New Soilwork album is incredible!

[ProgMetalFan]

I can't believe how good this album is! It is their best yet! So melodic! Devin Townsend's wizadry is all over this album with the thick and lush production.

 

[Gaunerin]

I have to agree here. I love that album as well.

 

[Vim Fuego]

I wouldn't say incredible. Pretty good maybe, but I found it getting a bit boring after a couple of listens. And I reckon the Devin Townsend influence is overstated.

Yes, quite good, but not a classic like Chainheart Machine...

 

[Shroud_of_Darkness]

Yeah, thats what I wanna find out too, 'cept I picked up A Predator's Portrait the other week...

... it rocks!

 

[DogVomit]

I really like it, I much prefer it to their other albums. The clean vocals are so good!

 

[MetalAges]

I agree that the new one rocks. They are branching out more on this album by mixing more of the clean vocals, which I can see turning off some of the hardcore fans of course, but not me!

I'll be re-stocking this album this week as well, sold out of the original stock!

the reason it sounds so good is cuz of Devin Townsend. He's a genius.

Bollocks!

 

[TheEmperor]

It rocks!!!! I bought it today finally and it's sooo great! I'm listening to it right now for the second time

 

[OzStorm]

I got the new one a week or so ago, first time i'd heard them was about a month before - totally blew me away.
I will be getting some of thier older stuff now

 

[TheEmperor]

i like "As We Speak" and "Soilworker's Song Of The Damned" the most, "Follow The Hollow" as well, these songs blew me away

 

[Nuclear Knight]

Someone burn me a Soilwork CD and send it to me, I've never heard them, and I just spent my CD money on Megadeth - Rude Awakening and Arch Enemy - Wages Of Sin.

oh yeah, Arch Enemy's Wages Of Sin is great, my girlfriend has it... but umm maybe I'm going to buy it as well. The Megadeth live album is very good too indeed, it surprised me

Except for the vocals. Dave Mustaine is a crap singer. They're still bad even AFTER getting the full studio treatment...

Sorry, but I believe this is their worst. Poor job, no way it can be compared to "Steelbath"or "Chainheart"

The clean vocals that are present on NBC are a lot more sparse on APP. It [APP] is a lot more set in it's Thrashy/Melodic Death roots!

Whereas NBC is a natural (if not quite drastic in some eyes) progression from this sound, with the clean vocals and melody guitar work being the driving force, rather than an aspect of their sound.
