I disagree, they change in sound just has to do with their evolution as a band. They honestly have yet to release a bad record. The melodies found on Reroute to Remain, Soundtrack to Escape and the like are pretty extraordinary. Absolutely cannot wait for the new album. As a side, i'm not dissing on the old stuff, Jester Race through Clayman was amazing as well. Lunar Strain and Subterranean don't count IMO

In Flames are the perfect example, of a group that that were part of a genre such as melodic death metal, which helped to inspire a genre such as metalcore. Metalcore is far more commercially successful than melodic death metal ever was. Its no surprise that to achieve commercial success, In Flames adopted the more commercially viable sound that they had helped to inspire. Whether a group is commercial sounding or not, makes no real difference to me anyway, as some of my fav groups are pretty commercial, In the case of In Flames, I`m just saying they really lost their metal soul and have just contented themselves to mediocrity. They`re certainly a lot better than any of the metalcore bands out there, but I wouldn`t say any of their recent albums warrant that view. |

You should check out Subbterranean, imo, it's their best album. Especially the one with the two bonus track covers of Metallica and Iron Maiden.

I gave Subterranean a couple of listens last night and I liked it. It does sound a little aged though, and I'm not a huge fan of the temporary vocalist. I also liked the newer version of Dead Eternity better. But a good album nonetheless
