Opinion: Losing Jim Martin changed their sound more than gaining Mike Patton.
I’ve been on a deep dive of FNM this last couple weeks. Loved the band since I saw them open formMetallica on the Justice tour. I love the whole catalog, but man did they lose something special when Jim Martin left. I don’t think anyone sounds like him. Seriously, he just has a pathos and vibe to his playing and tone that I miss on the last three albums.
