    New album Foregone out February 2023

    I've also been messing around this weekend trying to learn some of the fun bits on the new album. Ignore me badly trying to work out the rhythm guitar behind Chris's solo because I'm shit, but Meet Your Maker has some really fun riffs to play in it, the verse is really groovy If you can get it...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    Moment for me is a great album... If I'm in the mood for it. If not, I find it boring. Hard to explain really. Has some songs I really like, but it's also a little boring. Great artwork though. For me nothing will touch Character and Atoma, to me they are head and shoulders above the rest of the...

    The more I listen to Cynosure the more I think it's a really good song. Chorus could have been more dynamic, but it is enjoyable. The rest of the song is just amazing, in my opinion. Bleeding out and Dialogue are really the tracks that stand out for me as sub par

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    I learned how to play the entirety of foregone Pt. 1 very quickly as I love the riffs, I have the whole song down except the solos which I straight up can't play (I shared a clip of me trying it a bit a few pages back). Also learned most of SOSD and TGD. can't wait to learn some more of the good...

    At the gates sounded awful in London last year. Disappointingly so. Not just vocals, the whole mix was off.

    STYE - Is It Really That Awful?

    Character is the best DT album and I won't hear otherwise. STYE is weird, at its best it's brilliant, at its worst it's really not great. I like it, but I would say it's the weakest of the 00s albums.

    As an initial reaction I'd pop it here in my tiers of IF albums S: TJR, Colony A: Clayman, Come Clarity, SOAPF B: R2R, Whoracle, ASOP C: STYE, Foregone D: ITM, Siren Charms E: Battles

    First off welcome Moonshield_! Okay so I listened to the full album through decent headphones and this is what I made of it. *The Beginning of All Things That Will End:* I thought this would be really underwhelming having heard it over tape at a show last year, but the intricacies of the mix...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    I'm going to do a full listen through of the album after I finish work at midnight here in the UK, will give my full thoughts after that but after briefly listening to the new songs on my phone at my break, I feel like the album is halfway between Battles/ITM and what I wanted it to be - half...

    New album Foregone out February 2023

    A dialogue in B flat minor had me until the chorus. Same with End The Transmission. The Only song that really sticks out to me is Bleeding Out, the only redeeming factor there is Chris's solo. The rest of the album is a solid improvement on the last 2 albums and I agree, if they get a different...

    They definitely released the better songs as singles. Having listened to the full album once now the only non-singl3s that have my interest are Pure Light Of Mind and In The Dark. Cynosure is also cool but it doesn't go anywhere. Props to Tanner's drums on it though.

    If someone could DM me a download I'd really appreciate it <3

    Most universally positive reviews the band has got in a very long time. I'm expecting the rest of the album to be a mix of ITM and what we've heard. I'm okay with that.

    Best answer (and actually best question) about IF and THE in this interview, at 18:50. Bjorn still doesn't go into too many specifics but he is nothing but positive about the members and the band
