Free Music Notes for Reroute to Remain
Free Music Review: Refreshing. But not Impressing
Hit: 4 Stars
In Flames is rather new to me, and its the only album by them that I own so, unlike other fans, I can't compare it to there old stuff. It's a strange blend of mainstream metal, progressive metal, and hardcore that is very cool to listen to and I'll get more of In Flame's stuff, but this album was not as solid as it could have been. The songs are all different, but they deffinatly started running out of ideas by the end. If your looking for singles; Trigger and Cloud Connected are the only reccomended ones. They are great songs. Free Music Review: Decent album
Hit: 4 Stars
I have listened to inflames since soundtrack to your escape came out and began buying the albums in reversoe order including clayman, black ash inheritance/jesterace, trigger. I like the variety best on this album, the guitars are strong and rhythmic and the choice of background sounds is more of a compliment than a drag. I like this whole album except for maybe some of the last songs in the line-up. I give it four stars since the album has good energy and lingers into atmospheres I can listen to. Free Music Review: Their best album.
Hit: 5 Stars
Personally, I think this suprasses Clayman, The Jester Race, Come Clarity, Whoracle, Soundtrack to Your Escape, Lunar Strain, Colony, Artifacts of In Flames...This is by far my favourite In Flames album.
The build up to the choruses are done so perfectly. The vocals, guitar work, drums, and bass come together so freaking well in this album.
I can't write this review without mentioning the choruses on this album. All of them are unbelievably epic, creating a wall of sound while Anders screams, yells, and sings in the background, making for a very powerful sound.
I can't recommend this album any more. Brilliant. 5 stars.

Honestly, I dont enjoy this CD as much as "Come Clarity." Maybe thats because I havent listened to this 1 as much, but this is still a pretty good cd for what I've heard so far. The song "Trigger" is by far the best song on this cd (in my opinion). That song is the reason I bought this CD. I suggest "Come Clarity" first, and if you like that one, then go ahead and pick this up. Free Music Review: I Wrote This Back In 2002

Well, it has finally arrived. Trepidation filled my being as I gave this disc a listen. Despite all of the talk of this being In Flames dip into the mainstream, I really wasn't sure what to expect. Were we going to hear a nu-metal record? Was I going to hear hip-hop beats and scratches? Was Anders Frieden going to rap over funk samples? Was the record going to be yet another hour-long mallcore rant on how terrible parents are? Were they going to be on TRL? Was Carson Daly down with them? AHHHHHH! The suspense was eating me alive. That was until the opener and title track blasted my fears away with the kind of deft riffery that you'll hardly hear on MTV. Yes, In Flames have edged ever so slightly into a more accessible sound, but they aren't rockin' the suburbs yet. The only thing I hear that might turn die-hards off would be the choruses and the clean vocals that often appear out of thin air. Anyone who thinks that this type of experimentation would poison In Flames' music should skip to tracks like "Drifter" and "Trigger" which are propelled into the stratosphere by it. Then croons come out of nowhere, yet find a way to belong, and the more you spin this disc, the more they grow on you until they usurp your expectations of everything In Flames can and should be. The thing I love about this record is despite the new manuevers that are displayed here, the exquisite manipulation of the harmonized guitar riff that In Flames is known for remains intact. In fact, aside from the final song, which is bit of a dumbed-down sell-out of a tune (One suspects that it was tacked on at the end as an afterthought),the songs (Even the quieter ones) all groove with an immense, frost-bitten majesty. As I listened to Reroute To Remain, I found myself getting lost in the band's dreamworld time and time again, only to be awakened by the alarm clock that is the last track. Just as they did with their four previous studio monoliths, In Flames keep finding ways to make their unique alloy work. Theirs is an elastic, malleable metal that always seems to weave its way into every type of composition without being cumbersome. I could go on and on about the bravery that is to be found here, but yet, like a good mystery, I don't want to give anything away. All I can say is that we haven't lost In Flames, at least not right now. They may have changed somewhat, and arguably even matured, but they haven't forgotten or disowned their roots. In Flames have shown me that they are still innovators, and if they become the next big thing at this point, I think the metal and rock scene at large would benefit from it.
