Another thread on the new Soilwork...

[RETIREDTrapped]

ugh!! Trapped i am gonna have to agree with you!!!

FINALLY you see the light.

I'm not just full of shit like most of you think, there is method to my madness... Soilwork are going downhill, despite the fact they have release some (well... two) brilliant albums...

Don't follow something simply because you like their old works... listen for yourself and see rather than blindly following a band for the simple reason that they were once great *cough*Metallica*cough*

hehehe!! Well i normally disagree with you... This may be the only time i agree, so write it down in your books... We seem to be in the minority, But i don't think that necessarily makes me believe we are right though hehe

I personally think that NBC is by far their best work, and the natural progression from APP.

It's a unique album, and I hated it the first time I heard it (I believe my reaction was: "when did they get all wussified?")

But after a few listens, I was blown away. The talent was still there, and the music was much more memorable.

Soilwork could have gone two ways with this album, IMO.

Made an album just like APP, and run the risk of sounding generic,

Or make an album that extends on the few parts that set APP apart (clean singing, song structure) and take a risk by doing something original.

I LOVE the direction they decided to go.
