“Ma come sono cattivi!…come hai detto che si chiamano?”
“In Flames”
“oh ma sono davvero fighi, senti come urla..cazzo oh, altro che la merda che ci fa vedere mtv…cazzo morissero tutti quelli di mtv, dovrebbero mandare sti In Flames…”
“eh si…hai proprio ragione”
“cioè no ma adesso ti spiego, il punto è che questi sono troppo alternativi, cioè capisci…musica del genere ti fa pensare, è che il governo, cazzo quei bastardi al governo non vogliono farci pensare capisci? Guarda anche i titoli..cioè anche le lettere tra parentesi così quella parola ha due..come si dice oh?”
“..significati”
“si ecco cioè ha due significati…altrochè le stronzate che ci insegnano in quella cazzo di scuola, dovrebbero farci leggere sti testi mica quei libri di merda.”
“già”
“poi senti usano anche le tastiere, cioè sono tipi raffinati è gente che cazzo la musica se l’è studiata..poi oh le chitarre…senti come grattano, m’hanno detto che usano dei distorsori particolari per questo disco”
“si, probabile”
“oh ma certo che sta musica carica eh…cazzo oh ma sai cosa mi sembrano?”
“no”
“dai hai presente quel gruppo…cazzo quello coi due chitarristi mezzi scemi con le treccine dai…quello che aveva anche il chitarrista con la chitarra a quattro corde che poi lo teneva quasi dritto..dai cazzo…avevano la prima lettera al contrario così potevi leggerlo anche allo specchio, tipo gli adesivi su quelle cazzo di ambulanze dai..”
“Korn?”
“ecco, bravo…oh ma c’assomigliano molto…anche la batteria con tutti quei colpi che ci da…m’hanno detto che usano tipo un coso…tipo doppio pedale o qualcosa del genere per fare più casino capisci? Cioè così sono più aggressivi…poi sono anche melodici però senti sto riff oh sarà melodico?”
[(piccola parentesi seriosa: in effetti la melodia presente nelle canzoni di questo è molto vicina a quella tanto cara ai gruppi di nu metal self-made che imperversano ovunque, ma la cosa ancora più preoccupante è che assomiglia anche a quella presente in altrettanti gruppi di death svedese fine parentesi seriosa) il che vuol dire che tirando le somme death svedese=nu metal fine parentesi]
“si si”
“cazzo oh grazie che mi hai fatto scoprire sto gruppo, ci sanno troppo, poi cazzo sono anche svedesi, chissà quante biondone si scopano ogni giorno eh?”
“già…”
“che figoni..”
In definitiva una parodia non troppo reale non troppo divertente ma neanche troppo parodia. Gli In Flames sono diventati dei Korn più elettronici o i alternativa dei Soilwork/Darkane più nu. Complimenti per la svolta, peccato siate arrivati un po’ in ritardo. Ultimi del carrozzone e nemmeno tra le migliori attrazioni del circo. Ah e dimenticavo Reroute To Remains=Soundtrack To Your Escape.

02 The Quiet Place (03:45)
Spinning further, deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
Push the dirt
Make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird you build my world
And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes!
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show
Bow down
A king in my own mind
Every thing's in place
So much brighter from today
Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes to keep your hands free
Open scars
The quiet place
All the bridges fall to the ground
And you say you sacrificed
And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes!
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show
Bow down (bow down)
A king in my own mind
Every thing's in place
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind
(Judge me now)
A king in my own mind
(Judge me now)
A king in my own mind
(Judge me now)
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down (bow down)
A king in my own mind
Every thing's in place
So much better from today
A king in my own mind...
03 Dead Alone (03:42)
"Dead End"
Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame
I'm not afraid to bleed
But I won't do it for you
A star among hypocrites
The melody of our time
[Chorus:]
So say goodbye to the world
We are the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait forever
It's the next disaster!
What decides when you've lost the war
When the first man falls?
Or when they erase it all?
