A new update of Scratch the Surface webzine is already posted on-line featuring a review of In Flames latest work "A Sense of Purpose", which scored 5/7.
"In the last few years the bi-forked tongues of some hyper-conservative media have written In Flames off as a spent force geared for commercial purposes, which is a tremendous injustice ‘cause IN FLAMES DON’T SOUND LIKE KORN, just like I’ve read somewhere. Never did and most likely never will and the fact the Swedes can now shift a six-figures per record and get air-play on MTV only proves that a lot more people have acquired a good taste in music. So all the accusations of selling out, mellowing up or jumping to whatever bandwagon is on hype are plain nonsense and don’t apply to In Flames, a band that have been constantly progressing over the years, without betraying their Metal origins. Not to mention that have yet to write a song called “A.D.I.D.A.S.”
