The defiant one sounds kinda cool. These are probably part of the new EP that's supposed to come out at some point this year.

Agree on heavier and faster part. A little bit of that old 90s fire wouldn't hurt anybody.
But please no Foregone mix.

Can't wait to hear a Benson-ified THE, complete with an autotuned Stanne. Bonus points if they bring in outside songwriters.Battles mix then

Interesting idea. This could start a rivalry between Benson and Anders and then they might get a different producer for their next album. This would be at the expense of a THE album though.

I like The Defiant One well enough. I'll have to listen to it a few more times, but I find it to be on par with DOTL's weaker stuff (Which I still quite liked, in fairness). Something about Become Surrender hits really nicely though, particularly in the chorus. It's pretty bouncy, and I quite like that. It's a different feel from everything else from DOTL, even if it's not anything new whatsoever.
I feel like that works a lot better for Become Surrender than The Defiant One. The latter should've had more aggressive drumming, but it works well enough for Become Surrender to me.
Yeah, I definitely agree with the last part. That being said, IBT's chorus was fucking disappointing, so Become Surrender feels that much better.
Real shit, man. The acoustic stuff is that little bit I want aside from some more progressive songwriting.
Oh shit, that sounds awesome.
Now that's something I want to see happen.

As you know Stanne writes far more intelligent lyrics than Anders, but if Benson produces, will he also be shouting stupid chants like "Scream out loud! This is our house!"
Well, that's not gonna happen.
They have yet to release five albums, so they're not worth Benson's time to deal with.

I heard Anders created the ultra-secret, underground "Five Albums Society". Basically a group of highly influential music legends who make sure that bands with less than five albums are kept in their place at the bottom of the food chain. Now that I've revealed their existence I may not have much longer left in this world, but sometimes you have to be brave.
Lmao, the whole song is actually pretty nice instrumentally. Vocals are kind of shit though.

According to Blabbermouth, the plans have changed from EP to LP.
I guess they realised after Anders' comments that they've gotta get five albums out as quickly as possible, else they will never earn his respect.
Well, these are the same people who are reviewing Battles or SC and write something like: "a return to the form, classic trademark dual guitars death metal In Flames..."
It's just an obsession to look into the past for references. People tends to think of history as a continuous. So, they feel safe when they have something, in the past, that they can hold on to. But, THE sounds nothing like anything that they did before. Yes, the elements are there but the final mix is different. It stands on its own.
I just wish THE guys weren't so fucking nice. That kind of question deserves a "are you fucking deaf?" in response.

Stanne, Jesper, Niclas, Peter, and Daniel.
These five members have never been in IF at the same time.
Stanne only sang in the very beginning of the band's career, he has never worked with anyone other than Jesper. And Niclas joined as Jesper's replacement. Not sure exactly how involved he was in songwriting at IF during his time there, but I don't think it was so much. So comparisons to the past are completely meaningless.
