What I like in music is when I listen to a song again and every time I discover something I didn't notice before. A nice melody underneath, a cool riff, a drum pattern, a change of tone, you get the idea. It is my indicator of how much depth a song has. Foregone is such a case, while Battles and...

That is actually true, how do you know that?

I listened to a podcast for the new album today. The guy accused Nuclear Blast and the band for purposely releasing misleading singles and deceiving the audience about the sound of the new album. I disagree. Firstly, the last 2 singles had a different sound and that was an indicator. Secondly, I...

Totally agree! I'm also a guitarist myself and this record did make me want to try some songs on my guitar. SoSD is actually fun to play. I can appreciate in a different way a complicated mind blowing prog riff or a simple but cool sounding one. And let's face it, In Flames were never about...

It has been a hell of a day with studying and working, but I found time to listen to the album in full some times. The Beginning of All Things: A simple but beautiful piece of acoustic work. It is very atmospheric, but also very repetitive. It could be better if Bjorn developed this melody a...

I've listened to the album a couple of times, but I will need to listen to it more tomorrow to have a full review. My overall opinion is positive! So far I enjoy A Dialogue in B Flat Minor and Pure Light of The Mind the most and really hate Bleeding Out. @ciko_gfb Glad you are ok, mate. I do...

@ciko_gfb Is everything ok, my neighbour? I've heard about the earthquake in Turkey

I got an email that my pre-order is on its way. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow. I am looking forward to better quality versions of Cynosure and In The Dark. From the reviews A Dialogue in B Flat Minor could be an interesting track. The snippet from Pure Light Of the Mind sounded cool, it gave...

I think I've said it before, I certainly do not consider Anders a good clean singer. He is far from that. But his voice has a distinguishing tone, which somehow works for me (when is not full of autotune). I do consider him a good screamer. His screams can be pretty accessible to people outside...

I agree with eochaid. WWR is quite good musically, it has a nice build up and a catchy chorus. But the shit lyrics prevent me from enjoying it. References to older songs is not cool, just cringe and uninspired. One of the three songs I skip on ITM ( but better than House and In This Life).

I've listened to the 3 mini leaks a couple of times. As far as I can tell from a phone recording, Cynosure sounds the most interesting. In The Dark is also cool and Bleeding Out totally generic.

Turns out that if you google, you can already find the lyrics to the unreleased songs. They seem legit based on the snippets. IN THE DARK It seems so real when you whisper Just like holding down your breath We’re slowly dying So how do we solve this without regrets? This is a war and no one...

After listening all the singles so far, I would rank them like this: State of Slow Decay The Great Deceiver Foregone pt2 Meet Your Maker Foregone pt1 The first two might change position. I find Foregone pt1 quite boring and I always tend to skip it.

I saw it too! Is there any chance it is Bleeding Out? I considered they will release teasers of the unreleased songs by order

Maybe I missed something, but if Jester Slave is talking about Fear Is The Weakness, I do remember an interview at that time with Anders where he was asked if this song is about Jesper and he replied that it could be. To be honest though, I think it is the usual reply from Anders no. 714 ("if a...
