It's like Anders says...

There are always signs..."

I actually had to google what does a hobbit look like. That is how unfamiliar I am with the whole LOTR thing.

On topic for a moment (I know, wtf?) the chorus for SOAPF (title track) is lyrically probably the best thing they've done since Clayman. It's a real glimpse as to what Anders was (and still is) capable of when he isn't whining about being misunderstood. The title track is really strong as a whole, great opening, solid verses, a chorus that actually sounds good despite the clean sung vocals and an excellent solo.

Really? I mean I think it's great, but I'd probably say a lot from Come Clarity and Reroute are better lyrically.

DE4life · January 17th, 2012, 12:12 PM

I like most of the Come Clarity lyrics, but they're very direct. Nothing wrong with that neccessarily, but I wouldn't say they were especially creative.

I've never believed R2R's lyrics to be great. Possibly because compared to Clayman they're stripped down, but a lot of the lines on Reroute don't resonate with me. Anders has tried to be clever on songs like R2R (title track), Trigger, Minus, Dismiss the Cynics... but to me there are too many empty lyric lines that can be interpreted in too many ways. A lot of the R2R lyrics seem to lack a distinct focus, whereas SOAPF's lyrics are generally very focused.

To be fair, R2R has nothing as poor as "And I don't care what you think!!!! Or maybe I do

" ... but I was only talking about the SOAPF chorus anyway

^ Festival? Old and new stuff? Good luck with that

. Suppose if they're headlining you might get a few gems.

^ Awesome. On a slightly related note, DE4Life, are you on Songmeanings.net? I saw a post on the page for Artifacts from d_e4life...

Patric Ullaeus filmed In Flames show at Metaltown, and he also filmed them on the 13th of June, on the Metaltown stage, apparently. A new video is in the box. I think it's "Fear is the Weakness".

Bloody hell, I'd totally forgotten about that site. That probably was me, I probably posted it something like 8 years ago though?

Just had a look, and it's actually 9 years ago

2003, jheeeeeze. Before STYE had raped my ears, good times. But yes, that was me.
