As a die hard fan who struggled a lot with the last 2 albums, im incredibly happy with how this album turned out. This probably just needs to be their sound going forward now.
I really feel like people unfairly hate on AA no matter what they do in recent years. The heaviness on this album doesn't sound too forced and the more melodic parts are well written. Things Could be Different totally has some modern Northlane inspiration which is unexpectedly cool. As a whole it's definitely nothing groundbreaking and very much falls in line with a Bad Omens type sound, but it has some cool moments and is a nice easy listen. Solid 7.5/10
Best song: Nothing Left Least favorite: Let The Dead Take Me Their best record since AA5 by far. I enjoyed SWOTI and LAHOF a mixed bag for me, but this is great. I'm happy that you at least gave it a chance, because a lot won't. A problem I have with the album itself is the tracklisting arrangement. It just seems super weird to me.
It’s not the most groundbreaking or interesting music ever, but hey it’s fun easy to listen to and catchy Things could be different and Nothing left are certified bangers also
While this album still isn’t their best work yet (that’s still the Self Titled imo) this is a massive step in the right direction and I hope they can keep this up
@@samuelgoriinsinga9762 Not really. If you’re talking about lyrically, then I guess you can say it’s insensitive and stuff. However, I don’t care about that. The songs are still jams.
asking alexandria was the first metalcore band i ever heard back in 2016, my friends were introducing me into numetal and hard rock, today death/metalcore are my favorite genres and i became a independent musician doing some experimental screamo shit once asking is so important to me, i loved the album!!! i've listening to it everyday since the release, i'm in love
I'm glad you gave it a chance. I genuinely loved this album. I saw them live on Tuesday and Danny honestly sounded incredible. His screams were incredible, and I got most, if not all of his screams on video, esp the entirety of A Prophecy and The Final Episode. His vocal coach was there and he credited him for helping him to be able to scream for everyone again. The whole band sounded incredible, the energy was insane, and they all seemed genuinely happy and excited to perform for everyone. It was like my eras tour lol. It was easily top 3 best concerts i've ever been to. Up there with my Spiritbox concert.
I loved them since the final episode, it was weird to a teenager in Morocco to hear this kind of music but I had fun and memories with this band, and always waiting them to be heavier but theyre getting softer album after album, I wish they could release at least two last heavy Sh before I lost my desire for music forever, I know that danny has voice problems but that would be only digital songs I don't ask him to perform them on stage if he afraid to lost his vocal cords.
The first songs are better than i expected but the second parte bored me. Even with that, this was so much better than everything i could imagine with the singles
To me, their recent work including this is some of their best stuff. Ive moved on from their old stuff and I understand that theyre not moving towards that anymore, theyre doing a BMTH sort of thing where they arent going back to their old stuff but creating intersting stuff that includes elements of it.
Dude exactly. “Psycho” it’s the side of sound that it’s to goofy and cringe for me, and then you have the first three songs that really feel strong and with a serious atmosphere that make sense.
I was surprised by how much i liked that album. Weakest songs were ‚Let The Dead Take Me‘ and ‚Kill It With Fire‘ My highlights were ‚Let Go‘ and ‚Holding On To Something More‘ The previous one was ok LAHOF was better than I thought, but compared to their other stuff it was quite bad. I feel like this one is the spiritual successor to the Self Titled sound wise.
Phenomenal album tbh. I thought the middle was kinda weak at first especially the goofy sounding track that is Let The Dead Take Me but honestly I enjoy that song after a few listens
yes, this is the kind of album that needs to be listened to several times to be enjoyable. listened Dark Void for the first time, hated it. Now its my favorite song off the album.
Is it the same metalcore weve heard back in 2016? No. Does it need to be no? The problem with fans is sometimes they hold too hard on nostalgia and can't accept that new members join into bands and they begin experimenting new styles that suit the new members. It took about two albums, but I really feel they nailed it here and produced a fantastic album that they can be proud of.
bogdan,please,i beg you,to react to the to kill achilles album,or a least the "recovery" song,that album is really life-saving to me (since i am not a native english speaker,i dont know if my comment is polite enough or appropriate enough,genuinelly sorry about that)
I personally think, even with the whacky mid songs like Let the Dead Take Me, is one of their best in the last 10 years. Going closer to that Self titled vibe. Return to form in my opinion!
For me in some parts it felt like Ed Sheeran discovered Octane/ Modern Metalcore but as Rocked said in his review of this album, This truly puts in the question, Where does AA go from here? And I kinda agree, what is next? They did everything there to do...
Let the dead take me is definitely the least favorite for me. But things could be different and let go are AMAZING. and the final two tracks are fun and kill it with fire is just a fun 1 min track.
I'm completely past them being heavy and respect what they've made the last few years, but the last couple albums have been rough. This on the other hand, is genuinely really good, emotional music. The title track hits me in the feels big time. I will say Psycho is pretty awful tho imo.
Well I personally felt like hearing Metal Backstreet Boys so not my thing. I accept some "Everybody" cause this song is part of my childhood but other than that ? Nope ^^ I mean it just sounded like a meme cliché modern Metalcore album.
This album surprised the shit out of me, its genuinely good. 2 bad songs, and the finisher is not for me but its incredibly catchy and does what it has to do.
I actually kinda disliked this one. Not hate at all, I like a few of the songs, but think some are pretty grating to listen to (for example Bad Blood). I think a lot of songs have some good song writing but as a whole album it does not come together all that well. Things could be different and Let Go are my favourites probably. Still looking forward to what they might do in the future.
I didn't like the album at all... for me none of the tracks are memorable enough (despite the fact choruses are pretty decent) for me to listen to it again!
I feel like AA kinda screwed themselves on this album because the singles were just not good and set a bad tone for the rest of the album so people myself Included just didn't listen to it

