liar!!!!

I can't imagine how much pain you have endured... Still, your money- uhhh loyalty must be greatly appreciated by In Flames.

+Unguided Reaper I see no reason you are criticizing him. he, at least to me, has said nothing wrong. you seem to be the asshat in this situation. and a person can listen to whatever they want and voice their own opinions. and this applies to you as well. but what you said doesnt really seem like an opinion. more like simply insulting someone for nothing because you have, what is my guess, some unchecked rage and agression that you havent dealt with. you should work on being a better person. thats just my opinion though. fucking fantastic band though. while I am privy to their old sound. their newer stuff is still great. its just a different sound. keep your volume high, your strings tuned low. and dont forget to slapp that bass.

Die hard fan! I let it and make it grow on me! I mean shit, it's all over my skin. I've got an In Flames half sleeve. I love it every day of my life. In Flames somehow kept me sane and alive through all my teenage angst, anxiety, and depression. I love them with every ounce of my body.

I started midway and love past and present 🤘

Dude, I've been thinking exactly that. Every album they've released the past 10 years or so sounds different from what came before it. Sometimes that's bad, sometimes that's good. But at least we aren't hearing the same stuff again and again and I like their creativity, even when it doesn't pay off. I for one loved Siren Charms, even though my first impression was that it was total crap. It grew on me, like you said. Now, is it their best work? No, not even close. But is it bad? Nope, not even close again. I guess people will continue whining no matter what. If their style remained unchanged after all these years, people would be saying that they've stagnated and have no creativity. To each their own I guess.

Αποστόλης Νικάκης I couldn't agree more!

Αποστόλης Νικάκης In Flames aren't doing what Lamb of God have actually done for the past 10 years now, which is releasing the same album over and over again but with a different album name each time, every single song that LOG has "produced" during the past 10 years have all sounded exactly the same as the last.

Tobi kun Agree with all of you. Im a die hard fan of clayman, and when i heard this album i nearly barfed, it sounded much to poppy. maybe im a fanyboy but it definitely grows on you. i know exactly what youre saying too about LOG +Tobi Kun, i recently listened to their discog back to back and its very very samey. still brilliant though!

***** only if there are flames to evolve with... not turds with flames spray-painted on them

100%

JUST saw them live and holy crap they were good.

well it's definitely not a popular opinion 😂

This album has a couple of good tracks just can't listen to the whole thing

Cool

I love this album. Except maybe 2 or 3 tracks

Excelente álbum

They've followed every popular style since day one. Listen to each album, and then what else was popular around that time. You'll see. Enslaved, now that is evolution. There's moving forward on your own, and there's moving forward with trends. These guys chose the latter. They were soft as melodic death metal too.

Well, this is easily the best song from the album - most of it isn't nearly as good as this. I'm okay with the direction the band went in, but Siren Charms was just a relatively weak album.

Imho. There live is becoming less good as before. Check out live Hammersmith. the punch omg. Also. the fan base is worse and worse.

their*

My appreciation for the band has been steady uphill for 10 years.

+shredurguitar I'm actually really sucked into this new sound they have. It's dreamy & intense.

Exactly, You can tell they enjoyed making music, look at the rusted nails everyone but Daniel were so into the moment but then again it's Daniel were talking about lol He looks like that in every music video lol

They always call every band a sell out when they don't like their new music. Gotta be a true fan man!

I wish I would read conscious comments like these in more videos of them. The mindless hating of their newer stuff is so fucking annoying.

Totally agree with you brother. The jester race is my favorite album but so is reroute to remain and come clarity. I dig anders singing.

I prefer come clarity forward personally

Except they were never 12 making this music. But in general I agree but progressing and making good music is 2 dif things. Their newer stuff post ASOP is just not that good unfortunately

amen completely agree. better that people change and trying new things rather than quitting.

not really for me it has to be Sounds of a Playground Fading to be honest. But the pre A Sense of Purpose In Flames were beast.

