Query: why do bands do this?

Why do bands change their style, trying to gain popular recognition, when history has proven that IT DOESN'T WORK??? Why throw away all the talent they had to make this techno-dung? Anyone who thinks this is more creative and intelligent than their old albums should be shot for ignorance. VDTF and Aegis are still selling better than this. And Raymond can't sing. This is borderline hip-hop and hip-hop is stupid. Well fortunately Liv Kristine left them and is in a band where they'll let her explore the vast reaches of her vocal talents and not robo-talk like that... Rohonyi did with this load of pig ... BTW to the ... reviewer who said that this is a 'serious step forward,' using more synth & programming is a BAD thing. Only people who can't play their instruments overdo synthesizers and hip-hop ... beats.
