This is the 1st In Flames CD that I have ever heard (I bought it a Best Buy after hearing the song "Pinball Map"), but it won't be the last (I hope). Overall, the cd is very strong, and every song on this album is heavy, unique, and pleasing to the ear of the hardcore fan. I love the mix of death metal and melodic vocals, but it's really the overall music that makes this CD and band great.

Certainly, In Flames could be called hardcore, but while some of the vocals are classic death metal, I don't think that I would categorize In Flames purely as a daeth metal band. Strong, hardcore swedish metal is more like it.

Favorite songs on this CD are Bullet Ride, Pinball Map, and Only For The Weak.

If you like this CD, also check out Deride and the amazing "Of One Blood" by Shadows Fall.
