If looking from an absolute 100% melodic death metal standpoint, inflames sucks I guess. But some stuff they did after Clayman was quite interesting and I liked a lot of it. Last few releases they are almost commercial radio sounding though. Not really down with that...

COB is jsut bland these days. After are you dead yet their songs stopped standing out..

I agree with your previous post defining metal as diverse, but I gotta say I really dig InFlames; particularly Clayman, Reroute and Come Clarity.  Truth is, I don't personally consider them Death Metal (melodic or otherwise) at all.  I know people do label them that way though, which is odd to me.  I define Death Metal as something like Cannibal Corpse, which I personally think is terrible music (just my opinion).

Clayman will be my all time favorite but reroute and soundtrack are good as well. Come clarity I liked at first but it was quickly forgotten in my rotation. Seems the more they make music, the more watered down they make it...I blame the guitar players. They need some amazing riffs again. Soilwork did some very impressive guitar work on their latest album, after slacking for a couple of releases...

Only on Sworn to a Great Divide, I hated it.

Stabbing the Drama is INFECTIOUS. Some songs, like Distance and Distortion Sleep are so good I listened to them for a whole week on loop.

Oh yeah, I liked Stabbing too. I forgot that came betwen Sworn and Figure 5 which I also thought was lackluster.
