| | In Flames - Remnants of Reason |
 | | Musically, it's a good continuation of what began on Lunar Strain, yet a lot of the more traditional elements are shed, retaining the melody and acoustic sections, yet not as "out of place" as they could seem on the debut. |
 | | The movement towards the pop realm is still taking place, but I have to hand it to In Flames for keeping the faith in the vocal department, because to my ears, that's the main factor keeping this band from the mainstream limelight (well, and maybe that lightning double bass work). |
 | | The move of Bjorn Gelotte from drums to lead guitar really didn't have as profound of an effect on Colony as it does here, Daniel Svensson able to really stretch out his performances, shining through on several spots on the album. |
