Have you heard something we haven't or did you just comment a bootleg recording thinking it sounds just like the album? That's just stupid or perhaps you are a troll. Bootlegs always sound bad no matter how good the album itself sounds. If you referring to the bass and drums played through speakers while Jeff was playing then well it's that bootleg quality which makes those sound bad. And obviously it can't be final mix because there's no vocals on it. And we don't know yet whether those were just temporal background music or not.
If you referring to that short sample then you should know that Youtube compresses it a bit and you shouldn't wrote like you would have heard the whole song when you haven't. Just wait for the album before making judgments like that.
No..
I am referring to the leaked MP3 of the title track from the album. So before you go pointing fingers and thinking "I don't know what the fuck I am talking about" you should do some research as to what I do and why I make the comments I do.
All you "fan bois" who have jumped on ship since "fruit of the loomis" jumped into "shred god" status need to just go the hell away.

There was a time before "fruit of the loomis" was famous. A time before his guitar had 7 strings, and a floyd rose, it was a happy place. It was a time when pizza didnt have okra on it.
There came along an old and wise man who spewed forth words of truth and substance, spitting in the face of all the great injustices in this world. It was this man who planted the seed, when he looked like a woman, when he hit pitches so high they shattered the very fabric of the universe.
Then along came a young boy and his guitar, together they would make great music. With the help of a few friends, one named after a "pedo-mobile" and one who tended to the "flock". They would create a sound none which had ever heard. This was the sound of the future of Metal.
Then along came along the 7 string guitar........

Anyway, I have been a Nevermore fan longer then some of you have even been walking. Since the days when Jeff was actually in Sanctuary. I got into this band cause I am a WD Fan and have been since his Sanctuary days. This is
not to say I am any better then you, but it does give me the freedom to say what I will about this band as I have so many times in the past.
You may not like it, in-fact you don't even have to read it. But as much as "the regulars" that were here before me hate to hear me say it. I have been a regular on this board for 5 years, and in those 5 years I have always been REAL about the quality of the music of this band, and my opinion of it.
Jeff is an awesome guitar player, and WD is probably my 2nd fave vocalist of all time (sorry man the fag from england beat you out ...lol). Van is a monster behind the kit, and how can you say a bad word about Jim. He is THE MOST MELODIC AND SOLID BASSIST TO EVER LIVE imho.
But .....
The songwriting on most of the stuff since DHIADW is just the same regurgitated LOW B infused mess.
Oh and to the putz who basically said POE sucked, you are obviously just another Loomis fanboi. Get with the program.
