______________ In the hope to quieten some viewers' hostitliy (only because I use the word "emo" to describe some lyrics by In Flames ...), I'd ask you to read this before commenting "you're gay" or "you have no idea of metal whatsoever" (somebody else said that already!):
JUST A QUESTION:
HOW do YOU define "emo"? And why does everybody call music "emo" if he wants to offend fans?
I understand "emo" thus: a) music mainly about feelings/ emotions b) mostly pessimistic c) about what happens to people (and neither lyrics about greek myth or fantasy and dragons;nor about topics on political agendas like punk-rock prefers) d) mostly about suffering in an way ...
and In Flames lyrics match a-d ... so according to my understanding of "emo", IF write "emo" lyrics.
but maybe ...
a.) ... my definition of "emo" is a little too loose (yes, even some Gangster-Rappers write emo-lyrics in this understanding!)
b.) ... I wanted to offend those who offend others by calling hated bands "emo" ...
I love IF (all albums; except maybe Lunar Strain and Subterranean...), and still I'm fine with calling them "emo" ...
So WHY does this offend YOU so MUCH?
I NEVER said that IF have become depressive schematic gothic-metal/ -rock (e.g. AFI, Entwine, Crematory etc. (btw. I like those bands, too :p *killingcredibility*)).
"emo" does NOT equal "whiny" or "depressive"!
(which bands did you listen to to get this impression??)

Abnegation is among my favourite new In flames songs! And i agree with Scheinweltname's review in that Eraser is awesome, but Mirror's Truth is lacking a little something (probably too short), and i can't see any comparisson with Reroute's title track. Perhaps it's the melodic chorus? Is that it? :)
Well my favourite In Flames album is Come Clarity (one of the best albums ever made in my opinion). I just find the lyrics and songs to be less 'solid' in Sense of Purpose! ... songs are too short
A LOT of In Flames songs are about politics and what's going to happen if we keep moving in a certain direction. Though a lot of songs might fool you since for example "Take This Life" is not about wanting to die or killing your self, but to take care of your life, which I found rather optimistic than pessimistic!
Saying IF lyrics are emo means that A LOT of other bands lyrics are emo too, and then we can start saying emotional instead. Cause emo should not equal to emotional.
emo melodic death metal, dude what the fuck. You dont say emo in the same sentence as In Flames, it just automatically sounds wrong. And to all you people you are crying about In Flames not being how they used to be, your all silly. In Flames are In Flames no matter what. What it comes down to is the people that are TRUE fans will like them for who they are, not what there old stuff was like. You would all be crying if they DIDNT change as well
