Any hope for Soilwork?

[J.]

Does he mean trashy Maiden worship or THRASHY Maiden worship? Cause the former is definitely way more correct.

I think the latter is more correct.

I've heard those two on cd-r and chose not to buy either. It was rather meh even though this was back when I liked melo-death much more than I do now. Oh well, the only album I need is NBC and I only listen to it every few months. Soilwork is a band I don't think about unless someone mentions them and that isn't a good sign, but it sums up fairly well the kind of band they are. Good on occasion, but hardly essential.

Chainheart Machine is amazing album and that's the only Soilwork album that I still like to listen sometimes. FNF was just so fucking boring, just like few latest In Flames- albums. Mostly when people talks about technical stuff, they come up with Arch Enemy, but CM is much more technical that any Arch Enemy-release, but I guess there will not be anything like CM coming from Soilwork.

Judge for yourself if you care to. Haven't listened myself, probably will shortly for the inevitable comedy factor.

Sounds like another FNF...

Sweet creeping Jesus, JUMPDAFUKKUP. That wasn't even ATTEMPTING to be some kind of pussy borderline metalcore bullshit–pure fucking mallcore. That "I'm waiting for something to show/I might as well just drag me down so low" singing bit at the end was just PAINFUL. Ugh. Ugh. If the rest of the album is anything like this steaming heap of camel feces, N*Flaymz might just have made the second worst Gothenburg album ever.

I can't believe I paused Dark Avenger for that shit. Erik, if I go to Wacken I'm going to punch you. Back to power metal.

 

[Erik]

tbh I would take the last two In Flames albums over the last four Soilworks. SOILWORK IS FUCKING SHIT.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I don't know–after some FUCKING ASSHOLE put in Soundtrack To Your Painful Ass-Fucking (With No Lube) before a Death Angel show I went to, even shitty Depeche Mode-inspired mellowdick "metal" seems inspiring.

But let's be honest, In Flames and Soilwork basically two individual turdlings out of the same colossal dump–for all practical purposes, indistinguishable.

 

[Erik]

Yeah, but then again I like all In Flames albums before Gayman (HAHAHALOL) to some extent, sue me

As I've detailed before though, Soilwork were always shit, they have just morphed from shitty cloning of At the Gates' worst album to shitty mallcore. Oh and I really do think the last two In Flames albums are HORRIBLE, so that kind of tells you what I think about Soilwork, ha

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I dig The Jester Race to a degree, but really, almost nothing out of Gothenburg is capable of holding my attention without said attention being in the form of profanity-laced tirades against all things gay and wimpy in metal. Like I said, there's really no hope for either of em anymore. They deserve each other.

 

[Erik]

I concur, fuck off nowadays gothencore

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Glad we got that settled.

Hey, how's the new Amon Amarth? I see they are in your NP, and they are pretty much the only melodeath band I like, but I haven't heard Fate of Norns yet–apart from the preview track, which was pretty bland.

 

[Erik]

Hm yeah, I've only heard like three tracks from the promo, which doesn't have the same mastering as the finished product I hear -- I thought this had great sound. Much rawer, sounds more like a band playing than the overpolished Abyss sound they used to do. Anyway, it's cool. Nothing spectacular, reminds me a bit more of "Once Sent" and "Sorrow..." than the last couple of albums. I don't actually have anything after "Avenger" on physical format, I reckon once you have about two or three Amon Amarth releases you basically have them all, heh.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Hah, yeah, I've got The Avenger and VTW, and the other two on mp3 from my sister, and they're all pretty much in a similar class of "Hey, this is fun." But if Fate sounds more like Once Sent, I may have to pick it up, as that's somehow a step above the others.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Don't besmirch the name of Amon Amarth by discussing them in a thread about Soilwork, thanks.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Soilwork have always sucked, still suck, and always will suck. They're not interesting, they're not emotional, they're only technical. And that doesn't count for anything! Just look at Children of Bodom and Dream Theater.
