Skillet…… even tho their last couple albums have been repetitive as hell, they came a long way releasing 5 albums that most people haven’t even heard before hitting it big with their 6th album “comatose” still holds up as being a great and unique sounding album imo
Huey Lewis and The News is a good example. Their early work was a little too new wave but when "Sports" came out in '83 I think they went into their own, commercially and artistically.
I feel the same way about Phil Collins. I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent.
In honor of The Black Parade's 16th birthday, I'm going to have to say My Chemical Romance. I have a soft spot for I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, but if you had told me in 2002 that MCR was going to make one of the most definitive and emotionally intense concept albums in rock just four years later, I would have politely asked what you were on.
They went from generic emo rockers to one of the most conceptually ambitious bands of all time. In fact, their story is kind of similar to Radiohead in a way.
@The dog fr Raditude "generic emo" is not fair at all in my opinion. They weren't 'ahead of their time' or 'outside of the zeitgeist' when they put out their debut but they were definitely among the best done, at that time. Three Cheers was literally a logical step between Bulllets and Parade. I don't disagree too much with your point but I listened to the first two as much as I've listened to Black Parade, to date, by the time The Black Parade came out. I reserve the right to lol
Some other bands I can think of - Gorillaz - Gorillaz (2001) - Smashing Pumpkins - Gish (1991) - Queen - Queen (1973) - The Beatles - Please Please Me (1963) - Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden (1980) - Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age (1998) - Metallica - Kill ‘Em All (1983) - Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1983) - Ghost - Opus Eponymous (2010) - Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out (2005) - Pantera - Metal Magic (1983) - Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967) - The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones/England’s Newest Hit Makers (1964)
@@RockedNet Thanks, one other band I realized I forgot to mention before (but just did) were The Beatles considering just how much sonic experimentation and later innovation they did since their debut Please Please Me in 1963 and how their constant chasing of tones (in my own words) helped them become one of the most iconic rock groups of all time
@@whenfatkillsfat803 Not to mention both going on to put out some of their greatest releases before they hit their fifth album (Sheer Heart Attack and A Night at the Opera (album 3 and 4 for Queen) and Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness (Albums 2 and 3 for the Pumpkins))
I still think the Gorillaz debut is their best. I know, unpopular opinion. But nothing is more evident than Pantera's evolution. I honestly don't think anyone would call pre-Cowboys stuff their best.
As a 90's Deftones fan, I can definitely appreciate how far their songwriting has come since and do love almost every record they've put out for different reasons (except Gore, not big on that one). Hell, Ohms is in the upper half of their discography for me
OHMS is what I call a "lean" album; where a long-time band tallies up their strengths and focuses just on that. Super tight, all killer, no filler. GORE is on the opposite end; it's weird, experimental, and doesn't make sense the first time you listen to it. Nothing wrong with either (I rather like GORE) but they're two different beasts.
Same here, it’s crazy how they’ve evolved so much yet they still very much sound like the same band. & Ohms felt like a stroke of genius, I hear elements of all their albums in it, still sounds like Deftones, but somehow reinvigorated & fresh at the same time
@@chrono050 That's the biggest take on Gore. There's a great album in there but the mixing was questionable. All the instruments were over-compressed & vocals were way to clean-lined. Antithesis of the Deftones ''Wall of Sound''
"The Bends" by Radiohead is one of the most fascinating (and great) music albums to me because its almost like in production they are fighting a battle inside themselves between the radio friendly sound of Pablo Honey that had put them on the map with songs like Creep while underneath a different darker version of Radiohead is trying to force its way to the surface. By the time Street Spirit finishes, that is the case. In the space of a single album they have turned into something so different, setting the foundation for every Radiohead album that followed
Awesome Video! Maynard may still be a teenager at heart, but nothing says "adulting" like owning a winery🍇🍷 I say do the follow up on bands that never change their sound. I like when you point ish out, even if it's a band I like😅
Rush is an amazing example of this. From the classic blues rock of their debut, to prog rock pioneers, to prog pop (?), electronic crossover and back to hard prog. Insane
Devin Townsend. From his Steve Vai days to Strapping Young Lad, to DTP and beyond, his music evolves and changed as he does. With 25+ albums to his credit spanning 29 years, which he's written, produced, mixed, arranged and played most of the instruments, not to mention having one of the most diverse and powerful voices, Hevy Devy is a prog metal Einstein.
I remember reading an interview quote from Jerry Cantrell (IIRC) where he said that a lot of bands don’t really hit their stride until their second or third album. Solid list, and I appreciate artists who can grow and evolve 💯
Not to be that one viewer but...Ghost. No single album of their backlog really seems to sound the same except their first two and that I pin down to their first album being a full length Demo and their second album was meant to be an improved version of that sound
Ministry comes to mind. They started out as Synthpop, then migrated over to Industrial Metal and stayed there ever since. Uncle Al doesn't like to acknowledge that it exists, but their synth stuff is actually pretty good. "Everyday is Halloween" is a good addition to any Halloween playlist.
The jump from With Sympathy to The Land of R*pe and Honey must have been massive whiplash back in the 80s lol. Then from Dark Side of the Spoon to Houses of the Molé.
Deftones is an example of how a rock/metal band SHOULD experiment and change their sound. Always trying something new with different sounds and genres on every album, but also making sure their roots are still intact and everything still resembles classic Deftones. Meanwhile AC/DC hasn’t done anything original in decades, and Fall Out Boy is now an EDM group apparently. Take some notes!