i agree 1000%
SWOTI was pretty good though
Finally someone who gave this album a chance and didnt just shit on it, thank you bogdan

Bad omens?
This is honestly one of my favorite records from them.
😂😂
Nahhhh lol it’s a good album but not their best
@@bayu585 I didn't say it was their best. I said it was one of my favorites.
it’s their best album after their first 4 imo

This
Really glad you checked it out
I really like it and i also really loved their 2021 album so tyhis just combines heavier stuff and that i love it all
Actually loved this album. James drumming really elevated it for me. Solid!

"Fun" really is the right word, and that's a good thing
While this album still isn’t their best work yet (that’s still the Self Titled imo) this is a massive step in the right direction and I hope they can keep this up
You think their self titled is better than Stand Up and Scream or Reckless & Relentless? lol
@@alexschneider8494 yes, I genuinely do
@@BenjaminFox99 Odd
@@alexschneider8494bruh stand up and scream aged so bad

Choruses, riffs and bridges are the best parts. Simple yet really nice. Was surprised myself I actually liked this album.
dude good job for checking it out anyways. i’m glad you liked it
asking alexandria was the first metalcore band i ever heard back in 2016, my friends were introducing me into numetal and hard rock, today death/metalcore are my favorite genres and i became a independent musician doing some experimental screamo shit

Bad blood and Nothing Left are the best songs of the album
It's crazy how they kept the best songs for the album, but I'm not going to complain. Even the singles sounds better in the context of the album
you should check out their previous album too, i kinda like the vibes of it
The female singing in let go is Grace Grundy. She sings too in i don't need you (LAHOF album).
The first songs are better than i expected but the second parte bored me. Even with that, this was so much better than everything i could imagine with the singles
To me, their recent work including this is some of their best stuff. Ive moved on from their old stuff and I understand that theyre not moving towards that anymore, theyre doing a BMTH sort of thing where they arent going back to their old stuff but creating intersting stuff that includes elements of it.
It was interesting when I found out Kill It With Fire was all Ben screaming
nice! now i can’t wait for you to listen to the new TWA album
Saw them 2 weekends ago, dream came true, but about Danny's vocals, fucking awesome, man is on fire
been repeating this album for about 2 months now. My favorite is Dark Void and then Nothing Left
Dude exactly. “Psycho” it’s the side of sound that it’s to goofy and cringe for me, and then you have the first three songs that really feel strong and with a serious atmosphere that make sense.

