Well I finally checked out "Deliver Us", the lead-off single from the upcoming In Flames album. It was... well... frankly I'm not exactly sure what the fuck it was.
I know the old In Flames is dead. I know that Jesper Strömblad's departure can't have helped matters. But evidently even the lukewarm newish In Flames has ceased to be. This was worse than A Sense of Purpose. This was downright depressing. I see no hope for this album. My only wish is that there is at least one good single on it, since I already know I'll end up buying it anyway and it would be nice to have a little something to justify the purchase.
Tell me, am I being too harsh or is this really as bad as my initial reaction tells me it is?
After The Haunted's latest, I just don't think I have the stomach to listen to this. And that album was positively hyped before its release, while the In Flames one has been met with trepidation and cynicism. I think I'll pass, completely.
