It's a complicated one. Granted a lot of the big bands right now are complete ass (BMTH, Bad Omens, Slaughter to Prevail, Motionless in White, Falling in Reverse to name just a few) there also loads of bands absolutely KILLING it. Here's a few just off the top of my head; Sylosis, Rivers of...

Maybe it's the guitar nerd in me but I have always found the "In Flames downtuned after Clayman" comments you see everywhere online quite amusing. Objectively speaking in flames has always been downtuned, playing 2 steps below E standard in C. They went from C standard exclusively to a mix of C...

That's not really a shock. Foregone generally had a decent mix, so as long as they aim for a similar standard I'm not displeased. Just less processing on Anders' cleans please

I would like to hope not! There is a huge chasm in-between the quality of Battles and Foregone so I don't think they'd do something that bad again. The band has basically admitted in interviews that some of the albums before Foregone weren't great. If Foregone is the bar for new music in happy...

Hello all, been a hot minute! Feels like we're not too far off of IF recording or releasing new tunes, What's the general mood of everyone heading into new music? For me, if they can build on the big step that Foregone was, but hey it produced by someone else, then we could get a really...

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...

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

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...

*O578, In Flames haven't played in standard C since R2R :'(

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

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...

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...
