So what do you guys think of the new In Flames album?

[metal17]

hmm...I think it is their best release but I'm not sure if it's my favourite though. :hotjump:

I know this isn't supposed to be on the dt forum either...but come on let's get some new topics for a change...you guys keep posting on the same old threads over and over. BTW, the keyboards in "My Sweet Shadow" (especially the intro part) sounds like it would fit perfectly in Damage Done album.

Cheers!

no need to justify yourself for this thread, metal17, it was just a matter of time after all.

i will post my opinion and a review of the record as soon as i have some more time, which might not be that soon...

[metal17]

lol...just a matter of time...hmmph you guys are so mean! anyhow go buy STYE...it really is amazing!

 

[rahvin]

well, we've always had our share of in flames praising/bashing/comparing and especially bitching about how badly they behaved towards fans when they took the board down. it's something we're pretty accustomed to, like when during christmas dinner at some point someone will mention the embarrassing uncle who started acting wacky and was put into that oh-so-very-comfortable home for nutty people.

 

[DeepInMisery]

I wasn't exactly being mean, atleast i dont think so? I don't really like In Flames, but i'm just saying the new album IMO sounds much like reroute2remain, just a "little" different. I guess if you liked that album, you will like this one too, and vice versa.

[Salamurhaaja]

I'm thinking I don't care much for In Flames.

 

[Tranquillian]

I think it is a decent to good album. Anders lyrics are getting better but the music is not.

So you are saying it's just as worthless pile of manure than
anything else they have released since Whoracle?
Figures.

Oh, did I mention I don't much like In Flames?
Or the fact that they are mentioned on this board, even if
they have a common background?

 

[Incendiare]

I don't care for their last two albums. So that's that.

 

[metal17]

do you guys like at the gates? Hey have you ever heard Sacrilege? That band features In Flames current drummer...the music is very good too.

 

[Miolo]

i haven't heard it yet and i don't intend to do it anytime soon. however, rahvin told me it's utter crap and i trust him.

 

[Sunjammer]

I liked "Reroute To Remain" and I like "Soundtrack To Your Escape". At the moment though, I think "Whoracle" is the best album yet. Just my $0.02...

Odd, I'd say the exact opposite. I kinda liked the older lyrics for their DT-esque abstract/confusing/what is he singing about? nature. And I think it kinda ruins a song I've really grown to like the sound of to give it a honestly moronic title - i.e. Evil in a Closet. I don't actually have the album, but I've had the songs for about the past two weeks, and listened to very little else. I have to say, it's a definite improvement over R2R, but its just not the same band. They went a kind of Soilwork/more industrial path recently, and I kinda enjoy it a bit, although this album definitely does a better job of it than R2R.

So far, I really love EiaC and My Sweet Shadow.

~Kov. Just my $0.02

 

[S4R]

The Quiet Place has some potential. It could have been good with another arrangement/heavier sound. The album as a whole is boring.

 

[nj23nut]

NOT going to even bother listening to it after RTR. I haven't been that disappointed in a band since "Load"....
