Dissection seem to sort of be like that to people in general; you either tend to really love them or find them overrated as hell. I'm firmly in the former camp, at least as Far as the first two LPs go. The Somberlain is one of my favourite records, even if it takes a bit of a Dive after "A Land Forlorn".

Reinkaos is terrible. It's not bad because it's Black Metal (who cares) but because of the Fact that it's just totally pedestrian and useless compared to even a lot of melodeath records.

^ thank you. Exactly how I feel about Reinkaos, and I'm in the latter camp you mentioned for Dissection as well. Like Merc said, they're obviously good musicians, but they can't write a compelling riff to save their lives.

Hehe...

Well, I expect this next one to annoy some.

-Another case similar to Obscura; the band is/was extremely talented, the songwriting is great, but something about it bores me out of my mind. The good thing is these guys don't resort to wank like Obscura did on Omnivium, so I may give these guys another chance.

EDIT: I like Dissection now. They aren't amazing, but they're pretty good.

I LOVE Dissection, but then again, i love just about every overly-melodic death or black band. Alotta people like to poop all over their last album, personally i like it as much or moreso than their other 2 releases, there's so many awesome melodies and solos throughout that entire album

After a few listens for Dissection's albums, I feel that they're very good... at a first listen.

Their replay value SUCKS.

Dissection sound pretty good to me, although I only listened to The Somberlain. Though I'm not sure they have such a rabid fan base to be qualified as being overrated.

Note that I am pretty much into melodic wanking as Demo said, and I frankly don't give a damn if people consider melo death to be weak - people start criticizing everything that gets a bit popular anyway. It is well known that Folk Metal is annoying, boring and cheesy, but I have to tell you something:
Currently, sheogaze/BM and bands like Alcest and Agalloch are regarded as being only for girls, just like Power Metal and symphonic.So be aware that you guys only listen to it because your girlfriend forcefully drags you to the concert, kay?

If I  even found one girl that listened to anything out of those you mentioned I would be the happiest man in earth.

Don't you have all those macho hot blond women with tattoos named Helga that listen to stuff more Extreme than you do in Sweden?



 
Ok, I'm kidding. Girls that like metal aren't that rare, you know. You probably don't notice them, or simply don't like when you meet one - that's usually the case.
