alt Hacker NewsWould you say the same about more obviously artistic mediums? "Oh, their second album sounds exactly like their first which I liked!" isn't a compliment, usually.

I mean, yes?
My favorite band started experimenting with different sounds and genres and while I still like their old stuff I don't care for their new stuff much
I would love if they made more that sounded like their old stuff.
Obviously it's their art and I don't begrudge them doing their own thing, but it was a bummer when I listened to it and felt it was no longer for me.
Yeah, of course I would. If I like a given artist's work, I want more work which is like that. I don't begrudge artists who want to do new things, but "it's just like his old work" is IMO high praise, not a valid criticism.
