I just forced myself to listen to Epitaph by Necrophagist (second full listen), and I've come to the conclusion that Necrophagist blows. Sure, Suicmez is an insanely talented guitarist, but he can't write a song to save his life, which isn't really shocking to me anymore because this is the way a lot of metal bands are nowadays.

Word. Any Dragonforce album is better written than Epitaph, I reckon.
Onset of Putrefaction has merit but I still find it pretty dull.
"Only Ash Remains" is cool, but it's pretty retarded that they had to rip off Prokofiev for the ending.
Like Liquid Tension Experiment
Necrophagist always seemed like wank for the sake of wank to me, which I've never liked. By that I mean it has no real emotion or power behind, it's just skilled guitar playing.
I think Necrophagist actually has some catchy and memorable riffage; it's not all pointless wankery.
Although a big fan of the real heavy stuff out there (CC, Morbid Angel, Lamb of God, Benediction etc etc) I sometimes listen to Poison when I'm feeling down.

I don't know if I can handle Job For a Cowboy heavy
