In Flames - Come Clarity Best Swedish Album Of The Decade


Readers of the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet - one of the larger daily newspapers in the Nordic countries - have chosen In Flames' 2006 album Come Clarity as the best Swedish album of the past decade. In Flames got about a quarter of all votes, ending up as the only metal related band in the top 10. Four albums of Swedish rock band Kent appeared in the top 10 too. Top 10 results "Best Swedish Album Of The Decade" here.

Bruce Springsteen's 15th studio album Magic, released in 2007, was voted best album by a foreign (non-Swedish) artist, before Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Linkin Park. See the top 10 here.

This is some kind of BS. This album wasnt good at all in my opinion. Come Clarity is a sappy single with whiny vocals suited for emo fans.

Gosh, some metalheads can be so narrow-minded.

All you people do is whine about how much of a joke In Flames is these days and that this or that band with this or that album should have won, but you're missing the point. Look at the big picture. A metal album - regardless of the quality - has been voted best Swedish album (open to all genres) of the decade in a tabloid which has nothing to do with metal at all. C'mon, this is pretty cool.

But yeah, the readers of that newspaper have indeed a horrible taste in music. That I will agree with.

To me that's a joke. I wish this was an April Fool's prank. It's just a newspaper anyway.

A quarter of the people voted for this? Whiskey Tango Fuckin Foxtrot......Apart from this album being seriously shit and the majority of people who like this are probably 12 years old and hold no right to an opinion, if it HAD to be In Flames then why not at least go for Clayman? That still qualifies as well it came out in 2000 and is a seriously large amount better than Come Clarity...

what a joke...but then again why am I always surprised, this always happens. Metal becomes such a spoof when awards and shit are given for it...

Agreed... not the best choice. But it could be worse... they could have said A Sense Of Purpose. I'm pretty shocked that neither Opeth or Amon Amarth got the honor.

Well Come Clarity is really good.
Not that good though and Clayman should have deserved the award instead.
