    Falling In Reverse's fourth album proves that they are still a relevant band in an otherwise dying scene. In fact it showcases Ronnie Radke's songwriting abilities to an extent not present on any of the previous records. For the first time, Falling In Reverse seem to mean what they say, they no longer hide behind goofy lyrics and empty phrases aimed at angsty teenagers.

In fact it showcases Ronnie Radke's songwriting abilities to an extent not present on any of the previous records. For the first time, Falling In Reverse seem to mean what they say, they no longer hide behind goofy lyrics and empty phrases aimed at angsty teenagers. Of course Radke is no Shakespeare, but this time he puts a lot of effort into his lyrics, giving them a rather vulnerable touch. This is not an angry record, neither a happy nor a praticularly sad one, it is somewhere in between, it embodies the acknowledgment that all these aforementioned feelings exist within the context of a human being and are therefore an integral part of the journey. However some things never seem to change, the obligatory "fake friend song" is present **** You And All Your Freinds", obviously aimed at Max Green), Radke's ongoing conflict with his mother who left him as a child is addressed as well ("I Don't Mind"). In the end, Ronnie Radke is still very much the same haunted man from the band's three previous records, only this time he accepts his lot and tries to move on. Essential Songs: Broken, Hanging On, I Don't Mind & The Departure… Expand

    I like it. Pretty different from their last album, but still very hard hitting and overall a great album, with some of my favorites being "Loser", "F*ck You and All Your Friends", and "I Hate Everyone".

    this is such a great album and its super relatable. Falling in reverse will continue and always will stay to be an amazing band. They are great performing live and they put on a good show. Compared to etf this band is down to earth and cares about the fans. They always go all out when performing which makes them great.

    Coming Home scrubs away the band's aggression and tries to get more emotional, but all it does is end up sounding like that perv you'd never leave a drunk friend around.

    It's an amalgamation of what they've done before but without the rapping, or hardcore, and with the pop dial turned to 11. [15 Apr 2017, p.51]

    The album maintains a brilliant balance between uplifting and confessional, playful and serious. It's the most real, honest and self-aware record FIR have released to date. [May 2017, p.80]
