Bands do change over time and do tend to go to the lighter side of music, but even though soilwork changed their sound as time went on they still kept some key points of their music, which I think keeps them up there. I have to say i didn't much like the last album just because of the massive metal core influence. But Bands that don't change don't experiment, and to me would be extremely closed minded individuals. I mean, look at Dimmu Borgir, they are awesome. but their sound has never changed, and they seem really boring now. after so many albums.

At the same time, Soilwork has become less about guitars and more about Speed's vocals. So maybe if the new members can keep the Soilwork sound, then the band's name will still be meaningful.

I've never been one of the "haters" that seem to want this band to regurgitate "Chainheart Machine" over and over. The last album didn't completely feel like true Soilwork though, and I think that maybe it's time to put the name to rest. "Sworn To A Great Divide" was by no means a horrible record, but it's growing evident that subsequent releases may only sully a legacy that the band still has intact. I guess, to me, once an act pretty much loses all its significant members it's time for the rest of the group to start recording under a different name because it's just not the same band. It's guest musicians copying an act that once was. And that gets kind of sad.
