When it's a radical departure from the artist's sound, if it's a musician you know really well. Or if a new release comes out of the blue.

Over the past few months I've seen it happen with Jewel, Poe and Til Tuesday. All artists with not-very-recent bodies of work (except for Jewel) and all sounding nothing like themselves.
