They have a distinctive sound and vocalist which no other band can even come close to recreating
Dude... you're not getting my point. I have the utmost respect for WD, i have never attacked him... WD is a god of the voice, his work on ALL nevermore albums is amazing, including DHIADW. WD IS THE MAN... but that doesn't stop the music from being 'not up to the standard that they themselves set with POE and DNB'.
I seriously hope you aren't camparing DHIADW to Risk
Nah man... I wasn't comparing it to RISK. no way. Risk is horrid.... DHIADW is good, it's just not great. I wasn't comparing the two, i was just using Risk to express what i meant to the lamers who are attacking my opinion.
How can a band sell out when they alter their playing style
GOD YOU ARE A FUCKING CUNT!! You are stupid man! How many times have i said to you "NEVERMORE HAVEN'T SOLD OUT"...!! How many fucking times? I have explained this to you OVER and OVER again.
Another example: Megadeth's Youthanasia... Is a terrible album. Horrid, not as bad as risk... but still pretty bad. But that doesn't mean that they sold out. Their style changed, for the worse, but i don't beleive that at that poin Megadeth was trying to sell out.
I have NEVER said that NEVERMORE HAVE SOLD OUT. I have never said that, and i never will.
BUT! I will stand fast by my opinion of DHIADW, and that JEFF is capable of much better guitarwork... How many of you are guitarists? I am amazed by POE, but the only thing on DHIADW that makes me even raise an eye-brow to the guitaring is the solo from Riverdragon, and that is pretty straightforward in itself.
Listen to how Nevermore utilize their instruments on Poe.. Amazing stuff, YET it is good songwriting. DHIADW is good songwriting, but it seriously takes about as much talent to play most of this stuff as it does to play an Iced Earth Song.
