** Metal blog Metal Sucks speculated that ''Koloss'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck would suffer from this]] because of it being released in 2012 during the heyday of the djent movement. It did suffer from some backlash, but it was generally praised by both fans and critics.
** This feeling about the band has eased off in recent years, due to djent not being the trendy form of metal anymore and them changing their sound up a bit from ''The Violent Sleep of Reason'' onwards.

* FaceOfTheBand: Tomas and Jens. The former for being the band's primary creative force and one of the main songwriters. The latter, in addition to being the vocalist, is the most recognizable to causal audiences for being bald and making strange faces.

Since they take elements of so many styles, most fans agree that calling them "experimental metal" is about the only thing you can do to accurately label them.

Fixed the Face Of The Band ZCE. Removed the "arguable" objective tropes from the YMMV page.


* AscendedExtra: There's a point to be made that Dick Lovgren is one. He's gone from just being the band's bass player to being one of the band's main songwriters from ''The Violent Sleep of Reason'' onwards. This is more impressive when you realise that, while he was a member during the recording of ''Catch Thirtythree'', he didn't record a single bass part on the album.



* DemotedToExtra: It could be argued that this has happened to Fredrik. He didn't tour with the band from 2017-2021, and he wasn't involved in the songwriting process for ''The Violent Sleep of Reason'' and ''Immutable''.



%%* FaceOfTheBand: Tomas. Jens and Fredrik are also good contenders.

* CreativeDifferences: Apparently the reason why Gustaf Hielm was asked to leave the band in 2001. He wanted to have a greater role in the band's creative process, which the rest of the band weren't open to at the time.

* BrokenBase: The debate between whether the original or reissue versions of ''Nothing'' are better than the other. Some fans liked the original version for having a warmer, more nuanced sound due to the use of downtuned seven-string guitars, which introduced a more "rubbery" tone as the looser strings would slip out of tune, while fans of the newer version prefer the reissue version due to the tighter overall sound and for being recorded with eight-string guitars as originally intended.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some older fans didn't really like the post-''Chaosphere'' releases, as they felt that the band lost much of their musical aggression with their greater focus on slower, groovier tracks. ''Nothing'' and ''Catch Thirtythree'', in particular, get hit by this sentiment the most. (Despite this, ''Catch Thirtythree'' is currently their second highest rated full-length album on Metal Archives - go figure.) This feeling subsided after they introduced thrashier elements back in [=''ObZen''=].
