YES! Preview of LotFP 65, COMING IN MAY!
IN FLAMES Soundtrack to Your Escape
12- 47:04 Nuclear Blast
Tard metal.
Clayman was the drizzling shits. I mean just the worst. The kind of album where if you liked it, dear reader, I cant help but think youre a retard and worry that just by you touching something I had printed that the retard waves might somehow be cosmically carried back to me. So put down this magazine now.
if I get enough retard waves, I could start enjoying the band again, couldnt I...
The sound and their antics onstage were such that I walked out on them the first time I ever saw them after two songs. I was fortunate to not receive a promo copy of Reroute to Remain.
but Ive been cursed with some Soundtrack in the mailbox.
I hate this band. I mean, really, really hate this band. Because I remember when Jesper Stromblad played his guitar. Because I remember melodies and harmonies. Because I remember when a death metal band wore MANOWAR and RUNNING WILD shirts instead of having massive amounts of tattoos and talking about all the hot bands the MTV kidz were listening to. Loincloths and pirate songs really would be a big improvement at this point.
Every time it sounds like theyre onto a riff that might give me one song to hang onto, one song to where I want to say I used to like this band, they fuck it up with some nu metal device.
Anders Friden cant sing. No argument. No justification. He cant sing. His throatscratching worked early on because the music was smooth enough, flowing enough, melodic enough that he could get away with it and it added the touch of chaos and harshness that was a great balance for the band. With the music no longer working that way, what we have is a guy that isnt adding a damned thing, and his screaming is just another body piling on to the horror. And when he tries to sing cleanly, its a crime against music. Seriously. Glad to hear that five years of recording clean vocal bits hasnt bothered him enough to want to improve.
And Im sorry, there is no way at all to justify the idea of naming a song Dial 595-Escape. Superhero of the Computer Rage. But the band was coming up with dumb and simply impossible-to-understand titles and lyrics even when Stanne was helping them out.
Id like to think theres a special place in hell for this band. Id like to think there are certain diseases reserved for the publicists who push this band as the future of metal. But since people seem to need some schooling: No band with a recording career ten years old is the future of anything. Ever. Deal with it. This band was the future of metal when Lunar Strain came out, even if not nearly enough people knew about it at the time. When Jester Race came out, they were the now of metal. In 1995. Due to American label conspiracy policy of only unloading styles in the US after theyve been completely run into the fucking ground in Europe, they didnt even get a serious promotional push until 1999. Four years after the time was right, and two albums into their descent. I fucking hate metal.

I think they desperately want to be the psychos with the bad upbringing. Just like their faves Slipknot...
