Well you guys certainly like to talk shit on vital. But you do have to realize that their music is looked up to and well-respected in the metal community by many. Vital is a band that constantly tries to "up the bar" with every successive album, as Tony has been known to say in interviews, hence the changes in style.

So if you prefer the older shit, cool, keep listening to it. But why would you constantly bitch about them? Have you nothing better to do than post negativity? Vitals new shit has gotten them far more well known and better reviews. And if you're going to talk smack on lineup changes, have actual reasons to back it up. For example: because they are not technically up to par (which I'm sure is not true).

And, in my opinion, money issues shouldn't make a difference when it comes to liking a band's music. Do you guys even understand the music industry? If you did you would know how guarantees, contracts, and the business end of it works. Musicians constantly get ripped off by promoters so there comes a point when they have to stand up for themselves. Spend some time in the scene and you will see what I mean.

I also would like to add that by what many of you write, you come off as bitter/jealous, especially Autopsy 666. I'm assuming that since this is a new england based message board that you are from new england and maybe have some kind of resentment towards the band? I don't know man, thats just what I think.
