Wow, I just heard this song today...and I was floored. I'm incredibly happy with it, and if this is the direction In Flames is going in, I can't complain. Shit...they're taking elements from Reroute (vocal melodies) and mixing a somewhat older guitar sound to it. I was hoping they'd do something like that.
Now I know people will always find a way to bash In Flames...people are saying the intro riff is "detuned"...well guess what, In Flames has been playing "detuned" since they started.
As far as In Flames wanting to experiment, like the Moonshield mix (which I like a lot)... Look, they're not looking to fit any molds...they just do what they wanna do. It's not like they sit there and think "Oh man, this song doesn't sound melodic death enough for all the elitists."
If they wanna experiment, but still churn out sick songs like Watch Them Feed, then I'm all for In Flames.
