I just downloaded the new In Flames single.
 

<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

<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>

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?

<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>

<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>

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

*BURSTS OUT LAUGHING*

One of my e-mail contacts once seriously used that one me.

<font color=969696>Civil Atrophy: In Flames = dead
Civil Atrophy: I downloaded their new single.
Civil Atrophy: It's worse than Passenger.
l MoRTiFeRouS l: wtf
Civil Atrophy: Want to hear how gay they are?
l MoRTiFeRouS l: lmao
l MoRTiFeRouS l: k
Civil Atrophy: Here [one of the songs in a file transfer]
l MoRTiFeRouS l: WTF
l MoRTiFeRouS l: LMFAO
l MoRTiFeRouS l: LMFAO
l MoRTiFeRouS l: LMFAO
l MoRTiFeRouS l: chill Anders getting worse and worse
Civil Atrophy: Yup
Civil Atrophy: Chill "melodic death metal" band having no melodies...
l MoRTiFeRouS l: and almost Nu-metal riffing
l MoRTiFeRouS l: lol
l MoRTiFeRouS l: and techno type of shit
Civil Atrophy: It's worse than Passenger, like I said.
l MoRTiFeRouS l: dude, its like how could this band write lunar strain? god damn.</font>

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

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

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

Oh dear. :|

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

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.

er...where can I get it from?

<font color=969696>Tranquillity is spelled with two Ls in Sweden, and The Crown's latest album isn't exciting.</font>

<font color=969696>Soulseek... where else?</font>

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.

holy hell, 25 minutes to download :|

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

In Flames have made exactly 3 songs I like.

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>

You got me good. :(

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

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

Best In Flames song = Dead Eternity

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

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?

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.
