Fingers crossed

I'm REALLY curious about what they will bring to the table this time. Opposed to many people here, I like the constant evolving in In Flames' sound.

Really stooked for this one, after listening carefully to the overwhelming Sounds Of A Playground Fading (imo)!!!

I see the style changed, and after listening to Rusted Nail- which can be found on youtube- I can see why. It met my expectations, more of the same.

I like the song, but anyways, Anders' vocals were always the worst part of this band. I also dig their last album a lot but the vocals were pretty bad there as well. I just learned how to ignore it.

The only vocals Anders ever did well were the gruff gutturals on Jester race and Whoracle (and the two EPs before Colony). He was passable on most other albums because the music was so good. Here there's nothing musically worth appreciating, and somehow all the unpleasant sounding qualities of his voice seem amplified.

Reroute To Remain was the last good performance by Anders, he wasn't too bad in Soundtrack to Your Escape though. SOAPF isn't bad it's not MDM but still a good album. But seriously can't ignore Anders' vocals in "Rusted Nail" ... He ruined the song which have some good riffs!

Lame song and yeah, Anders vocals are really bad in this one.. I hope the album will have better song than this.

I like Rusted Nail, new sound is neat, but I find Through Oblivion to be somewhat boring.

I really like his vocals on Come Clarity, I find his early death growls to just be dull.

That's weird, his vocals in The Jester Race were awesome no one can deny that. Nowadays he's just whining!

You have to be fucking kidding me?! If this is what the new album will sound like I will personally visit Gothenburg and take away their gear.

It's a good alternative rock song .. ruined by Anders's vocals

No, it's not, I'm a fan of alternative, not death metal. Generally I vastly prefer "whining" to death growls. I dig the higher pitched screams and cleans, they've got more feeling. I just like melodeath because of the melody. He certainly isn't the worst death metal vocalist I've ever heard, but he isn't the best either.

Well it all makes sense now, you're not a fan of the genre so it's just a matter of taste! nobody is right also nobody is wrong.

Checked out the one track from this album that Fredd posted. It's not that bad. Seems like decent alternative metal, and I'm okay with the vocals. Those with the expectations are understandably annoyed. For me, who've never really bothered to check out In Flames come in a clean slate and find it okay. At least it's not terrible

Pretty much, though while I'm not a fan of death metal I'm a fan of melodic metal, so I can still criticize it as I see fit to my tastes.

Atleast I have a sense of humor. Hopefully In Flames do too...

Hahaha this is fucking hilarious!!!!!!!!

Those Downfall videos are some of the internet's greatest treasures. Thanks to it it's one of the few times I've a Gangnam Style song.

As for this album, I won't even bother.

I fixed your link but you still accidentally a word.

Speaking of which, In Flames accidentally all of their talent.

This is Ilham's influence.

I plead guilty.

I will not even waste bandwidth on this.

That Hitler Gangam thing was beautiful. Beautiful.

Well, i'm digging "Filtered Truth"!

Album leaked.

Yup, currently listening to it

PS : 3 tracks later... Really not good not even enjoyable as Rusted Nail can be after a while (and an open mind )

Music is surprisingly not awful, on its own I'd probably give it about a 5 or 6 out of 10. You can expect a lot of melody because it's still In Flames but their songs are so formulaic and uninteresting, it's hard to digest the whole thing in one sitting without getting bored. The vocals get like a 3 though. Anders is awful. The production is terrible too.

The production on this album is absolutely atrocious.
