Ah. I asked it as a rhetorical question. Oh well, to each their own. My review and impressions of the music was strictly in regards to the album: if I ever did an Artist Spotlight or something on Soilwork...trust me I'm not a fanboy (nor am I into most modern melodeath), lol!
Still, I'd say its to your benefit to give
The Living Infinite a fair shot: its not a bad album by any stretch of the imagination. Due to how much ground it covers I'd even say it might be the band's best record overall, since this is the first time where I've actually heard Strid really stretch both his harsh and clean vocals to the benefit of the songs. You may still feel bored to tears by the majority of Soilwork's output, but I think you'd find at least a couple of songs that hit you in a good place.
I enjoy
In Flames too by the way: I just hope their next album is better than
Sounds Of A Playground Fading.
