So the way you evaluate your opinions on bands is, when a band hasnt been "good" in over a decade, you disregard everything good theyve produced and label them "shit music"?
I feel there are more exceptions to that "rule". Some of my favorite bands have some political lyrics; Misery Index, Carcass, Brutal Truth, and Dying Fetus...Why? Because they fucking rule.
I agree to an extent. They have more "boring" material than not however, I feel A Change of Seasons and Images and Words were anything but "boring". They were pretty good imo.
