  • Good song, bad album. Although I kinda liked Sense of Purpose, and I'm definately into Come Clarity but I still think In Flames was at their best in the 90s and early 2000s. Sounds of a Playground Fading is like a mixed bag for me. It has some good songs like Deliver us and Sounds of a Playground Fading (the song), but most of it feels kinda forced. After losing Jesper they lost a lot of their heaviness. Anders' voice is too clean, the riffs aren't powerful enough and it's not that melodic.

  • I saw these for the first time a couple of months ago with Trivium, they were fucking amazing live!

  • Why in the name of FUCK. does this only have so many views.

    I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

  • people keep talking about In Flames changing their sound... I think this is the best In Flames I've ever heard, enough that I bought this album. I will definitely check out more of their older stuff too!

  • THe epicness of this song.. is too damn high!

  • Thats a damn good album

  • The chorus may be the most catchy thing I've ever heard.

  • they are in a pariswheel... " i cant make sense of this, but we are here today! " hahaah ^^

    fucking love In Flames<3

  • I miss the dreadlocks!!!!!!!

  • That is freakin great. Filming a music vid in a carousel.

  • It seems that In Flames are going in a circle, starting as very raw melodeath, evolving into more refined melodeath, adding experimental alternative to the mix gradually, and then this seems almost like a reversal, it's not their old work by any means, but it's certainly closer, nonetheless I've loved pretty much everything they've ever made and this album is a work of art.

  • People who say the new stuff is bad are clearly stupid. IF is such a unique band and every album they have sick riffs and a different sound. It only makes them that much more talented. They are really masters at what they do. Listen to a song from each album in succession, it's really cool to see how they've matured and evolved over all the years. When you listen to In Flames too, crank the shit outta your speakers. It makes a big difference when you're immersed in the song! In Flames for life!!

  • Anders, you better sit down or somebody's gonna get hurt!

  • Savresno.

  • Oh shit, David Arquette has a band? Who knew.

  • 1:11 I'M NOOOT ITALY!!!! (You sir, are right.)

  • Like the solo

  • Been listening to metal for more than twenty years and play. These guys are the best out!

  • wacken 2012!!!!! geil geil geil

  • They literally just made ferris wheels so badass.

  • well I think their old ones and old ones are both great thumbs up if you agree

  • The hate is there because firstly, they ditched melodies and replaced them with shitty synths. They ditched the harmonized twin guitars and rhythm guitar. Anders can't sing and he can't scream well anymore and he can't growl anymore at all. What else... hmmm their lyrics went from profound verses to just more personal strife and emotions, and the last time I checked that isn't in Metal. I'm just glad the drums don't drown out everything anymore. Ewww. And at least the solos are back.

  • @strikingchaos1 well at least they had a good run and rocked out and have accomplished many things that thousands of ppl dream of doing.. they live there dream! haters dont Phase them! they are still the same People who made there older albums so if you hate them now just bcse they changed there sound a little then you are a true asshole no need to hate them just bcse they changed a little just dont listen to it anymore! go listen to the older stuff ^_^

  • @SeigeMode2012 oh and In flames Seems to be pretty metal to me

  • @SeigeMode2012 i mean if you were face to face with anders i doubt you would be saying all that shit to his face or his band... " yea anders i dont really like your songs anymore the lyrics are emo and its just not metal last time i checked" he probably cock slapp your face and tell you to go make sumthing better then

  • IN FLAMES, We trust.

  • ofc - when you love the style of music they did years ago, you are aversed to the style they`ve got now. fortunately all their albums (including sounds of a playground fading) met my "taste". (anders friden - get back your hair!!! )

  • @KePKeZKeM85 he can't, he's going bald lol, why do you think he cut them in the first place and he wears a cap all the time =P

  • @4stringedninja Im not hating on In Flames, I've been listening to them since i was 9 but really, i dont have a problem with a band evolving over time, i have a problem with it totally changing its sound. In that case it's normal to lose fans. There's no doubt the old albums are better. 

  • sry the vocals are horrible. The music is good as always but vocals ...in flames is still a great band with great musicans and i would like it without the vocals ;)

  • Who the hell would think to shoot a video with the band on a ferris wheel with fireworks? I don't know...but it's pretty freaking cool! Ha! Go In Flames.

