Dark Tranquillity - Fiction
sounds just like in flames to me, did you get the edition with a bigger booklet and a free patch? i did. i'm a sucker.
I've actually really enjoyed both Character and Fiction (I didn't buy the special edition). I wouldn't go near In Flames' new stuff with a ten foot pole, what I've heard of it has been absolutely horrible. I don't see an overwhelming similarity between the two at this point, Dark Tranquillity has been putting out solid releases in the same vein for quite a while now, whereas In Flames seems to have decided to pursue radio rock/nu metal.
