I have a few tracks from the band, but I need to check em out in depth soon. Out of the list, they deserve the award. Congrats! The list of nominees has some odd names. For the record, I HATE f***in panic at the disco (no caps on the 'name' : they shouldn't even be making 'music' lol

Meh, while In Flames Discography contains better work than any of those bands (aside from maybe Apocalyptica) could produce, their latest efforts have been simply depressing.

Jenny, if you're looking to check them out more in depth, check out the Clayman CD, it's killer. Also, their older stuff is great, too. Most people don't care for their newer material (Reroute to Remain - present), but I do.. at least give it a listen though.

What competition, there were no competition. In Flames is clearly the best band out of that list there. obviously. Congratulations IF, you deserve it for your awesomelyepicness of musicality. I am however not the happiest with their latest album, but hey if they like it and if it is from the heart then thats all that matters, and all that should matter to the true fans of their music for sure....up yup...
