Let me just point out that this is their fourth album released in just two years, so basically they have been releasing a new album every six months, which is something that might explain why “Vol. 4” is just a weak and uninteresting collection of songs based around rudimentary riffs. Perhaps it would it more advantageous for Dope Smoker to invest more time on the songwriting and maybe release a new effort once a year or every two years than just record every riff and ideas and came up at the rehearsal room without much care for arrangements or details.
