Advantages: Great Albumart, the solos are pure awesomeness. Disadvantages: VERY unlike the older IF, and a IF fan is probably not happy.

The CD 'A Sense Of Purpose' got weird eyes, because they made a BIG change to theire sound, ALOT of clean vocals, some deep lyrics and they STILL rock, they do. Why I don't burn them for changing theire sound?

The begin reminds of older In Flames material, but that gets changed really quickly ...

If you own the In Flames album, "Come Clarity," and like the cleaner sound In Flames adopted in that album, I believe that is the closest preview to this In Flames album, which furthers the transistion In Flames have made to an album full of songs with clean vocals and less raw ...
