Title: Well it's not a COMPLETE trainwreck...
Review: I think Soilwork reached their peak with Natural Born Chaos. Figure Number Five showed us Soilwork reaching for a commercial direction, and Stabbing the Drama is the final execution of that idea.I want so bad to like this album, but I could only recoil in horror as "Fate in Motion" played through and I came to the realization that it sounded like a Korn song. I don't even mean "one riff sounded Kornish" or "this chorus sounds Korn-like", but the SONG AS A WHOLE.There are moments of their past glory scattered about an album which is, as a whole, mostly commercial nu-metal pop trash. As an example, while I like chocolate, I don't especially like feces with chocolate chunks mixed in.A tolerable album, but mediocre and a slap in the face to their previous work. Melodic death metal fans should buy Dark Tranquillity - Character or Insomnium - Since The Day It All Came Down instead.
