When the singles for the previous albums were released, I wasn't happy about them. At the time, I thought of them as just OK. After the album was released, I started liking them mich more and now I think that they were great. So, I will keep my opinions until the full thing is released.

I loved DOTL with its flaws. I love MOTU even though I was not excited for the singles but they grew a lot on me and I think it's a great solid album. I love listening to both albums together. They make an amazing duo and perfectly complement each other.

Agreee. Culturally, they were more relevant snd influential back in the day. Now, unless I'm wrong, they're amongst the top 10 european metal bands. Which is weird.

They seem to be more relevant today than they were during Jesper's time. And I'm talking in terms of popularity. Albums like SC and Battles, instead of being harmful for the band, only seem to have served to alienate long time fans and to reach to a ton lot more. Now, IF, has a bigger fanbase...

We're talking about a band that has reached the peak of its success after releasing albums like SC or Battles. Nothing makes sense anymore.

In my opinion we are yet at that point. We are too dependent on our jobs and increasing artificial needs that no one is willing to revolt.

Yeah but... Like... That's the opposite of what conservatives want. They ject reject ideas like universal healthcare. I cannot imagine a world where they send money to people for free. Specially, since capitalism these days is about transferring money from the whole population to the richest 1%...

Yes. That's the problem. CEOs wanting to increase their own benefits by decreasing manual labour. Because they need that extra one million. A recent study shows that the higher someone ranks in a company the more they use AI. And, this, in my opinion, shows that being smart is.not a requisite...

And that's another problem. Yes. People starting a Patreon because they can write a prompt. And then saying that AI is just another tool, like a pen or photoshop. Ok. Prove it. Stop using AI. Pick a pen and show us what you've got. AI is the same as asking your brother who is good at arts to...

He's been sharing bits of music and now Peter is helping with the bass.

Jesper is making a solo album.

I don't have that much high hopes for the future. IF is becoming more and more relevant since their music has become more and more soulless. As for metal. Just look at the new bands from the past... 20 years? I don't see that much difference, today between metal and mainstream pop music. Nu...

That's the issue. What they are doing is... They're using the users to train the AI so that they can exploit it in the future. Which means a lot of AI music will come in the future as a replacement for real artists. When they sell the rights for their music or voices it's because they're hoping...
