Argentina-born, California-based Gustavo Santaolalla helped shape the rock en Español movement by producing Mexican bands Molotov and Café Tacuba , and Colombian singer Juanes. In the late 1990s he made a switch to soundtracks, working on well-received albums for Amores Perros and The Motorcycle Diaries. His instrumental contributions to Ang Lee's tale of two cowboys in love are acoustic guitar-based and, let's face it, a bit on the sonic-wallpaper side.
The vocal tracks, on the other hand, are uniformly lovely, even if the selection of interpreters falls on the predictable side. Linda Ronstadt, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, and Mary McBride on the soundtrack to a contemporary Western? What a shock! Still, they're all wonderful and Santaolalla wrote at least a couple of classic-sounding country ballads ("A Love That Will Never Grow Old," sung by Emmylou Harris, and "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me," sung by Mary McBride). And don't miss Teddy Thompson and Rufus Wainwright's sweet cover of Roger Miller's 1964 "King of the Road." --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Reviews:
Axe Rufus Wainwright, and it would be 5 stars.......2007-06-13
This album is a mixture of the instrumental theme, which is incredibly beautiful and haunting, and some very solid country songs. I was surprised by how good the other songs were (you still have to like country music, though). There are only two songs that I don't like at all, and those are the two by Rufus Wainwright - one a cover of "King of the Road" (originally by Roger Miller). They are great demonstrations of him at his most nasal and whiny. It sounds like he is a French guy holding his nose and singing too slow. It's too bad, because they are good songs otherwise. I guess if you like him, you're golden; but I can't stand these versions. Fortunately, the rest of the disc is really good.
Yes, it's one of the best albums I own.......2007-06-03
I listened to it over and over and over last year. Such quality all 'round.
Brokeback Mountain.......2007-05-13
The product is what I expected. It arrived on time and in the condition advertised.
A matter of taste..........2007-05-08
I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the music in the film, except for in the most intense of scenes. Perhaps this is why I was so, completely, disappointed with this soundtrack. I felt that if it did even half of what the film did for me it would be a worthy buy. My friends, this soundtrack is shat. It's mostly country and folk, which I am plainly not into. If you like these things then check this out - if not, turn away.
Perfect, just like the movie..........2007-04-21
It is so wonderful, relaxing..if you`re thinking in buying...Just do it!

A Melodic Death Metal Classic.......2006-12-29
When a friend sent me In Flames' crushing "Trigger," I knew I had to hear more of their stuff. Being new to the metal scene, I promptly purchased "Colony" and "Reroute to Remain," which I thorougly enjoyed. At this point, I figured I should probably find out what all the buzz around Whoracle was about. One listen was all it took to know that it lived up to the hype. With undisputed metal classics like Jotun and Episode 666, the album radiates excellence. The heavy-yet-melodic riffs that give In Flames a good name make this is an absolute must have for any metal fan.
Classic of the genre.......2006-12-04
Whoracle is one of In Flames greatest albums ever and most certainly a top 10 in the all time Melodic Death Metal charts. Its great metal with a distinct mood and auora surrounding it. It has that classic In Flames folky element to it and its great stuff all the way. If your a IF fan a must own, a melodic death metal fan a must own, a folk metal fan a must own and general metal fan guess what its a must own album!! Pick it up its deff one of their best efforts and a classic sure to live on for many years as it already is today. I picked it up upon its release and its still great to listen too and I do listen to it about every other day.
True Greatness..........2006-07-18
As many have stated before this is probably the best piece of work in In Flame's growing catalog. With lots of solos, twin guitar harmonies, top notch drum work and great harsh growling vocals from Anders make this album the epitome of what melodic death metal should sound like. Just about all the songs on this album are classic IF songs that fans look forward to hearing live. The lyrical concepts of the songs here are amazing, vague enough to leave them open to interpretation but still allowing the listener to get the overall idea behind them. Which is exactly how the lyrics should work for a metal album. Stand out tracks: Jotun, Gyroscope, Worlds Within the Margin and (of course) Episode 666.
