Storm In A Teacup: I fixed 2 In Flames Albums

Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Maybe if I do two? m/ m/
Trifolium 03.11.22	Hi Stormy! I don't know In Flames but I'm heeeeere 💕🌈
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Yay! Thread can now be considered successful! 🥰
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	It is very weird you don’t know In Flames considering the other metal you like
Trifolium 03.11.22	I know. My real metal phase was mostly during my teens, and I never checked them back then. I have tried some of their earlier stuff later on, but they never really clicked. The metal I listen to nowadays mostly is from bands I already loved 10-20 years ago... 😮
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Are you implying you aren’t a young spring wild Trifolium? If you ever do try then try the Soundtrack To Your Escape and Come Clarity albums!
Trifolium 03.11.22	No no no I'm speaking about my annual incarnations all added up into one cross-individual being. Sorry, my bad, probably needed to clarify that beforehand. Will do if I ever get to them!
MonumentsOfParalysis 03.11.22	Honestly this is a brilliant idea, and I'm going to throw this into a playlist to try it out!
MonumentsOfParalysis 03.11.22	I would have gone with an album title like "Sense of a Purpose Fading"
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Thanks monument I worked hard on it and I’m stoked to hear what you think of his order and selection. Yeah I had like 5 different titles but I went with this because of the overall lyrics and how Attic and Mirrors Truth connect the two albums well.
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	I was shocked at how well some of these songs transition to the next.
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Also I tried to get rid of all the horrible songs where Anders’ lyrics were just about not caring and being lazy with horrible wording. Tried to focus on a more serious introspective aspect of the lyrical themes of the two albums in a search to find that the lyrics could still be inspired. So I thought the Fading title shouldn’t belong, and turn it more into a theme of struggle, than a theme of burning out.
MonumentsOfParalysis 03.11.22	I'll let you know my thoughts on it! Yeah that makes a lot of sense, your album title wraps it all together creatively.
bgillesp 03.11.22	Cool idea. I feel like Chosen Pessimist would be a better closer than opener and I really miss Delight and Angers and SOAPF, but still really cool. Been forever since I jammed SOAPF
Zakusz 03.11.22	Chosen Pessimist gotta be the closer, that's their best track of the last five records
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Thanks billet. That is funny you say all that because those were what I struggled with most. SOAPF was the last song I removed from this selection and I did it with two hours of consideration. I debated forever about pessimist and alias being the first two songs but I thought about how In Flames has set up their albums before and thought maybe having a slow burn open followed by a bouncy electronic melody could be interesting and set up a build to the more fire songs and build a focus on melody, acoustics, and quality heaviness.
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Try it out Zaku and see how you feel about it being a building block for an album and how New Dawn closes things out. 🙂
MonumentsOfParalysis 03.11.22	Ah, so that explains why you didn't include Disconnected or All For Me. I really dig those tracks musically but they're not good lyrically.
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Personally I like how it is a slow song and it has qualities that make it a great opener for an album. I was surprised I went this direction with Pessimist but I really enjoy the setup.
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Yes sir monument. Was trying to consider all aspects of the music to create a good theme etc etc
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	I wanted Disconnected on here but those lyrics especially that one really bad line made it necessary to remove.
CottonSalad 03.11.22	As much as I like Sense of Purpose as is (and having Chosen Pessimist as one of my least favorites on the record), this is cool - gonna jam it later this weekend! Almost feels like it's gonna give it a modern take on the Jester Race/Moonshield vibe haha
alamo 03.11.22	interesting. personally i love asop front to back and skip the soapf tracks with cringe cleans (liberation, ropes, the attic, jester's door)
Zakusz 03.11.22	Making the playlist now, Ill let you know what I think
JokineAugustus 03.11.22	Curious to listen to this. I haven't heard either of these albums in years.
Storm In A Teacup 03.11.22	Looking forward to hearing thought!
JDubb 03.12.22	Will take a listen, but neither of these albums need “fixed”
Storm In A Teacup 03.12.22	Lol
Storm In A Teacup 03.12.22	Thank you tho JDubb
FR33L0RD 03.12.22	Nice idea, "LPs Operation Storm" ;) I know nothing of these 2 albums, my In Flames dig, is stopped at the one immediately before. So, yes, it is a nice idea that i will try, for fun. Bookmarked. \m/
MonumentsOfParalysis 03.12.22	I gave it a solid 2 listens and it was a damn great experience! The flow was spot-on thanks to your thoughtfulness of the track order. If I were to make one modification it would be to drop Jester's Door completely. Partially it's because I've never enjoyed the track, but from a more objective view it slows down the pace of the "album" right when it feels like its about to take off. A transition from Alias to Fear is the Weakness is smooth enough without the addition of that track. Plus The Attic serves as an experimental respite well enough following Fear.
Storm In A Teacup 03.13.22	Heck yeah monument. Thank you for listening and thank you for your appreciation and time. I agree with you about Jester and only included on a thought of not leaving it out but i also did see it wasn't necessary. My playlist will probably remove that one song and for me the rest is an impeccable selection from the two available albums. I feel like i did a good job of ordering the tracks and your comment helps reassure me that others also might see how it fits an entertaining narrative. 😀
MonumentsOfParalysis 03.13.22	Not a problem! I appreciate the work you put into this! This kind of concept is a prime example of why I enjoy frequenting this music community. I've been mulling around doing something similar for condensing double albums like Mastodon's Hushed and Grim and Soilwork's The Living Infinite for a while and you've inspired me to put forward more effort in the creativity.
artiswar 03.13.22	No I'm The Highway? Oh well, nice to see 1 get some love for once
Storm In A Teacup 03.21.22	I think maybe I don’t like that song, I can’t even remember what it’s like
combustion07 03.21.22	Cool idea. Will give it a jam at work tomorrow
Storm In A Teacup 03.21.22	Nice! Thanks!
