Okay, I've managed to listen to the first disc a few times over the weekend, and it's pretty incredible. Not a single filler and consistent, yet some great variety within the tracks. The guitar work just fits, and some songs need the shred, other just a quick melody line and that's it. I'm really impressed that the guys just don't add guitar work to be self indulgent. They wrote the songs and gave them exactly what they needed, and Speed sounds insane.
Fuck, this is only the first disc, I haven't even heard the second disc yet. Great value for the price too. About time a band did a double album and not this release one album and then release one 4 months later so you pay double. Soilwork obviously don't take their fans for granted. Looking forward to getting into the second disc.
