That can happen with a long time favorite too, and I think in that case the disappointment might be worse. Happened to me with the last Porcupine Tree album. I've been following this band for about 12 years, loved everything they've done except for Fear of a Blank Planet. The songs are good, the playing is good, but I found it...predictable - what I would have expected, and one of the things I'd always liked best about them is that each album was fresh and exciting (imo) - offered something new. To me, FOABP didn't. I'll still checkout any new music they make, but now I feel a little hesitant about pre-ordering - don't think I'll do that anymore - I'll listen before buying.
