Yeah I got what you said, but Iron Maiden as Iron Maiden appeals to me more than Jester-Race-era In Flames, so I don't more from Jester Race.
I wouldn't say that new In Flames appeals to me as much as mid-era In Flames, Colony through Come Clarity.
Well Colony to Come Clarity covers a whole bunch of sounds from more traditional In Flames, to whatever Reroute was (some kind of alternative melodeath slash nu-metal) to the faux-industrial Soundtrack to whatever the current stuff is. I wouldn't even like to speculate on what In Flames are now. I'd take Clayman, Reroute and Soundtrack over Colony, so I guess there really is no accounting for taste in the context of In Flames.

Come Clarity isn't really like the current stuff, whatever the hell In Flames is currently doing, it's somewhere between Reroute and Clayman. After Come Clarity the stuff is more alternative than Reroute or Soundtrack. I'd say mid-era In Flames is sharply divided into two groups, Clayman and Colony and Reroute and Soundtrack, with Come Clarity muscially falling between the two despite coming after them. Anyway, yes, the distinction is pretty arbitrary as I prefer Whoracle to Jester Race and A Sense of Purpose to Sounds of a Playground, I just like the stuff closest to Clayman/Come Clarity the most.

Finally listened to this in its entirety. Great record, but the excessive praise this album received - and continues to receive - created expectations that just weren't met.

Great music, not too big on the vocals though.

It's a very Melodic and enjoyable album, I particularly liked the songs "Moonshield", and the title song most, and I really enjoyed the main riff on "December Flower".
In Flames best album Without a doubt Imo, but I always thought DT were overall the better band, but that's just my personal preference.

I dont know about flawless but this one was my first touch with MDM back at the time of the album's release. I will always hold it up high just for that.

Absolue masterpiece of a record, amazing use of acoustics in the likes of Moonshield and The Jester Race and bangers from front to back

I'm ashamed to say I had not listened to this album and I love MDM. After spinning it for the last couple of days, yeah, this is excellent. "Moonshield", "Graveland", "Dead Eternity", "December Flower" are all absolutely fantastic. Clayman and Come Clarity are the only IF albums I really checked out, time to check Whoracle and Colony.

Indeed, time to check out the latter two. If you turn out to like all these four albums you definitely need to try Reroute to Remain too. It is kind of the link between Clayman/Colony and Come Clarity, and it is a great album (their last one), though not as great as the former two, if you ask me.
