As a fan of their older stuff and also their new stuff, I think this album is by far the best sound for them. Musically, this album sounds like the crossbreed between Slipknot and Motley Crue, and artistically, is Asking Alexandria at their peak.
This album has the most emotional intelligence of all of their discography and a lot of other albums in the same genre. Some of the lyrics are so deep and heartbreaking it's darn near impossible not to feel something. From unapologetically submitting to their demons on Don't Pray For Me, to woefully expressing the grief of losing someone you love to those demons on Killing You, this album is a gut punch of emotion.
The writing on The Death of Me (the metal version not the watered down -but still good- radio edit) is also phenomenal, lyrically but most impressively sonically. The meshing of the powerful yet warm and somber guitar tones to create a soothing yet devastating wall of sound backed by the powerful drums edited with a hint of the Joey Sturgis sound we all know and love but mixed with a blend of the more natural and dirty, with a more flat sounding kick drum sound we would normally hear from a Slipknot record really gives the drumming a bigger sense of legitimacy due to it sounding more live and natural, which is vital as James Cassell's is one of the best to ever do it. The guitar riff on this song is absolutely mesmerizing only to be matched perfectly by the sporadic yet rhythmic vocals which implement various style ... See More

분명히 일반적인 메탈팬들은 부정적인 시각으로 볼만한 앨범이다.가볍게 유행타는 블포나 여타 밴드들보다 약간 더 메탈릭한 메탈코어 밴드니까 말이다.하지만 나는 가볍더라도 음악이 좋으면 점수를 낮출 필요는 없다고본다.
일단 음악은 전체적으로 클린에서의 멜로디를 꽤 잘만들었다.인트로가 약간은 어정쩡한 느낌이 들긴 하지만 무난하게 잘 이끌어 나가서 괜찮았고 타이틀곡과 5번트랙은 클린으로 넘어가는 파트나 멜로디를 바꿔주는 부분에서 그루브감을 매우 잘살려서 특히 좋았다.물론 타이틀곡 막판의 다운 리프는 약간 아쉬움으로 남았지만 말이다.또한 8번트랙이나 11번 트랙이 멜로디를 매우 드라마틱하게 연출하는데 성공해서 앨범의 완성도를 높여줬다고 생각한다.
그리고 이 점은 약간 사람마다 다르겠지만 나는 지금 보컬의 현재의 스키드로우가 떠오르는 약간 올드스쿨한 보컬이 이 밴드의 장점을 좀더 부각시켜줬다고 생각한다.이유는 간단한데 이들의 멜로디를 듣다보면 8,90년대식 헤비/LA 메탈에서 보여주던 멜로디의 느낌을 받는데 올드스쿨한 보컬이 잘 어울리게 들어가기 때문이다.

확실히 "Stand Up and Scream" 때보다는 훨씬 타이트해졌습니다. 하지만 특유의 이미지와 가사 때문에 정말 가끔만 들을것 같네요. 그래도 들을만 합니다.

메탈코어를 기본으로 특유의 현대적 터치를 적절하게 입힌 앨범. 작곡 부분에서 센스가 느껴지며 헤비함도 놓지 않아 꽤 마음에 들었다.

마초특유의 분위기가 사는 빗다운 리프위주의 메틀코어를 좋아하지만 이정도 멜로디를 가지고 놀수 있는 멜로딕 메틀코어 그룹이라면 얼마든지 빠져들을수 있을꺼 같다 보컬역시 찢어지는 이모 보컬이 아닌 쌍팔년도 하르록밴드 보컬 특유의 증후한 소리를 내고 있어 더욱맘에 든다

...80년대의 리스펙트가 돋보인다고 해서 이들을 이미 알고 있던 난 청취 이전엔 상상이 안됬는데, 듣고보니 괜찮았다. 사비 부분의 보컬 멜로디 훅이 꽤 괜찮다.
