I don't know why, but I highly doubt it .

(I'm not a fan of In Flames btw)

Hope so... no "happy-happy-joy-joy" stuff, please!

I think that third song On RtR, Drifter, is as good as In Flames gets. That is one bad ass song. I'm sorta on the fence about this whole album, though. The choruses (sic) aren't good as was pointed out. Sort of, 'come-together, anthemic, gospel...'

Dispense with the pleasantries and get to the hard shit.:Smokedev:

 

[JesterOfDeath]

I liked R2R and i anxiously await more from these guys!!!

 

[The Omnipotent Bob]

I'll DL it, but much like soilwork, I've given up on these guys. I'll stick w/ dimension zero instead.

 

[aztattooedsean]

if it is like reroute to remain, they won't get my cash. I don't enjoy N'flames, I prefer the old in flames

I'm pretty sick and tired of bands saying their new material will be harder than ever when it's plainly obvious they aren't gonna go back to their more traditional metal roots. It's great if they can do their own thing and it comes out cool and heavy-sounding, but, uh, lets face it... R2R wasn't very heavy...

EDIT: Actually I'm getting the album right now, before I only herad two songs (R2R and Cloud Connected). So I shouldn't say it isn't heavy yet.

 

[Stun]

Okay, two songs left to listen to... I'll I have to say is: I hate Anders with a passion. What has happened to the solos? And what's with this pitiful excuse for clean singing? <shudder> In Flames is dead...

EDIT: 14 songs of conscious stupidity, wtf... there ain't one solo on the cd (except for Transparent, the song with the worst chorus of them all).

I hope on their next effort they bring back solos and Anders gets his fucking act together.

 

[Chuut-Riit]

Sounds good..I just hope, they will bring back more of these guitar solos....

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

hmmm....we'll just have to wait and seeeee, i hope it kicks ass! i hope it's as good as colony or better!!! i hope it's not as disappointing as RtR........."happy happy joy joy" will just have to wait til i can preview the cd at FYE....maybe

Yah right! It will be trendy. They'll probably be touring with Metallica soon enough. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but I'm too good for it.

Funny, I've completely forgotten about In Flames since their board disappeared, until you reminded me of them. I have so totally lost all interest in them. Totally! Dude!

 

[Morfiend]

Minus has a few solos in it as well and is definitely my favorite track off the album. I thought R2R was allright but the lack of solos (with electronic stuff inserted where the solos would be) and Anders's pretty horrid clean vox at times really brought the quality down. Anyway, they're still one of my favorite bands and they always put on a good live show.

 

[Testament Legions]

Yikes... some brutal comments. I thought almost everyone was into I.F.!

 

[coronerox]

Well I was........but to be sincere I didn't like R2R, and I hope the new cd sounds nothing like R2R...........

Anyway, is just my opinion

 

[Stun]

Morfiend, Minus doesn't have any solos. Well, okay, it has one that's 6 seconds long and half of it sounds almost the exact same as one of their earlier solos...

What the hell happened to them?? When I heard their earlier stuff, I thought they had the most potential out of any death metal band I'd ever heard......

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

All I've heard from them is Jester Race and a couple songs off of R2R. Jester Race is awesome; sounds vaguely like Sinergy or Children Of Bodom with death vox. The Reroute songs blow.

 

[coronerox]

Totally agreed Pyrus...........The song Reroute to Remain is killer......
But is the only R2R song that I really like
There are a few more that I enjoy, but I didn't really like the album at all

 

[MindInsane]

I like R2R..I listen to it when I feel mellow...it's good rock and roll. I prefer Colony..it's definitely my favorite In Flames. I think pretty much all In Flames has a "happy happy joy joy" sound to it...that's why I don't think the Death Metal part of melodic death metal belongs when describing them. They will definitely get my money and support on the next album though...I can't wait!! I love 'em!

 

[Stun]

MindInsane, have you ever heard their first album (they had a different singer), Lunar Strain? And the EP Subterranean? You'll know where the label melodic death came from then... but as soon as Anders joined, it started heading in the happy direction, I agree... but I just think that they've gone too far, and are looking for money now.

You said it was rock and roll... that's the sad part tho, they promised a killer metal album, and we got R2R. Well, I'd say it is undoubtedly the best NU-metal album I've ever heard, but... ya know... that ain't saying much.

Now they say it's gonna be harder and better, probably in the sense that Mudvayne and Korn are hard (which imo they are not). Well, I'm hoping for the best... we'll have to see probably in 2004 or late 2003.
