Album Review
IN FLAMES probably is the most famous band that hailed from Gothenburg, a charming Swedish town. It is in this town where the band decided to record its new LP/CD/DVD, and, as if you haven’t guessed yet, it is a live recording.
I suppose playing in your home town is a tricky business. On the one hand, you can bet for the warm reactions of the crowd. On the other, Gothenburg is somewhat a safe ground for the band, a place where since they don’t have to take any risks, they fail to provide something astonishing. I wouldn’t go as far as to suggest they are on an automatic pilot of sorts. But there are times where they sound as if they have a job to do and they do it professionally knowing that the result will be digitally boosted by the production.
As such this release is addressed mainly to those who were there and of course their fans worldwide.
