This album is a masterpiece; it's perfect, flawless, magnificent, great, insanely good, amazing, incredible, magical, brilliant, heavy, and melodic. It's easily one of the best albums ever.

Probably one of the greatest metal albums from a production perspective. Everything sounds so crisp yet punchy, and the overall volume and loudness is just right. It also helps that the actual music is really good too

Perfect album!!! But as someone already stated in here, this was already step in the direction of Reroute. I love all IF, but c'mon, why do people act like the change came out of nowhere? That being said, this and Colony are peak In Flames! Filled with great, catchy melodies!

I'll never understand why there's people who defend this album yet bash the hell out of Reroute to Remain. They're damn near the same album, with Reroute being more streamlined. Like compare Pinball Map to Dismiss the Cynics and you'll see they're very similar. Hell, Only For the Weak and Free Fall are the same goddamn song and the former is heralded as "the essence of melodic death metal" (which is total bs). I like both albums but it's insane when people fail to realize this.

Yeah, Clayman was actually the album that they went nu-metal/alternative on. I actually consider Reroute to be superior to Clayman, though, in the sense that it's got more speed, more riffs, and less of Anders' awful creaky spoken word parts. Reroute has Metaphor, Egonomic, Transparent, Drifter, and the title track itself. Clayman has... nothing, really.

Reroute has more clean singing than Clayman, not to mention the production sucks the life out of that album. Shit opinion

At least Reroute's clean singing actually has melody. Clayman's is almost all tuneless despicable whiny croaking.

I came here to say the same thing. People act like the shift in sound came out of nowhere with Reroute, but this album wrote the warning in neon letters.

In Flames best in my opinion. I like the old In Flames. Clayman was my first taste of free music in 2001.

easily one of the greatest melodeath albums to date. I cannot help but scream and thrash my fucking balls off every time I throw on As the Future Repeats Today (my favourite In Flames song). "All of my time, compressed to itching moments" might just be my favourite lyric I have ever heard. I really think this album is the best showcase of Anders' writing.

... well, this album is a hell of a lot more awesome the second time around. It's quite an amazing album. How did I miss this earlier?!
