I won't criticize a band for changing their sound. It's their music, their creativity, and their choice. That doesn't mean I have to like it though. A7X and All That Remains both took a similar trajectory where they got less hard over the years. A7X took it to the extreme with their last two albums. Waking the Fallen, City of Evil, Self Titled, and Nightmare, I could listen to start to finish and enjoy every minute. Hail to the King felt uninspired, and the Stage and Life is But a Dream are to abstract for my tastes. In the case with ATR, The Fall of Ideals is imo their best work.
