when bad bands go good

So I've been listening to this new Brand New album The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me pretty much nonstop, wondering what the hell happened to this band. I remember their old stuff sucking, but this might be my favorite album of the year.

 

There's plenty of good bands that fell off, but are there any bands you used to think were shitty, but changed their style to something you like?

John Mayer, but it's weird how it happened. Before his big-label debut, he was a respectable artists. A&R guys chased him, and said if he toned the songs down, he'd get signed. His first two major label albums sucked. All cheap poppy soft rock shit. Then he released John Mayer Trio's "Try!" album, and it was my favorite live album of 2005. This year he released "Continuum" and the album is amazing. He's at the point where he can do what he wants to do, and is much better than his old schtick.

 

EDIT: Oh, and it doesn't hurt that he's one of the funniest celebrities I've ever met/seen.
