My Ranking Of In Flames' Albums
Went through the entire In Flames discography, here's how I'd order it. | | 1 |  | In Flames
Colony
It's a tough call but I've always preferred the heavier, more lively nature of Colony to anything else the band have put out. | | 2 |  | In Flames
The Jester Race
This is an album that has continued to grow on me and always makes for an interesting listen. While the production isn't so great I've since been able to (mostly) look past it. | | 3 |  | In Flames
Whoracle
What this album seemed to lack for me was the haunting and effective melodies of The Jester Race, but it still had some very solid material and I'd say this is my favorite In Flames album in regards to the lyrics, themes and the concept. | | 4 |  | In Flames
Clayman
I love this album's sound but none of the tracks really hit the ball running and utilize it well enough (save for perhaps "Bullet Ride") to make it as strong as its predecessors (save for "Lunar Strain"). | | 5 |  | In Flames
Reroute To Remain
Yes, the more casual and mainstream style here isn't nearly as good as The Jester Race, Whoracle and Colony, but I feel it was handled rather well and at least gave me hope anything new would be good listening material. | | 6 |  | In Flames
Lunar Strain
For me this is a solid but ultimately forgettable album. Having Mikael Stanne on vocals is a bit different but he does a good enough job (though Anders work up through Reroute to Remain is superior if you ask me). | | 7 |  | In Flames
A Sense of Purpose
I'll probably get a lot of hate for putting this and others over Come Clarity but the more prominent melodies and slightly smoother vocal style made it a far more enjoyable and interesting listen. | | 8 |  | In Flames
Come Clarity
While there are some strong tracks here they only make up a small chunk of the album while the rest is all quite weak and have left sour thoughts. Essentially, it's a decent but mixed album. | | 9 |  | In Flames
Soundtrack To Your Escape
It was a tough call between this and Come Clarity for the band's weakest effort but despite the issues I had with the latter, the heavier, more in-command styles ultimately gave it an edge over this. Soundtrack did have some decent material but the lyrics are a major step down from its predecessors and it just feels too sugarcoated. | |

10.04.09 | Well, he got 1 right... | Bfhurricane
10.04.09 | I only just got Lunar Strain, I think it's better than most people give it credit for. | Masochist
10.04.09 | Wow, quite a bit of In Flames hate. Don't know why, but that's cool.
#1 is correct, #2 is agreeable, #8 is blasphemy. But that's cool. You did get #1 right ;-). | Captain North
10.04.09 | Eh, fairly typical ranking really, apart from having Lunar Strain so high and Come Clarity so low. | teddypicker
10.04.09 | I´d switch 3 and 4, and definitely 7 and 9 but otherwise a good list | CrazyGreg
10.04.09 | 1 is correct, 8 needs to be higher | xecutioner
10.04.09 | 3,1,2,4,8,5,7,9,6 | Poet
10.04.09 | "8 needs to be higher"
It's already high enough. | chambered89
10.04.09 | 2 is 1 | bloc
10.04.09 | 7 NEEDS to be dead last. | ninjuice
10.04.09 | CC is the only post Clayman album with more than ~5 great songs.
It is definitely not high enough. | Lappo
10.04.09 | you forgot their best release, Subterranean | Jesuslaves
10.04.09 | Come Clarity sucks. Pop metal at its worst. | chaos17

10.04.09 | You all are taking my personal ranking too seriously... | Captain North
10.04.09 | You stick up a list, expecting comments about your personal opinion. It's one of the reasons for this website - the squabble about personal opinions.
Anyway,

I'm the real odd one out. xD | Xenorazr
10.04.09 | Yet half or more of the comments say the list or *insert album(s)* "should be" higher like it's fact and their opinion is above all else. One tries to make it clear it's their own personal opinion and is met with people thinking I'm passing it off as fact. Nothing changes. | Captain North
10.05.09 | Eh, you're missing the point still but whatever. | Xenorazr
10.05.09 | I understand the point of the site but a chunk of the comments practically defeat the purpose (just look at the first four). | Inveigh
10.27.09 | I think your list is pretty good, and not TOO far off from what I would have (although I'm going to expectedly put Come Clarity a little higher).
