DE4life I saw a review you did of Colony earlier today.
I think anyone who thinks Colony is "too commercial" is legally brain dead.
Wut? Where?

It's like a puzzle with amazing pieces, but assembled in a wrong order. I don't hate anything on it, other than being absolutely not interested in the instrumental songs.So... You don't like colony. But why?
What is so good about his singing on Colony? On TJR but especially on Whoracle, his voice is a great addition to the music. Just listen how he goes through all kinds of speed on Jotun, or how great his growls are on Worlds Within The Margin! On Colony, he has one set of singing tempo combined with some talking and that's it.Anders is at his best on Colony imo. His growls/screams are the healthiest and best he ever sounded, whilst the cleans are sparse and sound good whenever they are thrown in. There isn't a song on Colony that I dislike, it's just a great heavy metal album.
Unfortunately for Anders whatever he was doing on Colony clearly wasn't good for his throat long term, as by Clayman/Reroute he sounds much weaker. It doesn't negatively affect either album imo, but it's noticeable how the power has drained from his voice, particularly on Clayman.

The chorus of Ordinary Story is one of the biggest offender for me. That's why I compared it to Gyroscope because I think the style and tempo of these songs are somewhat similar, but Gyroscope sounds soooooo much better on the vocal delivery part.
I like subterranean, the jester race, colony, absolutely love clayman, reroute to remain is good, come clarity could be better but it's ok (the album was first going to be named crawl through knives), and soapf is also a good song.Now that I think about it, every In Flames title track is slow and weak to me compared to the rest of its album.
That's the only way that they found to be the headliners...Was it mentioned on here that In Flames are doing their own festival?

Their twitter just announced Anthrax, Danko Jones and Graveyard. No idea who the latter two are.
