Like An Ever Flowing Stream is classic, but I really feel that Indecent & Obscene is a much better record, though quite similar in many ways. It's an elevation.

I definitely wouldn't call it an elevation, but yea its my second favorite albums from them ... but a very far second.

Anything post Organic Hallucinosis is nu metal, and is trash, especially that awful new album. The band should have called it quits after the bus accident. They're making a mockery of such a once great band.

lolwat? Their last THREE albums(including OH) might be super heavy in the groove department, but nu metal? lmoa. Carnival and Blood Mantra are both better albums than Organic Hallucinosis.
Definitely controversial!
Numetal? Definitely and obviously not, though I clearly see how it's starkly different from the early stuff.

I didnt even bother with Carnival.... I did listen to a few songs off Blood Mantra though and remember thinking wtf is this shit? And never going back. The only thing other I've listened to by the band in years is the debut and I don't even spin it very often.

I've never listened to the recordings post Organic Hallucinosis but I've seen them live a couple of times and that was enough to know to steer clear of their new material. And I really liked Organic Hallucinosis.
No one has really explained what exactly is wrong with the post Vitek records. Yes they're "different" but that says nothing. I'd love to know specifically what the issue is. Genuine curiosity on my part, not elitism.

Wait, Decapitated is djent? I thought djent was just a style based on muted strings from an 8 string guitar. Does Decap use 8 string guitars?

Well he's not that far off. They definitely have some DJENT in their sound, but im not sure the "technical" tag would apply to them anymore. Definitely death metal though.

I hear little to no death metal in their sound. Nu metal at worst, proggy groove metal at best. It's like Machine Head trying to be interesting, and failing miserably. I hold it in the same regard as recent Sepultura; modern trash riding a trend. Everyone I've talked to about Decap basically calls it nu metal, but I've also heard groove metal and djent, all of which fit. What does not fit, is death metal.
U_C asked for a less elitist-y view on what's wrong with them, and what I said above obviously reeks of elitism. Musically, what I find wrong is this: the vocals are no longer death growls, they're weak hardcore shouts, again like what happened to Sepultura. The music is no longer rooted in complex, winding riffs like they used to have, instead opting for boring, chugged, "off-time" palm-muted Machine Head rip-offs. The drums are no longer insane blasts and lightning fast double bass, having been replaced with dulllllllllll as fuck Vinnie Paul worship. I legitimately hate what Decapitated has become, and that's coming from someone who thinks Winds of Creation is a masterpiece. I hope that explains why so many fans have changed their opinions on the band and why they are NOT death metal.

Yeah, their recent album is even worse than 2013's Carnival is Forever. They have declined since Organic Hallucinosis.
