well, i´m not sure, but i think it´s because i simply discovered Nevermore after this release. yes i knew this band before, but very marginal. None of older songs left any flashback in my mind....maybe just "My Acid Words" . And after i heard "Emptiness Unobstructed" first time it simply came This song is best for me. .... It doesn´t mean that any of older albums are bad.
And i´m usually listening different kind of metal

Yeah i completly agree with you, not only on this exemple but in other bands!!

Amazing album. Jeff Loomis rips!

Not sure that i agree with giving this album a 10, as it isn't perfect, but it sure as hell comes fucking close. Dane's vocals are obviously one of the highlights here, but the tight guitar work by none other than jeff loomis and some amazingly constructed melodies in the longer songs (as in the title track and 'The Sentient') prove this album to be an instant classic in nevermore's discography. Oh,and the title track is fucking awe-inspiring.

I think that the vocals tarnish an otherwise great album. There's no power behind his voice, no grit. Not saying the vocalist isn't capable of it, he just doesn't use it. I think if Dane Warrel was to utilise the vocals he exhibits on this album optimally, they would have to be much more melodious. Despite that I do believe that there is threshold of emotion behind his voice.

Basically, my problem with this band

Wowza, Warrel hate? The vocals are what makes this band for me.

That's interesting, but I see your point. I for one actually think Warrel's Dane's vocals are a great aspect of the band, but to each his own. I've heard his solo work and actually prefer the vocals in Nevermore to be honest.

The Acid words

No doubt it's a great record but it's not flawless

The music on this album is as good as the cover art is ugly, and damn that artwork is ugly

Very sad and unfortunate news. My condolences to the family and the fans.

Some good songs but there were some songs that didn't do it for me "My Acid Words", "Bittersweet Feast", "Sentiment 6" and "Medicated Nation" were mediocre as hell, and for some reason I hated it. After them the songs started going up in terms of quality from there. But it's still not ground breaking.

My Acid Words, Bittersweet Feast, Sentiment 6, together with Born and the title track are the heart of this album for me. I prefer them to all other songs here.
Overall very good album, but not entirely consistent as to song quality. Some 8.2 in my books.

Coming back to this one from time to time.
It is so incredibly diverse in quality, I have always thought.
The title track, Born, Acid Words... that is so genious!
Sentient 6, Bittersweet Feast also excellent.
But then songs like tracks 2, 6, 9, 10...
If it werent for these tracks this would be one of my favourite albums of all time I guess. It aged quite well.

One of the best albums of the 2000s like Dead Heart in a Dead World. Heavy, technical, melodic and unique

One of the best bands metal has ever had!

Doesn't say much when almost half of your album votes are 10s and the other half 9s.
