[QUOTE="Heresy, post: 221385, member: 540683"] The self-titled album was the best and opened the door for all the shitty rap/metal acts. After that, Follow the Leader had a great mixture of rap and metal while maintaining the roots of the band resonably well. Life is Peachy is too muddled and unfocused to really be considered an album rather than a collection of singles with too much filler in between. Issues and all the successive albums are pre-packaged singles that are a shadow of their former selves. Instead of growing, the band is becoming more bland and commercial. I'm not saying this just because they "blew up" when Follow the Leader was released. The first album went platinum with no real airplay and they were popular well before Follow the Leader. It's a matter of being experimental to the extent where they are easily distinguishable yet don't get into a formula like AC/DC or what is becoming of Godsmack now. [/QUOTE]
