On Foregone In Flames have injected their modern sound with the visceral heaviness and majestic melodies that have been lacking for years, and even Anders Frieden has stepped up his clean singing while also returning to a harsher vocal style. With the release of Foregone, In Flames have shown they do still have the same fire that made their classics so good, and they have done so without totally abandoning the sound they've been cultivating over the last few decades.

You would think just a few recycled melodeath riffs would be enough to put this above their last three albums but theres
something so curiously offensive about this ultra inoffensive, pandering, insincere crap.

This album has moments. I like moments. There are also moments I don?t like.

I just can't stand Anders' cleans... and seeing him in the vids with his trapping stance makes it even worse...

Maybe I've just become so accustomed to how bad modern In Flames is, but this is a fun listen and easily the best In Flames album since Come Clarity.

Really good mainstream Melo Death. State of Slow Decay and Meet Your Maker bring the pain, while the second half of the album gives you catchy choruses and enough cool riffs to sway to. Digging it.

Foregone has taken the band's fanbase by surprise as the Swedes have managed in a skillful way to combine together their classic melodeath aggression with the mainstream influences of their last decade (or so) releases for an appealing record. Riffs are sharp, rhythms are tight and Friden's vocal style has become a bit harsher and rougher but nevertheless, a fine balance between his growling and clean vocals exists.Recommendations: "Foregone Pt.2", "State of Slow Decay", "The Great Deceiver", "A Dialogue in B Flat Minor".

When I was a wee lad, I ordered a pack of Yu-Gi-Oh cards on eBay because the wording made it seem like you were guaranteed a really rare card and when it finally came in the mail it was a bunch of garbage commons. The fact that listening to this album made me recall this very specific memory should say enough about what you're gonna get vs. what the singles and hype tried to sell you on.

Definitely their best work since 2006. Adding Chris Broderick has definitely invigorated some much needed energy with the solo work. Unfortunately, Anders is the weakest link of this band. There's a few mid-paced songs in the latter half of the album that are just bland due to the shoehorned choruses.

You've already heard the best tracks, the album as a whole is much more evocative of Battles and I rThe Mask than the singles would have led you to believe, and if you don't like Anders' cleans, go rahead and call it a day after In The Dark.rThat said, still the best thing they've done in a long time; Foregone 1/2, Great Deceiver, and the rinstrumental intro are killer, and In The Dark gets a shout-out.

So they must hit rock bottom and after 3 or more bad releases finally back on track? Yeah, it's fine, but nothing spectacular. I mean it's really good from start to finish, if you like melo death it's solid to enjoy enough.
