I recommend Soilwork's new cd "Stabbing the Drama".

[Xalon Niles]

Soilwork are awesome on their new cd with melodic rang in the music and Speed's sing is a major growth in range. A huge true follow-up to Natural Born Chaos.

 

[Dark idea]

I really cant get on to Soilwork.....it just aint for me

 

[Devillicus]

Nope. Worst Soilwork album, ever.

*beats thread starter to death with a copy of Chainheart Machine*

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

STD is much better than FNF. Not anywhere close to being as good as DT's Character.

 

[Warheart2]

The album sucks. It bored me after the 3rd listening...

 

[Arch]

I will check out "Stabbing the drama" album before the Soilwork/DT show this week. This will determine if I should stay for Soilwork.

 

[Devillicus]

Well, since you're already going to be there, you may as well see how it plays in a live setting. Besides, the old stuff still rules live.

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

I really like Nerve and Where Ever Thorns May Grow.

 

[Tmansdc]

Yeah, besides, they only play four songs off of STD.

I LOVE STABBING THE DRAMA!!!!!

Apologies for the caps, just seems like most people are saying it's not such a good album. As far as Soilwork goes, it's the only album I've properly liked - I've listened most of their albums, Figure Number Five, Natural Born Chaos, Predators Portrait, and I prefer STD out of all of them.
There's a massive improvement in the clean vocals compared to FNF and NBC, that's what's converted me anyway. Also some great drumming, and VERY catchy memorable songs and riffs.
I'd be well up for seeing them if they tour on the back of STD in the UK.....

If I had to choose between Soilwork's STD and Dark Tranquillity's Character....Hmm...tough one. I've been a fan of DT for ages, I love the albums Damage Done, Haven, Projector, The Mind's I, but I've found Character hard to get into, I think it's because it's more adventurous and not as immediately catchy as Damage Done. Still, I do like it, specially the second half of the album, eg. One Thought, Senses Tied, etc.
I wish Soilwork and DT were touring together in the UK

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

I liked Character more than Damage Done. Format C For Cortex and Treason Wall are my favs from that album.

 

[WestHammer]

character is catchy as
thats not a bad thing i think its real good

std is ok - better than fnf and nbc, but def. not predators or chainheart

 

[Reaper of Souls]

every soilwork cd has been mentioned except steelbath suicide

 

[WestHammer]

steelbath is great too..

there ya go

wish they played aardvark trail live...
bastards

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

WHats up with your Signature WestHammer??

If thats a quote from POINT BREAK then its suppose to be "ACID IN YOUR MOUTH", not ass. If its not from that movie then nevermind. But Patrick Swayze says that line to Keanu Reeves. YOU WANT ME SO BAD ITS LIKE ACID IN YOUR MOUTH

 

[solefald]

hm I started list to soilwork at the release of a predators portrait but the other 2 albums werent so cool as APP, so I was also dissapointed by STD.
sorry soilwork

 

[WestHammer]

hehe yeh it is that line

but it does sound like he says ass in ur mouth
everytime i see that movie i go wtf it sounds like ass!
and i beleive that wouldve been a better line
so much more 80's

 

[WestHammer]

thats the reason i didn't quote the movie tho..

I have all the old albums, but I'm a little hesitant to pick the new one up. I've heard some new songs live and they were alright, but nothing really grabs me and says "Go out and buy the album now!". There is one really heavy song (Don't know the name)that I heard that was pretty damn good. I guess I'll have to hear the whole album all the way through too really decide if I like it or not.
