Super clean, sounding pressing

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023

It’s about time this one got pressed on vinyl. Whatever era of the band you are a fan of, it’s hard to argue that this is not the bands greatest work. The vinyl itself is a super clean and good sounding play. I was skeptical buying off Amazon as I had ordered three Opeth vinyls earlier in the year and they all came damaged due to poor packaging. Amazon took the return. Anyway, I ordered two of these, one used from Amazon and the one new. The new one came packaged securely in a quality LP mailer. The used one was in as good a shape as it would’ve been new, so I am very happy with this purchase.

This is a review of the Vinyl LP. Showed up packaged properly and safely. Very nice to look at cloudy white vinyl, played free of any static or skips, LP was in perfect shape. This album is classic melodic death metal with some metal-core influence. Lots of fun guitar riffs and vocal changes from harsh to clean. If you love soilwork and similar bands like In Flames, you will love this album.

The album that began the alienation of old-school Soilwork fans, and brought in a legion of new ones

Melodic Death Metal purists who swear by Slaughter of the Soul, The Gallery, and The Jester Race will tell you that this was the album that sank Soilwork into murky depths they will never again arise from. They will tell you it's the album where they got "soft." From my own standpoint, those people are very, very wrong - to an extent. There is no denying Soilwork put more emphasis on "melody" than "death metal" with this album, as the aggressive riffing and screamed vocals are combined with melodic and clean, sing-along choruses throughout the course of the album.

But to say they got "soft" as a result of this is a very relative term; their intensity is as present on album opener "Follow the Hollow" as it is on a track like "Sadistic Lullaby" from Steel Bath Suicide, even with cleanly sung sections ever present. This blistering intensity combined with the keen sense of melody is also brought to the forefront of the album's sound on "The Flameout," "Mindfields," and - my personal favorite - "Black Star Deceiver." The latter of these tracks features guest vocals from none other than Mr. Devin Townsend (who was the lead producer of the album), giving something of a call-and-response nature to the verses.

Things do slow down and tend to lean more towards the U.S. mainstream metal sound - nü-metal, alternative metal, melodic metalcore, what have you - on the rest of the tracks. A somewhat more subtle groove and fist-pumping nature is heard on "As We Speak," the title track, "The Bringer," "Mercury Shadow," and "No More Angels." The same could also be said of album closer "Song of the Damned," but I feel that not only does it give the album a tremendous sense of unresolve by coming in at the end, it also bridges the gap between the two styles - a very melodic and subtle groove for the intro, verses, and chorus combined with a bridge that ups the ante a little bit and also brings back some vocal help from Devin (BLEEDING, ACHING, BLEEDING, ACHING).

The music on this album, to me, shows Soilwork deciding to branch out of their Gothenburg influenced bubble and try something a little new while still staying true to form. I'll admit that Figure Number Five, their followup, may be my least favorite thing they put out because they got a bit too caught up in the slicker elements of this album. But Natural Born Chaos is an album which easily ranks among their best work. They took a risk and for me, as a listener for musicality rather than just metal-ness, it paid big dividends.

Vinyl is awesome...poster is sick! NBC is an excellent album and this pressing is quiet, no noise, and brings the goods. Love it!

Although it might be a little too melodic for some Soilwork fans, this is an awesome album. I've had this CD for a few months now and I still find myself listening to it on an almost daily basis.

By far, the best tracks are Follow the Hollow, The Flameout, The Bringer, and The Soilworker's Song of the Damned. Each of these features exquisite instrumentation and fantastic song-writing; even the singer's vocals add something special to the song (opposed to just being vocals).

If you are a fan of this kind of music, buy this CD. If you aren't, buy it anyway and give it a try. There are so many different styles present in the songs that you'd be hard pressed to not find something you like.

At the time this seemed to be Soilwork mellowing down with alot more clean vocals.. compared to the death they started out with on Steelbath Suicide ... i loved it when it was released and is my fave Soilwork album.. nuclear blast has done a great job!!! Highly recommended! Classic.. even Devin Townsend is behind the making of the album!!! Grab it!

Fantastic fourth album by the Gothenburg melodic death metallers! While having a very slight change in musical direction from A Predators Portrait, The Chainheart Machine and Steelbath Suicide, Natural Born Chaos continues the bands evolution.
Super catchy chorus melodies and soaring guitars give way to the bombastic drums and razor sharp guitar riffs. I ordered the white vinyl and was surprised when upon opening it was white with slight black marbleling (even the hype sticker said white). This vinyl is 140g and sounds impeccable. A must have for Soilwork fans.

Diese Rezension bezieht sich weniger auf den Inhalt der Disk sondern viel mehr auf den Zustand.
Das Album habe ich eigentlich nur nachgekauft, da die von mir bisher verwendete CD nach einigen Jahren jetzt doch ein paar Gebrauchsspuren aufweist.
Umso mehr habe ich mich daher geärgert als ich feststellen musste,
dass das !eingeschweißte! Album (ob Original kann ich nicht beurteilen) bereits Kratzer auf der CD hat (s. A.).
Da hätte ich auch eine 50% günstigere gebrauchte Version bestellen können!
