How can you say that? In In the Name of God, the solos blend together with everything else so well and the same for Stream

In The Name of God is a masterpiece, This Dying Soul is the only time the wank really bothers me on TOT, and I still like the song

Yeah, even the solo on As I Am is the best part of the song

The guitar and drum solo in As I Am are the only things keeping it from being the worst on there

Nah, it would take much more to get any worse than Honor Thy Father

At least Honor Thy Father has cool instrumental parts, even behind the awful singing and lyrics. As I Am is an even worse Metallica ripoff than Constant Motion

Are you being serious? The lyrics and the melodies are among their worst and just don't suit DT

First and last track, and maybe Panic Attack and Sacrificed Sons. Give it a go, you might like it

I agree with you guys about In The Name Of God and As I Am, but the bad wank moments far outweigh the good ones.

I don't get how people can be a fan of DT and complain about the wank.

None of it used to be that way. Now both are huge problems, but the wank is something that hits harder initially

It's enjoyable wank though. I would think DT fans would understand by now that wank is part of the DT sound. What great DT album or song doesn't have wank? This albums t/t is the only one that comes to mind. Their best albums wank just as much as their 00's ones too

Because there was a time when they did it effortlessly and it worked within songs. And what Chocco said.

Wank should be done sparingly and at appropriate times, both of which aren't in a lot of recent albums

"It's enjoyable wank though."



most of their recent wankery is just so over-the-top and sounds horrible

Yeah, but lets take Learning To live for example. The instrumental parts have many more faces and variation to it that it's actually engaging throughout. Modern DT uses the same damn sound for all of its solos and after a while, it just becomes too much

"I don't get how people can be a fan of DT and complain about the wank"

Their wank was tasteful and kept under control during the 90s. After Scenes it just became ridiculous
