This is it. The infamous album. The album where In Flames definitely left the underground and joined the mainstream. The sound could be heard on the "Cloud Connected" single released prior to this album (which is strange because this is one of the least interesting tracks on the album) and caused quite a stir in the metal press. Some hailed the new sound, some hated it, but the fact (as seen from this time distance) is that the whole thing was exaggerated and the change isn't THAT drastic. It is just the next step in the speeding evolution of their music. Listen to any track from "Clayman" before these ones to see what I'm talking about.

There are always going to be debates about whether In Flames have sold out or not. People are always going to slate the newer material whilst praising the older. Personally, I enjoy all their discography, I see their change as neither good nor bad, but just as a simple evolution. In the late 90s and early 2000s In Flames were probably my favourite band. Today, although I still enjoy listening to them from time to time, they have somewhat lost some of their appeal. However, one album sticks out and never ceases to amaze me, that one is Reroute To Remain.

always had a soft spot for this one. one of the first albums that got me into metal. holds up nicely to this day, some great guitar work and so many catchy choruses.

Yes. It got bashed back then (too modern sell-out blabla), but it's a really great album ineed

I think In Flames wanted to broaden their fan base by changing their musicality through the embrace of the latest metal trend back then. Unfortunately, their approach did not appeal.

It's more melodic and has a bigger focus on catchy choruses for sure, but it's by no means a "sell out" record or anything like that. Great record overall and has a good balance of dynamics between the heavier and softer elements.