A couple I would add, along with their debut albums: • Porcupine Tree - _On the Sunday of Life..._ (1992) I know they're not likely to ever come up in a Rocked video, but this is one subject where I feel like they'd really fit. It's really incredible to me, looking back on their superb body of work, to know that their origins were _literally_ as a joke band that Steven Wilson devised for laughs. They're a band whose work can be pretty neatly broken into different periods: their neo-psychedelia / space rock period, their alt-rock period, their progressive metal period (and now, _Closure/Continuation,_ which I actually think has a lot more in common sonically with the solo work Wilson did during the band's 13-year hiatus than the last PT album before it). • Anathema - _Serenades_ (1993) Maybe not as well known as the bands mentioned in the video, but they absolutely qualify. Seriously, I can't believe their first album is the same band responsible for their output in the 2010s. They started as a growling gothic doom metal band, and over the course of the next 20 years gradually became a prog rock act responsible for some of the most uplifting and genuinely prettiest songs you're ever likely to hear.
Seriously, more people need to know about Porcupine Tree. Their latest single, Herd Culling is fantastic, especially for this Halloween season. Too late for Luke to cover it on one of his streams, unfortunately, but I hope it gets checked out at some point regardless.
Carcass definitely changed a lot after Reek. If you listen to that album and then listened to Heartwork and Surgical Steel, Jeff’s vocals are practically the only thing that would help you recognize they’re the same band.
@@jackko21 when they helped pioneer Melodeath. I am a fan of every era of Carcass. Never a bad album, even their Death n' Roll content. I would argue Bill Steer has a very signature/recognizable guitar style & tone as well.
@@PinkyJujubean it's too clean in my opinion that goes for alot of melodeath it's all sounds safe the only melodeath band I like is intestine baalism as they have melody but they don't sacrifice the heaviness it's still heavy as anything and brutal
Chevelle is such a consistently great band, with only two post-debut albums that I wouldn't consider great, but still good. _Niratias_ may even be their best yet.
I watched the video and I like all the bands discussed and appreciate artistic growth. Your idea for bands that have not changed might be interesting because I would be positively impressed to hear what you have to say on the subject - I'm not really aware of anyone whose music I could say that about, maybe it's the music that I.listen to
Sum 41 is another good example. All Killer No Filler was a solid album, but Does This Look Infected and Chuck are even bigger steps up. Heck their more recent stuff’s really good too.
I wouldn't say they so much changed their sound as they did get better at songwriting, but Red Hot Chili Peppers. The self-titled, Freaky Styley and Uplift Mofo Party Plan are solid enough, but I see Mother's Milk as being their first truly great album that gave way for them to release a much stronger album with Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
While I fully agree, you're gonna get some backlash for this take, I'm sure. A lot of "fans" who say everything after Mothers Milk was trash (yes, even BSSM)
@@Capnsensible80 There are also people who say everything before Mother's Milk was garbage and that John F is what really made the band great. While he is awesome, Flea is a core part of the sound and Hillel is underrated. Freaky Styley and especially Uplift have lot of very cool stuff. I am more in the old school camp and don't care for 2000's Peppers as much, but definetly don't hate them and they always sound at least decent. The new album actually seemed really cool.
Deftones Adrenaline is one of my favorite albums of all time. Engine number nine was their closing song at concerts for years and that song live hits hard.
She's not rock but an artist that evolved over the years is Sade. Going from Pop/Smooth Jazz to Adult Contemporary and Quiet Storm. I didn't know who she was until I was 18 and caught the music video for "Soldier of Love" on TV. She's now one of my favorite artists.
silverchair changed immensely over their career, but that might have a lot to do with the fact that they were 15 when Frogstomp was released, so their music matured with them. Nine Inch Nails have also travelled in all kinds of directions since Pretty Hate Machine.
Avenged Sevenfold is my best example. 'Sounding the Seventh Trumpet' is.... rough, and saying that is very generous. Then came 'Waking the Fallen' which was a big step up, and with 'City of Evil' that was where they really found their stride. I definitely prefer the hard rock style they've established now, to the more metalcore sounds of their yester-years.
Deftones growth is clear as day. Chino has evolved even beyond that with Team Sleep and Crosses...not to mention Palms. I enjoy what they do. The only record I was kinda 🤷🏿♂about was Gore. Everything else has been 🤘🏿😝
As a massive Chevelle fan, I appreciate the gradual progression that kept a signature style, but sounds and structure would continue to vary. A music equivalent of a house renovation
What I love about Deftones is each of their albums are a different ''mood''. As far as fully-realized albums [to me] are Around the Fur, Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokan, & OHMS. But I just love Deftones so anything from them is solid.
I'd add Pantera in because they are a case of a double change if you consider cowboys from hell their first album then the jump to vulgar display of power is huge or even just the jump from the glam albums to cowboys.
I know he doesn’t do rankings but ACDC would easily be the top pick there, i don’t hate them but damn their music can sound like the same 5/6 songs with different lyrics sometimes
Paramore started out decently enough with All We Know Is Falling. Then came Riot… Then Brand New Eyes… The Untitled album… After Laughter… and now the upcoming This Is Why. Despite the lineup changes, they’ve stayed consistently solid music-wise and evolved amazingly from their early pop punk days.
Between the Buried and Me started off as a pretty by the numbers metalcore band and morphed into what they are now starting with Colors, with Alaska being kind of an in between album
Trivium has a pretty solid evolution from Ascendancy to albums like Shogun and in waves love the vocal progression of Matt Heafy from harsh screams to polished clean vocals as well as more polished guitar bass and percussion.
Kraftwerk is a good example. Their electronic revolution didn't come with the 1st album, but with Autobahn, their 4th album. And every following LP is a step ahead in the electronic music history.
The Moody Blues (ie one of the most underrated bands of all time) went from boring Merseybeat on their first album “The Magnificent Moodies” in 1965, to the Prog Rock pioneers they became with their second album “Days of Future Passed” in 1967.
