Really digging A New Dawn!
Cool song, of course not old In Flames-good, but that's not what the band is about anymore. It seems that this album will be a great (and much needed) leap forward from ASOP.
I used to be their fan, I still love their early works but I haven't said the following since Clayman;
The new In Flames album is pretty good.
Apparently it's still totally different than the "classic In Flames" but I'm listening to these songs for like the third time in a row which I couldn't do with the previous 3-4 albums. Actually I can't even listen to those albums.
I don't understand why bands still continue to give away copy of the albums before the release. I know they need to be reviewed immediately (really?) but it's not that difficult to understand that the albums are leaked by the "journalists".
The new In Flames for example has like 4-5 official hi-quality promo shots inside...
Considering it leaked a week before release, that's pretty damn good. Usually things get ripped a month or two before release, but only a week? That's cutting it pretty close!
