Are You Morbid?
I tried Nevermore out, and I tried very hard, but I just don't find anything really special about their music. Good musicians, but nothing special. Don't get it, but hey.

Salvatore said:Talk about over-rated how about Opeth? They sound just like Tool but with occational growling vocals. Big deal, People on their forum are talking like Opeth invented someting. I do however like Bloodbath. The singers old side project band.
Jenna_Bush said:Yup.
schenkadere said:Putting all things with Billy out of the picture...what is the general opinion of Nevermore?
I love power metal. I recently downloaded their latest album,This Godless Endeavor, after hearing such rave reviews. What a disappointment. This is crap of epic proportions. Jeff Loomis is nothing to speak of...wow, another guy who can sweep pick...snore!
Anyway...I was so pissed off at this purchase that I wrote this review on RateYourMusic if anyone is interested:
"Godless indeed! If there is a god, he would not have allowed this album to be recorded...or at least he would have mercy on us and destroy every copy. This is an incredibly overrated album from an equally overrated band. This sounds like a cross between a heavy Queensryche and Mr. Roboto...Kilroy was here...and left holding his ears! From beginning to end, this sounds like one continuous track broken up by an occassional acoustic interlude. I'm glad I only spent 10 bucks to download this crap from iTunes, but I'm angry I spent even that much!
Jeff Loomis is an overrated guitarist. He possesses technical prowess, but lacks the emotion and sense of melody of a true guitar hero. I've heard him compared to Yngwie, which is ludicrous. As for the singer, Rob Halford didn't sound this queer on his gayest day. Sure these guys can play, but there is a serious lack of melody, hooks, and excitement that are the integral ingredients of power metal.
Don't waste your time or money...for this album is truly a godless endeavor."
Just curious if anyone else here has an opinion.

Devy_Metal said:Funny because
a: nevermore arent a powermetal band
b: Jeff Loomis plays the most emotional solos in metal (ie heart collector, engines of hate, tge, etc etc) and his note selection is of a rare breed (again, engines of hate, believe in nothing, narcosynthesis).
I find if funny how a fan who knows nothing about music or guitar playing can claim Loomis doesnt have 'emotion and a sense of melody' when other prominant guitar players and musicians sing his praise on a daily basis (akerfeldt, sanders, petrucci, mustaine, the list goes on).
So, not that Nevermore is the most complex band in the world, but it's obvious you just dont have the mental capacity to actually listen to what you are hearing.

If someone want's to rip on your favourite band who gives a flying fuck. I understand that you are a Nevermore groupie and have probably never washed the hand that you used to jerk off Loomis last time Nevermore passed through your town, but you are way too sensitive. If I would rather clap my balls between two bricks than listen to the onslaught of wailing shit that is the latest Nevermore CD big deal. Contrary to what you want to believe, not everyone is going to have a Nevermore shrine set up in the corner of their living room. Stop crying into that tub of ice-cream, wipe your tears and move on.
