5.0 out of 5 stars The First Must Have of 2004, March 24, 2004

I was a big fan of Scars. It is more or less straight out rock and roll, well written riffs with catchy choruses. With ReDefine, Soil has grown musically in many ways.

Somehow, this album is both heavier and more melodic than Scars was. You can tell the BLS influence here. Songs like "Can You Heal Me" and "Obsession" really showcase what I'm talking about. They are melodic, but really heavy at the same time.

Soil also developed tempo changes that weren't present on Scars. Their timing on certain songs just makes them that much more powerful. Cross My Heart showcases this.

As with Scars, it kicks off with the fist-pounding anthem...in this case, Pride. This is the one that is gonna get you goin really quick...perfect opening track.

The other thing you will notice is the harmony of vocals. Adam did do some vocals on Scars (most notably My Own), but here they take harmony, and it sounds really excellent as he and Ryan's voices are very complimentary of each other.

If you liked Scars, you'll love ReDefine. If you hated Scars, you'll still probably find something to like about ReDefine. If only every band would grow the way Soil did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Redefine, January 8, 2005

Soil hasn't redefined anything on their follow-up to 2001's Scars, but they didn't need to either. Scars was quite an enjoyable slab of hard and heavy anthemic rock, and Redefine does nothing more than tighten the pace and focus. Right out the gate, Soil belts out some of the best songs of their career thus far, with Pride, Remember, and Cross My Heart of considerable note. The band starts to lose their touch near the end with filler tracks like Something Real and Say You Will, but the drop in quality is mercifully short as the band kicks back into high gear for the closing tracks. Although music lovers expecting a more varied listen might be a little disappointed, those in the mood for a powerful guitar assault will find all they are looking for in Soil's Redefine.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good metal album, May 8, 2004

The first song I heard from REDEFINE was PRIDE, it is on the Madden 2004 soundtrack. That song rocks, so when I had the chance, I went out and bought the CD. I can say that I am totally pleased with my choice. This Cd just rocks, and unlike alot of bands, SOIL doesnt seem to be doing what is popular. The music is hard and the lyrics are good and this album should do real well. My favorite songs from the cd are PRIDE, CROSS MY HEART, SAY YOU WILL, REMEMBER and SUFFERING. If you are a fan of metal or hard rock, then I suggest that you add this disc to your collection. I dont think you will be disappointed.
