Symphony X 2011 US tour

Hah hah, wow. I never expected to be in the minority on this one. Well, different strokes. I like APP and everything after that much more than Steelbath Suicide and Chainheart Machine, personally.

What did you guys think of The Panic Broadcast, then?
 
I like all of Soilwork's stuff, although NBC and APP are my two favorites. They definitely went less death metal after NBC and are more groove oriented and melodic IMO. I really like the new album though it's got some of the old school death metal roots but still retains the melodies more commonly found in their newer stuff.

This. Everyone has their owns tastes.

What did you guys think of The Panic Broadcast, then?
I didn't like it. I especially didn't like Speed's vocal approach. I didn't even recognize him on the first few songs. Figure Number Five seemed like NBC leftovers. And since FN5, it seems Soilwork has been trying, unsuccessfully, to find themselves.
