I'm not all that fan and don't really enjoy their sound, but fuck me, "Long Live the Misanthrope" is one of the best songs I've ever heard from them and this year.

Anyone who would consider Soilwork a guilty pleasure needs to consider getting laid.

Perhaps it's because they secretly wanna fuck Bjorn.

Lol true! Though for some among us, that might not be so "secret"...

While I definitely don't consider Soilwork a guilty pleasure, I was totally star-struck when I met Bjorn in person at their recent show in Toronto. :p

Oh jolly fun, it's like listening to the same song over and over again for 20 times.

If there is one album released so far this year that deserves an "Album Of The Year" title, this is it.

Finaly they have returned with a better album !

New masterpiece! A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Started off so damn strong...what happened...

They should have cut out a few tracks from the end of disc 1, they simply weren't up to par with the rest of the material. On the plus side, I've always disliked Soilwork, but on this album they've really nailed groove and melody.

Personally they should've cut it down to 1 45 minute disk.

It simply drags on after a while. Soilwork don't have the ability for something of this scale.

My $0.02.

Yep, if they kept the solid tracks this could easily be a much better record. God DAMN these guys can write a sick chorus, don't care how predictable...

First time I've heard Soilwork, and I friggin love it

I've always been a Soilwork fan, maybe not the most faithful since I haven't listened to the albums released after Sworn To A great Divide, but this one. However, this disappoints me much less than the aforementioned STAGD. This is in no way comparable to Figure Number Five though (still my favourite, one of my favourite of all time actually - I have no idea why people prefer NBC, maybe because it was heavier). The problem is that they sound exactly like... themselves. Extremely predictable. It's impossible to listen to it all in one sitting, almost an hour and a half of average Soilwork is a torture.

This is actually very good bashing and melodies... i havent listened to anything else for the past couple of months or so...
very professional imo to be so good for so long impressive!

Indeed. Maybe that's why I don't really like this album. Although I must admit that the very last song makes my day.

Really enjoyed this! Absolutely fantastic melodeath.

Could be quite happy i it was indeed a good album. But it was not, not even close... Found some interesting parts in "This Momentary Bliss", "Long Live The Misanthrope" "loyal shadow" and "The Living Infinite II". Super hyped in MS without reason...

Without a doubt their best work!!

If this album was just:

01. Spectrum Of Eternity
02. This Momentary Bliss
03. Tongue
04. Long Live The Misanthrope
05. Drowning With Silence
06. Antidotes In Passing
07. Leech
08. The Living Infinite II
09. Loyal Shadow
10. Rise Above The Sentiment

It would be a 9.3/10 IMO. As a double album, it is an 8.7/10 for me.
