Okay, so the album kicks ass. I don’t know about it being the “heaviest and most creatively aggressive outing in years!” though. I mean, yeah, it’s clearly heavier than Soundtrack to Your Escape, which is the previous album, but it’s just about as heavy as Reroute to Remain, which was the album before Soundtrack. It’s not exactly going back to the savagry of Lunar Strain, but it is pretty awesome. Which is not to say that the heaviness of an album determines how good it is; I’m just questioning that quote on the package. As I said, I’m quite happy with the album–I’ve listened to it a couple times tonight already, and I really dig it.

As for the DVD–it actually has “videos” for the whole album (except for one track, which isn’t a regular song), but I put videos in quotes for a reason. The DVD is basically like one long video of In Flames in the recording studio. It’s stylishly shot though, and looks pretty cool.
