    Ronnie Radke's lyrics are convincingly nasty. [Oct 2013, p.91]

    Throughout the album, there is chaos.

    It's highly doubtful that anyone other than a true-blue fan would be able to get past the asinine boasts, the overwhelming misogyny, and the pure outlandishness of it all.

    No. There are too many 10s for this album from idiotic high schoolers spewing platitudes like, "You just don't understand Ronnie" or asinineNo. There are too many 10s for this album from idiotic high schoolers spewing platitudes like, "You just don't understand Ronnie" or asinine claims attesting to the inaccessibility of the song structures, rather than their complete non-existence. There's nothing to understand. He's an egotistical hack with no talent cut and pasting sections of styles to come out with an even amalgam. Hopefully this 0 can balance out the misguided praises of pubescent fangirls.… Full Review »

    I am literally shocked and appalled that after such a fantastic premier album that "Falling in Reverse" could release such an album like thisI am literally shocked and appalled that after such a fantastic premier album that "Falling in Reverse" could release such an album like this one. It's misguided, confused, and disappointing. There are some songs here that I do actually like, but I've never listened to an album that can range from excellent to generic then right to terrible the way this one does. Even more shocking is that it can make these changes right in the middle of a song!

    The problem with this album is that there is so much failed experimentation with the band's musical style. Everything sounds great when the band is sticking to it's rock and screamo/metal roots, but everything goes to hell the moment the album takes a misguided turn in order to experiment with musical styles such as hip-hop, rapping, pop, techno, electronica, and even country. The moment this happens everything just starts to sound awful. Even worse the quality of the lyrics even degrade, especially when Radke starts rapping. The lyrics can range from deep moments where Radke is singing about his mother, to downright juvenile and plain out and flat stupid anytime else.

    This is a very disappointing album. Nothing here lives up to the bands previous work. There are still some really great songs here, and I do respect them for having the guts to experiment with their sound, but I can't help but feel like this album is the epitome of a failed experiment. As far as I'm concerned the majority of this album will be a permanent blemish on their record that will make it hard for me to excited for any future work they may do in the future.    … Full Review »
