When I first picked up Reroute to Remain when it first hit stores I was a bit shocked and afraid to listen to it a second time, not knowing if it would grow on me at all. True their style has changed, but not as much as everyone says. True, they tuned down, but they still have the same root of melodies. Anders sings his ass off in this one, clean and death metal vocals give it a nice contrast. Have they commercialized? My answer to that is no. You still dont see these guys chilling on TRL sipping starbucks. Most bands that were kind of underground are now gaining exposure from such shows as Headbangers Ball and Uranium...which isnt a bad thing. Would it be so bad if good metal surfaced to mainstream?
