>more of the same, didn't do nearly as well

>White Zombie sure is great but being a kid sucks, let's tell all the parents about the weird creepy shit their kids go through.

>STOP WORSHIPPING ME YOU BRAINLESS FAGGOT KIDS! FUCK I HATE BEING A ROCK STAR, I'LL SHOW THEM HOW FUCKED UP IT REALLY IS.

>Come on dudes that last album wasn't supposed to be fun! I know I'll make an apathetic and soft album that really conveys how boring and stupid it is to be a rock star.

>Being a rock star still sucks but it's made me realize a lot of stuff, here's a super intimate album with tons of subtext, this time please do try to understand what it's about.

>I got nothing left to say but my wife wants me to make more music and you fucks don't like it for the right reasons, so I'll just put out a super-dumb parody of my own music just to see how you react.

>ah whatever, you guys like goth shit right? I kinda like old goth rock so here's some that's bad enough for your pleb standards.

>Dudes you know what? I kinda liked being the center of attention after all. You remember my second album? I'll do my best to recreate that even though I forgot what it was about and what it sounded like.

>Ah fuck it, I'm getting old and nobody cares anymore, I'll just play guitar and sing about my fetishes.

>Hey that wasn't so bad. In fact now I feel kinda inspired again. Here's some gothic blues rock. It's samey but I had fun doing it, what do you guys think?

>Here's some nasty and merciless thrash metal from the post-apocalyptic future! Gasmasks are cool!

>Here's more of it, still featuring our cyborg vampire knight mascot from the post-apocalyptic future. Also it has a totally rad album title.

>Here's some more thrash metal from the future... OF SPACE! Since it's from space we put tons of progressive melodies in it. Fuck, we love Philippe Druillet!

>Here's more prog thrash from the future OF ANOTHER DIMENSION! we made it softer so you can focus on the story, it's like reading a comic book from Heavy Metal 2000!

>Here's some more prog but it's not really thrash anymore. We don't really have a story or a mascot anymore but check out all the things we can do with guitars!

>You know what? We don't need to do metal anymore, here's some straight-up prog rock.

>Okay maybe it wasn't such a good idea to completely get rid of the metal and story elements. Here's some prog metal from the future of the 50s

> Okay our lead dude fucked off, we got a new guy and he's into groove metal. Here's some industrial prog-thrash from the cyberpunk future!

>Alright the new guy figured it out! Our mascot is back from the past of the post-apocalyptic future of space, so here's a new kickass concept album that's both progressive AND badass and also has an amazing story AND art to go with it!

>Uh, here's some stuff we don't really care about.

>Ah fuck, half our guys died, here's an album in their memory.

>Fuck we're getting old, here's some heavy-prog I guess. Not really sure about this one, it's not even from the future.

>Okay we got yet another new guy and he's a fan of our early stuff. Here's some prog thrash that's not really gnarly but still kinda sounds like what we did 20 years ago. ALSO IT'S FROM THE FUTURE OF SPACE.
