You had ZERO DESIRE to listen to it again.. and you still did!

You already knew that there wasn't. It's Howard Bensen music FFS! If you were after simple, less technical music, there is nothing wrong with that. There are a multitude of options out there for you that are going to beat the pants off of Foregone.

Yeah but newsflash.. there is no missing melody or deeper layered goldmine underneath the plastic trash that is Foregone! Everybody knows that. Whoracle is a classic album with many layers of guitar.. so yes, you can listen to it over and over again and hear something new. That is what makes...

Convenient of you to skip over the cleans! And you don't like the growls.. but still listen to the album again. Absolute nonsense..

In Flames makes cheesy, garbage, child's music, one album after another. And because we have people who don't listen to anything else.. and are desperate for In Flames to make something decent.. they listen again and again, hoping for some magic.. straining so hard to hear some good parts. For...

I can't believe you subjected yourself to that again. What is even the point? The album is absolute horseshit. Why wouldn't you try listening to something else? What about the other albums that are out there, that aren't albums that you've already listened to multiple times and didn't care...

Makes sense. It's a tough call for me.. weighing out whether I'd prefer energy versus quality. I appreciate both a lot. It's so much fun when bands bring major energy and the crowd feeds off of it. Especially if you're right in the middle of it.

Damn that record is sleek as fuck! That is a work of art.

I actually like Last of our Kind, and the Heafy parts. I find it creative and interesting. I also like Mikael's vocals on that one, since it sounds different as well. And I like the intro with the other instruments. The main guitar riff is a different style too. Would have liked to see more...

@eochaid.. cold as ice!! Yeah @DE4life that's a good call. I saw that video (which was audio only really) of Coerced Coexistence that you shared from 1999 and that was so good. They were on fire there. If you have some other good ones to share please do. I think I'd go with Jesper from 1999...

Let's all imagine that we've died, and now we're sitting next to the architect of the universe. We can now modify the simulation we're currently living in and then experience it. What In Flames lineup would you choose to see live, if you could have 1 member, from any point in time, playing...

Ah, so you're like one of the guys at the front of your Pain photo.. goes to a concert and then spends the whole time concentrated on their phone instead of the show!

Yep, it's impossible to adequately communicate what it was like when this came out, as a 19 year old guy that had spent the previous formative years with In Flames basically being a part of my identity. IRC eh.. nice. The way I found out about In Flames was through a friend at school...

I know what you mean about the 'wall of noise'. Some bands have been doing that these days. When I saw DT maybe 5 or 6 years ago, that's how they sounded as well. Saw them a few months ago in the same venue and was much more distinct. I guess I get what they are going for with the sonic...

Point taken. I always liked hearing the sweet sounds of the moonshield intro right off the bat.. but you're right, it is odd having a mid-tempo song at the beginning, and then a short instrumental. Those first two tracks could have been used more strategically to switch things up. But yeah...
