Hell yeah every single song i hear from these guys i love. saw them at WOA and it was awesome, though i was way too tired and cold to enjoy the gig and had to leave, and what better time to do that than during "The Chosen Pessimist"? hahaha. top 5:
5.The Hive
4.Delight and Angers
3.Take This Life
2.Cloud Connected
1.Embody The Invisible

I'm actually surprised someone else besides me likes The Hive. It's a great song to play on guitar too, you should try it.

that will fuck up your tuning when you want to tune back to standard, aaaaand if you forget it like that for like 3-4 days it is possible that it can do permanent damage to your neck given the truss rod's job to hold the neck straight

Oh god! I have to get rid of it then. I have one of my guitars on standard tuning and the other one on B tuning which is even lower than that lol

In Flames i trust! fuck, i'm so angry i missed their gig here back in March, they completely delivered. whatever festival they're doing next year, I'M FUCKING THERE BABY!! i missed almost half of their set at Wacken because i was too cold and needed to get my sweater PRONTO and missed the 2 epic last songs, Take This Life(catchier than any Metallica chorus) and My Sweet Shadow.

My Sweet Shadow is the best concert closer one could ever ask for from these guys, yeah i was annoyed by the synth too but now i FUCKIN LOVE IT.

I like their most melodic songs like.

Moonshield
Satellites and Astronauts
Ordinary Story
Free Fall
Cloud Connected

I remember when i first played Delight and Angers, i was like HOLY SHIT how can this sound so awesome when everyone bashes it senselessly and beats the "new in flames sucks" dead horse to no end???? i thought, just like with Bullet For My Valentine, that it's gonna be some crappy emo-driven shitfest. instead, just like with BFMV, 'twas love at first sight. metalcore(in BFMV's case) and melodic metal with a solid pair of BALLS (unlike many a poser TR00 black metal band) and some excellent guitar work.

Haven't really enjoyed much IF has put out recently but I'll give the latest album another go sometime. It's not even because of all the bashing, they've just become too formulaic and I've moved on to other bands, really. Used to listen to IF a shitload.

Swim!

Swim!

Dude, post more than the fucking song title in a comment. If that's all you're gonna post, don't even bother. If you like the song, that's fine, but say what makes it so good atleast.

Take time to reflect upon the simplicity of a song entitled 'Swim', in comparison with the depth and content of its lyrical theme

Unlock forgotten skills
Travel to a new dimension
Solace from the dark seduction

The sees are deep
You better swim
Don't go numb

As we're heading for the throne
Connect, evolution will begin

I must say Food for the Gods is one of my favorite songs from this band

In Flames is my favorite band, listened to all of their early albums, liking some of the newer stuff as well.. I think ive listened to pretty much every song they have produced.


1. Borders and Shading (Live we trust): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6QbeKE2_Lk
2. Artifacts of the black rain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCEkuRTW7us
3. Colony: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXxN3fuGmaU
4. December Flower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLPXAcAsLgo
5. Clay Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNDknB7UpFo


Some others;

Jotun, Satellites and Astronauts, The Hive, Pinball Map, System, Swim, Drenched in Fear, Suburban me, Wafaerer, March to the Shore, Sleepless again.

Jotun is a really fun song and Gothenberg at it's best
Also December Flower is great.

Old In Flames is some great music, but new In Flames is ok but sounds a little bit to screamo for me...but thats my opinion.

I used to be a HUGE Clayman fan, that album just kicks ass...obviously the albums before it also but Clayman has some of my fave In Flames songs on there, especially "Pinball Map" and "Satelites and Astronauts".

It seems to me the song Biosphere from Subterranean has a lot of Iced Earth influence in it.

I really like the acoustice piece from the '93 promo, but I wish it was just a little longer. My favourite is definitely The Jester's Dance. Fairly simplistic, but in a good way. Bullet Ride is pretty cool as well. I like the intro most of all, but overall it's a great song.

In Flames we trust
my first concert was at their...loved it...they're one of my favorite
I like the new and the old...some songs are just boring like "the chosen pessimist"
but fav songs:only for the weak,alias,cloud connected,take this life & everlost,part II

First song i've heard was World Of Promises and from that day they are one of the best bands i've heard. favorite albums are Colony and Clayman.

Jesper was such an important piece of the band, i hope they can carry on without him.

For this band the only album i like is Lunar Strain and the EP Subterranean. By far their best creations.. i remember i used to listen these ones and then i checked some of their lastest work and i almost puked, personal taste... nothing to compare with the ones i mention. blame the line up changes i guess

I haven't heard these discs in ages, guess i lost them somewhere , i'll try to listen at them again

btw.. i know there is not a original In Flames member anymore...

Lunar Strain and Subterranean are both really good. I wouldn't consider either to be the band's best work. Colony is really a generational album with excellent material from start to finish. I do however like Mikael Stanne much better than Anders Frieden.

Nope,after Clayman,they started their new sound in Reroute To Remain.

i guess for some people it kept sounding nice.

I'd say
1.Pinball Map
2.Crawling Through Knives
3.Only for the Weak
4.Take this life
5.Clayman

The first album I heard by In Flames was actually the live album "The Tokyo Showdown". Which I bought on a whim. After hearing that, and falling in love with it, I had to check out more of their stuff. I bought "Clayman" first, then "Whoracle" and "Colony" shortly afterwards, and all are simply great albums. The Gothenburg melodeath sound at it's finest. <3

I thought "Come Clarity" was a mostly awesome album, and a return to form after being underwhelmed by their previous 2 albums. I still havent heard "A Sense Of Purpose" yet though... lol

Written by GamlaSonn on 22.10.2009 at 13:35

Jotun is a really fun song and Gothenberg at it's best
Also December Flower is great.

"Jotun" is truly an awesome song, and also great fun to play on guitar as well.

I'm glad someone agrees with me about Come Clarity. I think if you like Come Clarity then you will like A Sense of Purpose. You should definitely give it a shot.
