In Flames

Metal Connoisseur · 05-05-2011, 07:29 PM

I can't post a URL for the new In Flames single but I can still ask the community's opinion. Sorry its not Jester Race or Whoracle guys but, personally, I found the new song not to be jaw dropping but there were some tight, pummeling riffs and some subtle synths that really added to the song. All in all a solid single, expecting something more out of the new album though. So what's your take?

Definitely a good single. I'm looking forward to the new album for sure. Bjorn did a fine job, and it looks like Niclas Englin will be a full-time replacement for Jesper. The song itself is great, but is very single quality. Singles don't always reflect the rest of the album ("Come Clarity" for example) so I wouldn't formulate an early opinion of SOAPF yet. The single can at least tide us over until the other twelve tracks are released.

never been big on In Flames, a few songs here and there. This being one of them:

Overall, not a band I really care for, out of the Gothenberg scene, At the Gates I feel is the best band to come out of that scene, their first 2 releases were amazing. After that I think it got kinda meh.. "Slaughter of the Soul" was decent and all, but I do not find it to be their best like many people. I even liked Grotesque, they were an interesting band.

But for In Flames, I think the first few albums are great, can't be bothered to listen to the newer stuff though, just does nothing for me.

meh. their first album "lunar strain" is the only one i can get into..

I think the songs "Clad In Shadows" and "Behind Space" from Lunar Strain sound better when they are remade later on Colony. I also like "Dead Eternity" better on The Jester Race than on the "Dead God In Me" version on Subterranean. I think In Flames benefits from better production post-Subterranean and Anders was a better fit for the band than Stanne. Likewise, Stanne is a better fit for Dark Tranquility.

Interesting...as a fan of both bands I disagree entirely. Whatevs

New In Flames can suck my balls. The Jester Race and everything before it is awesome.

But yeah, ATG > IF.