Mixed Emotions.......2006-06-11
It's hard for me to objectively judge this album. While on one hand I was a little disappointed with this album, I realize on the other hand that if it weren't In Flames I would consider this awesome. Now, when I say I was disappointed, please don't get me wrong. This album is very good and any fan of melodic death who doesn't already own it is missing a key part of their collection. The songs Jotun, Gyroscope, and Jester Script Transfigured are all incredible. Jotun, especially, is one of my favorite metal songs period. The reason I give this album 4 stars is that, on Jester Race/BAI there are NO weak songs. Everything is good, except those songs which are great. On Clayman, there is only 1 weak song (in my opinion), but here there are songs that I skip when I listen to it. The Hive would be total filler if not for the guitar solo, Worlds Within the Margin is kinda blah, Whoracle is basically just an extro rather than an independant song, and Episode 666, while kinda catchy musically, has some of the most bland, redundant lyrics to be found on any In Flames track in existence.
On the whole, this is very good, and even some of the tracks I disliked are popular amongst most In Flames fans, but in my opinion this record falls a little short of greatness.
"EVERYTHING COUNTS" IS A DEPECHE MODE COVER YOU METAL RETARDS!!!.......2006-05-26
Stop writing "Oh this such a lame In Flames' song" because it isn't!
Do us all a favor and EXPAND your knowledge beyond one genre before you speak.
As for the Whoracle album, truly awesome to say the least.

Instant Euphoria..........2007-05-18
Not only is this In Flames greatest achievement - this is one of the greatest metal albums ever written! Quality metal that is so simultaneously fast and melodic is indeed hard to come by. This album even surpasses such metal classics as 'Master of Puppets', 'Piece of Mind', and 'Rust in Peace'. Whether you like throat vocals or not (and these vocals are a unique brand of throat vocals) the songs will send you into immediate euphoric metal bliss - and the instrumental pieces are brilliant! Combine the best thrash, melodic, and death metal you can think of into one album and you have 'Jester Race: Black Ash Inheritance'. The first moment I heard this masterpiece I was hooked - if you have any love for metal then your collection is incomplete without this album.
RECOMMENDATION: Other great Swedish metal bands to check out include At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, Opeth, Soilwork, and many others. Start with this album and let your journey into metal euphoria continue...
Classic!!!!.......2007-02-21
...and that should have constituted my entire review. If ever there was an album as perfect and engaging as Metallica's "Master..." or Megadeth's "Rust..." it is this one! (yes, I am aware of Dark Tranquility, but they have yet to release ANYTHING bad, so I skip them here)! The music is so good here that no wonder ANYTHING after would necessarily have to be a dissapointment from In Flames! Yes, "Whoracle" was great,ditto for "Colony" and "Clayman", but THIS is In Flames' greatest achievement, all else in their discography is mere shadows of this masterpiece (the same can be said of Metallica and their third album). Nothing they have ever done after and before will ever top that, period.The problem is: THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE MATURED SO FAST.Really, if you can only own 1 album of In Flames, this will suffice entirely. There is absolutely no confusion what kind of music is played here: Gothenburg death metal. No core, no thrash, just death! And a melodic grim reaper at that! The knack for melody combined with the sheer power and brilliance of execution could potentially start a third World War if used in a sinister manner. Perhaps that is where my favorite heavy metal bands Dark Tranquility and Opeth take roots. In any case, if you like your metal raw but melodic, this is one of these rare perfect albums you can't afford not to own! BUY NOW!!!!
"You'll forever be stuck here in eternity.....".......2007-02-08
I remember when I first purchased this album, I thought, "Meh, this is pretty good. It'll grow on me eventually." Yeah, well, it did, and I revised that statement into, "Damn, this is awesome!" I currently own 4 In Flames albums (this, Colony, Clayman, and Lunar Strain), and while the other 3 are great, The Jester Race (accompanied by the Black Ash Inheritance EP, at least this version) is probably my favorite IF album thus far.
The music is heavy and bone-crushing, but there's enough melody and beauty (and I don't mean that in a fruity way) to make it appeal to the masses. Anders Friden is honestly one of the best metal vocalists I've EVER heard. Glenn Ljungstrom (guitar),Jesper Stromblad (guitar), Johan Larsson (bass), and Bjorn Gelotte (drums) are also great musicians, and provide the awesome melodies that In Flames can create (even though I think the bass is a lot better on Colony and Clayman than on this album). Moonshield is, simply put, stunning, as it opens up with soothing acoustic guitars and transforms into an epic-driven melodic metal masterpiece. Other great tracks are Lord Hypnos, Dead Eternity, December Flower, Wayfaerer, and Goliaths Disarm Their Davids. Of course, all of the songs are incredible.
