Yeah the chorus is so weird, it's like he's half-asleep whilst recording his vocals. It should be a big, powerful, anthemic chorus but it's just weak as fuck. For the record it would be shit either way, but the way they've done it doesn't even make sense.
Ready to Rumble should have been 1 minute 30 seconds tops. What I hear isn’t bad, but it is so repetitive and I want it to end… which is not good.
Whilst we wait for news on Cyhra 3, here's Letters to Myself in instrumental form. I have to say a lot of these songs hit very differently for me without vocals. Not that they're better or worse, necessarily, just different. Really makes me appreciate Jesper's composition across the album. He did a great job.
Karma - definitely the most In Flames sounding track on the record
Heartrage - really cool instrumentally, but feels like it would have been a nightmare for Jake to work out vocal patterns for this one
Here to Save You - funny how the vocals really make the chorus epic, without them it's basically just generic riffs
Muted Life - did not notice the nice little guitar lines or keys during the verses beneath the vocals. I actually think this one does sound better without vocals. Sorry Jake!
Closure - nice to listen to instrumentally, but the vocals definitely push this one up an extra level. The ending to this track is so awesome, the extra keys and the guitar track mimicking the vocal lines sound great - from about 03:40 onwards
Letter to Myself - Probably the second most In Flames sounding song on the album
Dark Clarity - Didn't notice how unique the drumming on this one was. Some really interesting stuff going on there
Holding Your Breath - Listening to this one instrumentally makes you realise how much the vocals are carrying this one. Really, the guitar does nothing particularly interesting until the solo. Still nice to listen to though!
Rescue Ride - Jake nailed the vocal melodies on the chorus for this one, for sure.
Black Wings - Another one where the vocals make this sound so different. I think it sounds awesome either way, but definitely hits different when the vocals are added
Inside a Lullaby - genuinely sounds like something that could have come off a movie soundtrack
Dead to Me - this one is so different to everything else on the album. Honestly not one of my favourites instrumentally or with vocals

Drumming and vocal melodies are awesome on the whole album. Some next lvl shit there.
But what the fuck happened with this band on the next album!? It's like they all had their brains removed in between the two recordings.
Ah well... At least we're ready to rumble.

Can't help but completely agree there, and at that point, what's the purpose of having those guys as your bandmates over anyone else?
So where is the next song from these guys? I’m ready to be disappointed all over again.
Sounds like Galvanized is ready to rumbleeeee... But yeah, would have expected something else from Cyhra by now.

I haven't heard Ready to Rumble but when I see the title I can't help but think of that one Space Jam song.
