You know, taken on it's own merits - this isn't a bad album at all.
If it were released under a different band name, it'd probably get better reviews and not be compared to their older stuff - as usual.
I can never tell who the target demographic for the band is anymore though.
What other bands do fans of the current "mainstream" In Flames listen to?
>2002-2004: korn, slipknot, nu-metal etc.
>2006-2010: killswitch engage, trivium, melodic metalcore etc.
>2011+ : idk!?!?

hm, I think even on its own merits it's fairly weak
IDK wtf happened to anders but the guy just isnt even trying anymore
every song feels so fucking power-less and flat
i think everything's gone is fine
i am a huge in flames fan and i even like come clarity and soundtrack to your escape, but i just cant listen to them anymore
sadly

ask this question on 9gag instead
>2016

Personally I think anders friden is a far better vocalist now than he used to be

He screams and growls better than in the past but when he tries to sing the clean parts from this album it sounds so fucking bad.

ahh you mean live? yeah i've noticed that as well. shame really.
he'd be pretty killer fronting a heavy breakdown metalcore band, he looks the part these days and all

Yea, I mean live. It's so annoying hearing him growl and scream his ass off live and then in the studio you get 10% of that, at least in the last album.
I mean I like everything from them, something more, something less, and I just hope the next album, which seems to be coming this year, will be better than siren charms.
