This album is very juvenile, simplistic and the least impressive in their discography.

That being said, this album shaped an entire genre and was ripped off for years to come. The sound to this album quickly became seen as generic, but that was simply because every other warped tour era band ripped off the sound until it became played to death.

No one could do it quite like the original though. No particular song in this album stands out from their discography, however the drum work is extremely memorable to this day. Paired with the production work of Joey Sturgis, the drumming on this album is absolutely phenomenal with some of the best writing and most memorable drum fills you will ever hear.

The guitar, when compared to the drumming, seems very simplistic. That doesn't take away from it at all though, as some of the riffs are super memorable. Even this bands greatest detractors would recognize them immediately.

Although the lyrics and some of the content didn't age well, It's a solid album that will survive the test of time because of its phenomenal production. It launched their very successful career and was extremely influential, and anyone who denies it's influence is simply wrong.

8/10

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 잘만들었... Read More

Asking Alexandria의 2021년 앨범이 드디어 나왔다. 첫 싱글 Alone Again(밴드 약자가 AA인데 첫 싱글 약자도 AA라는 유희가 있다)에서 나쁘진 않을 것이라고 예상은 했는데 앨범 전체를 들어보니 소금 간 안 한 육개장 같은 느낌이다. 물론, If I Could Erase It처럼 좋은 곡도 있지만 이 앨범으로 명확해 진... Read More

Sumerian Records 소속의 밥줄이자, 트렌디한 Metalcore 씬에서 활력을 불어준 이들 나름의 명반이다. 본작을 통해 Asking Alexandria의 인기가 급상승 했는데, 주옥 같은 명곡이 여럿 실리기도 하고 수록곡도 빵빵하게 13곡이나 수록 되어 있기에 충분히 인기에 반영할만큼 완성도 또한 특별히 나무랄때... Read More

두바이에서 결성하여 Ben Bruce와 초창기 멤버들의 처음이자 마지막으로 발매한 첫 정규앨범으로 흔한 Metalcore 앨범을 만들어내는데, 굳이 언급할 필요가 없긴 해도, '밴드의 색깔이나, 사운드가 드러나질 않는 미완성 음반이다'라는 것만 알고만 넘어가기만 해도 좋을 것 같다. 그래도, 두 곡... Read More

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 t... Read More

정규 4집이자 Denis Stoff의 Asking Alexandria 데뷔 작 Drop B 튜닝이며 헤비해진 메틀코어 사운드. 80년대 하드락과 메틀코어의 결합도 보임 보컬의 멜로디컬함을 느낄 수 있다. 세련미도 보이고 Joey Sturgis의 프로듀싱으로 사운드 퀄리티도 좋고 만족함..다만 기존 Fan들에겐 호불호의 앨범이될 수... Read More
