If some of this is stated directly from the band, you may want to say youre quoting them. Im excited about this, but song names like "Sober and Irrelevant" make me lol.

Wow, I hope they can somehow justify that awful cover art.This Message Edited On 01.14.08

The Mirror's Truth??? Ugh...
And cover art is OK, but the Jesterhead thing is annoying.

Art's kickass if not slightly tacky at the same time. I have faith that this album will rule harder than the new COB.

Nice to see Crysis joining the act. Yes, evolution has occured. On topic, can we get an amen from the audience that this album's going to rock harder than Come Clarity, not that C.C. was bad, I just think this will improve past that.

The album art is stupid. I wish it'd been a little more like one of the recent ones.
I'm hoping for a great album, although some of the song titles are stupid.This Message Edited On 01.14.08

I really liked Come Clarity, but I have doubts about this. Im a little more excited about this than the new COB though. Is any of this leaked?

If the music is as bad as the artwork, I'm seriously going to sue them for ear damage.

I didn't like CC much apart from 2 or 3 songs and I am doubting this record will change that.

The song names arent as bad as the new bodom album honestly, but they aren't good either. Not that it has anything to do with the music.

It looks like some kind of wolf monster walking into a giant vagina with teeth.

On second thought, maybe its a secret campaign for the new movie TEETH.

Ok, the track listing sounds kinda exciting and I'm looking forward to hear the CD...
But, no joking, the artwork is just ONE MAJOR PAIN IN THE ARSE.
Seriously. Can't stand looking at it.This Message Edited On 01.14.08

Listen to all these naysayers before the album is even released. Have some faith people hahahaha.
But on a more serious note, the artwork looks like it was lifted from a newer Korn album. Need I say more? This Message Edited On 01.14.08

The premise of that movie looks pretty fucked if you ask me. I'm sure they didn't take the art too seriously.

The artwork is fine, but its not really something I would expect from In Flames, just feels awkward.

The tracklisting, really is interesting, don't see why people have a beaf with it. Do you want the song tittles to be like "Septembers Rotting Corpse" or something like that...MORE DEATH METAL RAWR!

Don't be an idiot. People would hate this just as much if the song names were something stupid like Rotting Vaginal Insects. It just sounds like they were trying way too hard with the tracklist and it came out really gay just like the album art. It just sounds like they were trying too hard to be all deep and emotional A lot of it is just like what you said, though.

It's really not that the album art is so bad (don't get me wrong, it is pretty bad), but it just really doesn't fit IF style. The cover looks like the bastard son of an Atreyu cover mixed with Darkest Hour or something.

I'm still excited about this album, though. I kept up with their studio diaries and there were lots of awesome sounding riffs. This Message Edited On 01.14.08

CC's artwork is badass...not just because I'm huge fans of everything he does (Derek Hess I think his name is...?)

Pretty much all of their covers are awesome (except for RtR and Stye).
I think this will be pretty good.. this cover art sucks.

These titles are nowhere near as bad as Blooddrunk's titles. BD's songtitles are on their own level of cheesy retarditude. They are so bad I had to make up a word to describe them.


In Flames song titles have always been kinda out there, just like Anders himself. I notice there are 2 less tracks than they recorded, Abnegation included

EDIT: What the fuck is that cover? What the hell man.This Message Edited On 01.15.08

Every rapist should be forced to sit in a chair with their eyes held open and watch TEETH.

Oh yeah, and this album art def reminds me of Korn. Just like Anders terrible singing voice.

Ya'll Want an Alias say fuck that.

I don't see what's so bad about the track names.

I don't really like the artwork too much though. :s I just have to keep reminding myself that I've liked the music on every previous In Flames album so this one should be no different.
