Soilwork - The Panic Broadcast

[Hanso]

Hi, has anyone else listened to this album? The last soilwork cd I liked of was figure number five, I lost interest in the band after that but I am loving the new cd.

I'm also looking forward to seeing them live again later this year

 

[Southy]

I have never really paid too much to the band at all, I only have natural born chaos and FN5, beyond that have never really investigated them, but all the chatter about this album makes me think I should get it

 

[Stonewall]

yeah, given it plenty of spins, I quite like it, although the first song grates on me a little. Of the last five albums at the moment I would probably say Stabbing the Drama is my favourite, but ask any other day I might say something else.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Figure Number Five is easily my fav of theirs, but Stabbing The Drama is probably a good second. Great band.

I have had the new one in my car for a few spins and it is quite enjoyable. Glad I got the digipack as the bonus track is a great song.

They are touring in Oct, pretty sure I will hit it up.

 

[Spiff]

I've only heard Figure Number Five and Natural Born Chaos, love both of them. No idea why I never checked out any of their other stuff.

 

[Goreripper]

I prefer the stuff before Figure Number Five. Stabbing and Sworn weren't very good IMO.

 

[Shadow298]

they've never really impressed me

especially since they seemed caught in the downward spiral on the once good In Flames

 

[Stonewall]

I prefer the stuff before Figure Number Five. Stabbing and Sworn weren't very good IMO.

I find that interesting, I started listening to Soilwork with NBC, FNF and STD all at once, and never really noticed much difference in style and certainly not in consistency. Sworn I find a little bit different and Panic even more again...

I've been meaning to explore pre-NBC for a while now.

 

[Goreripper]

I just found the post-NBC albums to be less riff-oriented and more geared toward Speed's vocal melodies. Not a bad thing in itself, but I just didn't dig it as much.

 

[Stonewall]

Ahh, yeah, I can see that.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

NBC is when Hevy Devy started producing vocals and yeah, is when the clean choruses became the focal point of the songs. I prefer it that way, I think pre NBC they were just another Melo-Death band, but on NBC, FNF and STD in particular they offer something more original with stronger songwriting. Well, it was original at the time anyway, I think the metalcore genre has kinda raped that style quite a bit since then, but Soilwork did it first and they did it the best.

 

[Hanso]

I'm still loving this album. For me Peter Wichers was what was missing from the last 2 albums. I realise they aren't a huge band but it's still a nice surprise that tickets to their shows are $50.

The setlist looks awesome!!

10.Two Lives Worth of Reckoning

13.Drum Solo
14.Rejection Role
15.Bastard Chain
16.Follow The Hollow
Encore:
17.Natural Born Chaos
18.Stabbing The Drama

 

[Stonewall]

that's def a great set...

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Tis good. A couple of awesome songs missing that I would like to see, but would still satisfy.

 

[Winmar]

I've not listened to them a lot since they changed styles, but saw them at the HiFi a few years ago. Their first two albums are my favourites, but I should really check out their latest sometime.

 

[Goreripper]

New album rips! Nice setlist except for no "Needlebeast".
