Bands your disappointed with but still love
 

The title says it all.

For me, it would be Deadsy. I love how unique they are, but it drives me mad that they are claiming to be gothic or even spookycore.

Oh Deadsy, it was so much more charming when you had no musical label for youselves and you seemed so much more like Horror Synth Rock... :(

Oh well, I still love them, despite their misguidance.

AFI. I've been majorly disappointed in them and yet still can't help but love them. Guiltily at times.

Hail Jesus! He is the man!

I can never get mad at Robert Smith, but he has to answer me WHY damn it WHY did he want to make a CD with Ashlee Simpson?

Wow! Really? I missed that. Where the hell was I? So he WANTED to make a CD with her, but did it ever happen? If so, I'd have to listen to it. I couldn't help myself. The curiosity would definately kill me. You know what they say about bad train wrecks....

The Cure, AFI, KoRn, Cradle of Filth (it's a love/hate thing)...

Switchblade Symphony and Atheist.
I love them, but they're no longer recording, this makes me sad. Atheist still tours, but only in the US, this too, makes me sad.

Evanescence.
Their EPs that were released around 1998 were some pretty awesome pieces of music. (ironically, no one seems to know about their EPs or the CD I'm about to mention..) Then Origin was released, which was a pretty damn cool CD -you'd be listening to the songs and completely out of tune from the real world.
Then Fallen, their first major album. A lot of the songs sounded alike, "Bring Me To Life" was the most fudging overplayed song on the radio for a while, and then everyone forgot about them for a couple years. Yeah, ok, that CD was okay but couldn't hold a candle to the Whisper EP and Evanescence EP
The Open Door. Shitty songs about Amy Lee's breakup with Shawn Morgan of Seether.. Amy's voice got a hell of a lot better, but she decided not to put it to good use.
I hate it when bands completely let the fame get to their heads and write songs purely for the money. Grr >=(

Oh how I can relate.

Have to agree with you. Their eps are way better.

I'm actually fine with Atheist not recording.

I mean, they released three fucking incredible albums, and I'd hate for them to make albums that didn't live up to the standards of Peice Of Time, Unquetionable Presence, and Elements.

As far as bands I'm dissappointed in but still like its:

Pearl Jam (not so much, but they still have it in them to record another Yield, but they aren't)
Tool
Guided By Voices
Kataklysm

Dropkick Murphys. Great live, but their recordings are just "eh". I expected them to be more like the Real MacKenzies, I guess.

But I want more Atheist.

I have to agree with you on Pearl Jam, one of my favourite bands but their newer materials isn't very good. THough, it's still better than anything Nirvana made.

Switchblade Symphony

The arcade fire, the flaming lips, the rapture and mercury rev all took new directions.

Hey Lost Horizon. Still waiting for that 3rd CD. And after you lost your singer (Danial Heiman), you went off and did that new project with the growly, puky vocals.

Still waiting for that 3rd CD... And get someone who sounds like Daniel Heiman, not the cookie monster.

If Jack Irons replaced Matt Cameron, I'm sure great things would happen.

i agree :[ lets hope the next on is better ^^

I agree, I am also disappointed with AFI.

I am somewhat dissapointed with Depeche Mode's latest release, Playing the Angel. They were brilliant on the other albums that I own, Violator, Ultra, and Music for the Masses (these are not necessarily in biological order). However, if Playing the Angel is Depeche Mode's "growing up" album, then perhaps I have some growing up to do.

Nightwish
They disappointed me with the new vocalist chick but i still like them
Ahh! How much I miss their old work
Tarja was so great

Bauhaus.
I love their old stuff but Go Away White was a real let down. I mean 25 years (?) and that was all they could come up with?

The new new misfits. The old ones were way better...

Ditto.

And I don't care what any pretentious punk fan says, Michale Graves' Misfits were still good. Now, if they didn't call themselves The Misfits and went with another name I think it'd be better, but still.

I'm also disappointed in Cinema Strange and Frank the Baptist. They seriously need to get the hell out of Europe and play some damn shows in the US and perhaps make more albums.
