I can see what he means though. If you really like a guitarist you want to be able to listen to an album where it is fairly similar. This way you can sit down and listen to it all the way through and not have to skip songs that are so different and are not for you. This was what i ment when i said about michael angelo being the same. If you have every song of yours sound very different then you will get lots of people liking maybe only 1 or 2 songs that you have written meaning you have a very small number of people that like enough of your songs to buy an ambum of yours or come to see you live.

What you described is exactly "nu-metal". No change in song structure, same "my dad hated me" lyrics, same 4/4 drum beat, it's ridiculous. I would much rather pick up a CD of Vai or Satch and listen to the different changes in songs and try to figure out, "Man, what was he thinking when he wrote that, that's awesome." Instead of going, "Man, I've heard this downtuned guitar riff 75,000 times already."

Change in song style and structure is awesome. Reread hairbndrckrs post again.
