[edit] "Markedly different" sounds?

This doesn't make sense. How can New Traditionalists be "markedly different" from Freedom of Choice, when that's classed as being different from its respective previous album for the exact same reason?

"Freedom of Choice is an album by New Wave musicians Devo, released in 1980 (see 1980 in music). It was highly unlike Devo's previous albums, full of synthesizers and outright synth pop elements. The album is considered to be quintessentially Eighties."

New Traditionalists is a 1981 album by the New Wave rock band Devo. It features the minor hits "Through Being Cool", and "Beautiful World". The sound was markedly different from the previous album Freedom of Choice, with synthesizers moved to the forefront, and guitars more subdued . The lyrics are extremely dark and vitriolic, as well.
