Couldn't be bothered anymore

[Ducky]

Overkill are still putting out decent albums IMO.

Napalm Death - Smear Campaign was fantastic, probably my favourite by them but they fell sharply off the cliff after that. Haven't bothered with the last couple, have no inclination to at this stage. And from the live footage I've seen, Barney's voice is completely gone.

Apex Predator and Throes of Joy are two of their best, real returns to form.

Most of the bands mentioned are on the go 35 years or more.Your never going to stick with a band for more than 4/5 albums most of the time.

Katatonia and Vader would be two bands I adored from the 90s into the early 2000s, but tuned out after that.

A pile of bands on the go years for me now, are more about catching them live playing anniversary of early albums etc.Ive very little interest in most bands 12th album tbh.

How many of the bands mentioned already managed to deliver again as the pendulum came back up.
Few and far between id say.

[The Great Cull]

Life Of Agony is another one to add to the list. Loved them up to, and including, Broken Valley. Absolutely nothing worth a fuck after that.

I find myself drifting in and out of Enslaved albums, they still release good albums and keep my interest.
The last one not so great but Utgard was a good album.

[Circlepit]

For me Sodom are one of those bands. Bang out albums but none will capture the early power.
Having said that they still have it in them to surprise me with some brilliant songs.

[Pentagrimes]

I actually can't think of many bands in the (admittedly mostly "Extreme")metal sphere I need more than maybe 2 albums by. 4 max. Voivod are the obvious exception.

A band like Incantation or Unleashed for example- cracker debut and decent 2nd in both cases, still putting out passable records but I've no great urge to hear them as they captured their basic essence perfectly in the space of 2 albums.

[Sworntothecans]

Maiden after No Prayer for the Dying.
I've zero patience for Harris and his endless repetition.

NIN after The Fragile.

[Pagan Saviour]

Yeah surprised to see Dance of Death mentioned as a last good record. It's a comically bad album, the title track sounds like a twee Irish Jig. Horrendous muck altogether.

[Ducky]

Fucking YES to the Irish jig!!! I thought it was a Spinal Tap-esque parody first time I heard it. But nope, it's the title track of their new album and all the boys are creaming themselves over it.

I've a few Rage albums I like and will stick on every now and then, but looking them up on Metal Archives they've 28 studio albums, no one needs that many

I do.

And the new one's out next month.

[Pentagrimes]

Melvins. Will still go see them live any chance I get (they were great the other night), but the records since the Big Business era, which is almost 20 years ago now, have been hugely uninteresting bar a song or two here and there.

Likewise QOTSA

I am sort of the same on this and I love them including and up the "The Bride Screamed Murder".  Anything after gets a spin but not returned to.  Would have been in Dublin the other night only it was a fuckin Monday...

[The Heretic]

I forgot to mention Judas Priest as well, I'm not quite at the cant be arsed anymore stage yet, but I am in denial. I own all their albums, pre and post Painkiller but I never listen to anything after Painkiller anymore, actually I've never listened to Nostradamus and I own a deluxe version of it.
