Segundo álbum de esta banda sueca de Death Metal Melódico y primero grabado con una formación más o menos fija, sin músicos externos o "de estudio". Considerado por muchos como su mejor disco, aquí su sonido está ya mucho más definido y sienta las bases de lo que serían sus próximos discos.

Metal-Archives review:
Describing something that is perfect is much more difficult than you would think. The word ‘perfect’ itself has become largely overused today, however it’s one of the only words that comes to mind when I think about In Flames’ utter masterpiece which is The Jester Race. Never before have I become so entirely attached to an album.
A stunning acoustic harmony is what you will first hear when you begin to listen to this album. Moonshield is the best introductory song imaginable. The acoustic intro is actually mesmerizing and surreal and when the heavy riff hits in at 49 seconds you still haven’t woken up from this dreamland. Stormblad is truly a musical genius and why he doesn’t write melodies like this anymore is completely beyond me. What else is beyond me is the fact that this song has become a rarity at their live shows. When the music fades on Moonshield, we get some more beauty from The Jester’s Dance which serves as a great instrumental interlude between the opener and Artifacts Of The Black Rain. It is at this point in which the album picks up speed. The tight guitar riffs and fast paced vocals make this track a headbanging highlight. They also made a music video for this track, but that’s nothing special. The Jester Race flawlessly combines harmonies and beautiful melodies (the title track) with crushing anger and aggression (December Flower, Dead God In Me).
In the album sleeve it states that Jesper Stormblad wrote the majority of the music on this album and I believe that he still writes most of In Flames’ music today but I can’t understand why it was so much more inventive and stunning back in the day. Anders Friden belches out one of the best vocal performances he’s ever done. Each lyric drips with despair and anger as he screams them out. Although I think Colony calims the best vocals from Friden, I think The Jester Race is the most emotional. The drums are excellent as always and were performed by Björn Gelotte, who is now a guitarist in the band along with Stormblad. The lyrics may be the best the band has to offer, mostly incorporating themes of depression and human weakness.
The Jester Race is a journey of an album not to be missed. It is considered by many to be In Flames’ masterpiece, and I think I might agree with that. The music is truly timeless and can be listened to over and over again. If you appreciate creative music in general, you better look into this album, as it helped develop the genre of what is now known as classic melodic death metal.
Hey Jarpo.. Thanks a lot for the last bunch of IF CDs. What did you think of the last album?
You're welcome but, can you believe that I didn't listen to the last album yet?!!! The fact is I started to find them less interesting when they began to play a sound more "alternative". And they're not that kind of band that I love in any circumstances like Dream Theater, Maiden or Priest, of which I will buy their albums even before listening to them first. NO A LA LEY LASSALLE

Hm.. SoaPF is still modern-sounding, but it's closer to Clayman than it is to for example Come Clarity. I enjoyed it a lot more than the 3 albums before it, maybe with the exception of 'A Soundtrack to Your Escape'... But for me, every IF album has at least a couple of good songs. Can't think of a band though that has changed their sound and image over time more than IF. Even if their lineup nowadays is completely different. Let's see what they did with the new one.
