I don't really get the big deal about Killswitch either. I have, however, only heard one song from each of the last 2 CDs, so if that invalidates my opinion then you should ignore this. But I haven't felt compelled to listen to anything else. To me, they just sound like all those other bands who previously played hardcore or metalcore or whatever, decided they loved Clayman, and started trying to mix it in with their own stuff. I love Clayman and in theory I should love all this other stuff like Killswitch Engage and Bleeding Through and whatever else, but it just lacks something in my opinion. I am all for music that's catchy, and I don't give a crap about innovation - I'm not one of those people you find about metal boards who insist on using the word "art" instead of music, and won't listen to anything that's successful. But I just don't think Killswitch are anything special. But that's just what I think based on two songs, for whatever that is worth. I definitely think they're a good pairing for In Flames though. As for whose latest album is better, then I obviously can't really say having not heard the Killswitch one, but I would have thought that all of the millions of people who come on here bitching about RTR and STYE would much prefer Killswitch, since that is closer to what In Flames were 4 years ago.
