    Finally man. As an oldschool Asking Alexandria fan, the song Let the Dead Take Me was like my guilty pleasure. I'm having incredible fun. Yes, the na na parts may be unnecessary, but it never feels like the song Down to Hell. but my main favorite piece is things could be different

  • @StarkMusic_
    @StarkMusic_ Před 8 měsíci +33

    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

  • @magiaburst
    @magiaburst Před 8 měsíci +41

    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.

    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.

    To me, their recent work including this is some of their best stuff.

    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.

  • @CartmanRobin
    @CartmanRobin Před 8 měsíci +1

    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.
