Because YOU'RE OLD.

[Gordon Williams]

Two very contrasting listens. The Opeth has plenty of "musicality"...but its just too dull and slow and uninteresting to hold my attention at all. Not enough energy for me to listen to this.

The Overkill is the opposite...plenty of energy in this style, but just not enough musicality for me. Vocals and drumming get on my nerves at times. Some decent riffing, but it's just too much "overload" for me to really dig it.

[Scandal 2000]

Opeth-Thumbs Up

Overkill-Thumbs Up. I love Overkill. They are my favorite thrash band ever and in my opinion only made one bad album, I Hear Black. These guys never fail to deliver.
