Favorite CD- Eve 6- It's All In Your Head
4 of 5 found this helpful This is their most mature CD, lyrically and instrumentally. They have developed greatly since their first CD, the one that they produced as high school students. And like 'Horrorscope,' which contains the great hit "Here's To The Night," this CD contains a couple ballads. "Girlfriend" is a song about a heartwrenching break-up and "Friend Of Mine" is a great anti-suicide song. These boys can sure play some great rock music that has a lot of meaning.

In Flames Continues to Evolve
1 of 2 found this helpful A lot of metalheads these days have little to no idea what commercial viability, nu-metal, or emocore are. I see all these adjectives thrown out to describe In Flames latest effort, "Come Clarity", and none of them ring anywhere near true. So, instead of pasting a bunch of vague and often incorrect genre labels to try to describe this album, I'll use specifics and concrete examples.
First off, In Flames, if you don't know, are a highly influential band that, along with (most notably) Dark Tranquility and a smattering of followers, defined the Gothenberg sound of melodic death metal. Essentially, bands like Soilwork, Disarmonia Mundi, Callenish Circle, et all pretty much owe their existence to In Flames, and I'm pretty sure they're sick of hearing it. Sorry guys, you know the score.
Though their sound has evolved, their newest offering shows a culmination of all the changes and experimentations they've done on their newer releases, coupled with the straight-up melodeath they helped pioneer. Crushing, heavy death guitars that break into melodic interludes, screamed verses that make way for absolutely devestating grooved choruses, often so catchy someone needs to deem them illegal. To the delight of a lot of people, the synth leads they really started messing around with on their last two albums have been cut back quite a bit, used sparingly and to great effect.
Indeed, In Flames has come back from the critically lampooned "Soundtrack to your Escape" and the polarizing "Reroute to Remain" with a hybrid of their earlier works and those releases. All throughout the album, the Swedish pioneers deliver 12 tracks of energetic and, quite frankly, inspired metal. The entire band sounds re-energized and ready to kick your face in, and they do it quite well. You can scour around Youtube and drop a listen to the video they released for "Take This Life", and what you'll hear is a summary for the rest of the CD.
If you want it as brutal as possible, and if some clean vocals scare you off, look elsewhere. However, if In Flames has ever caught your attention in the past, and there were even a few moments on "Reroute to Remain" that made you want to hit up the nearest circle pit, you'd do well to check this album out. It's writing is rock solid, the performances are inspired, and the songs themselves showcase the sound these guys have been looking for.
Excellent effort.

Ah, The Essence of Everclear
3 of 4 found this helpful If you are interested in getting into alternative/ grunge rock, Everclear is your best path. And this CD, although 8 years old, is the way to go. Why?Every single song on this CD is memorable and catchy, but without being trite. The title track, "Father Of Mine," and "Everything to Everyone" are quite poignant. Art Alexakis, the lead singer/ songwriter of the band, writes about his life and his experiences and you can feel this very strongly in these 3 songs. Also, the last track contains a hidden song: "I Will Be Hating You For Christmas." This CD is excellent and you should pick up a copy for you and a copy for your friends!
