Could some explain to me what the big deal about Nevermore is? I only have Dreaming Neon Black which I thought was 'the one' to have and while I like it OK it doesn't blow me away by any means. What am I missing here? just seem so-so to me. Haven't felt the need to explore their catalog any further.

seem them live 3 times, but never had a desire to buy an album...

I dunno, to me Nevermore are all about huge, gigantic guitar riffs and solos, awesome production (well, except for that godawful original version of Enemies Of Reality), excellent songwriting and very memorable melodies. The vocals aren't the greatest, but I find them tolerable, and he hits some really cool notes very often. Dreaming Neon Black is good, but my advice to you would be to try Dead Heart In A Dead World or the new one, This Godless Endeavor, to see if they change your opinion any.

They sucked ass the one time I seen em, in Toronto back in November 2003. Terrible sound, lifeless performances, awful setlist, zero reaction from the crowd...it got so bad that Warrel Dane was practically BEGGING the crowd to get some sort of a pit going, but to no avail. They were so bad that I almost stopped being a fan of theirs, but they were also severely out of place on that tour (Dimmu/CoB/Hypocrisy), and that didn't help their case any.

yeah I saw that show too, and also the first OPETH N/A tour, and then with Megdaeth recently....
