The melodic sensibilities, classical style guitar, and modal dexterity employed on the Jester Race have precursors in Iron Maiden, Dio-era Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest. It is doubtful that In Flames would argue this; they lovingly weave these timeless influences throughout their music, combining them with later-day thrash and death metal sounds. The vocals differ from the operatic Halford/Dickinson style, in that they are gravel-throated and growled, dealing with personal issues as opposed to fantasy. And indeed, many of the tempos are fast and tight, recalling the glory days of late '80s speed. However, The Jester Race does not feel rushed -- it takes time to make its statements, not afraid to hit mid-tempo strides or get lost in the aforementioned melodic explorations but always with a bite. The result is a definitive late '90s take on power metal; cohesive, heartfelt, and heavy.
