When did [insert band here] lose their spark for you?

Ah... and there's In Flames, of course. Yet unlike many old school fans I liked their 2000's run, I even think half of "A Sense Of Purpose" is pretty good. On the other hand, what followed was IMO a spree of four of the feeblest and "WTF is this?" records coming from a band I liked. Fortunately, this story has a happy ending, since their last record was a huge and pleasant surprise. I mean... It's no "Whoracle" or "Colony", or even "The Jester Race" but, other than these, I think it owes little to nothing to the remainder of In Flames discography. So yeah, after "A Sense Of Purpose" I avoided the band like the black death, but "Foregone" brought me back.
