I have their whole catalogue, and 2007's "Sworn to a Great Divide" is the best thing since Natural Born Chaos (the most perfect black-metal album ever, imo. Any track on that album could have been the title track. What an epic!).
Sworn to a Great Divide is NOT like Stabbing the Drama. Stabbing the Drama was like a celebration of all their different sounds from the first album through Figure Number Five. Sworn to a Great Divide is them kicking everything up a notch.
Incidentally, Devin produced all the vocals with Strid in Van while the rest of the band was in Sweden recording and then sending mp3s.

I agree with you that Natural Born Chaos is a good listen, however I would be hesitant to place Soilwork in the black metal genre.
A buddy of mine is a huge Soilwork fan and he loves the new cd as well.
