passenger is a good rock band with good songwriting. it's not numetal at all. niclas engelin writes good music. if passenger doesn't do it for you, check out gardenian's sindustries album. that's some great music. i agree anders' vocals are really weak on reroute to remain and new in flames, but they sound alot better on passenger. he sounds more like he's trying to be klaus meine from the scorpions, not jonathan davis. at least in flames is trying to go somewhere else with their sound. colony and clayman sucked for the most part, but i liked most of reroute to remain. jester race will always be my favorite in flames album, but i'm glad they haven't made any lame attempts to put out another version of that record. most of what i've heard from the new album sounds like filler, but it doesn't really matter. i just won't listen to it if i don't like it. in flames doesn't owe anyone anything. they only owe it to themselves to make the music they want to make.
