Nevermore... Dreaming Neon Black

[DrX]

What do you think of Dreaming Neon Black? I just got it and am really trying to get into it. I'm a little disappointed though after so many great reviews. I would post this in the Nevermore forum, but I want to know what the Opeth fans think. Of course, I have never been dissappointed by an Opeth album...

I agree, Dreaming Neon Black took quite awhile to get into. Do you have any other Nevermore albums? Many people like Dead Heart even better than DNB. But of course every album is different....which is a good thing I think.

I bought Dreaming Neon Black on the strength of the title track, but I ended up hating the album. (Turned out the title track had a different feel than the rest of the album, in my opinion.) But I'm not much of a Nevermore fan in general, so I'm biased. I sold it on Ebay.

I have 4 Nevermore cds, including, DHDW, and to me, without a doubt, DNB is their best. What is not to like about it?

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

DNB is a very good album. Along with Politics of Ecstasy, is one of nevermore's best releases.

I'm not a fan of DeadHeartInADeadWorld, but give me the old stuff like 'In Memory' anyday.

DNB=10/10

well, DNB was the first Nevermore album i heard, so it kinda special for me
and i like it quite well!!

 

[NastyJoan]

What? Dissapointed with Dreaming Neon Black?

Have you heard it drunk my friend?, DNB was the most exquisite taste o Power Metal (Until Dead Heart... came out) and I mean

POWER Metal my friend

Sing like Beyond Within,I Am the Dog,Poison Godmachine and of course Dreaming Neon Black are already Classics, you must listen to it once or twice again because it is not one of those in-two-weeks-forgotten records

 

[HellSpawn]

gotta agree with NastyJoan on this one.. 'cuz it is a great album

 

[DrX]

Actually, I am kind of getting into it. I force myself to listen to it a lot because I paid 15 dollars for it. Now I find certain parts of it going through my head from time to time. I would now say it is a decent CD.

 

[JesusChristPose]

from DNB are...

Beyond Within
Death of Passion
Dreaming Neon Black
The Lotus Eaters
All Play Dead
Cenotaph

and probably my favorite...No More Will

DeadHeartInADeadWorld is the album to show the world that power metal doesn't have to be dragons, tight leather and plastic swords. It's a masterpiece, that album! DNB I seldom listen to, it's so spooky and depressing considering what it's about. It's about Warrels girlfriend who moved to Africa with this sect only to dissappear-some weeks later she was found in a river, drowned. That really happened, folks.

DNB is easily their best album. It's dark, moody, great guitars, and some of their best songs ever. "All Play Dead" is my favorite song. It just rips. I knew the album had a story to it, but I had no idea it was about his girlfriend. I'm gonna go home and play it again now. I really wish Tim Calvert was still in the band. Something about that cd is just different, but it is definently good. Seems like Dead Heart is a little more straightforward. I mean the guitars still kill, but on DNB there is just this feel to them that is awesome. Hard to explain,but if you really like the album you know what I'm talking about.

I don't like Nevermore. I saw them in tour with Opeth, and they bored me to death. Credit to them they played after Opeth, and that was bound to happen with any band.

I love this album, as a matter of fact I was listening to it when I saw this thread. Now playing: Dreaming Neon Black

 

[Soul Forlorn]

I never have been able to get into Nevermore. Warrel's an extremely talented vocalist, yet I just can't get into his style. I used to have DNB. Don't get me wrong, it has its moments and did listen to it occasionally but it just didn't do much for me.

One of the most emotionally wrenching and inventive albums ever made...Dreaming Neon Black is a disturbing work of art born from the desperation of a troubled soul...

Thats a perfect description! I love Nevermore and I have all of their albums(DNB is my favorite). Warrel Dane is one of the most talented and unique singers I have ever heard, and he is a brilliant lyricist. All of their albums are amazing, but their self-titled debut often seems to go un-noticed. It has some great tracks: C.B.F., The Sanity Assassin, Garden of Grey.

I saw Nevermore a couple months ago, they are amazing.
