I'm not saying that you HAVE to evolve. Once again, you twist my words into things they don't mean. What I'm saying is when you purposely aim for a certain style instead of just creating music the result will not be good. You see it all the time if you know what to look for. For instance, Dredg. Their first two albums were brilliant. The first was much heavier than the second but the second was much more atmospheric. Before they even started writing the third album they announced that they were going to make it a combination of the two styles. They hadn't even written a single riff yet and they had decided what it was going to sound like. The result is one of the worst albums I have ever heard in my life. And it's all because they tried to be SOMETHING instead of just BEING. They didn't stay honest to themselves.
