What was his member name?

The likeness is uncanny. Still the crack detective, Gums.

Good to see |ng and Salamhurhaaja still around!

Almost 10 years since I made this thread... Haha.

You realize that STYE sounds nothing like any of those bands, right?

That's true, but they have generally signified new phases in the songwriting (whether intentional or not). My point was that they simplified the logo as (perhaps) a new attempt at marketing the band. I think it's hard to dispute that they tried to be more marketable with R2R (the whole dressing...

I agree. I rank it way above R2R, but I think CC is a better album. I thought STYE was a nice, focused album with some catchy hooks, cool riffs, and better thought-out choruses than on R2R. I think they took what they did on STYE and perfected the formula on CC.

Wish they would have just kept as the end track. DMLE is probably one of the best songs on STYE, hands down; though, it's verse riff sounds a lot like Borders and Shading, the rest of the song is great.

It might be interesting to point out that this speaks to the crowd that In Flames attracted with their material after Clayman. I think if you took a band like Dark Tranquillity, you'll find that fans who entered post-Damage Done are much more familiar with their back catalog, whereas In Flames...

Totally agree about The Attic. I like it in the same way I like The Chosen Pessimist: it creates a nice, dark picture with the atmosphere and the lyircs. I don't view at as filler at all. The only song I could potential skip on a play-through is "Jester's Door", which I actually really enjoy but...

No :(

ZoMG! DOn't br1ng up bo11led! Doncha no its teh ghey!?

That's not terribly surprising. Really, old school In Flames fans are a minority and most of their fan base consists of post-Clayman inductees. We're a over a decade past their last non-controversial album (Colony), and old fans have been jumping ship ever since then. Similarly, their fan base...

Totally agree.

LOL. I just went to go play Bottled on my iTunes library and realized I had deleted it so that "Discover Me Like Emptiness" would be the closer instead. I knew I hated that song, but damn...
