I don't think there is another band I have followed closely enough to be severely disappointed with their newer input. I'll check out a band, listen to some albums, and go "oh, I like this one; that one, not so much." There have been bands that I've followed who have released disappointing albums (Cursive's I am Gemini comes to mind), but a single bad album just kinda makes me go "lame" and toss it aside after I've listened to it once.
As for personalities, I know very little about the personal lives of musicians, their views, or their personalities. I don't follow the lore surrounding the bands. I only really know their music. I probably listen to so many people who are terrible. Only one that comes to mind is Morrisey. I never even sought out information on his views or attitudes, he's just loud enough that you'll hear about them anyway.
