Damn, I totally disagree with you. How is Scorn a shit “deep cut”? It’s one of the best songs from Colony. And how is the title track better? Do you dislike fast paced songs?

What's so great about Scorn? It's a nothing song, and the worst representation of old IF. Subpar melody, subpar vocals, everything is subpar.
Embody, Ordinary, Colony, Zombie (only bcuz of the solo), Coerced and Insipid are good songs. I guess some people would like to add Behind Space t othe list, but I don't really care about that song.
Scorn, Pallars, Resin and the non-solo part of Zombie are fillers. Wasting a live sport should be called heresy, unless the entire show is filled with deep cuts, because then throw it in, why the fuck not.
As for the title track, it or Embody are clearly the best songs to play live fro mthat record. Scorn is an absolute shit live song, even if for some odd reason I'd like the album version.
If you don't think Zombie inc is a masterpiece you're a fucking idiot, to be blunt.
It is probably the most aggressive song on the album. And Anders’ vocals are at absolute peak brutality of all albums and all periods with the verse vocals.
“Since I marked her out from my tower...”
“But I still have no choice...”
One of the best and most memorable solos on the album. Nice build up and resolution to it as well.
If you don’t headbang to this you’re dead.

A masterpiece where - bar the solo - the music monotonously repeats over and over and over again. Yikes. No one would remember that song if it wasn't for the 10/10 solo.
Also, hella boring.
Good for Anders for having brutal vocals on the song, but who cares? A good song with less brutal vocals is still better, than a meh song with brutal vocals.
Also, those vocal filters are the worst thing on the entire album, not just on this song. Pre-R2R production is being sucked off left and right, but this gets a pass. Interesting.

Zombie is an excuse to put that solo somewhere on the record.
Scorn is... I don't know, an actual song from start to finish, but very far from being an outstanding one. Maybe if they hadn't used those vocal effects all over the record, it would stand out as something interesting.

We're waiting for them to start
It's 20:00 in Russia, Saint-Petersburg
Other than being awesome, what is it you don't like about Coerced Coexistence? I mean, I could understand somebody saying they're a bit so-so about Resin or The New Word, but Scorn, Zombie Inc and Coerced Coexistence? Bizarre.

Well, my experience with Coerced is like
1. wtf is this shit, aw fuck, this is my Colony listen-through, gotta suffer through this hsit just like I did with Resin and Scorn ZzzzzZZZ
2. holy shit, this part is fucking good!!!
So yeah, basically shit song, but that part near the end is very, very good. I guess the same can be said about Zombie and its solo, but hey, I still Coerced's "not great" parts more than Sleep Inc.

Zombie inc is a well crafted song. There are no flaws. That's the kind of song that you listen at and know that they've put lot of thinking and effort into it. Coerced coexistence is also good. To me, the flaw on that album is the new word. The guitars are fine but the vocals sound rushed, as if he came with them in the last minute.

be at ease
Coerced is good. It was always a standout for me on Colony.
THIS INFILTRATES MY BRAIN:
IN THE SUNSHINE THE SUN IS MINE
I really don't have any complaints with anything on Colony, except maybe it sounds too homogeneous. I think every track is rock solid.
Also, I'd say "Scorn" is one of the songs I'd point to if I had to choose a typical classic In Flames song.
