4.0 excellent | metalspirit | June 28th 12 | Usually I just ignore the death metal scene. But there are a few gems in the melodic death metal scene. In Flames is one of them, and this band is another one. Terrific band, Nerve is definately the best song on the album. Absolute gem of an album.

3.5 great | Progmaster85 | October 28th 09 | Stabbing the Drama is a unique album, and Soilwork is one the better bands in Melodic Death metal. They have some really catchy stuff on here, and they have some excellent riffs.

0.0 | Blurry | August 18th 07 | 'Stabbing the Drama' is a curious release from Soilwork. The first impression given is that the band have gone backwards, becoming more generic and overly reliant on familiar songwriting formulas. However, further inspection reveals that the songwriting is actually more varied than ever before, even if the songs generally possess a very similar structure. Of note is the return of the classic melodeath beat on 'Stalemate' and 'Blind Eye Halo' which gives the listener a kick in the pants at appropriate intervals. The guitarwork is rather hit and miss, with the solos being quite strong, but the riffwork is probably the least inspired Soilwork has ever been. Making up for this is the phenomenal vocal performance from Strid. Stunningly, the guy has continued to get better and turns in possibly the best vocal performance in hard rock/metal since the turn of the milennium. This mixed bag of an album generally makes enough gains to make up for the losses, but it's Jekyll and Hyde nature means that Soilwork's next album will be an important one in terms of keeping the fanbase interested.

1.5 very poor | FlurpSensei | August 15th 15 | Nope. Probably slightly better than STAGD, but damn, this album has hardly any memorable moments.
