Soundtrack to Your Escape is the seventh studio album by Swedish heavy metal band In Flames, released on 29 March 2004.

The album was criticized by longtime fans because of a major change in musical style[citation needed]. However, the album was seen by many as a natural progression from Reroute to Remain and was critically praised by critics such as Metal Hammer and Kerrang!. It reached number 3 in Sweden, number 45 on the American Billboard 200 chart (the band's first album to reach the Billboard 200), number 2 on the Top Heatseekers chart, and number 7 on the Independent Albums chart. This would mark the first album where the band would exclusively use drop A# tuning and abandoning the C standard tuning of previous albums.

Releases

[edit]

The album is available in both a regular jewel case version featuring 12 tracks and a limited edition digipak with a bonus track, "Discover Me Like Emptiness". The Japanese version has an additional live track called "Clayman".

A special edition, which includes a bonus DVD with live footage and videos of the singles "The Quiet Place" and "Touch of Red", was also released. Music videos were produced for the songs "My Sweet Shadow", "Like You Better Dead", "Borders and Shading" and "F(r)iend".