I would also include Thrice which is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated bands ever, they started playing as a standard emo band, but then they evolved and started making really solid and interesting music, they really have evolved as musicians, it's like a totally different band, their last records are incredible, it's always a band that I like to recommend
The jump from Rocka Rolla to Sad Wings of Destiny is incredible. Like you said, RR isn't a bad album. But it's so straightforward compared to kicking off the next one with 8 minutes of Victim of Changes
Kamelot started out as an Iron Maiden imitation band, but when Roy figured out that he didn't have to emulate the vocal style of IM they started to really put out amazing music
I LOVE THAT AFI WAS ON HERE! Totally would've added MCR but other than that im glad Green Day wasn't on here because i went in expecting them to. Not that i don't think they fit the criteria but they're just always on these types of lists lol
Deathspell Omega started out as a conventional lo-fi black metal act but following their second album they transitioned into an avant-garde act with dense lyrics and themes. They still continue with their musical and lyrical ambitions. Ulver started as a folky black metal act that following their debut Bergtatt made a folk album, then a lo-fi black metal record before quickly abandoning black metal with their fourth album and subsequently ditching metal altogether in favour of a more experimental electronic/ambient sound. Dir En Grey started out as a Visual Kei style band with their early albums but shifted into a more avant-garde metal band that has experimented with various genres like Nu-Metal, Alt Metal, Prog and Death metal. Summoning started out as a more traditional Second Wave style black metal band but from their second album they transitioned into a more unique and influential Epic sound that was synth heavy and eventually started to incorporate clean choir like vocals.
Disturbed has slightly evolved themselves over the years from going nu-metal to being an inbetween of nu-metal and hard rock with just an album difference from The Sickness to Believe. Then when they've gotten to Ten Thousand Fists and Indestructible, their sound has matured and has continued throughout the releases after those two. They've solidified themselves as one of the recognized names in hard rock/metal. Iron Maiden was a band that transitioned night and day, many people believed that Iron Maiden started with Bruce Dickinson, but there was in fact an Iron Maiden album before Number of the Beast and with a totally different vocalist. It was just that Number of the Beast was the rocket that sent the band into many heights afterwards and Bruce leading the way. Slipknot is another band similar in vein to Iron Maiden, began as a different vocally fronted band, became entirely different when Corey Taylor entered the picture.
Luke I'd add The Gathering and Paradise Lost. Both started in similar places but over the past near 30 years they're completely different. Two of my favorite bands for sure.
Love this channel. Can anyone recommend any new hard rock that isn't "butt rock"? Everything sounds the same to me and I grew up loving hard rock and heavy metal.
Failure can be put onto this list, From Comfort to Wild Type Droid their sound changed through the years, maybe Comfort and Magnified can sound "similar" but during Fantastic Planet, the band found their sound and years past they've master their style and sound with the newest albums they put out since 2015.
Came here to say: Opeth. They changed their style, Mikael became a much better singer, they've added keyboards, changed their style again and keep experimenting with the 70s hard rock and prog "worship" while still feeling fresh. But then again I'm a huge fan of theirs (as you can probably tell) and I've loved everything they've done. Would also like to add Porcupine Tree, Leprous, Katatonia and Pain of Salvation.
I'm gonna risk having a bunch of old punk dudes tell me I'm what's wrong with music by saying I think AFI's early skatepunk era is their WEAKEST era. Like it's not awful, there were just a bazillion other bands that sounded just like that. After Jade Puget joined, we got 'Black Sails in the Sunset', which I personally consider the debut album of the 'real' AFI. Also their current 80s postpunk period is something I'm actually really loving, its a shame that mainstream audiences stopped paying attention after the 'CrashLove' album. 'Bodies' is hit and miss but 'Burials' and 'Blood' are such fantastic dark and moody alt-rock records.
Victorius is a band that started with standard power metal and leaned hard into the cheesey power metal with their new albums about Dinosaurs fighting Ninjas. And I LOVE it!
I'd say some bands with impressive evolutions include: Iron Maiden, Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Amorphis, Avatar, Mastodon, Opeth, Enslaved, and Avenged Sevenfold.
A lot of these bands I don't disagree with wanting to spotlight them, but one that I do feel was overlooked in this... Is Messugah. From just another metal band, to completely revolutionizing metal and all but single-handedly starting an entirely new subgenre (something so few can say they did alone) in djent. Like the subgenre and the potential oversaturation of it, but you have to give them the fact they changed from another in the crowd, to godfathers of a genre, and still one of the best in it. Not just started it and others refined it.
Rocka Rolla was an excellent album. Problem was, this was 1974 - Bob Marley, Steely Dan, Van Morrison, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ELO, Bowie, TWO Queen albums...Merely excellent drowned in the flood.
Faith No More I think deserves an honourable mention. Although they aren't touring right now because of Patton's mental health issues, they dramatically overhauled their style after their debut album, and "Ashes to Ashes" is still one of my favourite go-to songs...
I kind of feel Dethklok is worth mentioning. Like Dethalbum I is still overall good in my opinion (especially Go Forth & Die and Briefcase Full of Guys) ,but it’s certainly rougher due to how Brendon Small was the only member at that point since even Gene Hoglan was on the record his influence had yet to reach the music. But yeah Dethalbums II and III are a major improvement and you can buy the idea that they’re supposed to be “the greatest band of all time” more than the first one. Although I am definetly curious as to what Dethalbum IV has in store considering how they’re set to release the first new music in over ten years.
Whitechapel is another good example. Their songwriting has improved so much. They haven't necessarily imroved with each album--Self-titled through Mark of the Blade pale in comparison to A New Era... and are not markedly better or worse than the first 2 albums, but The Valley and Kin are phenomenal. And those 3 lesser albums were necessary to evolve into these last 2 albums
Another band in the deathcore genre that evolved a lot was Whitechapel from The Somatic Defilement (2007) to the latest album Kin (2021). It's almost an obvious shift to an alternative rock style with Phil's deathcore vocals backing the heavy parts, but mostly layered with his clean singing.
