Bands whose albums sound the same

I would tend to agree.

Hi,

Si, senor ... I would even add Peter Hammill, though many of us think his voice is an issue, but as an actor singing, he is very good. Reminds me of a comment Meatloaf made in his book ... I just happen to be an actor that sings!

Music for me, is about the "person" and that person's feel about it, and this is the reason why things like TD, KS, AD2, Ange, Banco and a handful of other bands are so important to me ... it wasn't about rock'n'roll, or classical music, or some idealistic notion in their heads ... it was about just doing something together and create a new space. And this is even more important to TD and KS, and no one, has ever, really been able to copy them right, because they were copying something that was not there. One would have to have Edgar's literary knowledge (well known for reading a lot), or KS' desire to simply create a world of his own with his visionary thoughts about how each track could be used ... on top of that he MIXED his own in concert ... which adds another element of creativity.

KS, TD and so many others do NOT sound the same, and never will ... the visual from the piece is so different, not to mention that with KS, you can even get different visuals from the music on different days, which is weird for some in that it will confuse them, but not me ... it inspires me even more ... it's like saying a line that has 15 meanings ... and we then wonder which one ... or the better example, was in Peter Brook's book about Keith Michell doing King Lear and having that repetitive line. PB stated that they did nearly 300 performances and never once did Keith EVER sound the same on that one line. 

It tells you that the depth, and feeling, is different each and every night. And here we are, discussing "progressive" and folks are looking for things that "sound like" ... 

Modt of the usual suspects have been cited (kind of disagree about Sabbath.... but I don't know much after Dio left), but there is a major omission so far: Marillion . The Fish-era  was not nearly as samey over their four albums despite his extremely carateristic voice, but the Hogarth-era seemed to be very samey (of what I heard - +/- stopped after Strange Engine and its follow-up).

Not sure this is an adventurous way of doing things (playing it safe), but it provides a more consistant discography and don't risk losing fans. Staying constant (which I like in some ways) is one thing, but flogging to death the same old beaten grounds tends to .

Not everyone is like Floyd was: completely reinventing themselves at every major new release yet remaining true to themselves and instantly recognizable. Though if they'd followed AHM with Animals and WYWH with The Wall, it might've been a bit wkward.

I wonder how we'd feel about the Gabe-era Genesis had remained still and done another 10 albums sonically between Tresspass and W&W.

I suspect you've misunderstood what he actually means by "the sound".

no

You don't know much about prog-metal, do you?
