Theve become popular, the swines! How dare people enjoy their music! Dont they know that music is only for elistists and that any band who play to an audience of more than 200 are clearly no better than common whores!

You only have to let us know your opinion once, Ghetto. No one even argued with what you actually said.
Soilwork went suddenly crap about five or so years ago. REALLY crap. I don't understand why, but in my circles they're now a lot less popular. Probably selling more records or something... I could care less though.

The vast, vast majority of bands never make a better album than their first.
"It is my personal belief that hardship begets great art; just look at how many bands’ first albums are their best, made before they’re subjected to the enormous, self-congratulatory, corporate circle-jerk that is the music industry. There are, of course, notable exceptions, but these only serve to prove the rule."
That's an extract from an article I wrote that touches on the subject.
Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone's got one and they all stink.
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. I have the 2 LP set of "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris," the 60's version, and it's some of the most brutally honest songs I've ever heard.
If you like those two, you should check out Leonard Cohen.

I tend to disagree in my experience the majority of debut albums normally have sloppy production values and musicianship with the bands being a slave to their influences rather than a self sustaining creative force. Lots of bands tend to find their stride with roundabout their 3rd album. Im sure I can thibnk of plenty of examples but I can't be bothered to go through my music collection right now.
It also never had much time for the idea of poverty equaling great art, but I really don't like overly political art/music anyway as its usually just cliche riddled and ill-informed (Yes I'm looking at you RATM!).
"And if we've learnt anything over the past 1000 mile retreat it's that Russian agriculture is in dire need of mechanisation!"
I know most people don't like them, but I'd argue that Oasis' 'What's the Story (Morning Glory)' album is superior to both 'Definitely Maybe' and anything they've done since.
Oh and Park Life is the best Blur album and that's their 3rd or 4th.
And Led Zeppelin III is better than Led Zeppelin II simply because of the pure awesomeness that is
And you know I'm right. Don't give me any of that overplayed Stairway crap
I dunno, I think you'll find that all Oasis albums are, shockingly, equally pish.
Perhaps it's Liam and his whiney vocals, or Noel desperately plundering the vaults in search of, ahem, inspiration (Listen to Cigarettes and Alcohol....then go listen to Bang A Gong by T-Rex. Absolutely identical.
And did you know, their latest album 'Dig Out Your Soul' had a late in the day name change? It was originally meant to be named 'Dig out your Soul albums our Kid. We've finished the Beatles back catalogue so we need something else to rip off'