Apostolos Katsioulas SOAPF is good I found SOP to be repetitive in an overall sound In that sense, siren charms is very diverse, and the mix and master is top notch I am one of those few ones who likes siren, so 😅😬

I think Siren Charms is their most "human" and honest album, it took a while for me to fully appreciate the album. There are so many emotions in the songs (Everythings Gone, Siren Charms, With Eyes Wide Open, Rusted Nail to name a few). Yet at the same time I think SOAPF is their best album to date. It captures the modern IF sound and combines it with the trademarks of the first albums which I think is damn amazing.

Randy K. Gr8 to hear some optimism !!👍

The MXTC Guy I wish more people would give the new IF albums a real chance. In my opinion songs like Sounds Of A Playground Fading, The End or Siren Charms are just as good as songs like Only For The Weak, Trigger and Colony. It's just different. And I listen the shit out of all eras of In Flames

Same for me, I love the old stuff but siren charms is such high quality. Most "Fans" just listen to the album once and flame the band. U cant judge an album after the first listening.

I usually start to like album after 2-3 listenings, so... xD

The quality does present itself after multiple listens, as well as the layers, you can pick a lot of hooks and riffs that are peeled from all their previous work. That being said I still prefer their older stuff. though "everythings gone" is a killer song.

+Joe CHERWINSKI I agree

Silas Braun seeing it live also adds to the heaviness for some reason too

Всё верно, ничто не стоит на месте. Группа растет, с ними перерождается их стиль. Понятное дело, не всем нравится такая альтернатива. Моё мнение, что на звучание последних альбомов In Flames сильно повлиял уход их группы Еспера, всё-таки он написал много музыки того "старого", более мелодичного In Flames.

А прогресс ли это? Песни какие то вымученные, как будто писали только потому, что надо.

И эксперимент вполне удался, как уважал раньше этих парней, так и сейчас их уважаю.

Песня - шедевр. Одна из лучших у Инфлеймов. И не важно, старой она школы или нет.

mr_AtomicВ данном контексте можете и как регресс расценивать. Главное, что не стагнация.

Eu sei que já é um comentário de 3 anos, mas é sempre bom ver que existem muitos brasileiros com um ótimo gosto!

'cause it seems that they can't let the past die

Thank you, like bands change, get the fuck over it

SPHINKTASPIT I think he is just trying to tell people to stop whining over the change, and I agree its been going on for over a decade now its time stop and move on and find another band, and quit complaining about the band they were 15 years ago.

Donovan Kaiver My problem is that In Flames hasn't changed last few years. And every album I keep hoping they try something new and fresh but every album I get disappointed, and I think more people feel that way.

Jesper Strömblad left and everything falls apart....purely my opinion

Stop yelling, thanks.

The thing is, In Flames' pre-Clayman style was so unique and diverse that you can never get tired of it so you don't want the band to change We expected them to put out amazing melodeath on and on, but instead they chose to do sth different, which is completely fine. I, as a matter of fact, happen to like the new stuff aswell but I'd still rather have them go back to their old style. And then, you have bands like Lamb of God whose every album sounds very similar. I like them aswell, but after a few listens it gets really stale. That's my opinion at least.

Yea, I like the differnt In flames album, apart from a chill out album they have 1 for each mood :)

Reroute to Remain was post-clayman and was different than any other metal sound .

I think one of the primary reasons why they had to swap their style so much is because of Anders clearly losing his voice. I think it's fair he doesn't want to permanently damage his vocal chords from the screams he used to do :S. I miss the old sound too but I think the band adapted really well. Equally, they lost Jesper...either way, I still support this band no matter what. They're chill guys and I like that they're trying things out

I would rather a band try a new sound, and it not work, than stick to the same sound and just get boring. New album this year :D cant wait.

Thanks for specifying, cos' you know it could be Bono from Muse, or Bono from Queen...

This is an aged in flames. They're old men rocking out soft material. Metallica did it, their fans never bitched. You have to respect them for trying something different plus every album evolves.

THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS "Metallica did it, their fans never bitched" You must have somehow missed how just about everyone disliked St. Anger, and all the people saying Metallica sucks after they changed their sound.

THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS Me and everyone I knew bitched when the black album arrived and they had short hair. Then again i was young. Now, I enjoy music not because its heavy buy because its good. Bands change. They get older. If you dont like it then stop listening toa band after they make the first album.

Corey CPlusPlus I like everything, bitch

In Flames is not dead. The only thing that is dead is your love for the band but you still seems to care about them because you make comments on their new songs. If you don't like them then just go away. This song and album is amazing. Its not their best but in my opinion, I like it more than Whoracle and Reroute To Remains. We shouldn't calles them ''Old'' or ''New'' IF. We should see them as one fucking good band from the beginning to the end.

Matthew Cohn YES AND YES. I love them so much now. And ive listened to them since 98 or so

Matthew Cohn No, you're not the only one. That doesn't mean a lot of people wouldn't disagree with you. Like me. That 'first singer' - as you call him - is the legend Mikael Staane from Dark Tranquility. He has a far more 'character'ful growl than Anders in my view. And better cleans (Misery's Crown, anyone?) Anders sounds kind of whiny and weak compared to Stanne. and just kind of ... whispers his cleans? Kind of a cop out. I have pretty much every IF album, and DT too, so don't get me wrong, I love both bands, I just think Staane is the better singer. And early IF sounds like generic death metal???! WTF, Lunar Strain? I guess folky violin parts like on Hargalaten and Starforsaken is "generic death metal"??? When was the last time Cannibal Corpse did that? Hahaha! :P "They don't have as much melody in the old stuff"??? *What*, when they *used* to be *Melodic* death metal, you mean???! As opposed to 'modern groove/alternative rock', now? Educate yourself, dude!

+TheAmicableMammal I don't know man, Mikael is awesome, and Dark Tranquility has only gotten better, but his growls don't appeal to me. I prefer Johan Hegg. He's just got such a visceral growl its fucking great. Props for the knowledge though man.

+TheAmicableMammal that's the most civil Internet disagreement I've ever seen. I respect your opinion sir, have a nice day!

+Matthew Cohn Well, they were all kids when they started with the band, you know all trying to feel badass like some youtube guys over there, with the time all falls in its place.

I guess that`s why Daniel left...too much Radio Pop

+Slears clearly man, IF has become soft and pop radio friendly

I like to think he (Anders Friden) changed the bands style due to his vocals not being able to keep up anymore, rather than his personal preference. But then again, Mikael from DT has kept their melodeath style going...

+Another Amorphis Fan Yeah but if at least the instrumental part was still as good as for Reroute, Whoracle, Clayman or anything, I wouldnt complain... but, i dont know, it is so weak know...

MultiEneka Maybe he grew out of melodeath in a way. I think their newer albums are much more calmer and "relaxing" in a sense to listen to. I do miss their old stuff though. Especially TJR.

Compared with the first albums youre are right, i respect that bands explore on heavynees or lightness but this is not metal anymore

Poprock. You're right.

listen to only for the weak

Siren Charms (IF's latest album) is really not hard anymore. But the older stuff is great melo death!

+Felix (Psydator) sense of purpose and playground fading are bullshit too

Then don't listen, no one gives a fuck bout your opinion.

U2? Are you deaf or stupid?

How stupid are you?

Harrison Bone This is a pretty light and watered down In Flames. You could call it queer.

Raqubor I know, its great isn't it! Its like a different side and emotion - really interesting stuff!

It is boring, unimaginative and pretty much lazy. Even the electronics like synth keys are thrown in randomly. Very poor effort this time around, in 2017 we'll see if they actually make good songs again.

Then go listen to linkin park

THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS Nice argument.

cj397 lol why are they here if they can't stand it

whenever i feel nostalgic i listen, why? is there a written rule somewhere that forbids me? THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