The Jester Race is a concept album about the corruption of humankind (referred to as, well, the jester race), and how they have destroyed and ruined the earth (if you analyze the lyrics, you'll see what I mean). I believe I have the just of it, but we're talking about poetic lyrics here, not completely flat, predictable ones. The album also has some throwbacks in, such as the title track, which is reminescent of The Jester's Dance (the first instrumental). My favorite instrumental track on the album is probably Wayfaerer. It sounds a lot different from the rest of the album (and I don't mean that in a bad way). The guitar solos don't sound as bleak as they do on the other songs. Some people don't seem to like this instrumental, but I sure do. On the 4 bonus tracks (which is the Black Ash Inheritance EP that was released a year later), there's a track called Acoustic Medely, which is the title track of the album but in acoustic form. In my opinion, this is brilliantly done, and it might be my favorite bonus track. Goliaths Disarm Their Davids is another one of my favorites, very dark, yet very confident sounding, if that makes sense. There's also a live version of Behind Space from their debut (which would later be redone on Colony). This is one of my favorite IF songs to date, and the live version is done perfectly.
If there is any weak track on the album, I would have to give the nod to Gyroscope. It just doesn't seem to stand out as much as the other tracks, and it loses my attention after a while. Nonetheless, that song is still eons better than pretty much everything being released today. And it's not even that terrible of a song. The lyrics are still great, but the overall feel doesn't demand your attention as much as the other 13 songs.
So is this the best album of 1995's Holy Trinity? Well, I can't say for sure, since I also thoroughly enjoyed Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery and I have yet to hear At The Gates' Slaughter of the Soul. However, this is an amazing album to say the least. The lyrics really make you think about the world around you, and makes you question the desires of, say, eternal life (like in the track Dead Eternity, which is about living forever, never to die and be with the people you love; you're just stuck in eternity). The Jester Race is about a minority group preparing for war against a far superior and more sophisticated force (perhaps in the album's story, it's about a group of people rising up to fight the jesters who have ruined the earth). But whatever this album is about, I love it.
It's funny thinking about all of the line-up changes In Flames have gone through over the years. But no matter how many times their lineup changes, this will always remain where their lineup was strongest. So buy this album, and experience some truly unique metal.
In Flames perhaps at their best.......2006-12-04
This may be the best album In Flames ever released it is most certainly a classic along with Whoracle, Colony and Clayman. The album is itself very well done with excellent melody and rythm, awsome guitar work and very good vocals. The tracks are all memorable and this is trully a showcasing of In Flames and their work. Excellent album and deff a good place for a new In Flames fan to start off. Im not sure ive gone a week without listening to this album after picking it up which must have been back in 94 I think.
THIS IS THE BAND'S MASTERPIECE.......2006-09-19
Like drinking fine and complex wine, you will want to listen to this album over and over and over. With each sip from the goblet, a new fabric of reality is experienced and savored. Yup, it's your typical "A-class album" in your collection.
In Flames truly earns your hard-earned dollars here. The layers of harmonius diligent guitar work will leave you in awe. Wondering if you should buy this album? Have no doubts. This album has everything. Galloping thrash, multiple riffs in each track, power vocals, furious drum work, and most of all, truly unique and emotional lead guitar. WE ARE TALKING SKILLED SOPHISTICATED HARMONIES AND THOUGHTFUL COMPOSITIONS!
I can't name too many albums in my collection that feature melodious lead guitar musicianship quality in almost EACH track. Have no fears however: The melodies do not betray the utter power and aggression in this one. In Flames has a cool doomsday vision and spite for the human race that only makes their aggression all the more sincere. Audio steroids.
It is tough to say which tracks are my favorite. They each tell a "needed story" towards understanding the fate of our Jester Race!...
Track 2 The Jester's Dance and track 13 Acoustic Medley are beautiful instrumental pieces that appropriately flaunt the musical influences behind the band which are impressive to say the least. Living up in northern Europe with nothing to do but milk cows all day and listen to every metal album under the sun will do that!
Track 3 Artifacts of the Black Rain; track 5 Lord Hypnos; and track 9 Wayfaerer all have unique sounding lead guitar work that will transport your heart and soul to another time and place...
Track 6 Dead Eternity has a specific lead guitar composition that creates an emotion unlike any other in the freaking genre! It is an ominous emotion you will have to experience for yourself. It is a turning point in the album and will haunt you (in a good way).
Track 8 December Flower is pure foot tapper. Even the lyrics are geniusly positioned to compliment the rhythm chorus in this one. And just when you might think the track is too much of a contrite foot-tapper, In Flames drops a cinderblock on your head with mind-spitting speed-thrash solos.
