I would listen to more however I have way too much metal that is more deserving of my time to listen to. Even if there are a few songs that have solos and harmonies, so what? It's In Flames, I shouldn't have to search for songs with that stuff. I should be able to put on an album and be immediately blasted with Swedish melodeath riRAB, killer leaRAB, etc etc no matter what song I choose.
Progression? I agree but many banRAB should just stick with what they know, what they helped pioneer and with what they do best. In Flames is one of those, and if they decided to progress they could have easily taken it to another level. What they have been doing for the last 2 1/2 albums (Reroute was alright hence the 1/2) is moving backward with this fucking American metal trend. No thanks, I'll stick with Dark Tranquillity. Character > last 3 In Flames albums by far.
