In Flames - A Sen By CrpnDeth, Staff Photographer/Writer Tuesday, March 4, 2008 @ 12:55 AM
 Condemned is an excellent example of the vocal and guitar harmonies blending together to create an instant memorable chorus, while starting off with the typical In Flames signature. Anders may not do a whole lot of “clean” vocals throughout the songs, but he does let loose in The Chosen Pessimist which clocks in as the disc’s longest song at over 8 minutes. This song kind of seems out of place in the flow that the disc created thus far, dropping the built up momentum. The usual song structure is abandoned and the song is free to form a dark and moody vibe. The vocals seem a bit lost at times when they are not backed by thunderous twin riffs, as his previous clean parts have been.
Oddly enough, while listening to this release, I picked up on several instances reminiscent of old school Iron Maiden style riffs.
A Sense of Purpose is easily going to be one of the ten best releases for 2008, as well as a very strong release to add to In Flames existing catalog. Expect them to give Megadeth a run for their money this year on Gigantour.
