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.

Really???? I love In Flames, but that album itself isn't close to even being the 2nd best swedish album of the decade. Is it even top 10? There were a lot of amazing swedish albums. Come Clarity is a good album, but that's it, good, not great.

That depends on the school of thought one belongs to. If you consider 0 to come after 9 then yes, if 0 comes before 1 then no.

May be, but I don't quite think the year 2000 was the last year of the nineties. My opinion on this news is urrgfgssdgadgg.

This list is weird... Why HammerFall, Opeth, Amon Amarth or Dark Tranquillity doesen't appear??

There are a lot of swedish bands with better albums than Come Clarity.

why should you be ashamed, it's just the point of view of the magazine and its readers.

The non-swedish artists list is just awful.

Also the Swedish one with FOUR entries for Kent. Seeing 4 out of 10 makes me wonder if the bands mentioned ar eht only Swedosh ones

I've heard a few songs from Come Clarity (I think three at least), and while I believe that I thought the title track was nice, the other two were good, but not that great. Chances are it wouldn't be a top album for me, but I wouldn't mind hearing other songs. It looks like the mainstreamists of Sweden like to dwell on In Flames, though. If I were Swedish, there is somehwat of a chance that I would be sick of hearing about them, but I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. Whatever the case, these polls don't matter, but at least it was a poll, and not decided by a few "music experts"; that is unlike certain magazines that like to prove they are experts but fail in doing so with such lists.
