WTF is wrong with Apoptygma Berzerk?!
I haven't posted on this thing in a while, but I'm back to bitch. I've been going through ALL of my music this weekend, and it's a huge pain in the ass, not to mention sort of enlightening [apparently I do have Psyclon Nine, and there are remixes of The Faint's "Desperate Guys", and what am I doing with Franz Ferdiand demos, exactly?].
On to the topic at hand, though. I know this is old news; we've all known Apop started a fast downward decline at least five years ago, but has anyone questioned why? What is happening here?
Unfortunately I have no answers, but..
Exhibit A: "Mourn"
I still play this.Why? Because the new stuff sucks. Why can't they write something this good anymore? Lost their muse? I mean, I don't expect them to keep writing "Kathy's Song" over and over, but...
Exhibit B: "Love To Blame"
Exhibit B: "Love To Blame"
?????????
This sucks. Now Stefan sounds like the guy from They Might Be Giants, which is perfectly fine for that band, but not for Apop. :( Did they lose a critical member? I don't keep up with these things, I don't know.
Someone please explain this to me. I haven't seen a band go bad so fast since, well, actually, The Killers went downhill much faster, and more recently, come to think of it.

i liked their older style, but you and me against the world is a great evolution of their sound.
they didn't lose anyone as far as i know.. it's still mainly stephen groth.. but he has a new guy doing the guitar work.
I think I'm going to come back on Tuesday, I don't care how cold it is.
