On the otherhand, Clayman and In Flames' previous works > any Dark Tranquillity.

Not really. In Flames is my favorite band but The Gallery is superior to Clayman even if I like it. DT and In Flames are 2 great band. but DT now>>>>>>>>>InFlames now.

Wow, this is some crazy debate but Im going to have to say that Clayman is one of my all time favourite albums. Character and the one song I heard from Fiction are amazing, but Clayman just has the essense of a band who really found their sound at the time. But Dark Tranquility has consistency and hasnt really progressed too fast (if it aint broke, dont fix it)..................fuck now Im just on the fence with this one.

^^^^^Now this motherfucker knows what he's talking about! Clayman's my favorite album all time, along with Rust In Peace, so maybe I'm a bit biased...

Dark Tran > In Flames imo, even though i've know in flames much longer.



I think this and character are better than every album by In Flames, except maybe

colony. In Fact, i'll do my best to list every dt and if album in order from my fav to

least fav. Ones not included i don't own.



character

fiction (still can't really decide, but im going with character because of "lost to

apathy")

colony (these top three are really close)

Jester Race

Clayman

Damage Done

The Gallery

Whoracle

Projector

Come Clarity

R2R

Lunar Strain



Yeah, i only own 5 Dark tran so far, and 7 IF. Other than the last three on those 12

albums, each of them are amazing, and very close together. Dark Tanquillity and In

Flames are both amazing bands.This Message Edited On 04.25.07

Arghhh, blasphemy. Oh well, no use arguing, they are both great bands. But Come Clarity is a great album, and putting it under R2R... no.

Luner Strain

Projector

Reroute to Remain

Soundtrack to Your Escape

All you left out were lunar strain by IF and Minds I by DT, but both aren't spectacular (i havent heard minds i but the so ngs i;ve heard from it sem lackluster compared to most DT)

Left out Lunar Strain and Subterranean cuz they had Mikael on vocals, and I don't have the Minds I so it would be wrong to judge it.

hmm... i've heard that this band sounds like Opeth? if they do i might check them out.

I like Opeth for their melodic guitar riffs... wonder if DT is like that as well.

Shattered_Future, give the album a chance. It's not supposed to sink in right away. Misery's Crown is just meant to be melodic and really dreamy, at least that's the way I hear it. To call the track "lame" is going a bit far (you do have a Kamelot avatar :p)

(I like Kamelot)
