I haven’t really listened to the band recently either, but that’s not really because of anything having to do with the band, I’ve just been more interested in different music lately— Boston Manor, old ERRA (Augment is genuinely a 10/10 album for me), the new Clipse album. It’s not even me being...

It seemed like Anders was having the time of his life, especially during Trigger and OFTW. It’s definitely not their best performance, but they absolutely put on a fantastic show. I love this shot of Anders and the horizon during Trigger— It just feels like an “everything’s been worth it” kind...

I think I can finally handle Metalia and Cyberia being as disastrous as they are (Don’t listen to those albums, there are maybe five good songs from them and it’s a double album), since Ryo’s back in Blood Stain Child. I was really sad when I found out he left the band since he’s one of my...

I almost accidentally hit report instead of like. Feels fitting. Also, his facial expression looks like it would if he finally heard Battles the same way we do.

Apparently the setlist on the 1st had FFTG and Coerced Coexistence— Which honestly, I don’t remember the last time I’ve heard about them playing it live. Edit: they played CC in 2024, so I guess never mind on that front. But Graveland? MYM? Even worse, most of the setlist has the problem of...

That pretty much sums up my issues with Foregone as an In Flames album specifically— It’s just I, the Mask in denial, and I liked it a lot more when the band was honest about being alt metal.

More acoustics? Awesome, can’t wait.

Honestly, I think a lack of confidence was it, especially after SC, but I think especially after ITM and Anders’ vocal training, it’s moreso Björn just… Kinda going on autopilot. He no longer listens to new music, doesn’t really come up with new ideas— And while a ton of people do love the...

I think I can actually appreciate Foregone quite a bit— For boring me so much I turned to a variety of other rock, metal, electronic, pop, and hell, even rap music just to really feel invested in something. Alright, alright, I’ll be serious. I think Foregone is a decently fine, maybe even...

I’m sorry for reminding you of it, I’ve done a truly horrible thing today.

For me, I think Bottled is the worst IF song pre-ASOP, but they definitely released some worse shit from 2008-onwards. Delight and Angers and Sober and Irrelevant both spring to mind immediately as songs I want to listen to less than Bottled, and those are still before Jesper left. Then you have...

I can agree with these statements

All jokes aside, completely agreed.

So what you’re saying is that… You really don’t have anything to say after listening to it.

I should go over what I think of STYE’s tracks at some point like how you guys did, but I just haven’t felt like doing it. I will say that I’ve always felt Discover Me Like Emptiness should’ve been the closer, not even just because Bottled is quite possibly the worst closing track they’ve done...