I saw Muse supporting Feeder in 1999 and never would have thought they’d go on to be an interesting band. Before they came on the venue was playing Radiohead’s “OK Computer” over the soundsystem. After they’d played their first few songs I overheard a few people saying “They should have just left the Radiohead album on instead of bringing out this third-rate Radiohead wannabe lot”. That comment is probably the only reason I even remember anything about them playing that night. Feeder were so great I barely thought about anything else for ages.
Type O Negative is another example of a band that changed with every output. They started as a crossover/thrash metal band with a tinge of goth, transitioned to something completely different 2 years later when they released Bloody Kisses, and again with October Rust, etc. I want to see your video about bands that never changed 🤘.
Undertow will always be my favorite Tool album. I love the other albums but I like the rawness and I like their shorter songs. However, I do agree that they improved after Undertow.
A band that is highly underrated, Kiss, their sound changed slightly on their first couple of albums, made a big change on Destroyer, but then took a complete style on Dynasty and, then again on Creatures of the Night.
Considering how many styles this band has and my inability to shut up about them, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard comes to mind, despite still liking the debut. Genesis also came to mind even though I've warmed up to the debut a little bit, though despite being fine with the Collins era stuff I do start to miss Steve Hackett's guitar, and there are some songs that I admittedly would be fine with not hearing again (Throwing it All Away for example).
What about Avenged Sevenfold? The first album was very heavy, mostly screaming. The second was half screaming, half clean. The third was very commercially successful with mostly clean vocals. They’ve continued to evolve, maybe not to as massive an extent as others mentioned in the vid, but listen to Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, and then listen to The Stage. The difference is clear!
I'm surprised silverchair isn't on the list they changed alot personally I prefer frogstomp over the later stuff but they are a band that changed so much
I always like to think of how Pink Floyd will fit one of these lists, and they do here. Not only for changing their sound, but also in the fact that they're technically back in the game this year, with a new single released ("Hey Hey Rise Up"). They started with psychedelic rock on Piper at the Gates of Dawn, beginning to steer away from that after kicking Syd out, until their most commercially successful period where they had become prog rock. However, their change after Roger left into a much more pop-influenced style can't be ignored. Yes, every style they settled on was still influenced by what came before and it was absolutely a natural-feeling progression, but put Piper, Dark Side, and Division Bell next to each other and you could swear these are all different bands (I mean, it helps that each has a different creative lead--Syd, Roger, David, respectively; would have been fun to see a Rick-led album, but not really a Nick one, because he didn't want to be a front man, it seems, which is fair for a drummer to feel that way).
An easy one is Genesis. Their first album "From Genesis to Revelation" was an earnest but amateurish attempt at 60s art pop by a group of teenagers who didn't really have much say over their direction. "Trespass" was a huge step up.
I submit a band very appropriate for the month of October. Type O Negative. Such a dynamic turn from "Slow Deep and Hard" to "Bloody Kisses". In fact all of their albums have their own unique sound, but still feeling like Type O
Can't think of a wilder band evolution than with Xysma. Within less than a decade they went from being goregrind pioneers to death metal to death 'n' roll to stoner/garage rock to retro(ish) rock, and finally to pop territories. And all the while putting out quality material without a hint of selling out.
Swans: -Debut was industrial rock -“Cop” was basically sludge metal -Next 3 albums were gothic rock -Following 3 were more Americana -“Great Annihilator” was alternative -“Soundtracks for the Blind” was a masterpiece, no genre -“My Father…” was a neofolk-rock type thing -The following 3 were super experimental -Most recent was almost gothic country

GORE is on the opposite end; it's weird, experimental, and doesn't make sense the first time you listen to it.
Nothing wrong with either (I rather like GORE) but they're two different beasts.
Same here, it’s crazy how they’ve evolved so much yet they still very much sound like the same band. & Ohms felt like a stroke of genius, I hear elements of all their albums in it, still sounds like Deftones, but somehow reinvigorated & fresh at the same time
I love Gore but i'm not big on SNW . Gore's mixing is bad though
@@chrono050 That's the biggest take on Gore. There's a great album in there but the mixing was questionable. All the instruments were over-compressed & vocals were way to clean-lined. Antithesis of the Deftones ''Wall of Sound''
"The Bends" by Radiohead is one of the most fascinating (and great) music albums to me because its almost like in production they are fighting a battle inside themselves between the radio friendly sound of Pablo Honey that had put them on the map with songs like Creep while underneath a different darker version of Radiohead is trying to force its way to the surface.
By the time Street Spirit finishes, that is the case. In the space of a single album they have turned into something so different, setting the foundation for every Radiohead album that followed
Awesome Video!
Maynard may still be a teenager at heart, but nothing says "adulting" like owning a winery🍇🍷
I say do the follow up on bands that never change their sound. I like when you point ish out, even if it's a band I like😅
Rush is an amazing example of this. From the classic blues rock of their debut, to prog rock pioneers, to prog pop (?), electronic crossover and back to hard prog. Insane
Yeah, while I like their first album, it's clear they wanted to be Led Zeppelin SO MUCH.
@@bonecanoe86 That and Neil debuted on the second album.
This is the band I was thinking of. I love the prog-rock Rush. But I also wish they did another album in the same style as their first.
Devin Townsend. From his Steve Vai days to Strapping Young Lad, to DTP and beyond, his music evolves and changed as he does. With 25+ albums to his credit spanning 29 years, which he's written, produced, mixed, arranged and played most of the instruments, not to mention having one of the most diverse and powerful voices, Hevy Devy is a prog metal Einstein.
I remember reading an interview quote from Jerry Cantrell (IIRC) where he said that a lot of bands don’t really hit their stride until their second or third album. Solid list, and I appreciate artists who can grow and evolve 💯
Not to be that one viewer but...Ghost. No single album of their backlog really seems to sound the same except their first two and that I pin down to their first album being a full length Demo and their second album was meant to be an improved version of that sound
But....ghost sucks!!!!!!!
