Talk:Reroute to Remain

Genre
For any topic about In Flames' music genre, please see the | STYE talk page, so that we won't break the discussion into two different pages.


 * First of all this is the Reroute to Remain talk page and that's what it is for. Second there's a rule on Wikipedia that says sign your posts. Third, headings should be used as well in a talk page. Neither is being followed apparently. --Leon Sword 01:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

This album should not be compared to Soundtrack to your Escape because anyone will tell you they are quite different. Although a lot of the songs don't sound like older In Flames they still retain a Gothenburg metal or swedish metal sound. Also some songs clearly retain melodic death metal guitar techniques used in previous albums. Anyone who says otherwise needs to take some serious guitar classes.

I agree the album is not traditional melodic death metal, and that it could be labeled alternative metal, but Gothenburg metal I believe should also be used considering the fact that some of the guitar techniques done in the songs clearly don't fit the alternative metal genre. Furthermore the amount of keyboard work done on the album shouldn't be ignored. Keyboards is something unusual for alternative metal but common in Gothenburg metal. --Leon Sword 01:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Pretty much anyone who isn't an In Flames fanboy thinks this album is completely removed from Gothenburg metal ("melodeath" in some circles). I vote just alternative metal or nu metal. Ours18 21:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * well im not an In Flames fanboy and I think the album retains some gothenburg metal sound. I don't know how songs on this album can be compared to songs of "true" alternative metal bands like Breaking Benjamin, Tool, and A Perfect Circle.


 * Also, as I stated before Keyboards and synth are uncommon in alternative metal but common in melodic death metal or "gothenburg metal"


 * Also some of the guitar techniques used on the album are never seen done in alternative metal. I think we should at the very least keep "Gothenburg metal" in the genre along with alternative metal. To label this album only alternative metal or nu metal is quite misleading. --Leon Sword 23:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I think putting Gothenburg in there at all is misleading, but for now I'm just switching the order. Ours18 02:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with alternative metal. Connacht 19:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * there is no difference between "melodic death" and "gothenburg" metal, so I will leave it as "melodic death" to avoid confussion. --Dexter prog 20:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
