They are different, but on the "goodness" scale, i think they are about equal. I dunno. I just like the progressive weird riffing of PoE and DNB... i wish they would do less normal chuggy chuggy and more bizarre atmosphere. There are a few twisted riffs and such on the new one, but for too much of it sounds normal to me... normal metal... and the production doesn't help. The guitar tone is good, but there just seems to be something missing. Not enough balls, not enough sledge hammer to the face, and too much flat blahhh
