But I agree. I bought the album actually off of iTunes, hadn't heard anything off of it, bought it release day however and listened to it all through one night at work, favored pretty much the entire album, no weak points, just songs that varied on quality but were fairly consistent in regard to being good. Fan of Lamb of God at all? Their new album is one I'd call pretty great. |

Early Katatonia is also pretty similar, and better to boot. And both of these bands lost pretty much all of their death metal influences with later albums, if that means anything to you.

And when I said In Waves was their best since Shogun, is that it was another album that was fairly consistent and more or less on par with Shogun. No dude, skip Vengeance Falls. You won't find much on there that will hold your attention. Katatonia? I started listening to them just a little before they released The Great Cold Distance (stellar album.) I for one think Katatonia got better as they go on. They may not be Death Metal anymore, but they're still great. I haven't heard much from My Dying Bride. I'll check them out. |

I get what you mean with Katatonia. But it wasn't a matter of shifting their sound in order to sell more records that brought on that dramatic, drastic change either. Jonas had something happen with his vocal chords and was told that he absolutely cannot do the screaming/growls anymore if he wants to keep his career, or something like that. So the band adapted a sound that suited Jonas clean vocals, which is a melodic doom type sound, similar to Opeth in some ways. I like that sort of stuff though so The Great Cold Distances appeals to me, as do the two or three albums before it. |

If you haven't listened to Green Jellÿ (pronounced Green Jello) you need to. They're damn good. And their artwork is damn good too. And the songs, damn good. Damn good band.

The more metalcore I listen to, the less time I have for BTBAM's mathcore moments, but their weirdo prog metal is still tops.

Not a fan of voivod. Their pedestrian guitar tone is boring.
Doesn't matter what era of the band it is, it's the same boring tone. I enjoy the raw aggression of their first two albums, but I'd much rather listen to NME. Their album sleeves rule though. |
