New album Foregone out February 2023

[TheJestersDoor]

That's not really a shock. Foregone generally had a decent mix, so as long as they aim for a similar standard I'm not displeased. Just less processing on Anders' cleans please

Is it any good?

Nice drawings, story wise it's like an initiatory journey in abysmal landscapes

Oh, Battles 2 recordings have commenced eh? Now this place will be more lively...

Maybe I should take a drive down and heckle them, perhaps convince them to give Anders the boot.

Personally I feel that Foregone production wise is excellent. As a massive Nordström fan, I would honestly put it pretty close quality wise to the classic Colony and Clayman production. One of the main differences is simply in the amount of guitar layers and harmonies.

The other Benson albums are total crap; but everything sounds really great on Foregone. Powerful, clear and fairly organic. The main issue is of course the vocals (+ processing) on many of the tracks which could otherwise have been excellent (B minor, etc..).

If they channel Foregone Pt. 1 or the tremolo breakdown in End the Transmission throughout an entire album with the same production, we'd be in for a real treat.

I'm wondering what musicians such as Broderick and now Jon Rice are doing wasting their talents in In Flames. I'm sure the paycheck is the answer, but it's crazy to me that people as good as them are playing/going to be playing such mediocre stuff.

We're talking about a band that has reached the peak of its success after releasing albums like SC or Battles. Nothing makes sense anymore.