  • I think Anders looks better without the dreds.

  • They just expanded on the Trigger EP. Obviously the haters never even heard that one!

  • Quit bitching about the 'new' In Flames, dont like this style, gtfo and move on.

  • there is no old or new In Flames there is only ... In Flames!!!!!

  • for those people who say this isnt in flames anymore: you are right it isnt old in flames but nevertheless it is awesome music. i really like the newer ones even though the classics are my favorits. it is just natural for musicians to experiment. its called progress so get over it !

  • It doesn't matter if you hate their new stuff because there are more people who like it than will ever know your name. After more than 20 years of making amazing music they can do whatever they want. They're living their dream and making people happy while you're behind your computer whining about it. I personally love every single album.

  • Love the video , love the song , love in flames ! haters ... GTFO!

  • I don't get why this album is supposed to be them selling out. It really isn't that different from their old albums. Melodic intro, followed by fairly heavy verse, build-up, catchy chorus, harmonized lead, catchy chorus, followed by epic win. Jester race was before the line-up was finalized anyway.

  • @kindashredding people gonna whine about every new album just for the sake of whining

  • @kindashredding Well Said. I love all their albums. 

  • This song is great

  • Разрешить написание латиницей

    and why they do not make a video for sounds of a playground fading ? =(

  • Great song!!love it

    

  • geiles lied, scheiß musikvideo

  • only 195860 views??? wtf!!!! what is happening in this world!??? SHITTTTTTT!!

  • ...some rounds more please!

  • Know what? I loved In Flames before and they're just as awesome as back then. Different? Yup. Worse? Not at all.

  • Theese guys are better now then they were, Like Maiden, like Slipknot all the huge band becomes better and better so shut up about they are sell out they do what they think is funny to make, Maiden have said that they wanna experiment and find new ways to make music with each albumms which resulsts in better and better albums.

  • Saw u in Sthlm with my girlfriend, we broke up one week ago, but somthing stays in my heart! IN FLAMES!! We trust

  • @tomjwrr lol ärlig kommentar eller för skoj skull?

  • who cares if theyr sellout or not, i mean who would not want to have money!? people saying that bands are sellouts and ignorant fags

    i mean whats wrong with having money ? so grow up fucking fags saying "oh no theyr sellout"

  • For me the best songs are:

    1. Deliver us

    2. Trigger

    3. Delight and Angers

    But i like all of them

  • Listen to this song in 8-bit... just awesome :D

  • I likey! but definitely love the drive they had before ..clayman,crawl through knives,dark signs and even Metaphor were great and still great songs..love to see that edge again like; Take this life! awsome speed and edgy adrenaline! that's what METAL is made of and need a lil more of that and I'm at the next show cuz I seen em live before and they have played a setlist of my dreams at Ozzfest and was a perfect show love em live and will always! great band! \m/

  • I like the both, the older and the new. And I can´t Wait to them on Wacken Open Air this year. \

    \m/

  • I love the new style of this band! A while ago I didn't like them due to the deathmetal touch ("screaming", you know), but now... Wow!

  • love it!

  • i like it :)

  • People will for always complain as soon as something changes, those who are afraid of changes and not able to think outside the box are the ones thats sitting now, hating on a band they used to love. Go with the flow, things change and if you don't like it? well, sucks to be you.

  • @Mrlowket fuck. what are you talking about. Classic in flames represents lateral thinking! If all you mainstream guys follow the flow then fuck off with this world. Twilight of the gods is nearer as you think. You fanboys are the ones who can not think outside the box. You prefer easy mainstream music

  • @tobbessen

    Okay keyboard hero, chill out, the world is not coming to an end.

    Now, mainstream guys..? I don't listen to mainstream unless it's good music which it rearly is. Seems like you are just hating this kind of music because it's mainstream, but if this song would be underground then you'd love it.

  • In Flames performing a great new album song in a gigantic In Flames - Ferris wheel!

    WHAT THE HELL CAN BE MORE AWESOME?!

  • It's fun these dudes used to play Death Metal. Anyways i like OLD INFLAMES That's the main reason i don't want this band to change because i like more the old stuff!!

