I dont mind In Flames... not my most favorite band of alltime but theres some good songs. I liked Clayman for the most part .. proably the best of the albums Ive heard. I dont know if Id really consider them "death metal" though.
and i like in flames, but i never really considered them death metal... i always never really considered melodeath to be death metal... i always associate death metal with bands like deicide and decapitated, who i happen to like more than melodeath these days.
Jester Race isn't bad. I sold it to make room on my CD rack and because I rarely listen to it, but the mp3s are still on my computer. Some fairly good stuff.
