I saw them in concert a few years ago but I couldn't get closer than 15 feet. So this song they played/recorded during covid was done right across the street from your house?   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little jealous. I saw them open for Slipknot at the Amphitheatre at Lakewood Atlanta Georgia. Some girl high on something laid down and started playing with her diddles so I missed some of the Slipknot concert while I tried not to puke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything beyond that is like listening to recordings of my grandparents *******. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Flames was just the most egregious one because they basically started writing bad pop music. I actually love what Dark Tranquillity did from 'Projector' onward because it significantly expanded the scope of what was possible to incorporate into a metal framework. Katatonia has effectively conquered every style of music they've attempted - even their weakest album is a 3/5 for me. At the Gates lost me with 'Slaughter of the Soul', but they have the excuse that their most creative member left the band. I'm not a big fan of Opeth's post-'Watershed' albums (In Cauda Venenum was fine, but the 3 prior to that were boring) but it seems to me like they're now making the music they've always wanted to make, and there's no denying that their output is still very ambitious. Then you've got bands like Diabolique, Cemetary and Tiamat, which went in more of a gothic/electronic direction and did a good job with it. In Flames is the only one of those bands whose later output feels like a total abandonment of principles.

Their new stuff is utter garbage, and I don’t know if you listened to their re-recording of some of the Clayman tracks but it’s embarrassing. I agree with you that they changed their sound drastically from their first albums, but honestly I didn’t like their first albums and enjoyed the early hybrid stuff they were doing (adding melodic stuff to their heavy sound). Like I said before, Clayman, Reroute to Remain and Soundtrack to Your Escape I really enjoyed.  After that they lost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
