Let me start of by saying, I have been a fan of TDWP since 5th grade. I think plagues is great, roots was awsome.

that being said
dead throne was really a disappointment.

Mikes screams are getting worse. you can tell his voice is dying. his screams never were that great but they were never intolerable. In dead throne, it was just obnoxious.
also, everything on the album was dark and muddy, very unclear, and most of it sounded the same.
however, the drumming was pretty good, and there were a few good tracks on it.