Ministry comes to mind. They started out as Synthpop, then migrated over to Industrial Metal and stayed there ever since. Uncle Al doesn't like to acknowledge that it exists, but their synth stuff is actually pretty good. "Everyday is Halloween" is a good addition to any Halloween playlist.
Came here to say that, Ministry did a 180
The jump from With Sympathy to The Land of R*pe and Honey must have been massive whiplash back in the 80s lol. Then from Dark Side of the Spoon to Houses of the Molé.
Depeche Mode was pure preteen synthpop on their first album or two and then went super dark by the time of Songs of Faith and Devotion
Deftones is an example of how a rock/metal band SHOULD experiment and change their sound. Always trying something new with different sounds and genres on every album, but also making sure their roots are still intact and everything still resembles classic Deftones. Meanwhile AC/DC hasn’t done anything original in decades, and Fall Out Boy is now an EDM group apparently. Take some notes!
I got 3 bands who I would’ve included:
Sum 41 - All Killer, No Filler
Paramore - All We Know is Falling
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Self-Titled (1983)
Solid choices. I can see why.
BMTH have such a solid catalog. Radio bangers, breakdowns and blast beats.
A couple I would add, along with their debut albums:
• Porcupine Tree - _On the Sunday of Life..._ (1992)
I know they're not likely to ever come up in a Rocked video, but this is one subject where I feel like they'd really fit. It's really incredible to me, looking back on their superb body of work, to know that their origins were _literally_ as a joke band that Steven Wilson devised for laughs. They're a band whose work can be pretty neatly broken into different periods: their neo-psychedelia / space rock period, their alt-rock period, their progressive metal period (and now, _Closure/Continuation,_ which I actually think has a lot more in common sonically with the solo work Wilson did during the band's 13-year hiatus than the last PT album before it).
• Anathema - _Serenades_ (1993)
Maybe not as well known as the bands mentioned in the video, but they absolutely qualify. Seriously, I can't believe their first album is the same band responsible for their output in the 2010s. They started as a growling gothic doom metal band, and over the course of the next 20 years gradually became a prog rock act responsible for some of the most uplifting and genuinely prettiest songs you're ever likely to hear.
Seriously, more people need to know about Porcupine Tree. Their latest single, Herd Culling is fantastic, especially for this Halloween season. Too late for Luke to cover it on one of his streams, unfortunately, but I hope it gets checked out at some point regardless.
You could mention Paradise Lost too, their debut is really basic death doom compared to the music that came after.
Shinedown I saw them live years back so good
Carcass definitely changed a lot after Reek. If you listen to that album and then listened to Heartwork and Surgical Steel, Jeff’s vocals are practically the only thing that would help you recognize they’re the same band.
Not a fan of when they turned into a melodeath band in my opinion
@@jackko21 when they helped pioneer Melodeath. I am a fan of every era of Carcass. Never a bad album, even their Death n' Roll content.
I would argue Bill Steer has a very signature/recognizable guitar style & tone as well.
Heartwork is so good that it's a crime. They definitely went way up in quality with that one
@@PinkyJujubean it's too clean in my opinion that goes for alot of melodeath it's all sounds safe the only melodeath band I like is intestine baalism as they have melody but they don't sacrifice the heaviness it's still heavy as anything and brutal
Reek is genuinely one of the worst albums I've ever heard. At least every album after is good.
Chevelle is such a consistently great band, with only two post-debut albums that I wouldn't consider great, but still good. _Niratias_ may even be their best yet.
Chevelle is one of those bands that get close to Deftones at how consistently good their catalog has got over the time.
Vena Sera and Sci Fi Crimes battled it out as my fave until Niratias came out. It's fantastic.
My favorites are the north corridor or la gargola. Most likely la gargola
I watched the video and I like all the bands discussed and appreciate artistic growth. Your idea for bands that have not changed might be interesting because I would be positively impressed to hear what you have to say on the subject - I'm not really aware of anyone whose music I could say that about, maybe it's the music that I.listen to
Sum 41 is another good example. All Killer No Filler was a solid album, but Does This Look Infected and Chuck are even bigger steps up. Heck their more recent stuff’s really good too.
Didn't they release Half Hour Of Power first before All Killer No Filler?
@@laurisaarinen1126 Yes, but that is usually counted as an EP rather than an actual studio album
@@BlinkPS2 Okay i didn't remember that
@@laurisaarinen1126 it’s all good. Half Hour of Power is good either way
I wouldn't say they so much changed their sound as they did get better at songwriting, but Red Hot Chili Peppers. The self-titled, Freaky Styley and Uplift Mofo Party Plan are solid enough, but I see Mother's Milk as being their first truly great album that gave way for them to release a much stronger album with Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
While I fully agree, you're gonna get some backlash for this take, I'm sure. A lot of "fans" who say everything after Mothers Milk was trash (yes, even BSSM)
@@Capnsensible80 There are also people who say everything before Mother's Milk was garbage and that John F is what really made the band great. While he is awesome, Flea is a core part of the sound and Hillel is underrated. Freaky Styley and especially Uplift have lot of very cool stuff. I am more in the old school camp and don't care for 2000's Peppers as much, but definetly don't hate them and they always sound at least decent. The new album actually seemed really cool.
I kind of think of rhcp as being two separate bands. Their later music is almost unrelated to their early music.
Tool's debut is fantastic. Such an underrated album
Which one, undertow or opiate? Either way it's great
underrated? overrated is more the word.
@@nickdotjpg huh? how? they fuckin rock. I'd say only their most hard-core 'overhypes' them. But they're underrated
Shinedown is one of the best rock bands out there right now. I don’t know how their cover of Simple Man didn’t make your best covers list.