  • @ExtremeAggressioN1 if they'd stay the same dude...it'd be boring as fuck, and you'll be asking for a great band like In Flames to perish along with any other acts that "just play old songs"...it's not like they're gonna stop playing the songs that made em what they are today...music changes just like people...change for the greater good, or get fucked by change from resisting it...you're choice, you're grave lol. If you can't accept what bands do, then you weren't a true fan to begin with.

  • @TheIranxican Look at AC/DC they are still great and play the sound that made them great, or Megadeth...

  • @ExtremeAggressioN1 Ac/Dc got damn boring. Ac/Dc mayne is just not creative enough, btw : AC DC ARE REAL SELLOUTS.

  • omg omg omg omg this band has evolved. pleeeeease not!!!!

    /irony off

  • if i am heavily drunk i would allow this masterpiece go on . If im not i will immediatly click on the true IN FLAMES track instead of this poor metallica-did-same-mistake-at-­94-to-be-fresh-again piece of shit .

  • In Flames is not sellouts!

    They are not reborn!

    They are not bad!

    They are IN FLAMES! And In Flames I trust forever!

  • i think its NOT BAD :C

  • Struggling in a world undefined or destroyed

  • I like the new approach on this album..Tired same ol sounding riff's..This was good mix to me.

  • OMFG in flames are dead

  • @maus1112 In Flames are reborn idiot

  • @Sebbelonius13 this is not death core you idiot o.O

    the old stuff was melo death metal ... -.-''

  • @maus1112 No you are an idiot...go listen to Death core and gtfo!

  • Only thing i dislike with this new stuff is the soft guitar sounds.

    This shit is amazing live.

  • this band was and will still be great band

    by a true fan

  • the truth is, I is IN FLAMES and i don´t like my music by myself... that´s the really truth of all

  • Fucking bullshit, hating either "new or old" In Flames? Cunts

    Love In Flames from their first album to now! Will never stop loving the music that the band creates!

    // Bless from Sweden!

  • in flames kicks ass new and old

  • Pues a mí me gusta.

  • OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • I dont get all the hate on In Flames. Uuuh sellout! old in Flames is better bla bla bla.

    I dont get it. Do these ppl want em 2 make albums that sounds exactly like Clayman or The Jesters race? If they did that ppl would stop listening 2 them

  • @4stringedninja i agree every in flames album is diferent thats wy there awsome :D

  • @4stringedninja That's what's wrong with metal today... just because you keep the same style, doesn't mean that all songs sounds the same? It wouldn't get boring, it would only be awesome if bands kept the same style, but only evolved. I liked this album, but Come Clarity and ASOP was bad, imo.

  • @4stringedninja Look it's not about experimenting. It's just their modern stuff sounds like nu metal/alternative rock bullshit. When you have MDM bands like Kalmah, Amon Amarth DT etc. It's really hard to listen to this. It's just so painfully obvious that they are trying to copy commercially successful crap.....

  • @4stringedninja Oh and this guys got me into MDM in the first place. Big fan of their old stuff.

  • @4stringedninja Exacly!! I love OLD and NEW in flames! and i don't give a shit about changes! Of course I prefer the old Melodic death metal which is undoubtedly the best there is, but everything in life changes.. People get old and sometimes does not already have that will to do what they did a few years ago! \mm/

  • @4stringedninja you hit the nail on the head bro! bands evolve over time and In Flames is a prime example of this. As for the sellout part and the band going more "mainstream"....name one band that has this sound. Just one. There are some that might come close, but all in all, there is none!

  • @4stringedninja i allready got (the originals) of "clayman", "jester race", "whoracle" and all the others at home... why should anyone want to buy a record that is sounding the same to the ones allready owned? If i want to hear "the old" ones, i listen to those i`ve got - but if there`s something new (like in EVERY in flames album) i will buy and enjoy it. People also won`t buy starwars trilogy 3 times just because there`s a "little" bit more of digital remastering - so what? ;)

  • best metal album in the year 2011

  • Even In Flames' "Shitty" albums are better than 99.99% of popular music today x) <3 In Flames!!!

  • If you are a true In Flames fan you LOVE all there work!! ;)

  • Video is simple and Awesome!!!

    The music... is better than awesome :D

  • DUDE FUCK ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IN FLAMES. SERIOUSLY EAT SHIT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM.

