Have In Flames Thrown Away The Title...

[BeyondtheUnholyGrave]

Skydancer

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Skydancer

the gallery and damage done

Well? Which one?!?!

 

[stefan86]

What would be a good CD to pick up from them?

Start with The Gallery.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Gallery and Skydancer are not as easy to get into as, say, the Mind's I.. unless you can get into the older style easily I'd start with the Mind's I.. it is a perfect mix of the older and newer styles

To me, the band that would most likely take this title is probably Gardenian (making a comeback---but with death vox or not?).

Some news from the official Gardenian web site http://www.gardenian.net :

Mixing! - den 12 maj 2003 at 17:52The new material is now more or less recorded.
Mixing of the new tracks is in full progress and will hopefully be done in the near future. When the mixing is done GARDENIAN will start shopping for a new record deal. For you who wonder about growls... The for GARDENIAN characteristic mixture of growls & clean vocals wont be missed by anyone.

No. You must start with the "Enter Suicidal Angels" EP. In particular, check out the last track on that EP, "Archetype", which truly showcases what D.T.´s music is all about.

Archetype is the ultimate headbang tune

 

[JesteR-7]

Start with HAVEN! Their best album!

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

L O L ! ! !

THE GALLERY AND THE DAMAGE DONE, eh? I guess that's the way to do it...

Can somebody list all of their albums and describe their sound...melodic? Brutal? Bombastic? Haunting? Happy? Silly?

 

[JesteR-7]

Thats exactly where In Flames are heading.
In Sweden they are now one of the "hip cool metal groups" since they released a comprimised album with shitty distortion.

That's really really bad! Just listen Watch Them Feed.

That mixed vocals. Aghh!! I hate that sound!!!

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

What's wrong with them being 'hip' and 'cool?'

I think they are hip and cool! And good!

 

[JesteR-7]

They're listed in the same list as Linkin Park and similar shit.

I can describe shortly how the albums sound (im skippin skydancer since im not into that one a 100%):
THE GALLERY: The cd that "made" their sound and their most popular cd. Its very fast and has very emotional vocals, some mellow acoustics at some places.
MINDS I: A bit less technical and slower than The Gallery, no major changes.
PROJECTOR: Their mellowest album with clean vocals and a lot of emotional parts.
HAVEN: Very keyboard layered with a lot of atmosphere, their slowest release to date and the opposite to The Gallery.
DAMAGE DONE: A mix between old DT and Haven.
It is very aggressive and catchy with a lot of keyboards.

 

[JesteR-7]

I love the new DT style. The old one is also great.

 

[stefan86]

looks like someone is trying to make up for something

What have i done now?

I think Dark Tranquillity took the title with Damage Done. In Flames held it during the TJR/Whoracle era, although both bands were excellent, In Flames achieved more recognition. Colony and Projector were both much lower than the bands previous albums. Clayman was better than Haven, and at this point I thought DT would not be as good as they ad been. Damage Done was much better than Reroute to Remain, and that is when DT took the title from In Flames. Here's a quick look at the other bands:

Dimension Zero - Not realy active enough, but 'This is Hell' should be excellent.
Arch Enemy - A great band, but haven't been above The Jester Race and Whoracle back then, and ow Wages of Sin isn't as good as Damage Done.
Soilwork - They suck, that's it.

 

[C-Taylor]

In Flames where te first swedish band I heard off, then Arch Enemy... My mate told me about D.T by closong his eyes and clicking a random band on a website

 

[HeadCrusher]

Soilwork is doing the same thing In Flames has done!

No they don't! In Flames rule live (best live band I've ever seen) and Soilwork suck!! Playing live is really important and if you can't do it you loose!
