Most music artists, when they find their sound and niche, tend to stick to it, growing their fanbase and only experimenting slightly within their genre. Sometimes, however, an artist will venture outside their typical sound, and test out an entirely different genre that is completely new to them and their fans. Whether they are successful is one thing, and whether they choose to take that success and run with it, transforming their sound to fit a brand-new genre is another—there is certainly a difference between an experimental album and a transitional album.
