The second-best metal album ever made, behind only Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery. Recorded in 1995 by In Flames, it stands as their seminal accomplishment seconded by 1994's Lunar Strain and 1997's Whoracle. A true testament to spectacular riff-writing and guitarwork, every song has at least three distinct riffs, with a very dynamic lead guitar and a strong rhythm guitar and frequent double leads in parts. The vocals are powerful but not spectacular in any way and the lyrics are closer to poetry than 99% of music gets. The drumming is very fast and clean, but the drums and bass tend to make way for the guitar, which is clearly the highlight of the album and of In Flames in general, at least up until 2002's Reroute to Remain. A true testament to the riff- and solo-writing prowess of Jesper Stromblad, and a fantastic journey into another land, where creative and unrepetitive music reigns supreme. When combined with the 1996 EP Black-Ash Inheritance, it becomes an even better album simply due to the addition of In Flames's best song they ever wrote, Goliaths Disarm Their Davids, an epic track that stands out on an album that is nothing but epic tracks. A must-have for any fan of metal.
Man 1: In Flames is obviously a shite band. Clearly they're just another commercialized Slipknot knockoff.

Get the jamster mug.Jamster, a provider of pathetic ringtones, wallpapers and anything that can be sold to 10 year olds. Not only are they so unoriginal that they had to buy the crazy frog sound from a Swede, they also paid him very little for his contribution to society where as Jamster(!) pocketed over $10 million in revenue worldwide.
A few lesser known facts about Jamster are that they are infact owned by Verisign, a respected provider of online security, whom, after the poorly animated Crazy Frog, Nessie the Dragon and the Little Britain rip off's have completly sold out.
It is wrong to say that new companys are springing up selling the same stuff, because all are OWNED by Jamster(!), for example, in the UK alone: GetZed, 82228 and Ringtoneking are all sister companys with more coming along each day. Even the so called 'Crazyfrog fansites and hatesites are owned by Jamster, as well as a huge portion of .coms relating to anything they are selling.
Jamster originally started as a relativly small company, but founded the so called 'Ringtone clubs' in the most dispicable of ways. By texting to one of their numbers you become subscribed to the service, whether you wanted just one ringtone if you are stupid enough to like such dribble, or if you found a banner ad on a site offering a free ringtone.
By doing this, they have effectively stolen £3 per week from children globally, and although they have an age restriction of 16 to subscribe, the majority of their clients are under this age.
Further examples of Jamster being even more unoriginal come with the release of the Crazy Frog/ Axel Foley single which has gone straight in at No. 1, and has been there for 2 weeks keeping artists such as Coldplay, 50 Cent and Black Eyed Peas from the topspot.
Jamster will come and go, but the general idea is that they will milk it till it bleeds before they crash and burn, so we will be putting up with more media blitzkreiging for some time to come with a variety of new characters including a forth coming Mrs Crazy Frog. Yay.

Get the jamster mug.Jesters is a renowned "night club" in southampton, uk, and is widely known by other universities.
The pleasure of jesters is in its cheap drinks (50p pints on a monday) and it lovely smell of vomit, sweat and other bodily fluids. There is cheesey music pouring out of its doors and hoards of people in fancy dress. But that doesn't put students off, in fact in encourages the onesie clad crowd, as it is a must for anyone in southampton, often with queues all the way to chicoland!

Get the Jesters mug.Jester Hopper pot is a fictional jester suit wearing character from a hit 8-bit show called "Code Monkeys". Story goes that Jester dreamed of creating a strain of weed so strong, it'll get you high off of just one hit. He would later name this weed "Hiroshima". He was last seen driving off into the sunset in his tye-dye school bus named "Farther"
But thats the story they tell you in school man.
It's true jester has a few hundred pounds of Hiroshima on the bus, but the real reason is because he stole the declaration of independence. He rode out, hid with his entire stash and planned to smoke the worlds dankest joint rolled with the deceleration itself.
