In Flames in San Francisco

Retarded Penguin - Anders first album writing lyrics completely was Clayman. On Colony, I believe he wrote the lyrics in Swedish, and Niklas Sundin translated them. It's the same deal for Whoracle and possibly The Jester Race, but I don't know for certain. That would explain the drastic change in lyrical themes from Clayman until now.

i knew i remembered reading some hockey name on W and TJR--lidstrom or sundin--getting lots of cred. i read the lyrics and came out amazed and damn near worshipping anders... read some clayman and r2r and then entered a long state of confusion.
 
I would've taken a nice long shit during this part of the show -

take this life
leeches
crawl through knives
dial 595 escape
touch of red
drifter
the quiet place
my sweet shadow

It's too bad IF pretty much abandons TJR. I saw them live 3 times, twice during Clayman and once during RTR and Moonshield was the only TJR song they played.
 
It's really sad how great bands like In Flames can sell out and turn into shit like they did. You see it from many bands. Whoracle and everything before where masterpieces, everything after was crap. Atleast to me.
