Yeah I love the caption under the album title too... 14 songs of conscious insanity. my favorite songs on that album are trigger, free fall, and black&White.... but in better humor....
PlainVanilla
Dickhead Jester
That's my second favorite In Flames album. Not my favorite album overall from all the bands I listen to. I'd have to say The Jester Rave is my overall favorite album....but oddly enough In Flames would probably be my #2 band. Weird how that works...
"The Jester Rave" sounds like electronica
Or a blatant typo. But that would be awesome. Let's redo The Jester Race in complete synthpop!

This is Not an Exit
This is the only reason I can think of to justify R2R's existence: conscious insanity.
SOAPF sounds nothing like Passenger
Also, R2R is a good album but let's not place it on too high of a pedestal it's not that good.
On SOAPF... I feel like I've listened to Where the Dead Ships Dwell for the first time today. That chorus is fucking amazing.
'Feel I was running an endless mile
The last candle burns
And I'm dying inside
All this will turn to ash
A change for a peace of mind'
Other than the last line being slightly incorrect gramatically (should be changed to 'for peace of mind' really, but w/e) the lyrics are beautiful, and Anders sings them with fantastic emotion. I don't praise him often, but bravo on this one Mr Friden. Great stuff.

I considered that, but it seems to make even less sense that way
Well if it is "peace of mind" then it makes sense because he wants a quiet mind. If it's "piece of mind" it still makes sense because he is saying that he wants to make a change in order to have better thoughts. To be honest, I never thought he was saying, "peace" because of the "a" right before it, until you posted the chorus. I guess we'll have to wait for the booklet, hopefully this one will be flawless this time, but probably not.
Without a prefix I don't really see how "a piece of mind" can work to be honest. Peace, to me, is the only word that makes sense there.
Ahh well, who gives a fuck, it's still great
"a piece of mind" as in "I'll give you a piece of my mind." It works. "Do you question me? I question you!"
[I really just wanted to use that line. I can see it being either, and you're right, it doesn't really matter because it is great.]

I completely agree. Probably one of the, if not the best, choruses on the album. Anders' performance on it was great, very good singing.