LAHOF was better than I thought, but compared to their other stuff it was quite bad.
I feel like this one is the spiritual successor to the Self Titled sound wise.
"Let the dead take me" reminds me a lot of zombified 😅
Any plans to check out the new Woe is Me song Red? It’s an amazing comeback single. Hopefully all their new releases are on par.
Where Do We Go from Here? > Like a House on Fire and See What's on the Inside !!!
Phenomenal album tbh. I thought the middle was kinda weak at first especially the goofy sounding track that is Let The Dead Take Me but honestly I enjoy that song after a few listens

I love this album.
i gave the album 7/10 its defo much better than the previous 2
Bad Blood is actually good, probably my favourite off this one

That's the first album of asking alexandria that I've enjoyed since from death to destiny
Nothing Left is my preferred song

Sounds like a mixture betwden corheed and cambria and ice nine kills 😂
Where's the reaction to orbit culture new album? It's 🔥
Caskets album ?
For me in some parts it felt like Ed Sheeran discovered Octane/ Modern Metalcore but as Rocked said in his review of this album, This truly puts in the question, Where does AA go from here? And I kinda agree, what is next? They did everything there to do...
I liked the previous album much more but this is still pretty rad. Not as good as the OG stuff, but still enjoyable
Asking Alexandria WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOD'S
It is actually really good
I heard less 3 days Grace from things could be different and a bit more Obsidian era Northlane
Please do a review of The Word Alive newest album Hard Reset ❤
Bogdan, please check the new Escape the Fate album
I really like this album
It's certainly better than "like a house on fire"
9:12 cracked me upppppp
I honestly think this album was really good
Im impresed with this new album
Esse álbum tá do krl mrm
there is a new AA album? wtf
Hey dude, listen to LVCAS - Odisseia, a brazilian artist pls, very inspired by BMTH and Spiritbox
Yep, really wasn't that bad. Quite enjoyed it, actually.
I really liked it myself.
So sad you actually avoided the last in flames album.😥
Bro check pls new Orbit Culture album!😢😢
Why does it sound like Fall Out Boy?
Not gonna lie, some of the tracks I've heard so far randomly have surprised me
Let the dead take me is definitely the least favorite for me. But things could be different and let go are AMAZING. and the final two tracks are fun and kill it with fire is just a fun 1 min track.
It's not bad, it not good. I personally would never listen to it more than once.
Sounds good 👍
I'm completely past them being heavy and respect what they've made the last few years, but the last couple albums have been rough. This on the other hand, is genuinely really good, emotional music. The title track hits me in the feels big time. I will say Psycho is pretty awful tho imo.
Well I personally felt like hearing Metal Backstreet Boys so not my thing. I accept some "Everybody" cause this song is part of my childhood but other than that ? Nope ^^
I mean it just sounded like a meme cliché modern Metalcore album.
Whole album was mid - Last song was a banger! As soon as it ends and I hear "bad blood" I just put the last track straight back on
This album surprised the shit out of me, its genuinely good. 2 bad songs, and the finisher is not for me but its incredibly catchy and does what it has to do.
Been a fan since day 1. This is the best AA album so far together with the Self Titled album.
I prefer his 2017 album
I actually kinda disliked this one. Not hate at all, I like a few of the songs, but think some are pretty grating to listen to (for example Bad Blood). I think a lot of songs have some good song writing but as a whole album it does not come together all that well.
Things could be different and Let Go are my favourites probably. Still looking forward to what they might do in the future.
i feel like if they had another name no one would listen to this album xd
Went through the album myself as well. Like 2 songs are 4/5s. The rest are 1s and 2. Not good
If this album didn’t have Kill it with Fire on it, I’d have no negative feedback, but that song felt pointless and forced.
personally i think this album kinda sucks but hey im glad you found some merit in it
Personal opinion, I found this album was really disappointing boring and soulless.
I’m going to be honest, I don’t like Danny’s vocals, but if he wasn’t on this album It would be the most generic album I’ve heard,
not bad but not very memorable too
my unpopular opinion of the year is that LAHOF is better than this album, SWOTI and FDTD lol
No. Just no. Unfortunately, still no. Nothing happenned since the 5th album.
Very weird album
i was expecting something else. sorry it didn't click on me, no hate but i think they lost the spark
I didn't like the album at all... for me none of the tracks are memorable enough (despite the fact choruses are pretty decent) for me to listen to it again!
Sorry, it's just boring.
Sorry, not for me😂
It’s just not the same…..
I feel like AA kinda screwed themselves on this album because the singles were just not good and set a bad tone for the rest of the album so people myself Included just didn't listen to it
Hey man Dark Void was a banger imo
Bad Blood is a banger track, the other two not so much though.
