Arch Enemy's addition of Angela Gossow on vocals for their 2000 album Wages of Sin was revolutionary at the time. No other death metal band had a female singer, and Gossow certainly proved that she could scream and growl with the best. Problem is, although she contributed, Arch Enemy is the baby of guitarist Michael Amott, and when he finds something that works he is more than happy to keep going back to the well.

Kansas, after working hard for years, finally had a top-five hit with "Dust in the Wind" from their 1977 album Point of Know Return. Thinking it was time to move away from the progressive sound they had nurtured over the course of their career, they went about producing Monolith themselves, pursuing a more commercial sound.

The Cars was a successful debut album, containing A list of songs that played like a new wave best-of. Candy-O, the follow-up, sold even more, despite not all the songs being up to the same level as the debut. They still managed to turn out a solid second record, something few new wave and punk bands were able to do.
