When I think about DotL/MotU it's a bit like when I think about TJR/Whoracle or Colony/Clayman. Two albums that are similar but different, and both records that I have a lot of love for. I'd probably pick DotL out of the two if I had to choose one, just because I enjoy that it's a little less...

Hah, well just for you I changed it :cool: no mistaking that for a pop group, my friend. I AM VENGEANCE.

I didn't like 'Do or Die' either, nor was I a fan of the other single they released... 'Strong', I think? But yeah, Viral and Archangel were tracks that I thought were a lot of fun in a typical Amaranthe pop-metal kind of way. The overall album turned out to be very meh, though, so that was a...

Just suggests metal as a whole sucks at the moment tbh.

I don't really follow the fan base anymore so idk, but I know in the UK at least they play much smaller venues than they did 10-15 years ago.

I've always considered Come Clarity as their peak as a band, if you're using a venn diagram of commercial success/general popularity/musical excellence. Feels like it was pretty much all downhill from there, although SC was definitely the tipping point from a musical excellence perspective. It's...

Hmmm yeah, that's a lot closer to their self-titled/Nexus sound than I've heard from them in a long time. As you say, it's nothing special - but feels like a shift back towards their earlier sound compared to recent efforts. It's pretty basic in a lot of respects - fairly simplistic riffs and...

Is it any good?

There are quite a lot of 'tribute' riffs and melodies in THE tracks that callback to IF & DT. Since these guys were major parts of those bands it doesn't bother me, though.

Yeah that's a nice little instrumental track from DT. Has a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe to it, although who knows if that's what they were going for. We know all of the Swedish MDM bands have major love for 80s rock, pop and metal so it's certainly possible.

They are one of the most inconsistent somewhat popular metal bands to ever exist. It's highly unlikely they will take the next logical step in their musical "evolution", whatever that is meant to be these days. Their post-2000 history provides comprehensive evidence for this. Foregone totally...

A few months, but I knew well ahead of time that I was going to rip all of the episodes, so I spaced out the downloads across a period of months. If I'd needed to do it fast I could have done it over a weekend - I would just have to have paid for the software that ripped it, instead of using the...

We lost all of that stuff when the international Network got pulled a while back. I ripped all of the Nitro and Thunder episodes from the period I cared about (basically 1995 - 1998), but didn't bother with much from 1999 - 2001. Just a handful of episodes here and there.

Hard to understand why they wouldn't let Cena do a full-time final run. Maybe they didn't want a nostalgia run to overshadow the rest of the product for a year? I kind of get it, but at the same time... it's John Cena. There's a way to make it work, to weave it into storylines to enhance them...
