Damn right I expect great stuff from bands I listen to.Theres no guilt in having high expectations of your favorite bands.If they are the musicians you think(and they say/or present)they are,then why not deliver?
Why fix something thats not broken and mess up a great sound.Breaking formulas is essential and fresh riffs/approaches is a must for a long running,respected band/peformer.
Sounds should evolve,but not change for any sake but the music.I'm talking as if fact,I know.
