In Flames, Soilwork, and alike

I dont know man, R2R really sucks. There is a cool riff every 3 minutes or so, the singing is horrible, and their solos don't exist. I always liked the way that they wrote solos, i think the solo for the Hive is one of the best metal solos as far as flow goes. Soundtrack is pitiful, so I wont go into that. Cant see them putting out anything too decent because theyd have to regress to do so (as in go in the direction of their past sound). I don't get hung up on old music, because I like the way Opeth and some other bands have evolved. People can flame me all they want, but i was a big fan of collective soul, but i cant stand them now because i think they evolved in a bad way, just like in flames.

Onward!
When a (metal) band's majority fanbase begins to look like the sort of people you'd meet at a Blink182 concert, you'd think said band would have to do a bit of a re-evaluation...

They may just return to the old Gothenburg sound, you never know...Dark Tranquillity experimented for two albums (like In Flames) then returned to being a heavy melodic death band. So we'll just have to wait.

It's not gonna happen. They're dwelling too much in their newfound popularity (the type that writing shit music brings).
It's just really sad because I just saw such future potential for that band. Jesper is simply one of the best lead and solo writers in metal and it's almost as if he breathed melodic death. Definately one of my biggest influences for lead playing and lead tone aswell.
It's just really sad because I was at their last concert here in Melbourne and the fanbase is pitiful. We found TWO guys out of a group of maybe 1000 who were into the old shit. Everyone else had R2R shirts on and didn't know what the fuck was going on when In Flames were playing Behind Space.

Try coming to the US for one of those "headbanger's ball" tours featuring a sellout melodic death band and like 3 or 4 metalcore bands. By the end of the night you'll be twitching from being around all those newb scene faggoths who haven't even acknowledged extreme metal until about a year ago.

I think I got a taste of that by having to wait through 3 opening nu-metal/metalcore acts, including the ONE AND ONLY... CHIMAIRA *shudders*...

The best in flames guitar solo IMO is the one in december flower....but it seems they didnt even play that solo so idk
I for one am content with the fact that In Flames has made changes in their style. I like songs like 'Dawn of a New Day' and 'Free Fall' and don't mind the singing that much. Their strength anyway has always been in their guitars rather than vocals.
However, I would love it if they would use mellower parts more often like in 'The Jester's Dance'.

Try and get your hands on the Lunar Strain/Subterranean release. I find that to be far superior to TJR, which I find to be pretty bland most of the time.
With that said, you can't fuck with The Jester's Dance.
