This sounds like every other song they've made since Come Clarity.

definitely the most meh song they've released so far

@Toon: (This Is Our) House called.
This is still better than the majority of Battles, and as a defender of that album yeah I can admit it's a little too softie.

he's trying to outrun the shitty music

I, Won't Listen

Geniuenly thought this was gonna be one of the worst albums ever made but at least they proved me wrong on that point. With a proper vocalist this could have been somewhat decent.

"@Toon: (This Is Our) House called."

That song was straight up terrible, this one is just straight up meh

I like how the video resets occasionally, like he was getting winded and they had to cut it

The chorus is catchy

I love that they’re branded as an alternative metal band these days.

My friend turned on apple musics metal playlist and one of the singles from this album was on it. I was fucking shocked that I enjoyed an In Flames song released after 2010.
The chorus is gross but the song is decent apart from that. 2.5/3 out of 5, probably will end up being their best album since Come Clarity, but that isn’t saying a whole lot

Seriously what happened to this band

This isn't bad other than the chorus

FFDP Apologists

FFDP?

Oh nevermind

i can see this album getting decent

guitars on this track are lit

In Flames, like the band's reputation.

Anders will never be able to do any of these new songs live, unless Howard Benson has mics that autotune you in real time, which he probably does.

This band's run out of ideas

Anders is such a shitty singer, he should just stick to screaming

Anders Frauden huehuehue

how can you guys manage to throw the same boring bullshit at this band year after year and still look at yourself in the mirror and think "yeah, im contributing"

This changed my life

this sounds like an ASOP filler
and at this historical moment, that's the closest thing to a compliment they can achieve

"Anders is such a shitty singer" who's a good singer to you?

Anders really isnt that bad. There is just way too much layering and polishing going on in their studio

The layering and polishing is necessary. Without it Anders' cleans are a weak, warbling mess. See Playground and Siren Charms for proof.

One of those bands where after a while you can't help but wonder if they were only ever great by accident

you do know they swapped tons of members right?

They still had 4/5 of their Colony lineup all the way through Siren Charms.

"were only ever great by accident"


they also made stuff before colony

"The layering and polishing is necessary. Without it Anders' cleans are a weak, warbling mess. See Playground and Siren Charms for proof."

Maybe to some degree but I think there's a happy medium to be reached. His cleans sound fine on CC because there's a little layering but not so much that you have some big artificial sounding wall of whiny-ness

I, Won't Listen [2]

Laughably uninspired.

” ”Anders is such a shitty singer" who's a good singer to you? ”

Anyone who can sound good without that much autotune

uhhh have you even listened to their first, like, seven albums?

Probably the best single from this upcoming album.

But that doesn't make it good.

Nah the t/t is definitely the best single so far

agreed

Voices is the best song so far but it wasnt officially released

pirate

CAW CAW CAW

Naw Anders is my best friend. He showed me the song

This is the first one that doesn't sound like a metal song written by the camouflaged pop band that In Flames have been on the last two albums.

To me at least.

Idk that chorus might be the poppiest of all the singles so far

Yeah i was gonna say, did you even hear the chorus?...

"uhhh have you even listened to their first, like, seven albums?"

Even with those albums his cleans are very layered and processed. Never thought id see someone defend Anders as a good vocalist.

Idk I liked his cleans on colony and clayman. They sound pretty layered on clayman but not as much on colony. I think his harsh vocals used to be really good from TJR through clayman. They started going downhill after that and I think he's probably just blown his voice out at this point like akerfeldt
