Get it if you consider yourself a true In Flames fan
I must say that I became an In Flames fan since I first heard the Whoracle album a few years ago, since then I liked so much In Flames and I bought all their albums, they are a very talented band, but when the single trigger came out I wasn't shure if I should get it because I've read some bad reviews, but then I told to myself: you have doubts about getting this single? and you consider yourself an In Flames fan? then I picked the single and I must say I didn't regret it, this single is a gem, first we have the single for trigger a great song from Reroute to Remain, then we have two new songs, I believe one of them is a cover, watch them feed and land of confusion, both great powerful tracks in the most pure In Flames style, then there's the remix of cloud connected which is a very enjoyable alternate version of the original, and then the karaoke version of moonshield, first time I heard it I didn't get it much but after listening to it a couple of times more I started to apreciate it, and finally the the two enhanced videos for trigger & cloud connected make this single a complete and worth having CD for In Flames fans.


A short snack well worth
You will be pleased with the cloud connected remix, and moonshield we all know is a great tune! . Its not a bad purchase if your a strong fan of In Flames.


In Flames is great


Otherwise, The progression of In Flames is a journey in of itself. To educate PhattMatt58, the song that In Flames covers on this album is indeed "Land of Confusion" by Genesis, it is not just another song with the same name, had you actually listened to both songs you would know this. Those who don't like a band after they change or evolve really need to pay more attention to the music and not like it for just the way it sounds like so many others do. People grow up the same way bands do. Some age better than others. And I say In Flames is aging very well.


Not bad, but....
I don't know what everyone is talking about them sucking since this album, because I think it's pretty damn killer. I like Trigger and Cloud Connected, and I think they're some of the catchier metal songs In Flames have done. Not bad for an EP, but you'd be better off just getting the Reroute to Remain album. BTW, Land of Confusion IS NOT a cover of the Genesis song. I thought that also at first, but there are NO lyrical connections whatsoever. Don't believe me, then look it up. It's just a song with the same name. .


As good as "Soundtrack"
I know most die hard fans think that Clayman was the last of great In Flames, but I'm of the camp that the Reroute to Remain era was just as great. In flames was really at the top of their game right here. This really is a must have for anyone who's stayed with In Flames as they've progressed.

The Land of Confusion cover proves that the depeche mode "Everything Counts" cover was just the beginning of what could be an entire disc of incredible covers.

"Watch them Feed" is the 'standard' In Flames newbie. Its very strong and worthy of being on any of their albums. The fact that there are 3 songs unique to this disc makes it hard to pass on.

You'll also dig the remix of Cloud Connected if you like any techno/electronica. This disc is really evidence that In Flames is much more than a cookie cutter metal band. Something their versatile fans have recognized all along. If you love Reroute to Remain and Whoracle (2 discs which I group together despite the 2 albums in between), you'll love this. .
