Like it or not, In Flames were highly influential and they deserve the praise they got.



Now, if we're talking overall legacy, well... one band has remained remarkably consistent while one has seemingly crusaded against and shredded whatever reputation they had left.

No, they didn't and their music was just as vapid in the '90s as it would be in the following decades.

Understood, everyone was wrong for the critical praise they got. Currently going back in time to redo this most grievous error.

Oof lol here we go

Pretty much, yeah.

Nah I won't get into it. Guy is clearly as arrogant as humanly possible when it comes to In Flames. Like, there are bands I dislike but at least respect their influence. To dismiss their 90s output like it didn't matter is laughable but there's no point debating it when someone is so dug into their trench.

Nah Cas is a big sweetie inside

Their '90s input is easy to dismiss because they were clearly inferior to many of their peers both in Gothenburg and in metal as whole. Calling albums like The Jester Race "good' is an insult to the notable material that actually did come out that decade.

Like I said, not worth the time. If that's what you firmly believe then sure.

Album Rating: 4.5

don't see how u can have this 5'd but can't see any redeeming qualities in The Jester Race unless ur really entrenched in being edgy

To be fair, this and The Jester Race dont have much in common

Album Rating: 4.5

Except that they're both great

How the fuck is it edgy to like The Gallery and not like The Jester Race lol.

I've heard Cenotaph before. Album is solid, didn't think it was anything too special but others may feel differently. Think I should rejam tbh. Their debut slays hard though, The Gloomy Reflection of Our Hidden Sorrows or some shit. Anyone who likes osdm should check that for sure.



And yeah The Chasm rules, never thought of them as melodeath tbh but they can def be pretty melodic at times so I can kinda see it. I gotta jam their first couple albums though, I've only heard Deathcult onwards.



Edit: My comment seems crazy out of place LOL, guess I was looking at the last page. Oh well haha

Better vocals, superior musicianship, better instrumentation, better riffs, melodies that actually develop, etc.
