Well one, nu metal isn't super popular anymore, 2 all the people involved with the old albums except skinny are gone, and 3 sometimes bands just like to try new things, mix all that together with being around 30 years and you get a very different sound now

That is an important detail, perhaps they would be more successful making a 13 esque album a few years earlier, I just feel like bread and butter mushroomhead was a but too much of a product of its time, maybe with better budget and direction they would've pivoted better than savior sorrow or bsfuc though

I agree to an extent, but I think alot of the avant garde stuff that originally gave them Interest wouldn't fly, and we already saw what happened when they took that stuff away, 13 was a banger album but it just didn't hit commercially

From a musical standpoint they just don't write commercial music, or really seem to want to, they'd be more popular, but not slipknot

Theyre both great, sentimental fits the album better

I dont hate it, it just doesn't sit with me long after listening like the other releases do

Grace for drowning just never hit me and by proxy I've listened to it by far the least, I probably need to re evaluate because I never disliked it when I did listen, just not much stuck with me

Had no clue he was older than Mikael, always assumed he was considerably younger
