In Flames has been around for over a decade already and their style has changed drastically since the beginning. They started out straight up melodic death, ventured into, dare I say it, almost metalcore, then God knows what. [i]Come Clarity[/i] is their best release since 2000s [i[Clayman[/i]. Don't get me wrong, the production on the past couple albums has been phenomenal. Very tight, great mixing, and some keys/synth in the background for extra atmosphere. Unfortunately, their actual music was very lacking. With [i]Come Clarity[/i], In Flames has managed to fuse their playing and music from earlier releases with the production and mastering of their later releases and I gotta say, I love it. My personal favorite songs off this album, the title track, "Come Clarity", "Vacuum", and "Vanishing Light". Note: there are 2 copies that are available across the US, standard and limited edition. The only difference is the limited edition comes with a DVD of the band performing the album in the studio (sans the last track) with the album recordings dubbed over. For the extra one cent at Amazon.com, there is no reason to not pick up the limited edition.

This is a badass CD, you have to get it if you like metal.
