Yeah, though for me their peak is Colony. Similar sound, but I like the songs even more.
Jester Race for me, by far.
Yep, no doubt. I know we discussed this before but for me, throw in the Subterranean EP too, and you have close to perfection.
Love Whoracle too…then Colony a bit of a step down for me but still great. Clayman another little step down, but also very good. Reroute to Remain hasn’t aged fantastically well, but I enjoy it well enough and it’s a fun album overall. Then things start getting shaky. It’s not just the change in style…I’ve tried many times and failed to connect with the material. Even Come Clarity, which gets a good amount of praise, I rarely revisit.
As for the latest one - I agree that there isn’t much of a return of old In Flames, except for a few riffs and a couple of acoustic breaks. I do however find it to be ok. Overall more enjoyable songwriting.
Tim:I’m surprised you don’t like Jester Race at least. I’d think it’d be right up your alley. The guitar riffs and melodies are as good as it gets.