Deftones Adrenaline is one of my favorite albums of all time. Engine number nine was their closing song at concerts for years and that song live hits hard.
good video. No Doubt is another one that I'd add to that list.
She's not rock but an artist that evolved over the years is Sade. Going from Pop/Smooth Jazz to Adult Contemporary and Quiet Storm. I didn't know who she was until I was 18 and caught the music video for "Soldier of Love" on TV. She's now one of my favorite artists.
This… is… no…. Oooooorrdinary looooveee… no ooooordinary loooove… (Song that Deftones covered and absolutely nailed !!)
@@reznorettee With great crossover appeal.
Personally I just can't overcome the fact that her artist name means "rain" in my languege.
On the other hand it sounds quite poetic 🤔
silverchair changed immensely over their career, but that might have a lot to do with the fact that they were 15 when Frogstomp was released, so their music matured with them. Nine Inch Nails have also travelled in all kinds of directions since Pretty Hate Machine.
Avenged Sevenfold is my best example. 'Sounding the Seventh Trumpet' is.... rough, and saying that is very generous. Then came 'Waking the Fallen' which was a big step up, and with 'City of Evil' that was where they really found their stride. I definitely prefer the hard rock style they've established now, to the more metalcore sounds of their yester-years.
Deftones growth is clear as day. Chino has evolved even beyond that with Team Sleep and Crosses...not to mention Palms. I enjoy what they do. The only record I was kinda 🤷🏿♂about was Gore. Everything else has been 🤘🏿😝
Team Sleep and Crosses are so freaking good
@@reznorettee hell yeah, I even liked the Palms album. All of them are so different, but so good.
@@CidicVicious Inside Gore, there is a great album, but the mixing was disappointing.
As a massive Chevelle fan, I appreciate the gradual progression that kept a signature style, but sounds and structure would continue to vary. A music equivalent of a house renovation
Same!!! Totally agree
Been listening to deftones since day one... I reckon diamond eyes and koi no yokan are their best works.
based
Of the 6000+ languages on Earth you decided to speak the truth.
Ohms and Self titled are both fantastic as well
I love those too but Around The Fur and White Pony are better to me, even Saturday Night Wrist.
What I love about Deftones is each of their albums are a different ''mood''. As far as fully-realized albums [to me] are Around the Fur, Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokan, & OHMS. But I just love Deftones so anything from them is solid.
Radiohead came to mind when I looked at the title of the video.
That was the band I thought of first when looking at how much they've changed since Pablo Honey.
My sense of humor is absolutely broken, I laughed at the fact that Incubus' debut is called _Fungus Amongus_
I'd add Pantera in because they are a case of a double change if you consider cowboys from hell their first album then the jump to vulgar display of power is huge or even just the jump from the glam albums to cowboys.
I love and appreciate all Deftones albums and I am glad they have grown with their sound but Adrenaline will always be my favorite
The bands that haven't changed their sound vid could be good and not changing isn't always a bad thing... sometimes it just works
Rage against the machine could be a good example of that. They never really changed their sound and they still sounded great
I know he doesn’t do rankings but ACDC would easily be the top pick there, i don’t hate them but damn their music can sound like the same 5/6 songs with different lyrics sometimes
Paramore started out decently enough with All We Know Is Falling.
Then came Riot…
Then Brand New Eyes…
The Untitled album…
After Laughter… and now the upcoming This Is Why.
Despite the lineup changes, they’ve stayed consistently solid music-wise and evolved amazingly from their early pop punk days.
After laughter was god awful compared to previous releases. They absolutely lost me.
Between the Buried and Me started off as a pretty by the numbers metalcore band and morphed into what they are now starting with Colors, with Alaska being kind of an in between album
Trivium has a pretty solid evolution from Ascendancy to albums like Shogun and in waves love the vocal progression of Matt Heafy from harsh screams to polished clean vocals as well as more polished guitar bass and percussion.
Kraftwerk is a good example. Their electronic revolution didn't come with the 1st album, but with Autobahn, their 4th album. And every following LP is a step ahead in the electronic music history.
The Moody Blues (ie one of the most underrated bands of all time) went from boring Merseybeat on their first album “The Magnificent Moodies” in 1965, to the Prog Rock pioneers they became with their second album “Days of Future Passed” in 1967.
I would also include Thrice which is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated bands ever, they started playing as a standard emo band, but then they evolved and started making really solid and interesting music, they really have evolved as musicians, it's like a totally different band, their last records are incredible, it's always a band that I like to recommend
I was going to mention Thrice. They've changed so much from their beginnings.
Illusion of Safety & Artist and the Ambulance built on the sound of Identity Crisis, they didn't really change their sound much until Vheissu.
Their jump from The Illusion of Safety to Vhiessu is quite the change in sound. Illusion has kinda shown its age while Vhiessu is a timeless classic
Would love to see a part 2 for this video. I can think of at least 5 other bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers who are still improving.
The jump from Rocka Rolla to Sad Wings of Destiny is incredible. Like you said, RR isn't a bad album. But it's so straightforward compared to kicking off the next one with 8 minutes of Victim of Changes
Kamelot started out as an Iron Maiden imitation band, but when Roy figured out that he didn't have to emulate the vocal style of IM they started to really put out amazing music
I LOVE THAT AFI WAS ON HERE! Totally would've added MCR but other than that im glad Green Day wasn't on here because i went in expecting them to. Not that i don't think they fit the criteria but they're just always on these types of lists lol
Gonna have to mention Powerman 5000, since they didn't start as industrial, but instead were closer to hip-hop/funk metal. :D
I'd say that's more of a sell-out than an evolution.
Deathspell Omega started out as a conventional lo-fi black metal act but following their second album they transitioned into an avant-garde act with dense lyrics and themes. They still continue with their musical and lyrical ambitions.
