As an owner of every album In Flames has made, I can't say this one is less impressive than any other. As for the reviewer who said he doesn't buy albums "to hear someone's emotions or try to relate to their pain" -- well, FYI, that's what music is often about. Musicians are supposed to be emotional rather than cold. If their music reflects their experiences in life, so be it. They should communicate passion for something, some kind of intense feeling(s) - otherwise their artistry could be considered fake. If that's the case, they might as well go find a job that requires nothing more than robotic monotony. If you don't find their music entertaining, that's fine. Don't listen to it. Buy some other group's albums. In Flames won't care. After all, if you've seen one of their shirts, on the front it asks: "Don't like In Flames?" The back reads "Eat a bag of (four-letter expletive for feces)."