Track 11 Goliaths Disarm their Davids is a climactic build-up of energy. The lead guitar work is inspired by the unseen gods and the vocals will leave your ears bleeding for more.
If you appreciate musicianship and thrash metal with a death metal vocalist, then you will wear out your CD like I do mine. 5 of 5 stars.

Lullabyes for staying up all night........2007-06-24
I just purchased "Sings Reign" along with "Telegraphs in Negative" today, and I have not stopped listening to them.
'Post-rock' as they call it... faux-classical as I sometimes like to cal it. It is definitely in the vein of bands such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, Lull, Noise Gate, Silver Mt. Zion, etc... Yes, there are members from GYBE in this band, and though the sounds are probably in the same genre, I would not necissarily classify them as similar. Perhaps to the untrained ear it would be considered the same, but Fire to Flames seems to veer much more towards the experimental drone/atmospheric/static/randomness in nature. If you're not sure what I mean, or think that this describes GYBE already, you will see what I mean if you purchase this record.
I highly recommend both of Fire to Flames' recordings. I feel it inspiring, haunting, calming, cerebral, and any other "makes me sound smart" adjective you can throw in there. Like I said, I have been listening to these records almost non-stop since getting them this morning, and it puts me in an interesting place. I actually reccomend this over most other post-rock I've been exposed to.
space.......2004-06-30
while there are millions of ambient artists out there, they dont have the sound that set fire to flames have. to go along with the other reviewer, there is an influence of the godspeed members but it is not at all like the albums made on constellation records. there is much more space, and mood set by eery strings and noise. it is kind of like infinity symbol of godspeeds, the more desolate, expansive sound and less grand compositions. its deff. something to check out if your into that kind of music but do not go in expecting another 'post rock' or whatever you want to call that genre. its in a field of its own pulling strings with noise artists with sampling and tape minipulation. enjoy.
If your a Godspeed fan............2004-05-28
Then you must check the album out. "flames" is made up of 13 musicians from Montreal, 5 of which are Godspeed members. You can really hear the Godspeed members influence on this album. The songs are still highly stings driven and the dark atmosphere hasn't changed at all. One of the nicest things about this album is that they decided to shorten the length of their songs. It's nice to hear them take a different approach in their song constuction. All in all, this sounds and feels just like another Godspeed album. It's powerful, beautiful and completely unique. A must listen for fans of Godspeed, Mogwai and Sigur ros.

Album Description
Desert Dwellers continue their yoga dub odyssey into the soul of the global heartbeat. Rara and Amani's trademark deep bass, earthy percussion, etheric voices and culture-crossing instrumentation meet Treavor Moontribe's insistent rhythms in this invigorating psy-chill soundscape.
When Craig Kohland (Shaman's Dream Ensemble) asked Rara Avis to compose music for a Duncan Wong yoga DVD series, Rara immediately invited longtime friend Amani to work with him. Their debut release, DownTemple Dub: Waves, was a pure reflection of this collaboration, while DownTemple Dub: Flames remixes earlier material written by Amani and Treavor Moontribe (aka DJ Treavor), the co-founders of Desert Dwellers. Both projects are the result of the Desert Dwellers collective's ceaseless exploration into the uncharted realms of yoga dub.
Like sonic incense, this spellbinding hybrid of studio and field recordings burns with a boldly modern sound reverberating with echoes of our tribal past--and future.

Album Description
On their previous release "Soul Sanctuary", the Hollywood Blue Flames - with acclaimed young blues guitarist Kirk Fletcher ably filling the shoes of the late Hollywood Fats - earned universal rave reviews including a Blues Music Award nomination for 2006 Comeback Album of the Year. "Road To Rio" picks up without skipping a beat, and includes several very welcome extras: two previously un-recorded songs co-written by Hollywood Fats and Al Blake that exhibit the roots-rock direction the band was just beginning to explore before Fats' untimely passing; collaborations with Fabulous Thunderbirds frontman Kim Wilson, as well as fellow West Coast blues guitar pioneer Junior Watson on 3 bonus tracks; and an entire cd of previously un-released vintage live performances by the original Hollywood Fats Band, including guest appearances by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson and legendary blues shouter Roy Brown! Also on board is a rare vocal performance by the one and only Michael "Hollywood Fats" Mann.
The music contained on "Road To Rio" stands on its own as some of the most enjoyable blues and roots music to be released in recent memory. Additionally, the previously unheard live recordings on the second disc "Larger Than Life" by the Hollywood Fats Band, make this album an important and historic document of musical genius whose likes we will not see again.
