Lunar Strain is the best inflames album

[Morgour]

for me anyway. i got bored of colony and whoracle after about 2 listens, lunar strain has the atmosphere i was looking for in a in flames album.

Nothing tops Jester Race, and I'd put Whoracle above Lunar Strain. It is however infinitely better than Clayman and Reroute to Remain (CRAP!!!)

 

[Manbient]

it's my 4th favorite i think. TJR just has to be the best though haha

 

[Morgour]

i like the vocals much more aswell, they get on my nerves on the later albums.

 

[Zero888]

thats because its a different vocalist

 

[squarenothing66]

Lunar Strain is awesome, but I would have to agree with G_P... Whoracle and The Jester Race are better.

 

[Ghost Tears]

Isn't Michael Stanne (however you spell his name) from dark tranquility the vocalist on Lunar Strain?

 

[John Gargo]

Well, it was going to happen eventually...

Whoracle
Jester Race
Lunar Strain
Clayman
Colony
....
....
....
Reroute to Remain

I felt the need to distance RTR from the others since it almost pulls the others down to be mentioned in the same sentence as that, uh.... "experiment."

 

[jester00]

the jester race... the best

 

[IcemanJ256]

I love Lunar Strain and subteranien. But not as much as TJR. I dont even like any other in flames albums.

and yes Mikeal Stanne is the vocalist in it.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Yes Mikael Stanne is the vocalist on Lunar Strain.. probably Subterranean too but can't remember off the top of my head. I love Lunar Straing but TJR is my all time favorite.. and one of my all time favorite albums. Lunar Strain/Subterranean is right behind TJR though. If Lunar Strain had better sound quality it would probably be my absolute favorite... the songs they have redone from it (Clad in Shadows, Behind Space) are much better.. it would be interesting if they would have re-recorded all the songs off their.. I'd love to hear Dreamscape re-recorded.

 

[ffanatic]

either Colony or Whoracle for me.

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

Eh... i think its their worst..... Colony fuckin' slays.....

This post seems really out of place and probably would be better in the Off/ topic section but anyways:

I personally like everything on TJR the most as compared to the other releases. However, I like Michael Stanne a lot more as a singer and thus the vocals for Lunar Strain also get my vote.

I've got Lunar Strain, to say it's better than The Jester Race, to me seems a bit of a joke.

It's not even near as masterful or developed, it's simply In Flames in their developing stage. Not their best.

 

[Ermz]

Lunar Strain is a great classic gothenburg style album that's for sure, but TJR takes the cake for me too. TJR just has all the best parts of In Flames, and I think if Anders wasn't there to wreck every single song they've ever done it would be so much better.

 

[squarenothing66]

I think if Anders wasn't there to wreck every single song they've ever done it would be so much better.

Not saying that Anders is horrible in any way, because I love him to death, but would, as you say, rather have him wrecking every single Dark Tranquillity song?

 

[Ermz]

Well basically since I'm more an IF fan than I am a DT fan, I'd be glad if they dumped Anders... anywhere.

 

[ShadowLioness]

Well ya know, there IS an unofficial In Flames forum at HMAS.org.

I have no problems with throwing in my two cents here though.

I'd have to say the "best" In Flames albums are a toss up between "Whoracle" and "The Jester Race" for me. I do love the folky acoustical interludes though on "Lunar Strain". I once considered having those played at my wedding.......umm...errrr....what wedding is what I say, heh.

Edit: Blahhh, ya know what? I didn't mean to say "folky".....I have always thought those acoustical passages were very reminiscent of the Renaissance period. Okay, I'm done now.

 

[Nightmarez]

I'd have to say The Jester Race tops the mentioned In Flames abulms for me, Lunar Strain is a great abulm, is a very close second. But all in all I'd have to say The Jester Race did it for me, just my opinion though.
