    Soil - True Self

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 28, 2006

    Pros: good music

    Cons: not a great voice

    Soil used to be a kickass band that i would be able to crank and piss of the neighbors with. the music is still there and kickin, but the new guys voice takes alot of it away and makes it almost unbearable. not their best album, but if you like soil,... youll be somewhat satisfied. i would download and not buy.

    "True Self" Much Like Drowning Pool's Debut

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 20, 2006

    Pros: "Fight for Life", "Give It Up", "Pick Me Up", "True Self", "Forever Dead", "Let Go"

    Cons: "The Last Chance", "Hear Me", "Jaded"

    If the sound is any indication, Soil's much anticipated new release, "True Self", sounds more like the band is trying to be true to Drowning Pool's fans then themselves or their fans. The addition of new vocalist A.J. Cavalier does ...littel to change the band's sound or attitude. While it doeshave quite a few highpoints, this new album does have some lowpoints, too. If a person were to listen to this without knowing it was Soil, they would honestly think it was Drowning Pool (Dave Williams era DP), because they sound that much like them on this record. It has all the predictablehooks and choruses in most of the songs. But if listened to enough, Soil's new album will "take root" with some old fans, and help new fans to grown with the band.

Pro Reviews: True Self

  • All Music Guide

    Soil's third fulllength album finds the Chicagobased heavies with a new lead singer. Newcomer A.J. Cavalier longtime vocalist Ryan McCombs joined Drowning Pool in 2004 can ape Alice in Chains' Layne Staley as well as his predecessor, but he reaches deeper and growls heavier, breaking free from much of the postgrunge whining that plagued earlier recordings. It only takes a few seconds into leadoff track "Fight for Life" to get that True Self is a rock heading toward an awfully big glass window. From the blistering "Give It Up" to the dark, "Unforgiven"era Metallicaesque closer "One Last Song," Soil fall victim to the simplistic selfloathing that plagued the grunge era only in lyric, and it's the tight, melodic, and more often than not brutal firestorm behind those words that sends that rock clear through the other side of the building.