Customer Reviews:
It would have been better ............2007-03-12
....an AC Cobra than a Ferrari! Alternatively, a Ford Mustang. Anyway, if you liked the Hollywood Fats Band, in "Larger than life" you will find some jawdropping guitar-playing from the late Hollywood Fats. Don't miss this unreleased live recordings. "Road to Rio" is less impressive, yet the more you will listen to it, the more you will enjoy it. Indeed, not the usual "jump blues" stuff from top Blues musicians in their own right. Five stars widely deserved.
REAL BLUES.......2007-01-12
EXCELLENT BLUES CD FOR SERIOUS BLUES FANS, IF YOUR LOOKING FOR BLUES-ROCK
DON'T PURCHASE, ALTHOUGHT THIS IS A WHITE BAND NOTHING IS COMMERCIALIZED.
Love This Stuff.......2006-11-02
Some folks may not see the value in this kind of smokey blues music but I just love it. The guitar work, the keyboards, vocals, rhythm section -everything about it - just wonderful. If you have any interest in the blues and in a modern interpretation of old blues, you should try this CD. It may not be for everyone but I really think you will enjoy it if you give it try.
Infectious music with no cure.......2006-09-09
I want to play cuts from these 2 discs and their other CD, SOUL SANCTUARY on a daily basis. I guess I'll be over it in another 2 weeks, once it runs its course.
Tastes are different. My favorites, if you want to sample from these 2 discs, but remember the samples don't necessarily give the tune a chance to show how it will really get into you, are:
Disc1: Road to Rio
Everybody's Blues
Sharpest Man in Town
Let Me Love You
Disc2: Kidney Stew (exhilarating saxophone)
Cleanhead Blues ( Sexy, slinky saxophone)
The only player I had heard before was Kirk "Eli" Fletcher with Kim Wilson in person and recorded. I like his guitar playing and Kim Wilson's voice(and harp). I think this would be a welcome addition to your collection.
west coast blues goes to another level.......2006-06-24
road to rio is the best album of 2006.not just blues album,but,
of any genre this 2 cd is a milestone in the evolution of blues

Good follow-up to a masterpiece........2007-05-09
While this is not A Snow-Capped Romance in any way, it is not a letdown. It is very difficult to follow up a masterpiece, but this is a very solid cd with plenty of great moments and some killer riffs, vocals, and hooks. This is still a stronger album than Bitterness the Star, their debut. I really enjoyed it and hope they continue making great tunes.
One of My Personal Favorites.......2007-03-22
36CF latest outing is what would happen if Fist of the Star and Snowcapped Romance had a love child. The vocals are more fitting for Snowcapped Romance, while the music is more in tune to Fist of the Star.
Overall the album is solid and won't be a dissapointment, my absolute favorite moment by far has to be the excellent acoustic AS THE CITY IGNITES.
Disappointing, but not all bad........2007-03-14
I've been an avid 36CF fan for quite some time now, and have all three of the CD's. Bitterness the Star is a musical masterpiece in almost every facet a CD can be amazing. Their follow-up CD, A Snow Capped Romance wasn't quite as heavy, but still maintained the originality and musicianship of Bitterness, and was a good overall CD.
I truly believe, while Rest Inside the Flames is NOT a bad CD, that it receives much more praise than it deserves. This is the only CD out of the three that actually has BAD songs on it.. both of the first two have some songs I don't love but can still listen to. RITF has songs I absolutely can't stand listening to... about four or five of them. Don't get me wrong, there are still signs of the old 36CF on this CD with songs like "The Great Descent", but then there are songs like "Will Pull this in by Hand" that make me want to put something sharp in my ear. It's very clear that they are attempting to draw a bigger audience by mainstreaming.. many of these songs are dangerously close to "post-hardcore" which IMO is a terrible, terrible genre of music for the most part. Their older efforts combined many styles into a unique sound that was unlike any band I'd ever heard, but this CD is much more cookie-cutter generic than the first two. Like I said earlier, it does have some good songs, but it has just about as many bad ones with a few right smack in the middle.. regardless, if you are a 36CF fan, you'll want to pick it up.
All the other reviews are correct!.......2007-03-09
Just buy this CD and while you are picking up Rest Inside the Flames you might as well pick up A Snow Capped Romance AND Bitterness The Star. All 3 CD's are extremely good! Heavy as F&@K!! VERY under-rated band!
