 (23 Customer Reviews)
Garnering a respectably sized international audience with 2004's SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR ESCAPE, Sweden's In Flames followed up two years later with another fierce set of forward-thinking metal on COME CLARITY. As always, the Scandinavian ensemble deftly mixes various strains of the genre, incorporating thrash, hardcore, and death metal to create a formidable whole that's unremittingly aggressive yet still relatively accessible. This is due in part to vocalist Anders Friden's focus on melody, occasionally playing down his tortured screams in favor of straightforward singing, as best revealed on the propulsive "Take This Life" and the plaintive title track. As committed as ever to scathing guitar lines and jackhammer rhythms, In Flames produced, perhaps, its strongest and most confident outing yet in COME CLARITY.

In Flames never went anywhere. RTR and STYE are both solid albums; musically diverse and amazing in their own right. But there is a swing back to a little more straightforwardness on CC, which will please some old school fans who are a bit more on the close-minded side regarding music. Anyway, two burners open the album, assuring fans that they are still the kings. "Leeches" is a great song. Then a sweet little number called "Reflect the Storm" comes in, with a pleasing mix of angst and melody--a truly memorable chorus--again showing their seemingly endless platter of creativity. The token slow song is the title track...it’s got plenty of balls though, and a great solo, a-la Murray/Smith; another example of how IF are simply peerless at this style of music. "Pacing Death’s Trail" is also a great track—excellent guitar work and the signature snarl of Anders. I also love the chorus in "Crawl Through Knives." The album closes with the longest song...clocking in at over five minutes and with a little piano. Though they did spend a little too long on the atmosphere--the vocals don't kick in until somewhere after the three minute mark!
I must admit though I do miss the keyboards and overall experimentation on the last two albums; though I love CC, I am not sure it will replace RTR or Colony as my favorite ones. Still, this is an impressive release and surely one of the best in the genre, if not THE best. It will also be nice not hear people continuing to complain about Anders' voice; it sounds like he really spent a lot of time honing it and it never sounded better--both in the sreaming and singing styles.

This is the same old stuff going on and on...
Cool double guitars ( the only thing good about the album), ozzfest friendly choruses and screeching vocals (can't tell what the heck he is saying!) and the occasional clean vocals to appeal to the little girls that want to look cool and blend in with the guys listening to metal.
In Flames have fallen victim of the mainstream machine and have fallen to the level of mediocre bands like Trivium and other trendiness.

Come Clarity album
 $12.99  
Could this actually be European death metal's bid for a pop culture coup? In Flames already has a reputation as one of the best, most melodic death metal bands to come to power in the Euro-metal regime that has swept through countries like Sweden and Norway since the early to mid-'90s. However, with Reroute to Remain, Strömblad and the gang have now unexpectedly announced that they are also undoubtedly the most experimental of their brethren, and furthermore, that they have set their sights not just on broader horizons, but perhaps even complete world domination as well. Maybe that sounds like a huge exaggeration, but even one spin of the 14 songs here will prove that it very possibly may not be. It's obvious that the band has been listening heavily to the popular American metal (nu-metal, rap-metal, etc.) acts ...
