Spoiler warning? It's the last song of the thus far 3 album long concept/saga that reflects on a lot of the events and reveals some major twists so... if you care don't listen to this first?
I'm listening to metal alright, the chugging sound of four pistons displacing two litres each, the vibrations of the boat and the clatter of cutlery as vibrating.
I've been listening to this album on repeat at work since its release and it's awesome. With each album they change a little more and this continues their move away from traditional melodic death metal. With that being said, it's fantastic. I can see why fans dropped off after Come Clarity, but damn they still kick ass.
@SoulFallen, I know you're an In Flames fan. What do you think?
I'm not really a fan of modern in flames I like the old stuff. Haven't listened to the new album yet, it's not high on my list of priorities because I'll probably just be dissapointed again. Seems like with every album their guitarist gets lazier.
Yeah I can see why. So much of their music has changed. I thought the music was at it's laziest in A Sense of Purpose. They just didn't seem to be trying at all with that one!
Its much too easy to make money creating mediocre music for the broadest audience (lowest common denominator) possible, especially when you already have established name recognition. These days, you poo out a demo and then feed it through the make-this-sound-good machine and your good to go.
