Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor

[IOfTheStorm]

I searched..and i didnt find any thread about it. So i bought it 2 days ago from a store here (because as you know metal stores here rule more than the metal stores in your country) and i've heard it almost 10 times.
I definetally enjoy it a LOT more than EOR, and i dont find the weak moments that DHIADW had. Hell.. i even like The Final Product now (i didnt when they played it live here). The album kinda proves my theory : Nevermore HAD to have a second guitar player on the album recordings, in order to create someting special.
Of course it's too early to have a final opinion about it, all i can say is that i can consider it a "comeback" meaning that they brought back what intrigued me in the pre-DHIADW albums - complexity, depth in the compositions, inspirement, more soulfull music, intense moments and the will to create something non comformistic. It needs lots of listening sessions for sure.

This album is fucking phenomenal IMO, although I have the feeling most here will immediately dismiss this release. EOR has become pretty boring for me in the long run, I even got the remastered edition but production wasnt the reason for me disliking it. Right now this is my favorite Nevermore CD, but I have a feeling I'll still like Dreaming Neon Black the best in the end.

I wonder how much Warrel's newfound sobriety had to do with the band's resurgence. probably quite a bit.

 

[General Zod]

I'd say it's a combination of factors. I think that Smith not only contributes, but he probably makes Jeff push himself. Warrell's sobriety has got to be a positive factor. The whole debacle that was "Enemies" probably frustrated/inspired the band. Lastly, not having contract negotiations to do with, have probably allowed them to focus on the music.

I wanna hear! Dammnit! I was at a music store 2 days ago and all they had was each and every old Nevermore album.

TGE is tied with POE and DNB, in my book

Catchier? Perhaps. Not sure Nevermore is designed to be catchy. Better? Well, I suppose that's a matter of opinion. Have you heard the new one? If not, give it a spin. They might surprise you.

It's a great album. I've had it playing regularly ever since I got it.

i heard the new one and numerous previous releases. don't know, they don't have that "entertainment" factor i need in my metal. they come across a little too serious in all aspects.

Start listening to the Isole CD that you bought in the same haul instead!

We'll miss the drunken maniac, a small price to pay for a rejuvenated Nevermore...I've held off on hearing the majority of TGE, can't wait until it arrives...
