I also attended the show at Lupos. It's crazy to think that this happened a decade ago. Feels like it was only yesterday. This was still around the time when I was either at the Palladium, Lupos/Met, or a few other venues almost every weekend, guaranteed.

The highlight of this show, for me, was definitely Sentenced and Dark Tranquillity.

I was completely satisfied with Sentenced playing mostly songs from the Cold White Light, as that happens to be my favorite record from those guys. I love North From Here just as much as the next guy but the true Sentenced sound comes later in their career and peaked with CWL. It really does suck about Miika; I love Sentenced and wish I could have seen them a number of times after this. At least there is some satisfaction in having seen them tour in support of my favorite Sentenced record, R.I.P.

Dark Tranquillity...

One of those bands that I appreciated along with the rest of the Swedish Melodic Metal scene from the 90's. The Gallery is far and away their best album, and remains a standout among the best records from that era. I thought they played well and had good energy, but I do wish they would have played more older material, as I'm more a fan of Skydancer, Of Chaos and Eternal Night, and The Gallery, as opposed to stylistic changes found on the Projector and Haven records.

In Flames were definitely rocking their matching milkmen outfits and continued to destroy any credibility they once had with me. I'm pretty sure this tour was in support of Reroute to Remain which, for me, both closed & sealed the casket lid on their career. Before that record I remember hating Clayman with a passion. I remember picking it up at Newbury the day it came out, before I went into work, and I sold it off the very next day. Oddly enough I've come to dig that album, over time. I think I was able to appreciate Clayman after I looked at it separately from the rest of their catalog and refused to acknowledge it as a real In Flames record. Also, the fact that they'd never go back to the style that once made them great to begin with. Having said all that, I still can't subscribe to anything they did afterward and I really wish they would just call it quits. Band is a total embarrassment.