Definately Metal..........2007-03-05
I am not a big fan of metal, but 36 crazyfist is an exception to the rule. All of their albums are amazing, but this album has me wiped. Try it you'll like it.

SKSK rock.......2007-03-15
I stumbled upon this band during their tour with Mest, and I must say I was immediately impressed. Its not often that you see a band these days with a different sound, and I can assure you that SKSK is unlike other things you've heard recently. After having listened to both their albums I can assure you that SKSK have grown and matured into the band they are today, and you can only expect things to get better.
Great Album.......2007-02-09
I really like this cd a lot and I am looking forward to seeing them live.
Not complete garbage but not worth the money.......2006-07-27
Just to clear up a few descrepancies, this band is not emo and no, "emo" does not JUST mean "emotional" in terms of music. If "emo" meant "emotional music" then everything from Jewel to Luther Vandross to Barry White would be "emo". The term was coined in the late 80s and means "emotive hardcore". but regardless, this band is not emo. And please don't compare this band to Chiodos just for the simple fact that both bands have a keyboard player. That is their only similarity and comparing them just isn't fair.
Even I'll admit that when I first heard this band I liked them. I enjoyed their simple style and catchy keyboards. But the more I listened to them, the more I came in touch with the actual value and quality of these songs. What bothers me most is the lyrics. Lyrically, this band is defintely below-average. They are so full of immature teen angst that they make me believe he wrote these songs when he was a scrawny, pubescent 13 yr old. There is absolutely no depth so if you are a lyrics person than this band is NOT for you. The second thing is the guitars. This band produces the same cheesy riffs as any other band out there. Infact, the riff at the very beginning of "The Only Medicine" sounds exactly like something Avenged Sevenfold put out a couple years back! Again, it's their lack of creativity and originality that makes this band only a few steps away from being the next Good Charlotte or Limp Bizkit (creatively-wise. I'm not actually comparing the bands) Basically, if you are into really good THOUGHTFUL music the only reason why you'd keep listening is because its "catchy". But before you grab your wallet and run out to get this CD rememeber that "catchy" isn't always a good thing. After the first couple times of listening to this CD you are bored to death because the songs have become so predictable.
Bottom line = If you are wanting some really good creative music with a lot of originality and lyrics that aren't almost humorous, then use your money to buy something good like "Translating the Name" by Saosin, or "All's Well That Ends Well" by Chiodos or "Juturna" by Circa Survive. Granted those bands don't have much in common with Scary Kids, but trust me, that is a good thing.
But, if you are just looking for some cathy music that requires no active brain use to comprehend, or looking for something to play in the background of a party then pick up this CD used for like 6.99 or 7.99. Or just download it for free at [...] That would be your best bet instead of wasting your money.
A few notable tracks..........2006-04-20
I heard about these guys through PureVolume and I was impressed with the song "A Breath of Sunshine". I went out and bought the CD cheap for ten bucks at Coconuts. Not a bad deal. But I wouldn't spend more than that on it. This is the kind of music that could be considered 'emo', even though I hate that term and try not to use it, since technically all music has emotion and is therefore 'emo'. But my point is, if you don't like that screamo punk style, this album isn't for you.
Overall this was an enjoyable album in my opinion. I think the best tracks were "A Breath of Sunshine", "The World As We Know It", and "The Bright Side of Suffering". They are pleasing to the ear, and maintain a punky sound without being annoying or "over-screaming".
However, then there's "Faith in the Knife". Guh. My least favorite track. Just look at the title. Love life, dude. i.e.-Bad lyrics, IMO.
I'd say just listen to the clips and individually download the ones you like, unless you can pick up this album for under 10 dollars.
Pretty amazing concerning..........2006-03-15
Scary Kids Scaring Kids has definitely improved from their After Dark EP, their music definitely sounds more professional, and the screaming sounds better. They are pretty amazing concerning some the (...)scremo bands out now such as hawthorne hights(gay). IF you are a fan however of silverstein,old A static Lullaby, underoath or chiodos(amazing scremo or whatever-core bands) you will love these album.The singing isn't annoying, they are good muscians, and the screaming isn't overdone. So My advice is to listen to a couple songs and if you like it definitely go buy it.