Ulver started as a folky black metal act that following their debut Bergtatt made a folk album, then a lo-fi black metal record before quickly abandoning black metal with their fourth album and subsequently ditching metal altogether in favour of a more experimental electronic/ambient sound.
Dir En Grey started out as a Visual Kei style band with their early albums but shifted into a more avant-garde metal band that has experimented with various genres like Nu-Metal, Alt Metal, Prog and Death metal.
Summoning started out as a more traditional Second Wave style black metal band but from their second album they transitioned into a more unique and influential Epic sound that was synth heavy and eventually started to incorporate clean choir like vocals.
Jethro Tull - their earliest work was very bluesy, and it took them a few albums to turn into the utterly unique band they became.
Rush would be a pretty good example of a band evolving. They never made the same album twice. And they made a lot of albums.
Disturbed has slightly evolved themselves over the years from going nu-metal to being an inbetween of nu-metal and hard rock with just an album difference from The Sickness to Believe. Then when they've gotten to Ten Thousand Fists and Indestructible, their sound has matured and has continued throughout the releases after those two. They've solidified themselves as one of the recognized names in hard rock/metal.
Iron Maiden was a band that transitioned night and day, many people believed that Iron Maiden started with Bruce Dickinson, but there was in fact an Iron Maiden album before Number of the Beast and with a totally different vocalist. It was just that Number of the Beast was the rocket that sent the band into many heights afterwards and Bruce leading the way.
Slipknot is another band similar in vein to Iron Maiden, began as a different vocally fronted band, became entirely different when Corey Taylor entered the picture.
Luke I'd add The Gathering and Paradise Lost. Both started in similar places but over the past near 30 years they're completely different. Two of my favorite bands for sure.
How could you leave opiate out of the tool line up??
Love early Shinedown but their new stuff is top tier!
Love this channel. Can anyone recommend any new hard rock that isn't "butt rock"? Everything sounds the same to me and I grew up loving hard rock and heavy metal.
As a TOOL fan, I love seeing the growth/change from Opiate to Fear Inoculum. I know Opiate is an EP
Justin took the band to a new level
@@billymuellerTikTok BIG facts
@@billymuellerTikTok Ironically never heard of his band and music career outside of Tool.
i would say also that Behemoth and two othe rbands who have also evolved Pearl Jam their style
Add Faith No More to this list? (just the Patton years) even just comparing singles like Epic to Ashes To Ashes
All of These Bands have one Thing in Common. They all were really really good in the beginning. And then they evolved...
Although Deftones Put Out one good Album after the other
Failure can be put onto this list, From Comfort to Wild Type Droid their sound changed through the years, maybe Comfort and Magnified can sound "similar" but during Fantastic Planet, the band found their sound and years past they've master their style and sound with the newest albums they put out since 2015.
Came here to say: Opeth. They changed their style, Mikael became a much better singer, they've added keyboards, changed their style again and keep experimenting with the 70s hard rock and prog "worship" while still feeling fresh. But then again I'm a huge fan of theirs (as you can probably tell) and I've loved everything they've done. Would also like to add Porcupine Tree, Leprous, Katatonia and Pain of Salvation.
I'm gonna risk having a bunch of old punk dudes tell me I'm what's wrong with music by saying I think AFI's early skatepunk era is their WEAKEST era. Like it's not awful, there were just a bazillion other bands that sounded just like that. After Jade Puget joined, we got 'Black Sails in the Sunset', which I personally consider the debut album of the 'real' AFI.
Also their current 80s postpunk period is something I'm actually really loving, its a shame that mainstream audiences stopped paying attention after the 'CrashLove' album. 'Bodies' is hit and miss but 'Burials' and 'Blood' are such fantastic dark and moody alt-rock records.
I love burials and the blood album, personally though I think that the missing man ep was the greatest thing they ever released
@@moss3779 Yeah, Missing Man was so good, honestly might be some of their best recent material to date.
Horror-punk AFI is my favorite AFI (late 90s - early/mid 00s)
@@katmd03 same. I like to refer to it as Zero Skateboards in music form lol
The used is a good example, their first 2 albums were traditional screamo but they’ve definitely gotten progressively more experimental since then
Love the variety across all of their albums. The deluxe edition if heartwork is fantastic
Victorius is a band that started with standard power metal and leaned hard into the cheesey power metal with their new albums about Dinosaurs fighting Ninjas. And I LOVE it!
I'd say some bands with impressive evolutions include:
Iron Maiden, Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Amorphis, Avatar, Mastodon, Opeth, Enslaved, and Avenged Sevenfold.
I would throw Darkthrone in there too. Love Enslaved. Borknagar seemed to go through an evolution too,I think.
A lot of these bands I don't disagree with wanting to spotlight them, but one that I do feel was overlooked in this... Is Messugah. From just another metal band, to completely revolutionizing metal and all but single-handedly starting an entirely new subgenre (something so few can say they did alone) in djent. Like the subgenre and the potential oversaturation of it, but you have to give them the fact they changed from another in the crowd, to godfathers of a genre, and still one of the best in it. Not just started it and others refined it.
Rocka Rolla was an excellent album. Problem was, this was 1974 - Bob Marley, Steely Dan, Van Morrison, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ELO, Bowie, TWO Queen albums...Merely excellent drowned in the flood.
Faith No More I think deserves an honourable mention.
Although they aren't touring right now because of Patton's mental health issues, they dramatically overhauled their style after their debut album, and "Ashes to Ashes" is still one of my favourite go-to songs...
I kind of feel Dethklok is worth mentioning. Like Dethalbum I is still overall good in my opinion (especially Go Forth & Die and Briefcase Full of Guys) ,but it’s certainly rougher due to how Brendon Small was the only member at that point since even Gene Hoglan was on the record his influence had yet to reach the music. But yeah Dethalbums II and III are a major improvement and you can buy the idea that they’re supposed to be “the greatest band of all time” more than the first one. Although I am definetly curious as to what Dethalbum IV has in store considering how they’re set to release the first new music in over ten years.
