UMUR
Come Clarity is the 8th full-length studio album by Swedish melodeath/ alternative metal act In Flames. The album was released in February 2006 by Nuclear Blast.

The music on the album is melodic death metal combined with alternative metal. The music is powerful and while the production is very polished I don´t think it´s too polished, which means that the songs pack lots of punch. The songs are generally vers/ chorus structured. Mostly with raw vocals in the verses and Anders Fridén´s clean Jonathan Davis ( Korn) influenced vocals in the choruses. He is not the most skilled vocalist in the world, but the clean vocals work well here. While most songs are more or less in the same vein, songs like Dead End which include female vocals, Come Clarity, which features acoustic parts and the closing track Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone which is of a more experimental nature than most other tracks on the album, provide good variation. The musicianship on the album is excellent. In Flames are a tight unit and a technically well playing act.

Come Clarity is a very professional and succesful album in terms of delivering powerful and well written melodic death metal/ alternative metal. Even 8 albums into their career In Flames sound as inspired as ever. A 3.5 star rating is deserved. This one is close to a full 4 though.
