Yeah it's all awesome, if you like old In Flames, go listen to The Halo Effect. They are all ex members of In Flames, truly awesome shit

@johnyang799 Год назад

@@Skiddlez3D But honestly the holo effect is not anything more in flames than current in flames sounds a lot more like dark tranquility. I guess it's thr front man that have the most effect. In this video it's demonstrated that the riffs are not that different really. Don't get me wrong the holo effect is awesome just sounds more like dt than in to me.

Colony and before...so melodic and awesome. There were some bangers after that, some I'm discovering more and more of recently (heck even "Stay With Me" is awesome) but the early stuff just hit different. And the fact that my favourite IF song "Goliaths Disarm Their Davids" isn't even on a proper album just shows how great that era was. Also, the fact that you included a bonus track for Colony echoes how their leftovers were stellar.

@Some_Guy_87 2 года назад

The Jester Race was a defining album for me as a guitar player - I still think the riffs there are the most fun to play along out of all their albums. Made playing guitar feel like singing Karaoke. It also was a big "aha" moment in utilizing harmonies in guitar playing to make lines sound great that seem rather boring on their own. Musically, I still loved everything up until Reroute to Remain (which wasn't very interesting from a guitarist perspective, but had a great soundscape. Always put that album out every winter for some reason, just went well with Christmas lighting and decoration). After that I was just burned out from them, not even sure if the music of the followup albums is to blame.
