Is it just me or at least two of the members look like stray dogs? they have weird hair and stuff.

I still think this band receives more than their deserved share of hate. This isn't awful, just painfully average.

Well their popularity adds to the hate. If shitty bands like them werent so popular nobody would really care enough to hate em.

Lack of Synth was a nice change.....too bad that by doing it, they took out the only thing that made them originally sound different than ANY OTHER genericore band.

That was horrible, but it was still the least gay thing they've ever put out. I can honestly say I liked 2 parts in the whole thing. Which is quite the accomplishment by my standards. I will rate this a 2/5 instead of my usual 1 - 1.5.

I gotta say I actually really liked this. There are more actual riffs and some nice melodies in the second half.

The only thing I really disliked was the annoyingly generic breakdown in the middle. Sounds like every breakdown from their last album.

Bring the hate haha

I've always liked Danny's screaming style. Idk this was kinda gay still, their last album was worse than Stand Up & Scream since it had no fun songs at all

pretty average but it's not like I was expecting a Faceless groove in the middle of the song from Asking Alexandria. Still a
lot better than their previous stuff.

The ambient part near the end was pretty gnarly. Otherwise, it sounded pretty much like I expected to...minus the chorus. I have no idea if they were going for something different vocally, or if Danny's voice is going. Not sure.

Those harsh vocals are actually pretty good. Everything else (accept that softer part) was pretty much straight up garbage.

Damn that guy REALLY has to stop singing and just keep to screaming :/

Taken down due to a copyright claim by Sumerian.

Like Design the Skyline's new song was randomly taken down. Guessing Victory didn't want it up yet for
them either. Thing is someone already uploaded that one again.

I could tell by seeing all the 14 year old girls wearing torn "Asking Alexandria" shirts at the Mayhem tour this year that this bands probably not for me. I was going to check it out but its a dead link.

His vocals all sound completely different. His screams are better, but his singing got way worse. The song blows either way.

"Run Free" ? you can't get much more generic than that. I already know it sucks but that completely confirms it for me. I'll pass.

Garbage music; always will be.
You won't hear about these guys 20 years from now.
Slayer, Testament, Overkill, Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy, Morbid Angel, Deicide.
That music lasts longer and still kicks more ass than anything today.

You guys are complaining about the fanbase being so devoted? Obviously, judging by looking at the long string of comments, the AA hater club is more devoted to hating the band and it's fanbase more than the fanbase is devoted to the band.

No matter if 99% of metalcore fans "hate" this song, I liked it a lot, and look forward to the next album.
