It's been a long and consistent descent for In Flames for much of the last few years, skating by on their reputation rather than merit to keep their name relevant. It is against this back drop that they release I, The Mask, an album that is born with its back to the wall - can it come out swinging? Read more ›› |

Screw Alternative metal. The songs are terrible, the vocals are terrible. These days they definitely belong to the absolute worst metal bands in history. Go back to listening your favorite Justin Bieber album.

First In Flames album ever I didn't even bother to check. Heard two of the singles and that was more than enough to finally entomb this band. Unfortunalety, it's too late already for a dignified burial, so someone has to bury them hastily somewhere in some filthy backyard. Anyway, what I am really trying to say is: what RaduP said, first page, five weeks ago.

Well. At least it isn't as bad as Battles IMO. Still not good. I can see glimpses of greatness in some of the tracks here. For example, I really dig the main riff of Deep Inside. Ander's just doesn't have the vocal chops anymore and he's really straining. The songwriting is gross, like pop alternative candy.

Written by Starvynth on 27.03.2019 at 17:26 If you have survived listening to all their albums since Soundtrack you are gonna stand this one too. I think it is actually not as bad as Battles. I am above, Burn, and Deep inside are worth a listen. That said, overall this is not a good album. Edit: If you want to bury them in some filthy backyard you will first have to unbury them from my backyard. And I wont help you at that.

In my opinion this album is very good with respect to the previous disappointments as they were Battles and Siren Charms, this is the sound of In Flames let us forget that death sound that it had in its beginnings. IN FLAMES rules‼

Best since their 2011 release (Sounds of a Playground Fading) for sure! Also a better album as a whole. It's an easy listen with some great solos and melodies, and no songs are offensive in particular, making it an easy album to listen through multiple times without needing to skip anything.

Maybe they could change their name to "In Shames" to reflect the current (crappy) state of the band?

2 songs that I liked on this one (which is 1 more than the previous album...). Funnily enough it's the first and the last track of the album. They aren't spectacular or innovative by all means but I enjoy listening to those 2 songs. That being said the rest didn't really do anything for me. Well... except for "(This is Our) House" which actually made me feel something. Anger... I remember hearing that one a few months ago and already finding it abysmal. Hearing it a second time only made it worse in my mind. Quite possibly the worst In Flames song I've ever heard.

Its hilarious. In the states we have XM Satellite radio which has 2 big rock stations - Octane (New Hard Rock) and Liquid Metal. A lot of bands nowadays will have 2 singles, one for each station. It was quite obvious with this album that In Flames did this too. This is Our House was the Octane single and I Am Above was Liquid Metal. Anyway, about a month after they released Octane quit playing their garbage song and now plays the Liquid Metal one regularly. In Flames is a metal band and it should fucking stay that way.

A few months ago when I heard the first track, I thought, at least they return to metal a little bit. Then the second track came out, hmmmm.... worse than Battles.

It's funny, I think if I had read all the hate here first, I might never had given this album a try, or with a bad feeling that would have ruined it. But the first song I heard from it actually came in a Spotify radio and I instantly loved it. I think it's very good, one of my favourite IF albums for sure. It clearly isn't for those expecting another Clayman or Jester Race, but I feel the hate here is un-deserved and almost stupid. Any other band releasing that album wouldn't gather 1% of that hate. If people don't like the genre shift that's fine, but that album is good, like or not.

6.6/235 votes that's about right

Don't know about this album, but 10/10 for the arcade version of this album.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_nCO-mn9mE

Anders Friden, the traitor of Melodic Death Metal!!1  Fortunately, he left the better Dark Tranquillity very soon before he was able to defile this band like he did with In Flames. Did I just hear a children choir in one song???? Fits to the edgy album cover. I better stop now, I'm shaking with rage
