The Jester Race

[MadeInNewJersey]

Jester Race rules, you stoopid drunk h8tr.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

jester race is pretty damn good, definitely...prolly 8.5/10 imo...i too forgot for a time its charms, only to have my ass re-awakened not too long ago

 

[MFJ]

Lunar Strain, Subterranean and COlony are better than TJR

Colony? Are you totally fucking serious?

 

[cthulufhtagn]

yea wtf i missed that post

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Colony? Are you totally fucking serious?

Yes, he is.

Just ignore him

So, about this new album...

My friend Chris is a huge In Flames fanboy who used to (maybe still does) regard TJR as the best album of all time. When we heard from the band that the new stuff had some actual "harmonies" on it, we were skeptic. Now, I haven't heard any of the new tracks, but HE has and actually said to me "Dude, I'm not kidding. There are some parts on this album that actually sound like the Jester Race."

Hey, I'm always optimistic.

 

[neal]

yes this album totally fucking rules! (but i do like The Inborn Lifeless better than Dead God in Me)

Actually, the Subterranean EP is arguably the best thing that In Flames ever did.
Arguably, because The Jester Race is also arguably the best thing they ever did.

it's hard to say. Subterranian is a little unique from the rest of their shit in that quite a few of the melodies have an extra 'modern' flair on them thats not quite typical In Flames style (and plenty that are). if Subterranean were a whole album that awesome and consistant i dont think there'd be a question.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

yeah, that's pretty much the thing. Is it really that great? or is it?

 

[Reign in Acai]

Jester Race is a monster of an album. Moooooooonshield!

Colony? Are you totally fucking serious?

[MadeInNewJersey]

That just means you're equally as wrong.

Bingo. At least someone else is enlightened to the awesomeness of Colony and the overratedness of TJR.

In the correct order:

Lunar Strain
Subterrenean
Colony
The Jester Race
Whoracle
sour milk
Clayman
the rest

Lunar Strain
Subterrenean
Colony
The Jester Race
Whoracle
sour milk
Clayman
the rest

That pretty much sums up the FACTUAL evidence on In Flames, except switch Sub and Lunar Strain. But yeah.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I actually find "Lunar Strain" and "Subeterrenean" to be equals in terms of quality, but "Lunar Strain" is longer... so..

 

[Erik]

In the correct order:

Lunar Strain
Subterrenean
Colony
The Jester Race
Whoracle
sour milk
Clayman
the rest

Ya.

Though i might place Subterennean under Colony.

I love Colony, it's just my 3rd fave, behind TJR & Subterranean/Lunar.

 

[MFJ]

Colony is fine, but I totally fail to see where it is better than TJR.