  • Actually pretty good! Since their start this band has been ridiculed for their different sound and approach to music. The 1st 2 albums were too "melodic", the 2 that followed up after that were too "slow", whoracle was "ok", colony was acceptable but not as intense as their "old" sound, clayman was too "commercial" and the rest of the BS. In Flames does what they want and have been successful doing it. 20+ years and still going strong

  • 82 stupid cows here!

  • Best song of "Sounds of a Playground Fading". But all in all its a miserable record :/

    I'm missing the old In Flames-stuff...

  • their new music is more "Newcore" aswell as the most metal these days... nothing wrong with it at all, but if I could choose I would choose their music from th album clayman and down ^^

  • In Flames... like fine wine. All you 'hipsters' who have just jumped on the bandwagon, and feel it's 'cool' to like their older stuff more have problems with your hearing. Just like fine wine, they're better and more full bodied than ever. I bought their first CD new before broadband internet was even a thought, and this entire album and A Sense of Purpose I feel are their best. To each their own, but don't claim the old is better than the new because you feel that's the 'cool' thing to do.

  • @lnfturbo you are completely right, i actually started listening to them when they put out come clarity, then started moving back. there new music is just as good if not better than their earlier stuff, it just has a different sound

  • Who the fuck would hate on this??? This is heavier than a fucking bag full of obese elephants... This is fucking AWESOME!

  • REMIND ME IM GOLDEN

    THE FORTRESS ABOVE THE SUN!

  • I find the changes in the music genre of the band sounds much better.

  • every album from in flames is awesome

    

  • This is AWESOME!!!!!!

  • This song totally reminds me of My Sweet Shadow

  • Comment removed

  • no.... Thanks.... Back to the Roots Guys -.-*

  • From Lunar Strain up until Sounds of a Playground Fading, I could never complain about In Flames... having seen this when I first did... however long ago, I finally have a complaint. Anders looks wrong with a bad hat and short hair >.<

    Still, amazing music nevertheless.

  • @TheGeneralOf93 saw them 2 weeks ago and it looked like anders is growing out his hair again :D

  • @TrIggerCT Oh really? Yaayyy. :D

  • @TrIggerCT I saw em this summer, was awesome ofc, but then he had cut it :D

  • @123rezax123 well, i did NOT say, he's got long hair again :D saw 'em twice. summer(short hair, cap)winter(longer hair) but tbh i dont really care what type of haircut mr. andérs prefers :D:D

  • For a long time I was upset with In Flames for their decline with the last few albums. This album is their redemption. Great stuff.

  • 81 people aren´t IN FLAMES

  • this is very nice song! i like it(Y)

  • @1:36 he's hitting the toms while you hear a crash xD Nontheless awesome vid

  • @Bruja501 i know.. the guy who edit this failed >.<

  • In Flames is the best Band of the Word. From the beginning till yet is the music fucking great !!!

  • this band is amazing, metal mixed with a crazy mid-evil sound

  • why you not on Spotify anymore???

  • Ya sure In Flames have changed a lot, but they still have awesome drums, guitar and vocals...

  • I have no idea what the top rated comment means wtf like like like

  • I´m not hating on new In Flames, hell, i listened them when whoracle was brand new. But I will say that Jesper´s absence is easily seen/heard, and that´s not a good thing to me.

  • old in flames was beyond better than anything ive ever heard ... it was godlike ... new in flames is still good and i love them idc how old they r its the ppl making the music not the music itself ........ idc about how it sounds weter it be melodic deathmetal or .... the new inflames hard rock style ... its fucking in flames !!!!

  • @iitzelit3 Couldn't have said it any better myself :)

  • this video is so well done. its very simple yet complicated.

  • Anders is scared of heights and fireworks. XD

  • Metalsingers shouldnt be allowed to wear such stupid hats!

  • only in flames make a ferris wheel to a roller coaster

  • Awesome music, awesome video... Probably one of the best!!

    You've surpassed yourselves this time guys!!

    It is specially nice to hear Anders's unique voice a bit more in the new albums and the lyrics are definitely more important now.

    And Björn seems always to be smiling ;) I noticed that the first time I saw IF live at Heavy Mtl this year. Could say I find him quite a handsome guy ;) That beard!! That awesome BEARD!! ;p

  • So THAT'S why there were fireworks that night at ~9-10 pm this winter :O I remember being at work and I was like.. wtf?! Now I know why :D If I'm right
