defining mood and are different from everyone else. If I want the different Mamaleek sounds, I listen to the different albums.

About the same with King Crimson, I think, but with longer series of albums.

YOOOOOOOO sorry but this is my all time favorite band and Ive gotta stick up for them. They have an unmistakable signature sound, yes, but not every song sounds the same like AC/DC par examplé as other people have rightly cited.

If you'd kindly take 2 mins to listen to a bit of the following songs I pulled off the top of my head and are still willing to say all their songs sound the same then I dont know what to say:

Here's the standard kinda song you're probably thinking about, You off of No Control:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PgiBpTtao

Then put on Struck a Nerve from Recipe for Hate:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vY-EXZkXWYA

Then Television from Stranger than Fiction:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-8hlEAJZdM

Then Turn Your Back on Me from Dissent of Man:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pqt38l_qTk

Then Faces of Grief from Age of Unreason:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xpO7S29SgxQ

Thanks. For extra credit, they also had an album they kind of would everyone to forget about that was leaning into a kind of proggy sound, closer to The Who than their own sound if you want something thats way off in the wilderness:

Metallica's fandom has fractured every single album release after Ride the Lightning. My best friend in high school and I almost threw hands over the Black album and it's because that was the one we agreed on

You are so wrong
