Album Rating: 3.5

^^ Most of them are just melodic death metal bands. Just type in Melodic Death Metal at wikipedia. Plus, Sentenced is freakin' awesome, though Insomnium remains to be the best band ever.



EDIT: you might also like Enslaved. It's a progressive metal band, that just like Opeth leans towards black metal (death metal in Opeth's case)



Oh, and check out Opeth also :PThis Message Edited On 10.11.07

A girl I used to date introduced me to this cd when it came out. Thank God she did. Something good had to come out of that.

Album Rating: 3.0

Meh, this is their best album, along with A Predators Portrait.

Album Rating: 3.5

APP is easily better than this, but this is still an excellent album. Follow the Hollow, Song of the Damned, The Flameout, Black Star Deceiver, all great songs. There really aren't any bad songs here, though The Bringer and Mercury Shadow aren't quite up to the other song's standards.

Album Rating: 3.0

The Bringer is extremely ctachy, one of my favs off here. Im still looking for APP in the stores.

Like all Soilwork albums, this was meh for me.

Album Rating: 3.5

Their earlier stuff was more similar to it, this one is more of what IF are doing now with Come Clarity and such.

I like the Instrumentals better on CC but the vocals i'm gonna have to go with this.

Nice review.



I especially like Follow the Hollow and Black Star Deceiver

Album Rating: 4.5

Definitely a classic. It gets a 5 and I am also anxious to see the direction this band takes now since both wichers and frenning are gone. The new album Sworn to a Great Divide is so so.



I have since downgraded to a 4.5This Message Edited On 08.02.08This Message Edited On 08.02.08

Totally want to get this album. No joke, I listened to As We Speak a good 10 times in a row :o

Album Rating: 5.0

YESSS. Natural Born Chaos is by far the best Soilwork album, and is my third favorite album of all-time. This album clearly marks the pinnacle of Soilwork's career. A Predator's Portrait hints at the greatness to come, and the albums that fallow NBC just seem to taper off into the distance. It's sad knowing Soilwork can never release an album as good as NBC again, but they have come close with Sworn To A Great Divide, which is better than FNF and STD.

Album Rating: 5.0

I agree there, Lethal, NBC is definitely their best work to date. The whole album flows effortlessly and the songs are all brilliantly structured. Fave tracks - As We Speak (love that intro/outro), The Flameout (reigning everyWHEEEERRRREEEE *goosebumps*) and No More Angels (THAT solo!)

I could have bought this cheap used and now I'm regretting it.

Album Rating: 4.5

This is definitely the last Soilwork album that was really good. What Devin Townsend provided this band was beyond comprehension. It's just too bad that after this album that they tried going in this route, and it just never sounded the same. Good melodies and songs.

Album Rating: 3.0

Tenfootbrett shouldn't be talking since the one review he did was rather biased itself...and Follow the Hollow is fuckin awesome.

Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

Somehow I can't just make myself listen to more than three songs in a row from this album after finishing The Chainheart Machine. This thing is just too inferior to that one.
