miocene said:The new stuff sounds pretty heavy live! Alot better than on the cd's. Especially touch of red.. i think so anyways
You're kidding.... I've seen them play Touch Of Red twice, both times I've seen them, and it was like "is this still In Flames?" The verse of that song is cringeworthily minimalistic, more or less quiet, with annoying drums, and Friden's attempt at screaming. And a half-assed attempt at a chorus.
They'd better not play it in November. Or Dead Alone for that matter.
Anything else on STYE is bearable
I don't want to be made out as one of those "what happened after Whoracle?!!" type fans, I love R2R and I can live with most of STYE, but those two songs are a real low point of In Flames for me.
