A bit dissapointing but good (3.5 stars)
Immediately, the tracks System, Cloud Connected and Trigger can be identified as the albums best tracks. This album disappointed a lot of people as it strayed greatly from the classic In Flames melodic death metal style though as for me, it wasn't the straying that disappointed me, it was more the lack of good overly good tracks. Personally, my favorite track from this album is System, starting off with a fast and classic-like sand then shred and then moving into a clean and harmonic passage before another verse of fast paced growls. Cloud Connected is a new approach taken by In Flames, with less aggressive growls and catchy guitar riffs. The album also bears 2 fully clean vocal songs which is new for In Flames as it is the first album to do so, being Metaphor and Dawn of a New Day. Though Dawn of a New Day is quite good, Metaphor clearly stands out as a very nice song, albeit the annoying drumming that overly uses cymbals, this song is excellent. No song on the album is bad, though only a few stand out, unlike every other In Flames album (past and future). Personally i believe this album was essential as it allowed In Flames to see where they wanted to go with their new direction, allowing for much better albums with this new musical approach such as Soundtrack To Your Escape (yes, i do think it is better than this album, as it is an excellent album despite what most think), Come Clarity and the newly released A Sense of Purpose. A lot of people bash this, and the post-RTR In Flames albums due to their different sound, i believe the sound is great and personally adore both the classic and new In Flames, but this album lacks what the other albums bolster, being that only a few of the tracks excellent and greatly outdo the other songs, though good but not quite up to snuff. Transparent, Free Fall and Dismiss the Cynics are also quite good, but again, my main argument against this album is that, though it is quite good, it lacks the overall feel of excellence that every other In Flames album bears.


Refreshing. But not Impressing
It's a strange blend of mainstream metal, progressive metal, and hardcore that is very cool to listen to and I'll get more of In Flame's stuff, but this album was not as solid as it could have been. In Flames is rather new to me, and its the only album by them that I own so, unlike other fans, I can't compare it to there old stuff. The songs are all different, but they deffinatly started running out of ideas by the end. If your looking for singles; Trigger and Cloud Connected are the only reccomended ones. They are great songs. .


Decent album
I like the variety best on this album, the guitars are strong and rhythmic and the choice of background sounds is more of a compliment than a drag. I have listened to inflames since soundtrack to your escape came out and began buying the albums in reversoe order including clayman, black ash inheritance/jesterace, trigger. I like this whole album except for maybe some of the last songs in the line-up. I give it four stars since the album has good energy and lingers into atmospheres I can listen to. .


Their best album.
Personally, I think this suprasses Clayman, The Jester Race, Come Clarity, Whoracle, Soundtrack to Your Escape, Lunar Strain, Colony, Artifacts of In Flames. . This is by far my favourite In Flames album.
The build up to the choruses are done so perfectly. The vocals, guitar work, drums, and bass come together so freaking well in this album.

I can't write this review without mentioning the choruses on this album. All of them are unbelievably epic, creating a wall of sound while Anders screams, yells, and sings in the background, making for a very powerful sound.

I can't recommend this album any more. Brilliant. 5 stars.


in flames rocks me
" Maybe thats because I havent listened to this 1 as much, but this is still a pretty good cd for what I've heard so far. Honestly, I dont enjoy this CD as much as "Come Clarity. The song "Trigger" is by far the best song on this cd (in my opinion). That song is the reason I bought this CD. I suggest "Come Clarity" first, and if you like that one, then go ahead and pick this up. .
