Check out a few quotes from press all over the world:
Kerrang – UK
“Sounds Of A playground fading is a stunning return to form. Sounding absolutely immense, the record wields the perfect balance of melody and muscle, light and shade, heartache and hatred, every track providing an important piece of the overall picture “ – 4K Dan Slessor

Metal Hammer – UK
”Sounds…is ultimately the sound of a band who’s precense is growing stronger still”

Metal Hammer - Germany
"The Swedes earn the full respect for holding for the the pressure after so many successful albums on their shoulders and for how easily they compensated Jesper Strömblad's drop out with flying colors. SOUNDS OF A PLAYGROUND FADING is proof of that. Applause!" (6/7)

Slam – Germany
"Beating riffs and aggressive growls interplaying with clear melodies and floating vocal lines, all without ever neglecting the classic contrast of lead and rhythm guitar – match that if you can!" (8/10)

Metal Hammer Spain
"With this record the band proves they are in control of their own destiny, that's why they do the music they like, and that makes them even bigger than they've ever been"

METAL HAMMER ITALY
"Sounds Of A Playground Fading is, to put it simply, a perfect album"

METALLIAN - France
"Sounds of a playgroud fading is undeniably the most emotional album yet and
certainly seems to be In Flames' most successful outing to date.
In Flames has grown into a metal monster"

Rock Tribune (Belgium)
““Sounds Of A Playground Fading” is the best thing that In Flames has produced in a long time”

UP Magazine (The Netherlands)
“A solid mature album”
