I love Soilwork for the most part, but I can't really get into these guys. I tried to like Character , and Lost to Apathy is a cool song , but I just don't like the production. And I've liked quite a few Tue Madsen albums, but when he does these guys I just don't like the result.

Sounds so fricken good to me. A lot of bands are really missing the beef in their guitars that Tranquility & Flames bring my ears 
Who's mixing this bad boy?

The DT catalog has highs and lows for me (Still have yet to hear some), but even my least favorite stuff I still enjoy. Best of the Gothenburg bands IMO. I think their weakest link is that some of their newer stuff sounds like stuff they've already done. It would be awesome if they didn't already have material with the same feel.
Check out the blasphemy that is about to spew forth from my fingers: I like DT's Damage Done much more than I like IF's Clayman. Yea, I said it.
What. WHAT!

..Hay check out those Bugeras in their rehearsal space!

So does everyone who likes real melodic death metal. In Flames before Colony = solid. In Flames after Whoracle =
uke:. DT still brings the win, although Fiction wasn't really incredible. Damage Done is an absolute gem though.Jesus Adam, not this spiel again

One consistent part of all of Dark Tranquillity's catalog have been the lyrics of Mikael Stanne. I've always thought he is a good lyricist and now even others seem to be seeking him out such as Solution .45 and Christian Alvestam. As noted above, Damage Done is a one of the real bright spots, but I also like Fiction quite a bit too. The new live DVD is a great collection of old and new combined in a great visual and audio package.

I agree 100%!! DT has a maturity to their sound that In Flames can only dream about.

It's actually REALLY different to their last effort, But the mix sounds great and the song is good, just not what I'm used to!
I can't wait for the album. I hope they come to Au
I thought the same on all accounts. Seems like they're going for a different approach, at least on this song.
I never judge a DT album off one song though. They always seem to work differently in the context of the flow of the whole album.

yayyyyyy!
There are differences I appreciate between all the albums. I started listening to them at The Gallery and have appreciated everything they have put out since then. I always look forward to a DT release and this is no different.

Inside the Particle Storm (a song on the Fiction Album for those that do not know) sounds NOTHING like the rest of the album. If they released that song first a lot of people would have been confused when the album popped. Great song though, IMO. This album will more than likely be killer, I'm really looking forward to it!

Well, he said "In Flames before Colony = solid"
But I personally think their downfall started after Clayman. Colony is a very solid album to me, and Clayman has some of my favourite songs by them (...as the Future Repeats Today, Square Nothing, Swim, Suburban Me).

+1, though there are some songs that are good IMO post-Clayman, you just gotta be in a modern metal mindset, not thinking about the regretted Gothenburg In Flames.
Though I still think it's a shame they followed their imitators.

yeah, my point was not everything after whoreacle is bad.
r2r is actually the first in flames album i got into, but afterward i gravitated toward their older stuff and rarely listen to anything they did after clayman.
back on topic; new song doesn't really do anything for me, but i'll definitely check out their album when it comes out.

Yeah, DT have been quite hit and miss to me after Damage Done. Each album contains one or two tracks that could be counted among their best, but then the rest of the album is just boring filler or uninspired sounding The new track falls into the latter category, for me.

I can understand this opinion of their more recent releases, but I like them enough that I can get past it and listen to everything by them, but it is a great time we live in where making a "best of" collection is as simple as using ratings in MP3 players or just making a playlist.
