People really think disc 2 sux?? I know, it's MY opinion, but I think it has the best mix of DT-sounding music and melodies that they have ever done. It's stuff like the middle 6 or 7 minutes of TGP, the admittedly Pantera-influenced section, that ruins an otherwise kick-*ss song. I rank Blind Faith up there as one of their all-time top 5 songs (it has everything DT-like in it). The rest of the disc is b-side quality, IMO. I think they finally got it right with the Goodnight Kiss/Solitary Shell section (I never liked stuff like The Silent ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2002 19:33:42 -0400 From: "Scott (Virtuality)" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: SOILWORK Message-ID: I agree. I am pretty well impressed with Soilwork. Great Production, the musicianship is inspired, the overall packaging is professional, and the keyboard work combined with the heavosity (to coin a term?) creates an interestingly diverse and intense vibe (I kinda work within those musicial 'constraints' myself).

I seriously believe that disc one is close to their worst stuff ever, and that disc two is possibly their best work. To date that is. I am very glad that they are on different discs, otherwise some of the songs from disc one could really ruin 6DOIT.

I concur - I find disc 1 to be incredibly weak, yet disc 2 is great - almost as they had been recorded by two different bands. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2002 07:32:27 -0400 From: "Rob P" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: best of 02 so far Message-ID: My entries (always different from most folks, not in any order): 1.
