I think that they are all opinions and that you should not preach about how awesome a band is. Let people formulate their own opinions, it's how you evolve.

Really? When? I must have missed that part.megamich said:
MURAI: Don't like Obituary at all. As I said, those bands I listed before are pretty much the only metal bands I listen to. Generally, I prefer black metal over death metal.
Atrocious album, as we've discussed. At least with STYE it had elements, here and there, of the original style. SC sounds like a totally different band.

No idea, I honestly don't even remember making this thread, and I hardly ever make any so the ones I do make I usually remember. Pardon the weird syntax.

I'll comment in this zombie thread.
I liked Reroute to Remain at the time, and I ran a nostalgia listen a couple months back and found it mostly held up. I can see why some would really dislike the aesthetic of it, but a change in sound was definitely needed after the stale Clayman. I don't know of much else that sounds like it, which is not something I can say about the band's previous material.
Then Soundtrack To Your Escape came out, and I lost interest in anything else they were going to do after. It's funny how people didn't think that In Flames were selling out at the time, when they quite clearly and more blatantly than just about any other band are trying to broaden their appeal for each successive group of Hot Topic 13-year-olds.

I listened to some new (2014 that is) In Flames song on youtube and everything about it was sad / just plain bad. Generic core riffing, annoying chorus with screamo back vocals, a Vans cap on the singer's head, etc etc.
EDIT: The teenager nu-metal era songs like Only For The Weak are gold in comparison [however uncvlt, it's just true]. That era may be emo but at least it's somewhat fresh tbh.

Damage Case
Through Oblivion is just bad. I can understand everything, but hell, why Anders didn't run a side project to release that song. It's really cringe-worthy.

Ok, so I listened to that one too, and I consider it better than that one I listened to, which was called Rusted Nail. That song you're talking about is a regular rock song at least, without screamo backvocals and stupid toughguy shit.
EDIT: But long story short, it's just not a good band.
