entertainment forum>I just downloaded the new In Flames single.
asphyXy 07:55 PM 02-08-2004
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.

Like Linkin Park, or something.

RIP In Flames

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.

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?

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.
asphyXy 10:15 PM 02-08-2004
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.

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

Man, if it sounds like LP I might have to check it out. 
asphyXy 12:03 AM 02-09-2004
Check out their song "Dead God In Me" and tell me if you're a fan of it.
The Destroyer 04:57 AM 02-09-2004
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 09:16 AM 02-09-2004
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.In Flames suck. Check out The Crown or Dark Tranquility.

er...where can I get it from?

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

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 03:13 PM 02-09-2004
holy hell, 25 minutes to download
asphyXy 03:16 PM 02-09-2004
The single has three songs on it. That's what I reviewed.
Funky Fly 03:19 PM 02-09-2004
In Flames have made exactly 3 songs I like.
The Destroyer 03:19 PM 02-09-2004
It's not actually the single, it's actually an album promo.
The single is going to have a totally different tracklisting.

You got me good. 
And sue me, I'm pedantic.

I like to know all the facts too, but this was In Flames' last hope gone to waste.

Best In Flames song = Dead Eternity
asphyXy 04:19 PM 02-09-2004
Dead Eternity is up there. Jotun and Lunar Strain are my favorites.
Silent 06:44 PM 02-09-2004
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 fuck does a band like In Flames degrade to something this bad? I agree, this hardly compares to MetallicA. 
All three songs = garbage.
