These guys are one of the few remaining bands that managed to evolve as a band, but adhere mostly to the traditional Gothenburg melodeath style they helped create. The impression I get from listeners is that interest has waned over the decades due to the fact that they've remained mostly the same for a long time, yet we see so many people bitch and award minimal ratings to new albums when bands change. I have no doubt this will be a stellar album, they've never disappointed me.

So true. I hate the hypocrisy of people who complain about bands who don't evolve and than turn around and complain about bands that do too. Truth is most of us would rather hate on an album or band rather then actually take the time to listen and enjoy them.

I personally love DT and love the evolution that the band has taken over the years. Can't wait for this one too!

Well that's an old discussion : evolve or not ? Stay true or not ? I have nothing against changes as long as they bring quality and this is what DT has managed to do ever since Projector. I do think tho that most of you would agree that some bands like In Flames also evolved but not the right way... I also like the way Cradle of Filth (to stay into bands I've followed over 10 albums or so) has changed and tweaked their style even tho some albums may sound weaker than others but at least you can pick up your favorite

In Flames is a tough subject though. They evolved to change their whole audience. Obviously if you ask their old audience (most MS users) they aren't going to approve of the change. However, In Flames has fans now from the Mainstream/Slipknot type. I still like some songs here and there of In Flames but the old stuff is where I was a big fan too. However, I think they do better financially now so I can't really fault them too much.

Cradle is a good example of a band thats changed well. I also really like the Amorphis example - their changes have been very positive and each rendition of the band has been great in their own right.
