REVIEW: In Flames – Sounds Of A Playground Fading
June 7th, 2011 James Shotwell “All things considered, Sounds Of A Playground Fading isn’t a bad album, and it is certainly better than I expected (probably better than most people would expect). A disjunct album full of pretty cool moments that don’t really fit together, all wrapped up nicely in one super-produced package. Great for people who really didn’t hate A Sense Of Purpose, bad for people who didn’t really like Come Clarity.”
