Ha, I figured this discussion had been going on for several year in deed, but I just never got to join before now.

<br>Yes, you're completely right, that a change is not necesarily for the better,but my point was that too many metallisteners are too conservative and cannot appreciate a deviant change. Surely my favorite is "Velvet Darkness...", but Musique in deed was EXCELLENT as well! I like both albums in their different ways! Velvet had the best mood, Musique has the best melodies. I just hate it when people write "Please go back to your roots". If you read the profiles, you will discover that really none of the members enjoy metal as much as before, and thus, wouldn't it be a sell-out, if the band took up playing metal again just for the fans' sake? Wouldn't it be completely commercial if the band didn't play the music they appreciated, but the music the fans appreciated instead?
