This cd was my first In Flames cd (now I have Colony, Jester Race, and Clayman), and in fact my first death metal cd...I couldn't think of a better start than this cd. I bought it after hearing Jotun which remains my favorite In Flames song so far. However, it took me a while to get used to the screaming vocals, and to this day I'm still not crazy about them, they can really ruin some absolutley wonderful songs. However, some songs (Episode 666) they add a dynamic flare that makes you smile. Overall this is one of my all-time favorite cds, having a perfect balance of beautiful guitars and bone-crunching vocals. The drums get very annoying, he does nothing of interest throughout their cds which dissapoints me since i am a drummer myself. Overall: 4.7 stars and a very decent buy.
