Down by a rickety schoolyard, a copy of Dead by Sunrise's 2009 debut album is often seen tied to the flagpole. The first thing students usually do before entering the facility is split into groups of two: one team can throw pistols at Out of Ashes, and the other group's more likely to chicken out. I fall into the latter category, as I don't feel content on wasting my breath with the record. At the end of this droll day, it merely exists for Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington to prove to the world that he can become a successful dad rocker whilst tea bagging Mike Shinoda. You're able to do a lot worse than this side project, and yet you can sure as Hell muster up so much better.

I just found this album at the library, years ago. I didn't even know about Linkin Park. It's a decent album, tolerable to listen to.

Even though the sound suits Bennington's strong vocals, it's a damn shame its wasted on mediocre rock.

Surprisingly good. It's nice to see Chester Bennington in something else than a metal-fueled-by-angst outfit.

Are you guys crazy? This album is amazing and here's why:
Track by Track:
1. Fire
A reasonable opener, with a soft touch. 4.0
2. Crawl Back In
A very catchy heavier track, with a hard rock attitude. 4.5
3. Too Late
Not as good as track 1 and 2. 3.5
4. Inside of Me
A fast paced song with awesome drumming and guitaring, and great vocals only add to the effect. 4.5
5. Let Down
A fairly mediocre soft song, song title explains what the song is... 3.5
6. Give Me Your Name
Good altogether, but after the 4 minute mark it drones on.... 3.5
7. My Suffering
Fats paced, awesome drumming. 4.5
8. Condemned
Best song on the album.. just... Brilliant guitar work. 5.0
9. Into You
Another song like Let Down... fairly mediocre. 2.5
10. End Of The World
Another excellent song! 4.5

Reasonable. 3.5

This album just never reaches the heights Chester apparently thinks his attempt of an "epic" rock album can achieve. While nothing is necessarily bad, there is also nothing that is really worth remembering. This is a band completely created around Chester, and his vocals we have all been hearing for the last decade can only carry this album to a level of mediocrity. It is definitely better than what LP has become though.

Originally, I gave this album a 2.5 - just an average album, without original elements, or terrifyingly bad moments. But, that in itself is what makes this such a poor album. There is virtually nothing worth taking away from Out of Ashes. Chester goes to great lengths to make these songs sound as catchy as possible. His attempts to make each an epic fall completely flat, even with the assistance of Julien-K. All the teen angst he brought to Linkin Park, he's whipped out here, except we're nearly a decade past and the angst has been stale for years. Even discounting the aforementioned, the album is lyrically uninspired, and at times, painfully cliched.
Ultimately, this is nothing more than a poorly executed side project - one that is lacking especially when compared to Mike Shinoda's Fort Minor.

and i though Breaking Benjamin would have the most painfully uninspired album of the year....but oh no. Mr. Bennington has sunk to a new low. Overwhelmingly average radio drivel and nothing more.
