A good record where the drums were programmed, but were excellent is Wisdom of Crowds. The Pineapple Thief's Bruce Soord wrote the album and had Katatonia's Jonas Renkse do vocals. I was about to praise the drummer until I realised they were programmed.

Hey guys, good to see some familiar faces still frequenting here! I remember chatting with DE4life, Krofius and A88 (I see you're still waving the anti-Bottled flag!) back before SOAPF was released. So I got the new record. To be honest I hated Siren Charm's upon release, but have since grown...

It's funny but I'm more of a fan of pop-infused rock or prog rock. Basically softer music in general. But I find Siren Charms to be just weaker song writing in general. I must say though I do enjoy When The World Explodes (mainly due to the emotional reaction it evokes, with the female vox and...

Listening to: Riverside

Damn this place has changed! I remember discussing the release of Sounds of A Playground Fading and Siren Charms with @DE4life and @krofius For the life of me I couldn't get in to Siren Charms. Really hate to sound so negative, but I haven't got high expectations for the next record.

I don't feel qualified to give a number rating for each song on the album yet, and not sure how much time I'm going to invest in giving it more listens (wow, never thought I'd say that about an IF album), but... When The World Explodes- the latter half of the song feels completely separate...

Opeth and In Flames tour sounds killer, even though I'm not sold on IF's live show of late (Y U NO PLAY A NEW DAWN???) Opeth on the other hand are in my top 5 bands at the moment, and Pale Communion is shaping up to be an amazing release. Stunning on stage too. Also have you heard...

Bang on the money there, Clay-Man, I agree totally. SOAPF feels so cohesive and like it has a flow (Anders himself mentioned this I think in the build up to it's release), it has slow songs and fast songs and nothing feels out of place. It has TWO outtros haha. It just seemed more guitar driven...

I agree with A88 and only4theweak187's posts. I feel like In Flames could do with genuine progression. They might feel that Siren Charms is a snapshot of where they are, but I don't feel they are very inspired. It's hardly the most catchy (Come Clarity), the most melodic (Clayman, Colony or...

Anybody got a link to Everything's Gone? It's the one song I'm yet to hear, and everyone on here seems to have heard it! Would be much appreciated! Curious to hear this "death metal" Black and White cover haha

Both? I can't get over how awful both the released songs are, especially Rusted Nail. I can totally see why somebody would say Rusted Nail sounds like 4 different songs pasted together. It's just a load of guitar parts assembled together with drums, random samples and Anders whining over the...

I seem to remember alot of the press giving rave reviews about STYE at the time! (Correct me if I'm wrong here). The main person who holds disdain toward the album is DE4life! We all have our own tastes and likes/dislikes. If you look on In Flames' Facebook page when they ask what your...

The new album cover was sort of what I was imagining when I said that I thought the title sounded like a concept album. I like the idea of some kind of theme revolving around the allure or song of a siren. I like albums that conjure up alot of imagery!

Nice to see all the old faces that were around when SOAPF was coming up to release! Krofius, our inside man! And various other trolls/old-school-IF fans/defensive new fans And already we have debates of Old IF VS New IF! Suprise suprise, same shit different year! 1. Siren Charms - sounds...

Like Metallica with the Black Album? Haha, man it's a good job Master of Puppets and a couple of other classics were on first... Anyway, In Flames. I'd like to see their latest record played in it's entirety, it just has alot of variety and flows really well as a whole. They play LOADS of...
