I just downloaded the new In Flames single.

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>After anticipating Reroute to Remain and being let down, I didn't really have high expectations for this. When I found out that the single got leaked yesterday, I wasn't in a rush to get it. I finally found time to care today, so I decided to download it.

Usually, my reviews go into detail on each song, or at least point out what I like or dislike about the song being reviewed. After that, I give a review of the album as a whole. But that's just the general format. This review won't be like that.

The review will be in black below [for those who don't want to be spoiled]. Highlight the area below this to read the review.</font>

Like Linkin Park, or something.

RIP In Flames

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>After listening to "Dead God In Me" and "The Quiet Place" back to back, I cracked up laughing. The before and after makes comparing "Master of Puppets" and "St. Anger" a piece of cake. I'd rather have my scrotum ripped from my body than buy the new In Flames single.</font>

[The Icon of Elisim]

I liked Reroute to Remain.

Does this mean that I will like this new single or is it even more toned down than Reroute to Remain?

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>Take Linkin Park's general songwriting approach [with all the electronics and techno], remove the rapping, add a few Korn style riffs and Korn style vocals.</font>

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>By this point, they've forgotten the meaning of guitar solo. There's not even a signature In Flames melody passage, and in the song "Borders and Shading", there's barely any melody at all.</font>

[Kane Knight]

You just don't udnerstand the genius of Linkin Park and KoRn...

<font color=teal>Man, if it sounds like LP I might have to check it out.</font> ;)

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>Check out their song "Dead God In Me" and tell me if you're a fan of it.</font>

[The Destroyer]

Hmm, I'll wait until I hear it for myself, but I'm even less enthusiastic about the new album than before now...

[The Destroyer]

Oh dear. :|

"Interesting" would be one word I would use describe it... although that's drifting strongly towards "rubbish".

[blake639raw]

In Flames suck. Check out The Crown or Dark Tranquility.

[The Destroyer]

In Flames suck. Check out The Crown or Dark Tranquility.
The Crown suck for trying to erase the fact Tomas Lindberg sang on one of their albums from history.

[Jason Cage]

er...where can I get it from?

[asphyXy]

In Flames suck. Check out The Crown or Dark Tranquility.
<font color=969696>Tranquillity is spelled with two Ls in Sweden, and The Crown's latest album isn't exciting.</font>

[asphyXy]

er...where can I get it from?
<font color=969696>Soulseek... where else?</font>

[The Destroyer]

Oh, and if you look, two other tracks off the album are also leaked. They're not much better, although one of them does show promise... let down by a horrible opening riff and some dodgy production/mixing though.

[Jason Cage]

holy hell, 25 minutes to download :|

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>The single has three songs on it. That's what I reviewed.</font>

[Funky Fly]

In Flames have made exactly 3 songs I like.

[The Destroyer]

It's not actually the single, it's actually an album promo.

The single is going to have a totally different tracklisting.

<font color=969696>I seem to have forgotten how to care.</font>

[The Destroyer]

You got me good. :(

And sue me, I'm pedantic. :rant:

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>I like to know all the facts too, but this was In Flames' last hope gone to waste.</font>

[blake639raw]

Best In Flames song = Dead Eternity

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>Dead Eternity is up there. Jotun and Lunar Strain are my favorites.</font>

[Silent]

I like most of the Colony album, and the Whoracle album as well.

"Dialogue with the Stars" is a good song.. doesn't Vintersorg have a song called that as well?

[Joeleosis]

Jesus H. Christ. I was just going to take asphyxy's word for it, but I got curious... and wow... seriously, I thought I was listening to Linkin Park for a second. How the fu</>ck does a band like In Flames degrade to something this bad? I agree, this hardly compares to MetallicA. :nono: All three songs = garbage.
