The Jester Race
the second-best metal alb-m ever made, behind only dark tranquillity’s the gallery. recorded in 1995 by in flames, it stands as their seminal accomplishment seconded by 1994’s lunar strain and 1997’s whoracle. a true testament to spectacular riff-writing and guitarwork, every song has at least three distinct riffs, with a very dynamic lead guitar and a strong rhythm guitar and frequent double leads in parts. the vocals are powerful but not spectacular in any way and the lyrics are closer to poetry than 99% of music gets. the drumming is very fast and clean, but the drums and b-ss tend to make way for the guitar, which is clearly the highlight of the alb-m and of in flames in general, at least up until 2002’s reroute to remain. a true testament to the riff- and solo-writing prowess of jesper stromblad, and a fantastic journey into another land, where creative and unrepet-tive music reigns supreme. when combined with the 1996 ep black-ash inheritance, it becomes an even better alb-m simply due to the addition of in flames’s best song they ever wrote, goliaths disarm their davids, an epic track that stands out on an alb-m that is nothing but epic tracks. a must-have for any fan of metal.
man 1: in flames is obviously a sh-te band. clearly they’re just another commercialized slipknot knockoff.
man 2: not exactly. -hands man 1 a copy of the jester race-
