Rather than coming across as a collaboration between Pendulum and In Flames, "Self vs Self" simply sounds like an In Flames track with Rob singing a little on it - and, as such, it doesn't fit with the other songs on "Immersion" ... so I don't like it for that reason. :x
I disagree. In Flames drummer sounds nothing like Pendulum's. The percussion is distinctly drum and bass yet metal at the same time. I think it blends beautifully.

Pendulum sure reached out on a limb with this one, and it surprised me the first time listening through the disc. In Flames does show through a bit more in this song, I agree, but saying Pendulum's influence isn't there just merits a deeper listen to both bands' catalogues for their cues. They're both there.

While I agree that it sounds more In Flames than it does Pendulum, I think the inclusion of this track was right on the money.

While many (and many more) may disagree, drum and bass shares very little difference between In Flames style metal. Sure, there's a few more guitars, but the pace and beat is very much the same.
