In Flames is no more a traditional melodic death metal. With this album they finally reached something that could stand for a totally specific, "In Flames" style. It is still heavy and there's a lot from their death metal heritage, but all this go to the background. What stands out first of all is melody, emotion and the songwriting style that reminds more of a rock band than traditional metal outfit. If you love heavy music, at the begining this album might seem too soft, but the feeling only comes from the fact that melody is a driving force. So you need to listen at least few times, to really appreaciate what's on this disk. The songs are trully solid. The sound construction is inspiring, original, without the metal stereotypes and standards. Basically, it's one of those rare records that goes much further than the definition of any style or trend. It's just good music, standing on the contintent of contemporary metal, which has as many different "countries" as there are good bands! To summ it - In Flames created an album that will stay. It's really worth trying.Read full review
