Man I really don't get the hate for post-Layne AIC. All the songs Duvall has contributed to writing or performed vocals ("Never Fade", "Last of My Kind", "Phantom Limb", "A Looking In View", "Acid Bubble", "So Far Under", Rainier Fog", etc...) are solid and usually highlights in their respective album.

Last of My Kind is so fucking killer.



It almost feels like a statement. Like Will is just letting loose and showing how good he really is

Seriously, Jerry might not be the most technical guitarist but the man is a fucking riff god



And his solos still rip. Dudes nearly 60 and still fucking killing it

Agreed. Jerry may not be the most technical but his playing has personality. You can tell he pours himself into it.

Yeah I’d never say it’s as good as Dirt or Jar of Flies but out of all of the bands that have been around as long as them, you’re not gonna find a single one that’s putting out material that’s still this solid

Megadeth? No shot. Don’t forget Super Collider is a thing. Even their last two are mid as hell.



Opeth? Sorceress and Heritage are also mid as hell, and even then the direction they went in just ain’t it for me chief.



Mayhem? Arguable. Daemon is honestly probably my favorite record they’ve done.



Cannibal Corpse has honestly just never been that good to me. They’re a fun death metal band but don’t have shit on the others you mentioned.



Not familiar enough with Cryptopsy to say, I’ll have to check them out.



And out of all the bands you could’ve mentioned you leave out Gorguts? They kick the shit out of every other band there.

"Megadeth? No shot. Don’t forget Super Collider is a thing. Even their last two are mid as hell.

" - Endgame, Th1rt3en, Dystopia are all better than this



Opeth - Heritage is brilliant



CC - objectively one of the most consistent bands ever.





This isn't even that good

Endgame was like 15 years ago, their recent output is trash.



And with Cannibal Corpse, yeah, it’s easy to stay consistent when you’re consistently just good. They don’t have an album that comes close to Alice’s 90’s material, or Jerry’s solo stuff for that matter (save for Brighten, it was fine but nothing special)

So let’s be real for a sec, shut the fuck up unless you have an actual argument to make.



When i said that, I meant mainstream 80s-90’s bands. And the best band you bring up Megadeth? gtfo with shit

"Endgame was like 15 years ago, their recent output is trash." - It was also further after their debut than this after Facelift, making the comparison more relevant than small mind paeons like yourself are capable of understanding,





"And with Cannibal Corpse, yeah, it’s easy to stay consistent when you’re consistently just good. They don’t have an album that comes close to Alice’s 90’s material, or Jerry’s solo stuff for that matter (save for Brighten, it was fine but nothing special)" - But you didn't say that, you said a band that has been going this long and still good. Again, you're taking an L here.



"So let’s be real for a sec, shut the fuck up unless you have an actual argument to make." - So don't go getting triggered about being called small-minded or a paeon.



"When i said that, I meant mainstream 80s-90’s bands. And the best band you bring up Megadeth? gtfo with shit" - Megadeth have sold more copies than AiC I think you'll find.



"And AGAIN, you left out Gorguts, which kicks the shit out of every band you mentioned" - Which completely makes your previous statement irrelevant.



Care to try framing some of that again?