A melodic metal masterpiece, and one of the best metal albums of 2006.......2007-06-27
Two words: simply stunning! This album was a turning point for In Flames, as it is the first to feature and emphasize Anders singing abilities from start to finish. Anders has a very distinctive voice, one that can range from death metal/cookie monster growls, screams, and singing. He is, undoubtedly, one of the most poignant and powerful frontmen in metal today. The guitar work between Jesper and Bjorn is fantastic with plenty o' harmonized riffs and solos galore, and incredible drum work by Daniel Svensson. The more I listen to this album, the more I am amazed by it. Many fans of their early work may not get or like this album because of the new direction they decided to take on it, but this is one of the few Gothenberg metal bands that continues to progress for the better. Too bad I can't say the same for Soilwork.
Awesome CD.......2007-06-22
original technical brutal noise
this cd just plain rocks
buy it right now
Perfect! Absolutely Perfect.......2007-06-20
People seem to think because this is the same band, but they have changed their playing style, that this CD sucks. That is completely not true! In Flames changed quite a bit. Lunar Strain was their first cd, I agree that it was a great cd. Then came The Jester Race, Their best by far with Moonshield and the album titled The Jester Race. TJR was a great album in which they really strived for an ethereal feel. Then came Whoracle, was a great CD in which they (In Flames) expiremented with a new sound of more metal riffs and just basically more perfection. Then came Colony. Colony was a great cd with those heavy melodic riffs that In Flames is known for. With introduction of the keyboards and "speaking" lyrics added ALOT more to In Flames. After Colony came Clayman. Clayman wasnt one of my favorites because it was more of a step backwards from Colony, still more melodic metal. Then the CD which really shaped In Flames into what they are today, Reroute to Remain. With melodic, very heavy metal, with introduction of chorus in almost every song, this made this CD a killer. This is where people start saying In Flames SUCKS. In Flames, does not SUCK in any one of their CD's, its called expirementing. Anyways...Reroute to Remain was more of a down to earth view of human problems. Instead of thinking of space, and the meaning of everything, In Flames started focusing on what makes the humans and their universe around them tick. The song "Black & White" explains the differences between good and bad, saying that "there is no room for two, the scale might be wide, but there is no need to be blind, between black and white, there is no room for two". This really emphesizes the idea of the connection between humans and the universe. In the album Soundtrack to Your Escape In Flames, still focused on human imperfection and relations, really used the keyboards and heavier riffs. Songs like "My Sweet Shadow", "Evil In A Closet", and "Dead Alone" were really the killer songs in the album, some of my favorites. Some people say StYE is their (In Flames) weakest album. I do not agree, and say Clayman is their weakest. StYE was just more of a change to the "dark" side, it may sound weird, but the dark side focusing on the bad things and being hurt. And Finally, and lastly, Come Clarity. So much to say about this album. This was my first ever In Flames CD. I think this is their second best next to The Jester Race because of the pounding drums and the lower octave of the bass. In Flames still has that old sound and epicness to them, but with a new, more modern feel. Songs like "Leeches", "Reflect The Storm", "Come Clarity", and "Crawl Through Knives" really stuck out to me showing me the hurting side of things. Come Clarity is a CD about hurting...being left out, and not being heard. The biggest human struggles of all right now. Depression, and not being heard. This CD really helped me get through some bad times. If there was one million stars on the chart, this CD wouldnt even be on there. Come Clarity is just a masterpiece of modern metal and melodic Gothenburg metal. There arent many keyboards in Come Clarity, but more talent. I feel this cd was only second best to The Jester Race because of the complexity to The Jester Race. The best closing i have ever heard was on Come Clarity. "Your Bedtime Story is Scaring Everyone" Is the perfect ender to a near perfect CD. Come Clarity is definately going to be one of those CD's i hold with me to the grave.
Some people are stupid........2007-04-03
While admitedly better than their last two disgraces, this album still does not even come close to their epics, The Jester Race and Whoracle (especially the former). I understand why many-a-youngin' would be blown away by these guys. If only your first exposure to In Flames had been when they released those two albums, you would understand. Seriously, what happened to Anders' voice?? I guess he thrashed it out too early in his career, like many up-and-comers. And those "solos?" The solo in "Trigger" gave my friends and I nights and nights of nonstop laughter!) Where is the epic storytelling we saw in the early days. Instead of focusing on making an album full of various singles, as they do now, they were releasing themed, yet NOT cheesy. Bjorn should have stayed on drums. And they really, REALLY need Glenn back on lead. No offense to Jesper, because when those two worked together, the result was absolute magic.
