What the hell is it with Soilwork anyways?

[Funeral Portrait]

So I finally listened to my friend's copy of Figure Number Five, and I must say it is by far one of the worst albums I have heard all year. What happened to them?? Steelbath Suicide, The Chainheart Machine, and Predators Portrait were all incredible efforts by Soilwork. Natural Born Chaos was borderline annoying, but overall OK. Then came Figure Number Five, and it is just aweful.

 

[Sóti]

thier pop metal , thier like *N Flames and Dimmu boregkh

 

[stefan86]

yeah FNF is sorta dissapointing.
I think 3 or 4 songs kicks ass, but the rest is just like 'meh'.
It also contains something as horrible as Light The Torch.

 

[Funeral Portrait]

thats fuckin bullshit. you cant honestly sit there and call them *POP* metal. seriously man, where in the hell do you see the fusion of pop...and metal? especially with Dimmu, thats ridiculous.

 

[stefan86]

yeah calling Dimmu pop metal is pretty stupid.
With In Flames i agree and with Soilwork to some extent.
But Dimmu dont go for catchiness what-so-ever with their material and should therefor not be called pop-metal just because many ppl like 'em.

 

[Sóti]

okay all call them an insult to black metal

 

[stefan86]

I call them a creative black metal band with no whatsoever intensions of 'selloutism'

 

[Yetti]

okay all call them an insult to black metal

no thats cradle of filth

 

[Sóti]

them too

 

[stefan86]

no thats cradle of filth

thank you sir for saying just what i wanted to say

 

[Funeral Portrait]

yea tindor..dude, whats with the bitterness towards them? how exactly do they insult your standard of black metal?

 

[Funeral Portrait]

@ CoF

 

[stefan86]

how exactly do they insult your standard of black metal?

I bet they arent grim and necro enough

 

[Funeral Portrait]

I bet they arent grim and necro enough

 

[stefan86]

the kid said tool sucks, so i would pretty much just ignore his ignorant statements from now on.

I think this 'going 3 on 1' argument technique is more fun than ignoring him
About Tool, way too many people say that Tool suck just because they dont take enough time to get into them

 

[Sóti]

check out Sigrblot , they are amazing, and
aurora borealis for blazing black metal

 

[stefan86]

i dont really think its that. i just think he or she or whatever it is cant see how good they are because theyre ignortant and they see tool being labed as "mainstream" and their closemindedness wont let them see the truth.

Yeah, might be there the problem lies.
All I know is that i'm obsessed with the Lateralus cd no matter how many Slipknot fans that listens to it

 

[Azogue]

The whole "grim" "tr00" and "necro" bullshit has to stop.

None of that is remotely funny, interesting or original anymore.

Even Avril Lavigne fans use those words now. "You just don't like her anymore cuz she's evolved, but you want her to be tr00 and n3cr0 again!1 Lolze!32"

Bah.

 

[stefan86]

Yup, i love having it as background music.
The general tempos of the songs are so nice, just perfect for sitting at the computer banging my head slightly.

 

[stefan86]

Yeah i gotta put 'em on now, so friggin awesome.
