Slaughter of the Soul is really good album, and imo is the straightening up of their earlier, sloppier work. Not to say that their earlier albums are bad, I think they are very good, but they weren't as direct as Slaughter of the Soul.
Blinded by Fear is one of my favourite tracks, and it saddens me to see generic hardcore bands ripping off it's riffs (I Killed the Prom Queen). Boo to them.

I spend a lot of time making fun of this. I'm sure a lot of people wonder why. Here's a brief quote taken from another site that almost completely captures my opinion:
It has not fallen to the depths of later Carcass or new Metallica, but it has dropped the progressive stylings in favor of very typical speed metal done with a slight technical flair but mostly, through its rough permutations and basic sense of pentatonic harmonics, it remains dressed-up heavy metal as a sad coda to the career of the Gothenburg band. The same self-unravelling harmonizing riffs, liquid solos and strong sense of color of sound are here, but each has gone through a sanitizing process to be brought closer to mainstream music, demonstrating that what is technique is far from what constitutes the artistic content of each song. For most At the Gates listeners, they will believe this album is their favorite until they hear it ten years from now in the context of other At the Gates works, in which case they will see this as a transparent commercial album made to pander to the middle of the metal audience.

I see that list rekindled the loathing you feel for all the hype this album gets, Cocaine.

No, that's shitty watered down garbage like this album. Not all melodeath has to be some douche bag playing a harmonized lead over a pathetically fast and bland drum beat.

Yeah, certianly along the lines of later Metallica, huh, Masscows?

The Metallica reference in that quote is to the mass commercialization and watering down of their sound.

What I meant was that Gothenburg (not melodic death in general) has, at least to my knowledge, become very watered down and commercial (In Flames, Soilwork, etc are all very commercial and watered down, at least in recent years).

Soilwork has always been watered down/shitty. In Flames has always been average.

Yeah, in correspondence with At the Gates and the rest of the Gothenburg crew.
