[edit] Genre
There is no way this should be labeled as Melodic Death Metal. Not only is it factually inaccurate, but it is misleading and suggests the album sounds more like older In Flames material as opposed to their previous two albums.
-There is no way this is alternative metal, either. To suggest such is absurd. No, it does not sound much like the early In Flames albums, but it does have most of the characteristics of melodic death metal, i.e. lead guitar melodies, driving riffs, and death vocals.
- Even the 'harsher' vocals on the album do not fall under the category of death growls. Lead guitar melodies and 'driving riffs' (whatever those are) are not restricted to Melodic Death Metal. Alternative Metal or possibly Swedecore are appropriate classifications for music of this style. The title track alone is enough for anyone to tell this is not a Melodic Death Metal album, at least not prevailent enough for it to be the sole genre listed.

- I think Swedecore is closer to what we are looking at, than alternative metal.
IMHO metalcore should stay in (it's obvious the strong influence from bands like Killswitch, Caliban, Atreyu ecc. and also from some post-thrash bands) but we could put Scandinavian metal (since it sounds more "Swedish", with their own feeling). Even vocals are more "core-oriented" (death vocals are different and don't fully represent a genre, if Iron Maiden had growl vocals they wouldn't be a death metal band). Melodic Death Metal: I think it's wrong. For me, a MDM album could be Lunar Strain, Skydancer, Slaughter of the Soul, Heartwork (even Symbolic of Death but this is another loooong tale), and CC is different in sound, attitude, influences, groove etc. Alternative Metal: CC isn't as particular and marked by many influences as RTR or STYE, imho even alt metal is wrong.

Agree, and whoever keeps changing it back to Melo-Death, please stop.
