For as long as I've been an In Flames fan, there have been two albums from their catalouge for which the majority opinion of such doesn't click with me; namely, the seemingly near universal disdain of Soundtrack to Your Escape. (The other being that I find Clayman terrible, but that's another thread)
I concede that it's one of the weaker efforts in the lineup, but it's far from the abomination some make it out to be. (Except for that song...well, you know.) "My Sweet Shadow" isn't half bad; personally, I really like "Evil in a Closet", and "Dial 595-Escape" is in my top 10 favorites of the band.
Aside from the infamous "Bottled", the only other entry I don't care for is "Superhero of the Computer Rage". The rest of the songs on the album are at least half-decent or better, just nothing that really stands out.
Now of course, this is all just my personal taste and interpretation; the reason I made this thread is I am genuinely interested to hear a different take on the matter, and perhaps gain a better understanding of the why the album is often cast in such a negative light. I look forward to reading the responses.
