Lunar Strain is the best inflames album

[DeTh^^]

I cant decide what's best between TJR and whoracle.

both classic albums...

 

[O'blivion]

colony is easily their best album. YES.

 

[DemonOfTheFall]

1 The Jester Race / Black Ash Inheritence
2 Whoracle
3 Colony
4 Clayman
5 Subterranean
6 Lunar Strain
7 Reroute to Remain

Yea... so as you can see, I don't think Lunar Strain is In Flame's best album. It's alright, very raw, aggressive, but definitely very ... "garagy". Reroute was really a huge disappointment to me, I'd still love to go to an In Flame's show, but the new stuff has all but detached itself to their old signature. I feel if you think LS is their best work, you really should reanalyze their intermediary works of The Jester Race and Whoracle (their masterpieces), they have a lot to offer, and with enough patience will open your eyes to what In Flames is really about.

The only good in flames is a dead in flames.

Reroute to remain ain't that bad, and its certainly NOT nu metal. Just because they toured with slipknot doesn't automatically mean that they are now a nu metal band.

I'd say Clayman was the worst, most of the songs on there don't even get my foot tapping, let alone my head banging.

Whoracle will always be my fave as it has the most classic songs and the interludes are fab and add to the atmosphere. Everything counts is also a kickass song!

To surmise i'd say:

1: Whoracle
2: Colony
3: Lunar Strain
4: TJR
5: Reroute To Remain
6: Clayman

I really adore all the in flames albums (except rtr which is garbage), with clayman edging out tjr and colony by a hair. Personally i think stanne's vocals are a thousand times worse than ander's comparing lunar strain to TJR. Stanne has thankfully sort himself out, and his vocals on damage done are quite glorious. I do however adore all of anders vocals, especially the cry of "i feel so invincible" on clayman.

 

[Slynt]

1. Whoracle
2. Reroute to Remain
3. Lunar Strain
4. The Jester Race
5. Clay Man

(I don't like Colony at all, hellfucked or not.)

 

[Timmy]

most of Reroute to Remain seems pretty average to me.. not horrible, just not fantastic

I must admit i quite like Trigger though

 

[Demonspell]

I agree, RTR sounds more like the work of a band utterly confused about their direction and failing at various experiments than a calculated sellout...

 

[svenske kocken]

Don't care to much for In Flames, but okay - here goes:

Whoracle
Lunar Strain
Subterranean
The Jester Race
Black Ash Inheritance
Clayman
Reroute To Remain
Colony

 

[ChrisEmerson]

i think TJR is the best, followed by subterranean (that rules), lunar strain, whoracle/black-ash inheritance, colony, clayman, r2r (which sucks tbh)

 

[Ormir]

I like Lunar Strain. It's the only In Flames album I can listen to from beginning to end without being bored to tears by the filler material. Plus it has the best lyrics IF have ever had.

 

[Nebularus]

I totally agree. Lunar Strain and Subterranean are my favourite In Flames records (although Colony is also amazing). The early albums had a naive charm about them that was lost once they became a polished metal band.

 

[Kaberonie]

R2R isn't all that bad....

people give it too much shit.

Dawn of a new Day is a really different song from what you normally hear, and I like that.....
the band is experimenting...

One of the few successful attempts at branching out on RTR.

Glad you agree.
I do admit that some songs on R2R are weak.....but for the most part I like it.
