It's because every song they have sounds the fucking same. It was fine for the first album, but c'mon. I can't tell the difference between the new single I heard from every other song they've ever done.
And I don't understand why people hate on indie or underground music. You can hate the "pseudo intellectual poser/faggots" all you want. Hell, I just hate people in general. But there is some really great music out there that doesn't get force fed to you by the radio.
Of course there's good music from both sides, but I'm sorry, the majority of good music doesn't come from the mainstream side of the spectrum.
But that's all just opinion, so everything I just said doesn't mean shit.

bah it so subjective really
Aenima sounds miles apart from Lateralus as far as i'm concerned, but then i'm a big fan. Hell i'd even argue for difference between all the albums, but meh - that gets into the level of fan nerddom that I don't like to enter. No need for me to turn into a pretentious faggot.
The fuck the mainstream attitude however is completely absurd, at least when people hate on the mainstream simply so they can "be different" I hate those types. I agree that A LOT of good shit is never going to hit the airwaves, but sometimes the public wakes up and realizes it when there is a good band out there.
I don't know where you drew hatred of indie/underground music from, I don't know many types like that. I just hate people who pretend to be something they aren't. For example: We have a cool little tea shop in town that is unfortunately filled with losers who engage in "philosophical" discussions and generally talk about how smart they are when in reality they don't know shit about the formal study of philosophy, science, history or whatever the fuck they're experts on at that time. Because the reality is these fucks are l o s e r s who dropped out of highschool, failed college, and are generally worthless and will contribute nothing to society. But then again maybe they're just misunderstood
But yeah, I HATE PEOPLE, not indie music man. Glad we can agree on that point.
