Funny that you all mention Scar Symmetry, because I tried no later than yesterday to get into this band, by listening to their stuff on Youtube. I failed. I just don't "get" this band.
Regarding In Flames, I actually liked everything they did until Reroute to Remain, included. At the time, I thought "Alright, fine, they are sellouts. But good ones." Now they just don't seem to know what they are doing anymore. That said, I liked ONE track of their last album (was it their last ? I lost track.), "I'm the highway" I think it was called. It was OK.
