Dethklok's Dethalbum II is More Metal, Less Dethklok

Dethalbum II is undoubtedly a great metal album.
The riffs are both heavy and catchy. The solos are intense. The churning beats will have you unable to stop bobbing your head.
What the album is not is a great Dethklok album.
Dethalbum II sounds to me like what might happen in Dethklok’s fictional universe if lead singer Nathan Explosion were to do a solo album. The product wouldn’t fall too from from the Dethklok tree, but it would have its own spin to the sound and be, despite the similarities, distinctly un-Dethklok.
Not too unlike the solo album from Serj Tankien of System of a Down, as it happens.
The feeling I get upon listening to Dethalbum II is a little hard to explain.
