Heartwork > Slaughter of the Soul

[None_So_Vile]

Well yeah, the band sounding a bit commercial compared to their other releases isnt always bad but in this case, i wasnt too impressed

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

understandable.... it doesn't really bother me, i dont like to compare both old and new ATG though, as i think everything they have released is top quality in thier own right, although in the end i do find the older material more rewarding. my taste in ATG's best material is strangely similar to Guardian of Darkness's as i think that tracks 2,3,4, and 5 off "With Fear...." are ATG's best songs.

 

[no country for old wainds]

The majority on The Red in the Sky... are nearly as good, and in some cases perhaps equally so.

 

[Tanith]

I'd say Heartwork and Slaughter of the Soul are about equal. However, early Carcass pwnz Early At the Gates.

 

[SuicideMachine]

both overrated merely above average albums, nothing at all wrong with them, just completely mediocre and dull

But at a push, i'd say heartwork owns sots

 

[speed]

Both are excellent, however I listen to and enjoy Slaughter of the Soul much more more, but I have more respect for Heartwork.

At least weve moved on to comparisons, and not the standard what is your favorite metal album shit.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Yes. Comparisons are nice.

I prefer Heartwork's classically structured solos and rapid tempo shifts. Much of SOTS is bass-snare-bass-snare.

 

[ubiquitos]

what do you all think is the best song from each album?

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I couldn't pick...

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

Heartwork: Carnal Forge
SOTS: Suicide Nation

 

[Edgecrusher]

I didn't like Slaughter of the Soul... or that At The Gates/Grotesque CD either.

but my favorite track from 'Heartwork' would have to be "This Mortal Coil"

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

SOTS: SOTS
Heartwork: Heartwork(the only good song on the album)

 

[Caelum Adustum]

...but my favorite track from 'Heartwork' would have to be "This Mortal Coil"

 

[byrne]

both overrated merely above average albums, nothing at all wrong with them, just completely mediocre and dull

WTF? above average but mediocre?

Best song on SotS = Cold

 

[spigot]

The best song from Heartwork is Doctrinal Expletives. I don't like the ATG.

 

[Profano]

Carcass is much better than ATG.

Carcass is a legend, ATG have some good songs.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Meh. ATG at their peak absolutely demolish Carcass.

 

[speed]

ATG at their peak would not be slaughter, but red sky and terminal spirit. The swarm and raped by the light of christ are two of the most perfect death metal songs ive ever heard.

 

[Edgecrusher]

The Haunted are better than At The Gates

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The Haunted are better than At The Gates

...how?
