I have a hard-on for In Flames right now (saw them in Edmonton, cause I missed the Calgary show), and that show was rocking.
In Flames would tear them apart.  |
Incidentally, they got their first big break opening for In Flames.
I saw Throwdown, Children Of Bodom, Fear Factory, and Lamb of God all on one card, then saw Soilwork the next day (in Toronto). Soilwork was far better. I'm also biased because I'm a huge Devin Townsend fan, and he produced Natural Born Chaos (my fav) and then the Vocals for Sworn to A Great Divide.
Also, every Soilwork album is quite different from the last, whereas I find with COB and newer In Flames that they repeat themselves a lot. Soundtrack to Your Escape, for example, had five songs in a row at one point that were all in the same key. That = boring very quickly.
