In my opinion, i think it's bullshit if you want a band to go back to their "sources"..
I think Nevermore knows where they come from and evolving is good!!! If a band stays put where they were, after they had a succes album, you get the same critics as what happend with (for example) Rhapsody. They keep doing the same bullshit over and over again and it becomes boring.
A band needs to grow and maybe the newies don't seem to be as good as the feeling you get from, for example DNB...but to experience something new? that is the best reward you can get from a band, BUT...that's how i see it.
I had to grow into Dead heart too, it took a while.
And it's still Nevermore to me, in all it's facets.
I do not doubt Enemies of Reality at all!!
Maybe it doesn't hit me at once...but it'll come!!
BUT...fact is, Enemies of Reality is still in my head after almost a year...so i think it won't be a problem!!
I'm so exiiiited!!!
