Their first Jester song since Jester Script Transfigured!

Yeah, noticed that too, hopefully something special.

Indeed, I really expect that one to be good.

In Flames - In the Studio #1.

They say they spent a long time recording the album, getting the right sounds etc. which is promising. The small snippet we heard sounded like regular later In Flames, but I think this could be a good sounding record. They seem more focused in this vid, considering the DVD of ASOP, where they looked like no one had any idea.

Not decided yet if I'm gonna check the new album out, personally I feel like the albums have gotten worse for every release, at least A Sense of Purpose which is my least favorite.

wolfking · « **Reply #179 on:** April 15, 2011, 04:59:58 AM »

I think ASOP got a really bad wrap. It's on par with the rest of the later In Flames material, I never really understood why people thought it was significantly worse than their other album. Some good songs on it.

Zantera · « **Reply #180 on:** April 15, 2011, 05:05:45 AM »

Yeah but, a few good songs isn't really enough to make an album great.
The Chosen Pessimist was probably my favorite because it was so unique, but it kinda feels to me a bit like the In Flames-sound has gotten a bit uninteresting, ASOP had some decent songs, but at the end of the day those songs aren't on par with the earlier stuff.
A lot of people criticized Come Clarity when it came out, but what I liked about CC was that it had a lot of variety, it wasn't just the 'typical' formula with heavy intro>some creaming>melodic chorus>repeat.

wolfking · « **Reply #181 on:** April 15, 2011, 05:16:18 AM »

Come Clarity is a fantastic album, such a great atmosphere and really amazing songs all the way through. I will admit they sounded a little stale on ASOP, like they were just going through the motions. I still like the sound and enjoy the vibe of the album.

ariich · « **Reply #182 on:** April 15, 2011, 06:38:19 AM »

CC and RtR are both excellent albums. ASOP was good, but a little weaker than those two. The only one that was really below par was Soundtrack.

I agree, same with Reroute

Weird to read these opinions...ASOP and Soundtrack are my favorite modern-era In Flames albums. way, I'm pumped for the new one.

faemir · « **Reply #186 on:** April 16, 2011, 03:57:14 AM »

Soundtrack your favourite?

Yeah, I like them, but RTR and CC kick the shit out of ASOP and STYE IMHO. RTR and CC are just in another league.

Not quite.

1) A Sense of Purpose (shut up)
2) Whoracle
3) Soundtrack to Your Escape

etc

"Wow...this guy has really awesome taste in music," right?

That's what I thought.

Second studio report. Good stuff.

faemir · « **Reply #193 on:** April 29, 2011, 02:40:00 PM »

How can soundtrack be so high up? It's an utterly riff-recycle affair.

LCArenas · « **Reply #194 on:** May 05, 2011, 01:29:02 PM »

Ehm... I don't know what to think about Deliver Us. The beginning is OK and the solo is great, but the vocals just don't do anything for me, and it sounds a lot like Soundtrack to Your Escape.

zxlkho · « **Reply #195 on:** May 05, 2011, 01:33:46 PM »

I like it. It's different than anything they're done before, but I think it's good.

faemir · « **Reply #196 on:** May 05, 2011, 02:32:48 PM »

I really like the music, and i'm sure the vocals will grow on me - they sound better than the ASOP vocals for sure. I hated his pseudo-growl on that. (Though TCP is my fav IF song..)

wolfking · « **Reply #197 on:** May 05, 2011, 10:52:35 PM »

Where have you guys heard this song?

It was released as a single.

And might I remind everyone that telling people where to find a pirated version is against the rules.

Jirpo · « **Reply #199 on:** May 06, 2011, 03:06:06 AM »

I don't like it too much... but its not horrible, I'll give it a few shots.

wolfking · « **Reply #200 on:** May 06, 2011, 03:42:05 AM »

Just listened to it.....basically.....it's not bad. It's decent. Quite different from anything else they have done which is a good thing. Chorus is quite good and I appriciate Anders actually trying to 'sing' more. Definitely not a trainwreck, looking forward to the album.

? · « **Reply #201 on:** May 06, 2011, 07:03:44 AM »

Deliver Us isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. But I have to say, it's better than anything on ASOP, 'cause Anders isn't using the weak screaming style he had on it (and the few albums preceding it) and the production is better. Still, I think I won't buy the album when it comes out.

bodiesinflight · « **Reply #202 on:** May 08, 2011, 10:41:34 AM »

Anders' voice is just too whiny. I prefer his 'half-growl' to his plain singing on a track like that.

Other than the vocals it was, somewhat typically, uninspired but decent.

faemir · « **Reply #203 on:** May 08, 2011, 06:50:59 PM »

No way, singing > half-growling.

How else would we have the awesomeness of Crawl Through Knives?

zxlkho · « **Reply #204 on:** May 08, 2011, 06:53:37 PM »

Crawl Through Knives was so good. It was my favorite In Flames song for a while.

Me too, the screamed second half of the chorus is amazing.

I was listening to Come Clarity the other day. That whole damn album is a fucking masterpiece!

faemir · « **Reply #207 on:** May 09, 2011, 06:14:22 PM »

Come Clarity is their best since Clayman, I was a little saddened they didn't stick to that style.
