Seems like every time I start to get into a band that's been around a while, I find out that their fanbase thinks all the newer material sucks. 😜
Which means that either (a) their previous material is godlike, or (b) they've evolved into something different and I like where they went.
More often than not, it's (b). Upshot: most fanbases are full of shit.
(Actually the same tends to be true of bands I've liked for a long time that are still putting out quality material. Universally the hard-core fans hat it. Seems like it's the trajectory of every band to slough off diehard fans with each release who just can't deal with the new stuff.)
