In Flames a good band

[Mentok]

From what I heard of Slaughter of the Soul I liked it. Not as much as With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness though.

 

[Zephyrus]

I liked SoTS for a little while, but it got old real quick and I ended up selling it.

 

[Mentok]

Glad I got DSO - Fas instead of that the other day at the record store then.

 

[Zephyrus]

Pretty much polar opposites in terms of accessibility. Fas will stay fresh for years.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Why does EVERYONE hate SoTS?

I loved it...

It's catchy but has very little lasting value as every song pretty much follows the same formula. I think it was somewhat of a commercial attempt.

Indeed.

It is a good listen from time to time, but has little replay value in the long run. Of course, I still haven't really gotten into their older material much, but with my current whoring of Swedish DM, that will probably change.

The Red in the Sky is Ours is a damn good album.

 

[waif]

since when did I say I hated In Flames?

shit, shit and more shit.

Same here...I like it more than their other stuff...

Indeed.
The Red in the Sky is Ours is a damn good album.

Never understood what was so fucking great about that album. I like it, but I don't think it's as good as anything else they did.

I think whether At the Gates is "better" or not is purely a matter of opinion. Personally, I don't think they're better than In Flames.

[ohiogrinder]

you seem to forget I was only referring to the new album. Old In Flames is ok.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Well, I DLed their stuff & I don't like Slaughter of the Soul very much. It's too primitive & not very deep, at least by it's first impression. The Red in the Sky is Ours seems much better, however. I'm still completely new to them though, so my opinion is still shaky.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

This thread has caused me uproarus laughter. I'm absolutley speechless.

The punchline that says itself.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

You're very weird & you seem to dwell on your own viewpoints way too fucking much. People like this band, so what?

My opinion of you just moved up a notch.

Slaughter of the Soul more primitive than TRITSIO???

 

[Never78]

He means that it is rather simple; which it is. Everything changed when Alf left the band.

The fact is that SotS is okay for what it is; but it is in no way in the same ballpark as the Svensson albums. That man was a counterpoint genius.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I dig the violins on TRitSiO quite a bit.

your an idiot, and since I dont not want to see you and your idiotic posts anymore, I am going to make use of this Ignore feature.

 

[S.U.A.D.]

I generally don't care for them, but they have their moments....the older stuff (prior to Reroute)was cool.

 

[Ben Grimm]

i've not heard the old stuff but I really enjoy Reoute, Soundtrack, and Come clarity. I heard there is a big difference between those albums and the older stuff

Their newer stuff is more whiny, emo sounding (I think). Personally, I think their height ended after Clayman. My favorite song by them is "Only For the Weak."

 

[Ender Rises]

I agree with the emo sound. Their music and vocals are pretty good, but I can't get past the emo sounding lyrics.

 

[waif]

Clayman was the last genuinely good album. Come Clarity and STYE both have their moments, but as albums kinda suck. The lyrics are alright, in my opinion. They definitely aren't "emo," with the exception of maybe Take This Life. Which is a good song, imo.

The lyrics up to Clayman are mostly metaphysical. They used to have really good lyrics.
