According to Anders, this album features increasingly wide vocal registers and reduced growls. In addition, some of the album's songs "pretty much go against the hard rock formula." The entire album was written by Björn Gelotte. The guitar solos, unlike most other albums, were able to be pre-planned out and worked much better according to the in-studio report. Sounds of a Playground Fading received positive reviews. It debuted at number 27 on the US Billboard 200 album chart; number 2 on the Top Hard Rock Chart, number 7 on the Top Rock Chart and number 5 on the Top Independent Chart. It also debuted at Number 1 of the Billboard German Albums chart, and at Number 12 of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.

Sounds of a Playground Fading
In Flames Lyrics
You can find all you need
The message is in the silence
Whisper words to calm your mind
Reach inside another playing come-around
It answers
We are ghosts of the concrete world
Genetic codes of a dying breed
Will I be left behind
Sounds of a playground fading
Staring into bright lights
I am what I've done
It is useless to hide
An empty chamber
Guess I was part of a plan
We are ghosts of the concrete world
Genetic codes of a dying breed
Will I be left behind
Sounds of a playground fading
We're running out of time
Can't seem to recognize
What put us here in the first place
Counting down the days, beginning of the end
We are ghosts of the concrete world
Genetic codes of a dying breed
Will I be left behind
Sounds of a playground fading

I love In Flames, old or new. Seeing them live last year was absolutely perfect and hope to see them perform again.

I've been listening to IF since 95. I still love the old material. But this is the best album they've released so far.

In Flames have evolved over the years to his own style of music, and that's so great!

A lot of hate for their new stuff. I love thier shit both old and new, I hope they keep coming. Great band, great sound. And for those hating, shit changes, music evolves, get over it. To be fair. this new shit sounds much more clear and not so reverb like their old stuff. Still From Whoracle, Lunar etc up to this. great fucking band!

Change is the one thing humans are most afraid of, but it is also one of the best things that can happen to them. so people need to stop complaining and just get on with it and learn it is inevitable.
