Additional notes
Recorded and mixed at Studio Fredman, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Mastered at the Mastering Room, Gothenburg, Sweden.
According to Björn Gelotte Pallar Anders visa is "an old Swedish traditional song. [...] "Pallar Anders" is a name, but it means "Anders, the guy who steals apples" and it's his song". "Pallar" is a synonym of "to steal" in Swedish.
"Behind Space '99" (and also the bonus track "Clad in Shadows '99") are remakes of the original 1994 tracks, then sung by Mikael Stanne.
"Embody the Invisible" appears in the soundtrack of the video game Tony Hawk's Underground.

Colony Reviews
Date : 2012-07-17
Colony는 국내에 제일 먼저 소개된 In Flames의 앨범으로 가장 색채적이고 드라마틱한 모습을 보여 주고 있다. 기타의 명확한 멜로디가 극적인 구성을 한층 돋보이게 해주고 있으며 군더더기 없는 Melodic Death Metal의 또하나의 전형을 제시하고 있다. The Jester Race앨범과 함께 가장 거대한 물건으로 평가되고 있다. 멜로디컬한 극적인 전개와 박진감 넘치는 사운드가 압권인 Ordinary Story, 오프닝 트랙으로 시원함을 안겨주는 Embody The Invisible등의 곡들을 강력히 추천한다.
