Melodic death metal giants Soilwork play up their most recognizable traits on The Ride Majestic, the successor to the acclaimed double album The Living Infinite. Unlike the average stalker, Bjorn "Speed" Strid and his fellow Soilworkers find themselves on familiar territory whilst never stumbling upon any roadblocks along the way. This results in a passionate, fresh-sounding creation that will be remembered for months and years to come. With amorous composition abilities, splendid guitar harmonies, and one hell of a vocal performance from this band's frontman, The Ride Majestic is definitely a rewarding listen; basically the whole effort is the shit. There's not really a single wasted moment, either.

Soilwork build off of the excellent 'The living infinite' to produce an absolutely staggering
album! The Ride Majestic perfectly blends the blistering pace we know they are capable of, with
some very intense melodies (Listen to 'The Phantom'). Plus Bjorn is on astounding from throughout.
Also, anyone who got the deluxe edition will be happy with the two, equally brilliant, bonus
tracks.

Never been huge on Soilwork or melodic death metal with vocals, and this kinda proves that point. Soilwork may have gotten their heads back in the game since The Panic Broadcast, but since then they haven't really progressed their style noticeably at all, so they're just basically just like a less dramatic Scar Symmetry. Still an enjoyable band, but the basic back-to-back harsh/clean/harsh/clean vocal styles and endless Gothenburg riffing just kinda get old after a while.

It lacked what made some of the other albums as memorable, so in that regard, I lowered the rating.

After listening to other 2015 releases, this is much much better.

Solid album much like the last, could have done with a little more variation though.

I started listening to these guys just before they released 'The Living Infinite', and soon after
became one of my favorites bands in general for a good year. I always come across their albums as
initially not liking it, but I'll have a part of a song stuck in my head, bringing me back. For
this album, this kept happening at pretty much, every song. Songs are very distinguishable,
dynamic and different, while maintaining the overall theme and vibes throughout. I appreciated the
risks they did, such as keeping the blast beat at the end of 'Enemies in Fidelity', which is
definitely one of the stronger songs. Other songs worth mentioning include 'The Ride Majestic',
'Shining Lights', and 'Death in General'.

Forget Natural Born Chaos. The Ride Majestic is now the high standard against which all past and future Soilwork albums will be measured.

Low 7 out of 10: I have to admit that I am a bit surprised that I did like this. Not that I don't like Soilwork, but I really didn't know where they could go after their 2013 double LP "The Living Infinite". They certainly went a good direction, even if it's not the absolute best LP.

Not much has changed since The Living Infinite, which isn't a bad thing by any means. Some really great songs here, but while I wouldn't describe any songs as "duds" there are some sections that feel like "Soilwork by committee". Bjorn Strid's vocals are top-notch though, as are the instrumentation and production.

Tops TLI, but definitely not a masterpiece. However, the album is absolutely... majestic (pun intended).
