Release Notes:

Here's the album a lot of us have been waiting for. COME CLARITY!
Props to QTXMp3 on the promo. However their tracks 11 & 12

correct song titles. Enjoy this album over a month early! <3

Buy this album when it comes out and support the artists.

After the musical brilliance and Swedish might of IN FLAMES'
"Colony" and "Clayman", it would have been damn near impossible
for future albums to measure up. Initially unsure of "Reroute to
Remain", the infinitely more melodic follow-up to "Clayman"
ultimately hooked me and I ended up enjoying it immensely. But
"Soundtrack to Your Escape" lost me. Perhaps a bit unfairly, after
a couple of listens to the modernized, effects-laden follow-up, I
put it on the shelf and basically ignored the band thereafter.
Upon revisiting it, I find that it isn't nearly as bad as I first
thought, but a longing for the "Clayman" era probably unduly
influenced my distaste for it.

At first skeptical of the advance CD of "Come Clarity", it took me
one listen to become a believer again. This may not be a true
return to form, but it unequivocally succeeds in taking the
aggressive, twin-guitar bliss and up-tempo aggressiveness of the
classic works and retaining the catchy, broader appeal melodies of
recent albums to make it a damn fine IN FLAMES recording.
Programmed effects are still utilized, but to a much lesser degree
and only for accent purposes.

The rejuvenated sound of the new effort is apparent right from the
start, as album-opener and first single "Take This Life" speeds
forth with a crushing rhythm section, precision harmonies, and
memorable chorus. And it doesn't stop there. With a few minor
exceptions, "Come Clarity" is a near perfect combination of
speed-kill ferocity and infectious melody. Only the most jaded
(and delusional) fan could lucidly argue that songs like "Vacuum"
and "Versus Terminus" do not match the aggression and intensity of
the group's heavier material. The only difference is songwriting
maturity and an impeccable sense of melody. The combination of
deep hook and cutting guitar interplay on "Crawl Through Knives"
is one of the album's many highlights. That the band so deftly
marries vintage IF song-structure with the angelic voice of
Swedish pop sensation Lisa Miskovsky on "Dead End" says so much
about the band's creativity. Had I not heard it with my own two
ears I would never have guessed the boys could make it work so
effectively. While I'm at it, the title track is another example
of first-rate songwriting. The ballad-esque cut is by far the
mellowest of the collection and it too is stunning. The entrancing
tune features beautiful acoustic guitars, a soaring melodic lead,
and melancholic chorus. Simply put, "Come Clarity" is packed with
ass-kicking, catchy tunes.

If you believe that IN FLAMES ended its metallic relevancy after
"Clayman", then I'm not sure "Come Clarify" will convince you
otherwise. It should come close to changing your mind though.
Let's face it, the band does not make the same album twice.
Regardless of comparisons to past glories, "Come Clarity" is an
excellent album.
