I'm a die hard fan. One of my favorite bands. It hasn't been til the last couple full lengths that I found myself luke warm on them, and even then, it's fine. Just such a versatile band, where even if a release isn't a masterpiece of whatever genre they're aiming for, it's still impressively rock solid.

There's no arguing with the early stuff though. Bona fide legendary releases. If your coming from that world and can't get on with their catalog after they started experimenting it's understandable. At least Haavard finally came out from hiding for his solo stuff and Dold Vorde Ens Navn to scratch that itch.