Whitechapel is another good example. Their songwriting has improved so much. They haven't necessarily imroved with each album--Self-titled through Mark of the Blade pale in comparison to A New Era... and are not markedly better or worse than the first 2 albums, but The Valley and Kin are phenomenal. And those 3 lesser albums were necessary to evolve into these last 2 albums
Another band in the deathcore genre that evolved a lot was Whitechapel from The Somatic Defilement (2007) to the latest album Kin (2021). It's almost an obvious shift to an alternative rock style with Phil's deathcore vocals backing the heavy parts, but mostly layered with his clean singing.
Paramore also comes to mind. All we know is falling is decent, but every album that followed is a masterpiece start to finish.
I saw Muse supporting Feeder in 1999 and never would have thought they’d go on to be an interesting band. Before they came on the venue was playing Radiohead’s “OK Computer” over the soundsystem. After they’d played their first few songs I overheard a few people saying “They should have just left the Radiohead album on instead of bringing out this third-rate Radiohead wannabe lot”. That comment is probably the only reason I even remember anything about them playing that night. Feeder were so great I barely thought about anything else for ages.
Thrice. Big time. They have mastered many genres of music and continue to do so.
Thank you! Identity Crisis to Horizons East is the best way to show how they have matured as a band.
For me the stand out is Disturbed, listen to The Sickness and then Evolution and you are not listening to the same band.
Type O Negative is another example of a band that changed with every output. They started as a crossover/thrash metal band with a tinge of goth, transitioned to something completely different 2 years later when they released Bloody Kisses, and again with October Rust, etc.
I want to see your video about bands that never changed 🤘.
Sure, I'd watch a video about bands who never changed/matured/whatever.
Sing the sorrow AFI. Was playing all day everyday for several months, riding on the MTA NYC Subway. For a seasonal job.
Undertow will always be my favorite Tool album. I love the other albums but I like the rawness and I like their shorter songs. However, I do agree that they improved after Undertow.
Are you ever gonna do more regretting the past?
Avenged Sevenfold also
Lacuna Coil is another band that has gotten a lot better since their debut album
A band that is highly underrated, Kiss, their sound changed slightly on their first couple of albums, made a big change on Destroyer, but then took a complete style on Dynasty and, then again on Creatures of the Night.
Underrated no but yes I agree they definetly changed They're sound and went on to be the greatest rock and roll band to ever exist
Considering how many styles this band has and my inability to shut up about them, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard comes to mind, despite still liking the debut. Genesis also came to mind even though I've warmed up to the debut a little bit, though despite being fine with the Collins era stuff I do start to miss Steve Hackett's guitar, and there are some songs that I admittedly would be fine with not hearing again (Throwing it All Away for example).
What about Avenged Sevenfold?
The first album was very heavy, mostly screaming. The second was half screaming, half clean. The third was very commercially successful with mostly clean vocals.
They’ve continued to evolve, maybe not to as massive an extent as others mentioned in the vid, but listen to Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, and then listen to The Stage.
The difference is clear!
I agree that Deftones sound has changed evolved and expanded but adrenaline around the Fur are still my favorite albums
I'm surprised silverchair isn't on the list they changed alot personally I prefer frogstomp over the later stuff but they are a band that changed so much
I always like to think of how Pink Floyd will fit one of these lists, and they do here. Not only for changing their sound, but also in the fact that they're technically back in the game this year, with a new single released ("Hey Hey Rise Up").
They started with psychedelic rock on Piper at the Gates of Dawn, beginning to steer away from that after kicking Syd out, until their most commercially successful period where they had become prog rock. However, their change after Roger left into a much more pop-influenced style can't be ignored. Yes, every style they settled on was still influenced by what came before and it was absolutely a natural-feeling progression, but put Piper, Dark Side, and Division Bell next to each other and you could swear these are all different bands (I mean, it helps that each has a different creative lead--Syd, Roger, David, respectively; would have been fun to see a Rick-led album, but not really a Nick one, because he didn't want to be a front man, it seems, which is fair for a drummer to feel that way).
Opeth is definitely the one that comes to mind for me
Maroon 5 has WILDLY changed their sound since Songs About Jane in 2002…
You didn’t say we couldn’t mention negative evolutions or de-evolutions. 😏😂
An easy one is Genesis. Their first album "From Genesis to Revelation" was an earnest but amateurish attempt at 60s art pop by a group of teenagers who didn't really have much say over their direction. "Trespass" was a huge step up.
I would say that I prevail changed They're sound changed to add hip hop a little bit more than the 2014 days of them
I'm disappointed that Brand New, Faith No More, Porcupine Tree and Blur weren't on the list
The Goo Goo Dolls deserve a mention. Their first album was essentially hardcore punk, but their later material delved more into alt-rock territory.
I submit a band very appropriate for the month of October. Type O Negative. Such a dynamic turn from "Slow Deep and Hard" to "Bloody Kisses". In fact all of their albums have their own unique sound, but still feeling like Type O
Can't think of a wilder band evolution than with Xysma. Within less than a decade they went from being goregrind pioneers to death metal to death 'n' roll to stoner/garage rock to retro(ish) rock, and finally to pop territories. And all the while putting out quality material without a hint of selling out.
Swans:
-Debut was industrial rock
-“Cop” was basically sludge metal
-Next 3 albums were gothic rock
-Following 3 were more Americana
-“Great Annihilator” was alternative
-“Soundtracks for the Blind” was a masterpiece, no genre
-“My Father…” was a neofolk-rock type thing
-The following 3 were super experimental
-Most recent was almost gothic country
