Evolution in music?

I was just half way watching Slipknot's new single Psychosocial on Youtube, and I just had the urge to rant about music evolution. To be more specific, a band's musical orientation evolution over time.

First of all,

WHAT HAPPENED TO PURE ANGER COREY?

If you compare to the old days of the year 2000, Slipknot had the anger, the madness in their songs. Such angst, such hatred,such energy especially in the vocals. Now, I suppose being rich and successful, you just had to evolve into something more..marketable? I don't know if they realise this but being the old them is when the band really had the edge in my opinion. Why the lame rapping(keyword:lame)? Ok, maybe some cool riffs here and there but,but.....nevermind. I just totally disagree where Slipknot is heading. This is getting mainstream, nu-metal rapping with just some(not all) mediocre riffs, and of course not to forget the half hearted screaming. No, to me this is not screaming. This is not Corey Taylor's screaming.

I just wanna express I miss the old Slipknot. I miss the crazy 9 men on stage doing all sort of stuffs, bringing out the great recipe of a live performance. I know the will deliver a hell of a show where ever and whenever they perform, just saddened by the quality in the new music they produced.

Here's the video btw...* sigh *
