I find their metal albums to be really drab and also not very well written. It's very obvious that they're just sort of gluing together a bunch of ideas - leading to these long, multi part tracks with often very clumsy transitions from one idea to the next. They have their own sound, so that's a good thing about them, and they're not bad musicians either. I just don't think they ever had much grasp of how to write a good song either.
