You still heard some songs one will most likely never hear again live, like Touch of Red or Move Through Me. It's also nice from Anders to write songs about menstruation.
I would throw in Fear Is the Weakness or Dead Ships as well. But overall that is a decent set list for modern IF.If I could write their set (in a realistic way) for supporting their new album and still keeping a song from almost every album in there, I'd do something like this:
01. The Great Deceiver
02. I, The Mask
03. Trigger
04. Foregone Pt. 1
05. Foregone Pt. 2
06. Crawl Through Knives
07. Clayman
08. Meet Your Maker
09. Embody the Invisible
10. Food for the Gods
11. Ropes
12. Artifacts of the Black Rain
13. Wallflower
14. Crawl Through Knives
15. I'm the Highway
16. State of Slow Decay
17. My Sweet Shadow
18. Behind Space
Keeping in mind, they're probably going to play the 5 singles from Foregone. Also keeping in mind, this won't happen. But it's an example of something they could do to keep new and old fans happy.
I actually genuinely like Touch of Red, it's a great song. I enjoy a lot of synth work they had on Soundtrack in general.
I am indifferent about ToR, but Move Through Me is one of my favourites from ASOP.I actually genuinely like Touch of Red, it's a great song. I enjoy a lot of synth work they had on Soundtrack in general.
As far as Move Through Me, funny anecdote, on their printed setlist on stage it actually said Behind Space. But for some reason they decided last minute to ignore it and played Move Through me instead. A lot of people were pissed about that.
Not having Cloud Connected and Take This Life there is anything but realistic.(in a realistic way)
Do you think they'll keep some old songs in the setlist for the summer festivals given they have a new album out?
Here are the shows I've attended :
Hellfest 2011:

The most frustrating show being the one at HF 2017... Thanks god they included Moonshield and The Jester's Dance
Some of you guys are really blessed having experienced old school shows back in the days with the true line up and the old songs played.
2022 was the first time for me being satisfied with an In Flames setlist.

It doesn't strike me as an interesting set either. It's a decent "hits" setlist which tries to follow the "try to have at least one song from each record", but unless it's someone's first time seeing them, I'd rather have a more boring setlist with let's say 2 deep cuts.

That's just fucking grim. Luckily it was all festivals, I'd hate to pay for a club show and to get any of those lists.
I have a very hard time going back to ASOP nowadays. Partially because I've listened to it so much when it came out that I've ruined it for myself from that alone, but also overwhelmingly due to how much I can't stand its production today. Plastic guitars and distorted vocals that lack high end in its fidelity. I find it very grating. Song itself isn't all that bad, I think compositionally ASOP is fairly strong, it has only two flaws: Alias and The Chosen Pessimist. First is boring and latter is straight up offending at how bad it is.
It'd look like this:My setlist:
1. Behind Space
2. Lunar Strain
3. Starforsaken
4. Dreamscape
5. Everlost (Part I)
6. Everlost (Part 2)
7. Hargalaten
8. In Flames

10. Clad in Shadows
11. Sounds of a Playground Fading
12. Deliver Us
13. The Puzzle
14. Fear is the Weakness

16. The Attic
17. Darker Times
18. Ropes

20. Jester's Door
21. A New Dawn
22. Liberation
I would call it "The Anti-Jester Slave Tour" and it would kick off in Budapest, Hungary![]()
