The thing I think about both this new record and Sounds, is that since Jesper's departure, the songwriting style has changed into a style that is a bit more freestyle in nature, and sometimes clashes in a way that doesn't sound as thought out, as though the song doesn't achieve the full picture...

I want to start this thread to ask - why does everyone dislike the rather recent sounds of In Flames? For me, the only gripe I have, is that really, In Flames have never been a band, in my opinion, that creates albums that are enjoyable as a whole - it really seems that filler tracks pop up...

I think what many people fail to realize is that Opeth, no matter what sound they do, have usually been about making sure that each album has its own trademarks, styles, tempos, genres, and songwriting methods. Still Life - Mixtures of gore-grind inspired gutterals, 80's power-ballad guitar...

After first listening to Construct for awhile, and then not, then coming back to again, I really have to review and say that I believe Dark Tranquillity are starting to sound a bit "cheap" - the contrast between the "singles"/"rather good ideas" is getting pretty far from some of the filler...

I wish the band would at least try to make an official statement, I think that's pretty unprofessional of a band that I've bought albums from and love. I thought Novembre were just reaching their prime with Novembrine Waltz, Materia, and The Blue... to be honest, they're one of my favorite...

I personally hope the new song, if it's a new song, to be very intense, chaotic, energetic, and downright horrific - all the things both Character and The Gallery were. Not to say that nu-metal Dark Tranquillity is bad, just I wish the chaotic, horrific elements that the band really pioneered...

I think it's funny how people are saying this sounds like "old" In Flames, just because it has a few acoustic-ish parts. My review of the album is this: Aside from a few very standout tracks, this album is very thin, shallow, and takes In Flames back a thousand steps in terms of being an...

I personally think that a "true" fan is a person who will always subjectively judge a release no matter if it's "brutal" or "In Flames" or not. A true In Flames fan would give an In Flames album a chance no matter if it was indeed a hip-hop album. A true fan wouldn't hear initial sounds and say...

Here's my two cents about the new Flames album: Personally, A Sense Of Purpose is my absolute favorite album by In Flames, I've followed the band for a very, very long time, yet for the majority of their later releases, I've felt they were a "great singles" band with a few other good songs on...

I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time, but it seems to me like DT invented a million things heard in all the new metalcore/deathcore bands out there. One big factor is the death screech growl thing. I can't find a single band before The Gallery came out to have vocals that...

I stand by the fact that this album is more straight-foward, not experimentive, if you've heard album like Projector and Fiction and know what experimentation actually is. It's not that I listen to DT only for experiments, I like straight-foward albums like Haven and Character too, but those...

And so with hearing the new DT album, I have to say that I don't think the fans will be as accepting to what this album's sound is like, I think many fans are expecting a lot of experimentation, chaos, emotion, hooks ect ect and I think the sound of this album could be described as something a...

Honestly, I think that saying In Flames never have filler is like saying Soilwork never has filler.

You know, I don't really see why everyone hates ASOP. I thought each and every song was great, something new to me (as I have never been able to enjoy a full In Flames album completely), and I felt like it was a very strong CD. I've always personally thought that In Flames was never good at...

I'm gonna be honest, I think a album really can be 'judged' on a couple listens, especially if someone really reviews music alot. With DT, there are many layers, but DT really is a band that has ALWAYS had catchy, prominent, recognizable hooks and I've always loved DT for that, they are way more...

I think the tour with Killswitch Engage is going to be nice, after all, bands like KsE and As I Lay Dying were really influenced by DT and In Flames and stuff, but The Devil Wears Prada?? Prada sounds a bit like The Gallery with a very sceney update, though, if you really listen to them. If...

I honestly kind of hope the whole album sounds a bit different than the new song. I don't want to say a bunch of bad things about it, just...idk, I guess I just hope this album definatly wont be one of those 'count all your eggs in one basket' type albums...but from DT surely it won't be.

I still think the title just doesn't fit....'The Void' or even just 'Void' for a unique take would have been great but....really, I just can't imagine DT using the phrase 'we are'. Sounds more like a In Flames title like 'Soundtrack to your escape'.

To be honest....wouldn't it be more of a DT thing to name this album just "The Void"?. We Are The Void sounds....sorta too earthly-connected to be DT. Sounds like any other band. I gotta say one thing thats always been really cool about DT is even just the album titles, they're always one word...

From the latter titles, I really could imagine a few of these tracks sounding somehow like The Gallery, just mega updated. Some really complex abstract picking, some of those acoustic interludes, and other stuff. At least I hope! Sounds to me like half of this album may be similiar to...
