Title: Not their best but... (3.5 stars)
Product review: Damn people, give this album a little credit. I mean they are still In Flames. On their worst day they are better than 90% of heavy acts out there.Comparing them to American Nu-metal acts? This is just foolish. In Flames is way ahead of any "nu-metal" band out there as far as technicality, heaviness, creativity, ect, ect.I don't think "nu-metal" even exists anymore (I never cared for that idiotic categorization anyway). People should quit using the term. Korn is dead and buried. Slipknot altered their sound. No one cares about all those those moronic Roadrunner bands anymore. System of a Down is way to original and important to be called nu-metal.If anything, maybe the new In Flames style fits in better with the new american metal movement. Here I'm talking about bands like Killswitch Engage, Unearth, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Lamb of God. Bands that aren't so bad to be lumped with.And a sidenote, this album still rocks the crap out of the newer Soilwork release.