I wish I could give the younger generation some advice as to how they could truly appreciate this band, but unfortunately they were just born too late. The era of 1995-1998 was the peak of metal, but the so-called "metalheads" of today probably have too much black dye in their hair to notice. I guess my only advice would be to read some interviews with In Flames, and go listen to the bands they used to listen to. Or just go buy At the Gates, Slaughter of the Soul (the "originators" and grand-daddys of the Swedish/Metlodic death metal sound). Although at this point, I'm will to bet you wouldn't be impressed with that either.
Normally, it is wise of a band (unless they are really something special) to stick to the sound that won them fans. I tend to agree with this. However, at this point, PLEASE change, In Flames!! Either go back to the original lineup, or break up. Don't be like Metallica and stretch it out, dear God, what is it, over 25 years?? I can't imagine a quarter century of In Flaming malarky.

love it.......2006-12-31
Of course I've always been in love with Michael Flately ever since Riverdance....but I love the Feet of Flames cd in addition to his Lord of the Dance. My students loves the music because it's upbeat and different.
Beautiful music .......2006-03-19
For lovers of Celtic Music and River Dance this is for you. The music is hauntingly beautiful bringing Ireland into your very home. My original intent was to use it for the country line dance Pot of Gold but I got a whole lot more.
Once again great music! And I finally hear Strings of Fire!.......2005-08-01
To be honest with you, if I had to choose which was the better CD with the better music, I'd choose Lord of the Dance. But still, Feet of Flames is still a great CD with once again, great music by Ronan Hardiman and Micheal Flatley. If you like Celtic music with a modern twist, you'll enjoy this CD.
About each song:
HIGH PRIESTS: This begins this CD with "monks" chanting in a language I don't know. Very strange, yet I like it. I think the fact that it's strange and a little mysterious is the reason why I like it.
DANCE OF LOVE: One of my favorites on here. It's Micheal Flatley on flute! Yes, the breaths the flutist takes are pretty obvious and it's not hard to miss it, but you get used to it. I love the violin part too. Very pleasant and light.
CARRIKFERGUS: (Nice title for a song!) This song isn't what I expected, and it doesn't seem to fit in. The music, the voice--don't get me wrong, it's nice, but it's too rockish for me.
DUELLING VIOLINS: Reminds me of Strings of Fire a little bit. One of the best on the CD, very beautiful violin music and almost perfect.
WHISPERING WIND: Another beautiful song with Micheal Flatley on flute. This song is so sweet and sad and light all at once. It's the kind of song that fills you up with emotion.
DANCE ABOVE THE RAINBOW: This song reminds me of the song Siamsa from the Lord of the Dance CD. I like it, but then don't like it. The first half of the song consist of lovely violin music. But the second half of the song is this techno-sounding stuff and I don't care for that.
DAWNING: Yes! This is exactly how the Lord of the Dance show begins. I've always wanted the music from the beginning of the show to be included with Cry of the Celts and here it is. I love it much better with it.
SPIRIT'S LAMENT: Another song they forgot to place on the Lord of the Dance CD, which was in the show. It's good, but not as memorable as the other songs on here.
I DREAMT I DWELT: A nice vocal from the show Feet of Flames. The music is nice, the voice is at it's best, and the lyrics are sweet. This is probably my favorite song after "She Moved Through the Fair" from Lord of the Dance. It seems that voice gets better through each song.
STRINGS OF FIRE: Yes! I finally get this song on CD! WHY, did they not include this song on the Lord of the Dance CD? This song, which is mainly violin music is very beautiful, with a lot of energy to it. I'd say it's perfect in every way.
HELL'S KITCHEN: The chanting "monks" are back! This is just High Priests with more music. Somewhat creepy and just as strange, but I like this one better and the music is good. I just wish I could understand what they're saying. But at least I now know how to say "1,2,3,4" in Gaelic!
CELTIC FIRE (LIVE): It's another personal favorite with Micheal Flatley on flute once again! Another perfect, pretty cute song with a lot of energy to it! And I like the fact that it's live. I don't think I would ever be able to enjoy this song without having the screaming fans, and a shouting Flatley in the background. Perfect way to end this CD and it's altogether wonderful.
If you're a fan of Celtic music, Micheal Flatley and just all-around great music, then I'm positive you won't regret buying this CD nor coming across any big disappointments. All I can tell you is enjoy.
Irish dance lover.......2005-02-08
We would recommend this CD! We have seen both Riverdance and Michael Flatley's shows and love the all but appreciate LOTD as it's all Irish dancing. My child competes in step dancing and loves the CD and videos. Michael Flatley is truly amazing especially when you consider he's not a youngster anymore! Just an FYI it's Irish Step dancing not clogging or tap dance.