We're too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed my life's tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
'Cause I will die too
[Chorus]
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke
Winter will come twice
Save all your prayers
I think we lost today
There's no morning after
And no one's around to blame
Scream you lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don't have to wait for ever
Here's the next disaster! [2x]
04 Touch of Red (04:12)
Reaching depths of clarity
I'm not supposed to be like this
I should be on the top of the world
Is anybode out there like me?
I followed - something's missing
Self control - forcing me down
Whispers consume the air
Above her I'm endless
When the rain comes falling
I'll freeze, I'm so afraid
When things start to flood me
I'll drown in seconds
Fear - there's a way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's a way out
As if I ever had a choice
All in the hands of the energy
Once again I feel the quicksand
Swallow me, tonight I won't struggle
The weak in me should know
I'm as sober as I could be
Swallow me, tonight I won't struggle
The weak in me should know
I'm as sober as I could be
07 Evil in a Closet (04:02)
We were one in words
You finished my sentences
I can never attract tomorrow
It pushes me aside
I sink in waters deep
Your presence kept me floating
Far from depths where secrets lie
Maybe in another lifetime
I could be the first you meet
I once read a poem
Held my breath
But that moment's gone
First time I felt
life somewhat hurts
I need an option, a reason, and some hope
You yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking and I might fall
I wish that I could say
I wish I could be your evil in a closet
You yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking and I might fall
I wish that I could say
I wish I could be your evil in a closet
08 In Search for I (03:22)
It hurts to think
Can't get the sums together
Would you draw my bitterness
Make the pictures fade
Could it be that I see
What's beneath when we fall
The truth in ever
I'm scared that I'll be
Will time open my vault
New solution, I'm begging
Break the fuse that holds me back
The I is lost in me
But I'm ready to give you
The m, it might even be the e
As I begin to search for I
Distract, push me in another direction
This wall that I stare into
It's getting old
Give me faith to reach for the new
Pull me apart and do me all over
I'll need a re-make
To make up for my mistakes
What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?
09 Borders and Shading (04:21)
Take a knife and carve it in
Want to see your faults
As a part of your pretty skin
Everyone has a tragedy
I want you to wear yours in pain
Oblivion can no longer shade you
Reminder by the tattered tissue
Bleak silence
Errors stigmatised in you
A weak worn out friend
There's nothing left for me
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I’ll look the other way
I will crawl into your vault
Pass snakes and old rotten thoughts
Leaving a hotbed of virulence
Your world inside slowly redesigned
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I’ll look the other way
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I’ll look the other way
You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I’ll look the other way.
10 Superhero of the Computer Rage (04:00)
I am the past
Future
I've been chosen
You think it's over
But I'm ready to go
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time
I am a surprise
Even to myself I'm a genious
Superhero of the computer rage
In plastic I'll bury
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time
Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but the re's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure you die in time
I am the maggot
In your infected life
No matter how hard you try
I'll leave without a scar
I am a legend
In your infotainment life
It's when I say it's over
It's you who's been chosen
11 Dial 595-escape (03:48)
Could it be a new day?
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far
The absence, close to me
The otherside I crawl
You push me out, I fall
Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favourite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space does exist beyond
In silence I dwell
Displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfilment
Try to remove obstacles as they appear my master said
Don't look too far, you'll stumble before you're even there
12 Bottled (04:17)
I really don't have anything to say
Just pass me by
Don't ask me the same questions
Just deny I'm there
Like the time around me
This room is filled with nothing
Fell awkward in a place with many
Leave this space to me
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
Still and breathless
I don't care what's behind
To you I look for energy
To catch my breath again
The world looks old to me
Tonight I drink myself sober
Soon this could be over
Tale a picture of the pale
New morning knocking
Feels just like always
Pen down my regrets
I reach to you again
Carico i commenti... con calma

La formula è sempre quella: growl graffiante, struttura melodic death, accenni al thrash, riff Maiden e ritmi sincopati.
Qualche ingrediente in più (nu metal e metalcore) ha tolto un po' di sapore alla ricetta degli In Flames.
