all bands go shit at some point, but they often carry on making music anyway.
I want to know about songs that are good that were released after the point at which the band had gone shit.
I’d give you an example but I can’t think of any
R.E.M. have a few on later albums. Dylan’s ‘Knocked out Loaded’ is a shocker, but still has the immense ‘Brownsville Girl’ on there.
Unspoken by Weezer
Yes REM! Well it depends when you think REM went bad, but I’ve Been High off Reveal is a lovely little song
Everything in its right place by radiohead is alright
aye dylan was who I immediately thought of as well, there’s usually a gem or two hidden on his shit albums.
the other one I thought of was only by anthrax. absolute banger
Surely referring to Reveal and Around The Sun here:
Marr: Are you haunted by the albums you haven’t made over the last five years and the songs you haven’t written?
Stipe: I’m haunted by the albums that we did make.
Really like this song from after smashing pumpkins reformed. Actually the whole set they did was pretty good, seems to have been a folk-rocky direction they flirted with taking but abandoned for more shit overproduced studio albums and corgan’s ridiculous obsession with synths he can’t play
