Yeah. I stand by my initial statement. By no means do I actually like Slaughter of the Soul; I actually haven't heard it for many years, but I can't imagine disliking it more than In Flames' first album. The Jester Race is probably better, but I don't give a fuck.
In Flames is so happy-go-lucky that it makes me cringe. The melodies are saccharine and simply fucking revolting.
