The more stripped down the better. The "beautifully synthesized As We Speak" - I always thought that was a great song, but the synthesizers annoyed me. In my opinion soilwork improved over the years, though I think the last album is a bit too 'emo'. If you hate poor lyrics (I totally agree with you...), listen to the song 'I close my eyes' of the band Pain. My own English isn't perfect, but this song really makes my skin crawl. Writing lyrics should be a form of art too. I know what you mean by watered down, but I like it. The more stripped down the better.
