This is probably sinful and weird but I usually check out the latest release to see if they still got it (for older bands). If the latest release sucks, I have a really hard time listening to the older stuff no matter how good it is.

Haven’t you just discounted virtually every band?!

To this day, the poor guys never listened to David Bowie, Queen, Guns N Roses etc.

I couldn’t get into Bowie in general. I like a few Queen and GnR songs. I’m talking more about records than anything else. I’m not oblivious to older artists by any stretch. There are just a lot of older artists’ discographies that I haven’t really checked out.

What a terrible way to discover music . Every band peaks, then its downhill from there.

I’m talking when they really, really fall off - like Metallica for example.

Nah I still really like the new stuff - not as much as Facelift to Tripod obviously. It’s more when a band like REALLY falls off for me. I know artists have their bests and they probably won’t ever top it. All I ask is that the record isn’t bad enough to kind of sour their image for me. A lot of metalcore bands I used to listen to did that.
